We'll start our expedition from Tellus, direction the Orion-Cygnus minor spiral arm. It is a side branch to the Perseus arm. The region proceeds from the Orio-Persean Conflux for another 25.000 LY before transitioning into the Orion Spur.

If you aren't fully equipped your ship, Ahern Station is an high-tech station. Nicou is living here and ruling the system. Feel free to outfit your exploration ship, and follow the local rules (Alliance of Independents Systems). Join our Discord and have fun: https://discord.gg/bws5TNj You're ready for an adventure. Beautiful sights, credits, fame, Explorer ranks and memories are awaiting!

The HIP 72043 system, located on the edge of civilization in a largely independent area between Alliance space and the frontier, is home to two billion people. Most of these take residence on the 4th planet of the system (known as "Magellan" among the locals), or on one of the four Orbis stations that is to be found here.

One of these is the starport Kippax Ring, the headquarters of the Institute of Galactic Exploration and Research (IGER). The IGER's mission is to encourage and support research and exploration in deep space, and to ensure free dissemination of the results of such activity.

One example of this has been the Sagittarius-Carina Mission, and the "Scouts Rest" bar on the observation deck of Kippax Ring has officially been designated as the final waypoint for that mission. IGER has also been a strong supporter of the Galactic Mapping community project by providing cartographical data and high-definition star charts of the galaxy.

In addition to the terraformed world of Magellan, the HIP 72043 system is home to another three life bearing worlds. All of these are candidates for terraforming, but no such plans are underway. The diverse conditions found on these three worlds offers a unique insight into planetary development, and IGER has placed research facilities planetside to study these conditions as well as the indigenous life that has been formed by them. The research facilities also serves as testing grounds for further settlements and exploration equipment for the day planetary landings on atmospheric worlds in general becomes possible.

Nervi 3 A is home to one of the largest mountains so far discovered. This behemoth towers over the landscape, and is over 50 kms in height - so high that its summit is above the dropout point from orbital cruise!

A system containing a stellar group aligned in an almost perfect straight line, all four in near proximity to each other. Classes M, L, L, T.

A large blue 09 Class V star, approx. 2,000 LYs 'west' of Sol in the heart of the Sadr Region.

While most Wolf-Rayet stars burn bright and hot, the Buboes Star, tucked well beneath the Orion-Cygnus Arm, is chilly, in comparison. In fact, the Buboes Star burns just 54 degrees Celcius hotter than the boiling point of water. With its purple hue, reminiscent of a Y-class dwarf, and the black Bubo-like splotches pockmarking its surface, this frigid star sits in solitude, accompanied only by a sparse asteroid belt. Yet, it serves as a stark reminder of what strange extremes can be found in the galaxy

Traikeou AA-A h0, a Wolf-Rayet dominated star system, hold the same Nebula naming convention as it's neighbor Traikeou AA-A h2, the nebula in the sector making it a quick target for investigation.

Entering the system you're welcomed by the brilliant Purple glow of the Wolf-Rayet class star, and it's surprising 3 neighbors (all Blue-White), making this system a Monolith (full of stars). The purple hue seen throughout the system was truly a sight to behold.

The further pair of Blue-White stars in the system have drifted so close together, it looks as if they may collide sometime in the future.

Let's get closer to Colonia

And closer

It's a rare occurrence to find a body with a close orbit to a White Dwarf. It's an even rarer occurrence for this body to be 22 times the mass of earth, to be twice as hot, and to be composed entirely of ice. While there is no volcanic activity on this planet, it provides an incredible opportunity for sight-seeing.

A triple Earth-Like world star system.

Jaques is a barman, a property owner and a cyborg. Back in the year 3200, Jaques had been running the same bar in the same starport for an inhumanly long period of time. His tale was recounted in the “Stories of Life on the Frontier” booklet included with 1993’s Frontier: Elite II, wherein we learn Jaques owns half the starport and plans on taking it on a voyage across the galaxy just as soon as he buys the rest.

"I guess it will take me about another fifty years to buy up the rest of this place and another ten to fit it out with enough drive engines. I think I'll do what Augustus Brenquith did and fly off into the unknown and explore new systems. But I like people as well, so in sixty or so years time there will be an invitation going out: anyone who wants to come along can join me on a long trip.”

Twenty-two years after David Massey wrote the short story “All That Glisters...” in Stories of Life on the Frontier, Jaques is doing just that. It took a little longer than expected (the old Coriolis Station wasn’t robust enough to take the drives he wanted…) but he got there in the end.

NOTE: Don't forget to gather some mushrooms on Colonia 3 C A! Coords: 47.21 | -174.16

Yes, the one. Don't forget it is very long to calculate routes here because of the many stars in the surroundings. There are tips to improve these calculations, but we'll keep it simple: be patient.

A pair of binary Earth-like worlds nearly directly below the Great Annihilator. They enjoy gravity of a buoyant 0.7 Gs and their atmospheres are 30% Oxygen - potentially allowing for some very large carbon / oxygen-based life forms to evolve!

A system containing a staggering 4 Earth-Like Worlds! - currently the highest concentration of ELWs in a single system so far discovered. The primary hyperspace exit point is a neutron star, but at 23,000 LS distance there is a M-class world blessed with 4 orbiting ELW's; 'Eora', 'Bidjigal', 'Gweagal', and 'Kameygal'.

Gas giant with a visible 1.5 million km ring. What makes it exceptional is a ringed landable moon whose orbit plane is angled, providing a beautiful scenic point. The location lies 18,000 LYs out on the Sag A* "highway" - easy to visit for most travelers.

One of the largest solar systems so far discovered. The system contains a staggering 113 celestial bodies with the primary object being a neutron star.

At 13,400 LYs from Sol, this system, discovered during one of the longest duration expeditions on record (at 10 months), contains four worlds with liquid water, one of which is an Earth-Like world.

Discovered in the days before planetary landings was possible, this system was highlighted as interesting candidate to study just HOW close a planet and its moon may orbit each other. Would it be possible to build a bridge from one to the other?

After planetary landings became possible, a landing site for the Sagittarius-Carina Mission was scouted on a very high plateau topped with wavy dunes.

A visually spectacular earthlike world with a double ring system. The inner rings are orbiting so fast that it is visible to the naked eye.

A quadruple Earth-Like world system only 2,500 LYs from Sol - making it not only a rarity but also close enough to human borders to be considered a major colonization and tourism candidate.

This system is home to four waterworlds. That's an interesting occurrence in its own right, but what really makes the system stand out is that three of the waterworlds are in a trinary planetary system.

Two Earth Likes orbiting one another: 'Terra-Castor' and 'Terra-Pollux' (planet 6 and 7), as well as a Water World: 'Tyndareus' and various high metal content worlds including two terraformable.

NOTE: You are getting close from SOL. I advise you to prepare an Escort Request thanks to the Iridium Wing: https://iridiumwing.space/#/ They are a group of players, ready to help you getting back safely to the SOL cluster.

Congratulations on this long and, hopefully, fantastic Expedition! Feel free to sell your Data where you want to. Don't forget the Engineers Elvira, Felicity or even Palin; you can increase your ranks with them pretty fast.
