Entry 0002 - The Route

CMDR's Log
08 Sep 3302

My home base is Nehet. Nice, well-populated system with a high tech economy. You can fit out pretty much anything there, from a free Sidey to an A-Class Clipper. Not too close to the Capital to be loaded with traffic, but well inside the safe confines of the Empress Duvall's sphere of influence. There's also some fair spots for bounty hunting, if you know where to look.

The starting point: Nehet

Here's where we're headed first. Maia, in the Pleiades. Seeing as I'm shooting for the quickest route out to the outer rim, and it's in the right direction, and I hear the Seven Sisters are some big, gorgeous, blues, I figure it'll be a nice first stop. Buying and fitting the ship actually took less time than I planned for, so I've got a bit of time to burn. Why not?

First stop: Maia 
Maia is about 415 light years aaaand...

There it is

15 jumps away.

Everything is squared away. The tanks are topped up, the (disgusting) long-haul, high-calorie provisions are packed, and I've got enough scrubbers to last me four lifetimes. Station control is chattering in my ear as I type, "LAKON Alpha Uniform Bravo, you blah blah blah". I guess I'll be lifting off shortly. Here's hoping the GalNet connection stays solid out in the rim. I'd hate to lose contact.

Next you hear from me, I'll be out in the black.

CMDR Aubrey Herreshoff,
Signing off.
