And what do I find? A system that contains a Proto-Lagrange Cloud with Purpureum Metallic Crystals and Lattice Mineral Spheres, as well as Prasinum Metallic Crystals and Rubeum Metallic Crystals. I took a 100K ly trip with no notable stellar phenomenon only to find this on the virtual doorstep to the bubble!

This trip was running low on finds, I was finding countless valuable systems and worlds - but nothing notable in a single system. Finally got a bite tonight, while running through a good line of Neutron Stars making my way to Colonia through the Perseus Arm I happened upon a N.S. system with an Earth-like world and 2 Terraformable worlds. Can't wait to cash in on this one back in the bubble.

Made it out to the Star One system tonight (Byaa Thoi GC-D D12-0). This is the system closest to our galactic neighbor, Andromeda. Headed a few million LS out towards it and was able to get some great photos. Well, great photos of a backdrop of nothing against Andromeda. The system itself isn't interesting in it's own right. But I don't even recall Beagle Point being as black as this. The pure black background gets disorientating, no different than the other edges of our galaxy but in a way it is satisfying to turn everything off, let the systems start to ice over, while just starring into the black nothingness...

To be honest it was not very exciting - the were amongst some icy rings and I nearly flew right into one as they are so small and hard to see from a distance.

For science, I did fly "Asp Me No Questions" to see the effects - and other than very mild shield damage and some systems interference, nothing else occurred. On to Star One, this was a nearby detour.

I discovered another super rare Water Giant on the edge of the galaxy in the Errant Marches region. It's just too bad that these are not worth as much as they are rare, but nonetheless still a good find out here.

I've discovered more of these Crystalline Shards on Bleae Thoea LW-E D11-1, interesting that they seem to grow out of geological structures in all cases I've found them.

Found another Herbig Ae/Be star this evening, 2nd on this exploration detail actually. I've only found one in my previous 1 million plus LY of exploring, yet found 2 in 40K LY of exploration on this trip. Hopefully this good luck won't mean bad is coming....

I had an interesting find this afternoon - I'm way out on the edge of the outer rings in the far edge of Errant Marches region and stumbled upon some Crystalline Shards. The odd part is they were literally on a site of ice fumaroles and growing out of them.

I've found plenty in the past, but it took 650+ jumps and over 34,000 LYs out into the Errant Marches before I found one on this current expedition. The lack of Earth-likes has made me feel this part of the galaxy is just dead.

Nice unmapped/unknown find late tonight - a Herbig Ae/Be star along with an Ammonia world & 9 Tauri stars. Strange noises about while mapping.... freaked me out a bit, maybe just tired. Keeping this system confidential until I return back to the home worlds.
