This will be the start point of The Red River squadron's yearly outing.

Small pinkish diffuse emission nebula with a 50 LY radius, situated along the Orion Spur in the direction of the more visually impressive Eta Carina Nebula.

In late 3302, Alessia Verdi, a commander associated with the enigmatic CMDR Salomé, set up an exploration community goal (Directive Two) on behalf of the Children of Raxxla. The goal was to retrieve and analyze as much survey data as possible from three specific regions. Those regions being the Formidine Rift, The Scutum-Sagittarii Conflux, and Hawking's Gap (Lin-Shu Hollow).

On analysis of the data, CoR Intel discovered the location of several navigational beacons in each region, that in turn provided the planetary location of several settlements. (Source)

These settlements turned out to be staging posts for a mysterious 'Dynasty Expedition' that had traversed the location three decades earlier and had set up bases there.

This wispy, red nebula is situated about a thousand lightyears above the galactic plane on the border of the Circinus Transit and Norma Expanse. The nebula is very small, not extending past 10 light-years in any direction and is thus lightly explored.

This system contains some of the Guardian ruins discovered within the Teal Nebula in the Eorl Auwsy sector.

Three ancient sites are found in this particular system:

Site 214: Type: Alpha Orbital Body: ABC 1 H

Site 221: Type: Gamma Orbital Body: ABC 3 C

Site 222: Type: Beta Orbital Body: ABC 3 C

Situated approximately 2,000 LYs above Sagittarius A*, this system was Waypoint #12 on the Distant Worlds 3302 Expedition.

From the basecamp vantage point commanders get a spectacular view of the expansive galactic core regions below. An awe-inspiring site that only a few have witnessed first hand.

Warning: Stuemeae FG-Y d7561 is a binary star system. Commanders visiting the system need to be aware that its possible to exit hyperspace close to one of the stars.

This station acts as an Exploration and Scientific research hub at the very core the Milky Way, just a few light years from Sagittarius A*. Proposals for the construction of a station at the galactic core were first pitched to the Pilots Federation (FDev) in January 3304 by CMDR Erimus Kamzel, as part of the core mission goals of the Distant Worlds 2 Expedition.

In October 3304 Transorbital Dynamics (NPC corp) commissioned the building of the Explorer's Anchorage, along with the nearby scientific installation 'New Horizons'. This paved the way for the the Distant Worlds 2 starfleet to be build the installations during their journey to Beagle Point.

The station superstructure was constructed (via a Tier 11 Community Goal) in January 3305 at the Omega Mining Asteroid base.

Sag-A* was first reached by CMDR Zulu Romeo in late November 3300 while he was doing a scouting mission for the First Great Expedition (FGE) towards the galactic core. At the time no one expected that it would be possible to reach the galactic core before massive FSD failure would be experienced, but Zulu proved the resilience of modern drive technology by continuing on and on.

About 2500 above the galaxy disc there is a cluster of 28 black holes. There is also a 29rd one which is 300 higher and seems to be unreachable or at least one way trip. There are few scoopable stars in this sector, and most of the systems are quite distant from each other, so 50+ jump range and at least 5 premium FSD injections are highly recommended.

This system at 3354 light years above the plane, is believed to be the highest ever reached as of 11 Jun 3303.

The name 'Ascent' evokes the ongoing struggle to reach the peaks of our galaxy, and the rewards for those who complete the journey. Visiting Ascent will require neutron boosting and FSD injection, including the challenging "double boost" method - in order to reach the required a maximum jump range (with boost) of 220.44 light years.

The Grand Formation was an event during the Distant Worlds 2 expedition of 3305.

Organized by Mad Morans Flying Circus, this event saw 36 pilots (many of them in bulky exploration Anacondas with undersized thrusters) engage in stunts and maneuvers never before attempted by a formation of this size.

After a couple of hours of fun and thrills (and formation logistivs) the event concluded with a loop and hyperspace jump in formation.

The first waypoint system where the first ever Colonial Marine Wing gathered during the inaugural patrol (October 3302). The system was jointly 'tagged' to mark the ceremonial beginning of the Colonia Citizens Network's attempt to patrol shipping lanes from the bubble to Colonia.
