Greetings, Commanders. My own hunt for Gan Romero continues. I have taken a meandering route from nebula to nebula moving towards the galactic core. I think I've travelled way more than the 16,000 or something ly I am away from Sol. I have not seen any trace of him but a few weeks ago I got excited in the Eagle Nebula when I went to scan the nav beacon and there was an NPC ship which I scanned. The pilot's name was Commander Something (I forget his actual name) and for a moment I thought it was an independent CMDR. I couldn't hail him however and realised it said Commander not CMDR. I figure he was part of some military prison thing as the eagle nebula houses a prison colony (lovely place ). He was flying (iirc) a T7. I thought it odd as I've never seen a Commander.
Since then I have surveyed countless systems and found no trace. I did find the tiniest nebula ive ever seen though. it really only had one system in it. I've scoured the norma expanse and the norma arm. I've found a lot of water worlds on my trip, a few elw's and ammonia world's, some stellar phenomenon, a few black holes (one of which, I dropped out of hyperspace right in the exclusion zone of and I thought it may be my last), but no Romero. Most of the nebulae are already discovered but they are new to me. sometimes I wonder what I'm doing, a trader pretending to be an explorer, but I am getting the hang of it and enjoy finding new world's and especially systems nobody had visited before. I am heading right into the centre now, using neutron stars to go almost 260ly a jump but after reading what others have said I will slow down in the empyrean straits and search there. After that the galactic core then I'm heading back to the bubble to consider what to do next. I won't be giving up looking but may take a short break. I really need to dock somewhere and repair my powerplant and hull. Also, i just want to hear the comm chatter and see ships. Its getting spooky out here, i think i see things in hyperspace. Seriously. I'm sure i saw a bright object moving the wrong way in the corner of my eye and when i tured my head it vanished. On the plus side I'll never have to worry about money again. If I actually make it back!
Fly safe, Commanders
