Captain's Log #11 - Arrived at Colonia

Arrived at Colonia with some astonishing steps on the way...

Captain's Log #10 - On my way to Colonia...

After spending lots of time in the bubble, I have decided I needed changes... I did a quick stop at the shipwash, and left!

Some new adventures are upfront and very welcome!

Captain's Log #9 - Home...

Arrived in the civilization after a short trip 5000ly away. The delay for the Captain's log has been caused by all the engineers' visits and the special treatments I gave to some pirates.

As for my travel back, my crew and I had on the multiple unexpected encounters.

After scanning a system, I found out some non-human signals that were apparently Targoids. I called my fellow commander to help me investigate those signals. We found what looks like a crashed space ship in a crater. We have been able to retrieve some unknown fragments, to provide to our engineers for study. Who knows, they may be useful for something! HIP 17403 A 4 a

We started investigating an abandoned outpost on the planets, in order to find what happened. The atmosphere was unfriendly and enigmatic.

While in my SRV, the terrestrial vehicle, we have been visited by one of those Targoid that many commanders are talking about. HIP 17403 A 4 a

After being scanned, I returned to my ship, took off, and fly by that magnificent ship... While it was scary at first, they seemed to be friendly to us. They continue scanning the camp for a while before leaving us alone. HIP 17403 A 4 a

In a nearby system, we found a second crashed space ship, but the study didn't have any results. Pleiades Sector AB-W b2-4 9 a

I also found a remarkable earthlike planet with very big rings. HIP 24408 2

Now that I am back home, I will focus a while on improving my ship before returning to exploring the universe.

I have to admit, 5000ly was closer that I thought. But I made me want to go further, and also for a longer period of time. The ship must be ready to travel far and be repaired on the move.

Captain's Log #8 - Heading home...

We decided not to stop on the way back home, as I have an appointment with my engineer to improve my ship thrusters.

On the way, I still saw this interesting planet. Nothing exceptional I presume, but it is my first that looks like this. It's not landable, so we didn't stay long.

Captain's Log 7

Visit Jellyfish Nebula Neighbourhood

As soon as I arrived, I started exploring around. First the system I was already in, then the nearby systems located within the Nebula. The sceneries offered are astonishing!

Jellyfish Sector BA-A e7

Jellyfish Sector MI-S b4-1 DE 1

Spending the night here... seems to be very cold outside!! Jellyfish Sector MI-S b4-1 DE 1

Jellyfish Sector MI-S b4-1 DE 1

Jellyfish Sector MI-S b4-1 DEF 2

Jellyfish Sector PD-S b4-1 B

Jellyfish Sector PD-S b4-2 B 1

Jellyfish Sector IH-V c2-16 9 b

Jellyfish Sector IH-V c2-16 9 b

One if the system nearby contains a neutron star... The energy liberated by this start is so high that the light is very strong. It was not easy to rest and fall asleep there. The number of landable planets in the nebula is much lower than I expected.

CXOU J061705.3+222127 5 h

We decided to stay here, enjoying the sun. We got lucky and spectate a solar flare... wow Jellyfish Sector HW-W c1-6 A A Belt Cluster 1

My crew and I are now heading back to civilization. We will log any interesting discoveries if we found some.

Captain's Log #6

Arrived at the Jellyfish Nebula after a long series of jump system to system. Thanks to all those neutron stars on the way, the journey became an easy ride on the highway!

For my last jumps... I was able to see the Nebula where I was heading to.

Arriving at my destination system, near an asteroid field. The planet offers a nice view

I have also been lucky to find a station there, far from the civilisation, but very helpful allowing me to refuel and repair my ship. Its configuration is unusual, as it has been built inside an asteroid!

My crew and I are ready to explore the surroundings...

Captain's Log #5

A Week of local activities before a first 5000ly journey.

Harvesting raw materials that I will use engineering my exploration ship. It offers peace in this chaotic universe.

A small visit to my engineer... the view is awesome!

A taste of home in a faraway place:

On my way, I found the rest of what looks like a space ship. I decided to land and have a closer look. I have been able to retrieve and decode the ship logs... The story was really sad and unexpected. RIP Jameson!

Some scenaries and lost civilisations on the way:

It is time to start my 5000 Journey to the Jellyfish Nebula, with maybe a few steps on the way.

To be continued...

Captain's Log #4

Another day on my trip. My crew found on the scanner a nice moon where we can rest and enjoy the view: Outotz LS-K d8-3-Outotz LS-K d8-3 B 5 c

Captain's log #3

while my journey is just starting, I already experienced lots of wonderful sceneries that makes me want to continue the adventure.

Some peaceful moon to have a break:

My first guardian encounter:

Some alien life:

Some beautiful stars:

Consequences of my pirates encounter... (you should have seen the pirates !!) Needs repairs and engineering:
