CMDRs Log - Deeply Uninteresting Expedition - Stardate 220722
Previously
Okay, let's clear some things up. I am currently around six kylies from The Bubble with my fleet carrier,
Sundari's Testimony, in Sanguineous Rim, on the Perseus Arm of the Galaxy. It's not a crazy distance from the bubble. (I could reach home in two hours if need be!) This means I have much more leeway for losses and accidents.
The idea is to plant
Sundari's Testimony at a particular spot and then turn the area blue (from not visited to visited) around her for 50lys. It means the carrier does not move much. In fact, there are only two reasons she moves. One is if we stumble across a Metallic Ring with Platinum Hotspot. The other is this:

So we have called the carrier in.

Shore leave for the crew and plenty of research opportunities.

At over a thousand ls from its parent F-type star, it's a bit tropical down there at an average 35C. The pressure is slightly less than Earth at .68 Atmospheres despite gravity being the same as Earth's. At 71.4% Nitrogen, 23.6% Oxygen and 4.8% Water, it's the equivalent of being around 10,000 feet on Earth and humid at the same time. The partial pressure of Oxygen on the surface means that some acclimatisation will be needed. Long-term habitation is possible without any ill side effects.
The same system has a number of interesting planets...

...but they are dwarfed by this discovery.
So now we have a new starting point. Turning the galaxy blue, one star at a time! o7
