Greetings and o7, CMDRs!

INTRODUCTION
DLNV Leo’s Vision (KLB-44V) - the Dogs of Lore’s first Fleet Carrier- has accepted a commission from the Deep Space Support Array to moor at planet A 5, Hyueths HS-H d11-5 (The Twins’ Garden), in the Kepler’s Crest region of the galaxy. The Dogs of Lore squadron and community is excited to accept this mission, and we are honored to provide a waypoint and refuge for weary explorers and CMDRs at the edge of the Outer Rim territories.

The expedition will launch from the Dogs of Lore home system of Pathamon and take a scenic route due south along a galactic meridian to its destination. Along the way, we’ll also make time for a myriad of community activities, including:

  • Ship, fighter, and SRV exploration
  • Mass-jumps
  • Canyon racing
  • Speedbowling and high-gravity landings
  • Precision flight competitions
  • ...and more!
That doesn’t mean it will be all fun and games. We’ll have plenty of challenges along the way related to lore, historical POIs, scientific research and discovery, logistics, and navigation. After all, we’ve got two arm gaps to traverse.

Finally, we’ll try including a bit of interactive narrative and role play on and off stream, including expedition leader CMDR MalForTheWin (I know that guy - that’s me!), Dogs of Lore community members (on the fleet carrier and back in the bubble), our NPC crew members of the DLNV Leo’s Vision, and NPC station personnel back at Klein Survey (Dogs of Lore HQ).

THE DSSA
Qohen Leth said:
The DSSA is a project to deploy a network of support Carriers all over the galaxy to help explorers in their deep space travels. Those Carriers, offered by individuals, groups, factions or squadrons, would remain in a fixed and public location for at the very least a full year, open to all, with at least repair services, at a fair price (other services are at the owner's liberty). Beacons in the profound night, they would form a mesh of safe harbours for anyone who would need a rest stop.

THE PACING

We'll take our time at first, exploring the many POIs between Pathamon and Barnard's Loop. We'll speed up during the latter 60% of the expedition when we're traversing mostly empty space, including two large arm gaps.

I'm based in the US, but also have a full-time job, a few contracts, and a family. Therefore, I scheduled the carrier jumps around my Twitch stream schedule so we can do as much as possible together during these times.

And since not everyone has the same constraints, and we're located all over the world (time zone hype), we'll stop at each waypoint for at least 1 Earth day.



YOUR ROLE (AND BENEFITS)
Taking part in the Leo's reach expedition means you'll be taking part in Elite: Dangerous history by helping to deploy the DSSA. You also get to hang out with the Dogs of Lore - a friendly, casual, and relaxed group of CMDRs.


COMMUNICATIONS
We'll be using the Dogs of Lore Discord for text and voice communications. You can join us with this link:

You can also keep up to date with the expedition via the official DLNV Leo's Vision Twitter:

EXPEDITION: SUCCESSFUL

The DLNV Leo's Vision is now on station in geo-synchronous orbit around planet A4 (dubbed Leo) in the Hyueths HS-H d11-5 (The Twins' Garden) system. We're on station for 3 years (at least) as part of the DSSA. If you happen through the Kepler's Crest region in that time, come by! We're setting up a permanent channels in our Discord (https://discord.io/malforthewin) for the Fleet Carrier that will include text, voice, announcements, and a visitor's log.

Thanks to all the participants and to everyone who made this deployment a success!.
