o7 !
I knew I wouldn't be sitting in the Bubble for long. Coffee, cake and I'm about to move further into the world Smile
I'm creating this thread as a souvenir, so that in some time I will have something to come back to and maybe encourage others to make a similar trip with cool views Smile
The most important thing is that I came back and replaced the Anaconda with something more maneuverable. I wouldn't have been able to do it a second time Biggrin
Let's get to the specifics...
Stellarum Terminus.
Year 2025.
Purpose: Exploration of the mysteries of the galaxy.
State: Mandalay
*An idea that exceeded expectations.
Every great expedition begins with a single thought. *The seed of an idea that, over time, grows into something that can no longer be stopped.
It began with questions that had no answers. Among the lost missions, abandoned wrecks and legendary locations, there was a truth that no one had managed to discover until now. *Voyager's Graveyard, Great Annihilator, Raxxla - places that existed somewhere on the border between reality and myth.
Is it possible that someone before us knew the answers? Was there a path that only needed to be found?
“Stellarum Terminus” is a three-year expedition that will take me into the unknown, full of mysteries and breathtaking landscapes. I will have the opportunity to visit places that are not only fascinating from a scientific point of view, but also full of inspiration from the world of Star Trek and other legendary places in the Elite Dangerous universe. During this trip, I will explore amazing nebulae, planetary systems, and ruins and objects associated with alien civilizations. I will also face rest periods in selected systems to gather strength for the next stages of this fascinating journey.
Expedition Plan
- Start: June 1, 2025
- Duration: 3 years (36 months) with monthly stops in selected systems for 7 rest days
- Range of the ship: 80 kly
- Daily game time: 2 hours per day (expedition adjusted to my rhythm)
- Expedition size: I will cross galaxies, visit both classic and unknown places in the Elite Dangerous universe, as well as places inspired by the Star Trek universe.
Places I will visit:
- Ngc 1300 - a spiral galaxy with countless stars
- Kepler-186f - a planet that could be home to alien life forms
- Trifid Nebula and Orion Nebula - amazing nebulae.
- Zeta Alpha II and Zeta Alpha (Star Trek) - ancient ruins and traces of civilization
- Barnard's Loop - a landmark in stellar research
- Pleiades and Omega Centauri - selected sites for galactic discoveries
- Sagittarius A - the center of our galaxy
- Voyager Ruins - a remote expedition in the footsteps of the first space missions
The goal of my expedition is to explore the mysteries that the galaxy has to offer. During this trip, I will explore stellar structures, the formation of new planets, discover historical ruins, and look for unusual phenomena in space. Major activities include:
- Exploring undiscovered planets and nebulae
- Collecting samples and scientific data
- Searching for technology left behind by alien civilizations
- Researching star formation and planetary systems
- Resting in selected systems to gain strength for the next steps
- Photographing unusual space landscapes and moments that will stick in my memory
The journey through the far corners of the galaxy, as well as to other galaxies, will not only be a challenge, but also a source of countless discoveries. The expedition will take me to previously unknown places, where unique objects - including black holes, nebulae, and the gravitational field around stars - will await study.

Of course, I'll be uploading updates from the route, from the start, every checkpoint and other noteworthy places, so that it won't be that I missed something, but also to commemorate this trip. Upon my return, I will rather deal more specifically with other activities.
We can do everything, but we don't have to do anything - Welcome to ED Wink
See you somewhere where no man has reached....
