Chris "Zertz" Tompkins Travel Logs
Log Entry: Planet Hamburg, Hamburg System, Rheinland Space
Well, here I am, I’m actually doing it. I’ve gotten my way here somehow. I’ve purchased one of those Rheinland Military fighters, the Valkryie, and outfitted with some looted weapons I got doing their contracts. I’ve got half a million to my name and am heading out to see the fringes of space, high adventure. I half suspect I’m crazy.
Log Entry: Hamburg Jumphole, Berlin System, Rheinland Space
That was close, decided to check out some rumours on a Hamburg to Berlin Jumphole in one of the nearby asteroid fields, turns out it was true. The Hessians, Unioners, and Bundschuh all agree on one thing, that I should die. Got out of that one by making a quick jump, made a quick getaway through the fields and found another jumphole to Dresden. Even the Junkers don’t like me, maybe I can find someone to fix my rep.
Log Entry: Lava Field, Dresden System, Rheinland Space
No wonder Dresden has some much Hessian activity, there’s a massive asteroid base in the sulphur clouds! Good thing I was on cruise or I would have been dead for sure. I docked at the Leipzig Base or something, Daumann Heavy Construction base. One of the workers there told me about a base near Schultz in Omega 11. He said you have to go through Stuttgart, which is a jump to Berlin, then a jump to Stuttgart, to get there, unless you use one of the jumpholes. These jumpholes are handy things. One of the Bounty Hunters told him after a couple rounds of drinks. I’m heading out now.
Log Entry: Solarius Base, Omega 11 System, Omega Border Worlds
Oh man, nearly bought the farm on that one. First I enter the system from a jumphole from Dresden, and find myself being shot at by all kinds of pirates, Unioners or Bundschuh, couldn’t tell and don’t really care who they are, I managed to skirt over to the gate to Stuttgart and a Military patrol took them down. I always liked those guys. I met up with a Daumann convoy and followed them to Solarius Base, its always on the dark side of Scultz to keep out of the radiation which is everywhere. They say they’ve lost a lot of fighters out in the Van Rohe belt, Van Rohe was some explorer who found the system and bought the big one doing it. There’s no official maps, but one of the BHG patrols have decided to let me come along if I help out. They probably know what they’re doing.
Log Entry: Planet Deidus, Omega 11 System, Omega Border Worlds
Oh God, that was dangerous. We flew out and engaged some Hessians, simple enough we had them down, then two more wings came in. At that point we decided to flee, my path to Solarius was blocked and they were coming in from all directions. I left the planetary fragment field and headed straight for the Van Rohe belt, the radiation was immense, my ship hull was feeling it, the computer giving all kinds of warnings, I enters the belt and took a hard right, rabbiting for Deidus. I barely made it, the Hessians broke off back for the safety of the fragment fields. The radiation was pretty bad out there, spotted several wrecks of those who died trying to make it rich on the diamonds. I spotted another jumphole and when I feel good and ready I’m going to go through there. But first better get the nanobots reinforcing my hull again.
Log Entry: Freeport 5, Omega 41 System, Edge Worlds
Thank the maker for neutral Zoners. The Omega 41 system is worse than Omega 11! Atleast you could hide from the radiation in Omega 11, out here the entire planetary fragment field is irradiated by that neutron star, the closer you get the greater the radiation. Ouch! I picked up some communications signals from across the system and discerned it was a Freeport, a neutral station operated by the Zoners. I had to make it through a Hessian-Corsair battlefield, with mines and crossfire and everything, but I eventually made it. On the plus I found someone who could smooth my reputation over with the Corsairs, had to pay with 125K credits, but it was worth it to get them off my back. He says they have a base around this system and there’s a jumphole to their home system, Omicron Gamma. I might take a look there, only problem is I hope this keeps quiet, the Corsairs aren’t liked much in civilized space and I am a civilized person, just with a flair for adventure. The Zoners are pretty okay, pretty neutral. They have another Freeport in Omicron Theta, I passed the jumphole to there apparently. Mabye I should go there, I don’t really know.

would be pretty cool unless of course this is about what your exploits are what you did then by all means keep going im liking this.
