It has been a long journey through the Norma Expanse and into the Arcadian Stream.

A fleet carrier DSSA Nova Blues has made base at Eord Prau ZK-N d7-711, what a convenience!

I headed there to sell my exploration data so far, it ended up being an expensive experience. 25% fees. Extortion. At least the prior damage is now repaired.

Onward to Sgr A* !

Finally made it to the Norma Expanse. Ship's hull down to 95% after an accident in getting too close to a star. Landed on an unusually small planet (Ploi Aec AZ-T c18-1 B 1) - the first planetary landing of the expedition. Next stop Leviathan's Lair and then across the Expanse.

Items of note since the last entry...

• 1 earth-like world, several water/ammonia/terraformable worlds

Ploi Aec AZ-T c18-1 B 1 (208km radius):

As I write this I am sitting in the Ploi Aec sector, halfway through Hawking's Gap, heading directly towards the Norma Expanse. I reached Hawking's Gap yesterday after leaving from Jackson's Lighthouse, cruising at a cool 650ly above the galactic plane in my trusty exploration-engineered Dolphin. It's been only undiscovered systems for some time.

The long-term plan is:

1. Visit Sgr A* via an unconventional route up the Arcadian Stream.
2. Restock and repair at Explorers Anchorage
3. Head directly to Beagle Point
4. Attempt the jumps to Oevasy SG-Y d0

In the short-term I plan to stop off and visit TrA X-1, or Slenguia LC-V e2-4 (Leviathan's Lair).

Discoveries of note so far...

• A handful of water worlds, ammonia worlds, and terraformables
