After spending the last couple of weeks doing uninteresting stuff, trading mostly, in the area around LHS3447, I've finally gotten my ship to the configuration I wanted it to be to spread my wings and leave my home neighbourhood. This involved upgrading everything apart from the fuel tank with an emphasis on lightness, fast power recharge and versatility. After upgrading my power distributor in GD219 to one I'd been eyeing up for a while, I knew the time had come. I just had to sell my Freagle, which I never used, and I'd be on my way.
I'd read about goings on in Sanna in the news and so decided to head down there to see what was going on. It was a fairly epic, by my standards, 115Ly voyage, up till now I'd been no further than 15Ly from LHS3447 (though spent more time in Eravate really). I'd practiced bounty hunting in GD219 and felt ready to face the universe. Along the way I made a few stops to sell and buy commodities (I'd looked ahead at what kinds of economies were along the way), made some extra cash bounty hunting, saw a close binary pair, somehow managed to pick up a 150cr bounty of my own, entered the Empire for the first time, and visited a prison colony with a station orbiting an earth like planet around a brown dwarf which for some reason had a tourist economy. Perhaps some Imperial bureaucrat has a sense of humour and was describing the residents of the system as tourists on mandatory holidays.
I arrived in Sanna a few hours ago and then docked at Skyways High and logged off for the night, awaiting what might be going on tomorrow. There were certainly a lot of large ships in the vicinity of the station when I arrived, a convoy of Anacondas (Anacondae?). The traffic report showed about 250, so fairly quiet I think by most standards but I expect more people will be heading there. Not only is there a civil war brewing, but we're right on the border, surrounded by Imperial systems and closer to Achenar than Sol. Senator Torval's homeworld is just around the corner while the famed anarchy system, Reddot is also nearby.
So is anyone else in Sanna, or planning to come here... And what do you plan to do? Take sides or just capitalise on the chaos?
