Day Two thousand one hundred and forty-four:
Waypoint №51 - 4,898.05 - 192,053.55 - Bees Patthar (Penguin's Rest), Gooroa GY-F d12-7 A2a: 43.74, 105.13
About 300ly out from Muntasir I discovered an unexplored neutron system at Chraichoi OS-R d5-9. It has been a long time since I have seen a neutron system with no discovery tags. It was a dull system with just three solid planets, but still. There are still unknowns out here.
Encountered my first Earth-Like World in well over 10,000 light-years at neutron system Roefe AT-F d12-48, the only moon of the second planet in the system, itself a High Metal Content World. Unfortunately this had already been discovered and mapped by Commander Whitepinada. I was unable to reconnoitre the Earth-Like as I was about to lose my last pip of spare fuel, and so I jumped straight out and into the next system. As luck would have it this next system, Roefe QL-J d10-45, had never been visited by anyone before and consisted of a single Type A star, four High Metal Content Worlds including a terraforming candidate, a Water World and an Earth-Like World. I selfishly scanned them all and mapped the Earth-Like, the Water World, and the terraforming candidate.

At neutron system Blia Aod OS-U d2-85 the FSD began failing again. Unfortunately, thinking that it would be ok since I had already throttled down, I started repairing the FSD whilst still in Supercruise, causing an Emergency Stop. Hull Integrity is now at 96%, AFMU 98% and Power Plant 99%.
Another FSD repair at Flya Prau DY-F d12-9 required a Basic AFMU Refill to complete, leaving me with 282×Nickel, 232×Zinc, 232×Chromium and 218×Vanadium in my Materials Storage. That's enough for 72 more Basic AFMU Refills, or 218 Basic FSD Injections. The ninth refill since Explorer's Anchorage, and the first since DSSA Stellar Oasis. There is no way I'm running out of Materials.
Approaching Bees Patthar there was quite a run of neutron stars, 24 out of the last 42 systems on my route, most of them previously explored. Out of the previously explored neutron systems I passed through, I managed the odd mapping tag here and there, most notably at Prie Auwsy UJ-I d9-13 2, a ringed High Metal Content World and terraforming candidate, first discovered by Commander Zatoichie.

Two of the 24 neutron systems however were entirely unexplored before I arrived, and one of those, Hypunua OG-Y d16, was a green system at that with all of the Materials necessary for all FSD Injections. One of the previously explored neutron systems, Hypunua XS-U d2-8, was also a green system that had no less than 53 bodies, with all of the planets and moons having already been discovery tagged by a Commander Voraciouswhite. Every last one. So well done him. And his choice of scary Commander name. Woo.
The Bees Patthar System Gooroa GY-F d12-7 is a binary system with a Type A primary and Type K secondary stars. The primary has four orbiting ringed Gas Giants with with some twenty landable moons between them, most of them rocky, and having between them again all of the Materials necessary for all FSD Injections, making this a green system too. With its FSD Materials, central location, and nearby string of neutron stars, the system was chosen as a Waypoint on the Sagittarius-Carina Mission of 3301-3304. I am the fiftieth visitor to the system according to EDSM.
Upon my arrival, my first order of business was to visit the historic landing site Penguin's Rest. Unfortunately it was night-time when I landed there, in the huge ray crater that dominates the Rocky Body Gooroa GY-F d12-7 A2a, that was chosen as Camp 12 of the Sagittarius-Carina Mission. The parent planet, a ringed blue Class III Gas Giant keeps Penguin's Rest tidally locked in its orbit, and so perpetually sits on the horizon from the landing site.

Seeking to make my mark in this system despite every last moon having been scanned, I made First Footfall on two of the moons that had yet to be set foot on, beginning with Rocky Body A1a. I landed on the edge of a shallow crater, and descended a little way into it on foot before quickly returning to my ship before my suit batteries expired in the 335K heat.

Finally I landed on Gooroa GY-F d12-7 A3d to make First Footfall there. This Rocky Body is especially interesting as it orbits the ringed blue Class III Gas Giant A3 in a close binary pair with A3c, has active volcanism, and deposits of Polonium. At first I came down near a field of interesting fissures and tried to descend to the floor of one of them.
