Today marks the first day of my new life.
It was the day when I finally was handed the papers to my first starship, a Rustclaw-class trader going by the name of Profitable Venture. Sure, it's old and worn, but it still flies like it was new, and has a sizable cargo hold to boot. I wasted no time before I launched from my home planet of Zearla. I planned to make my way to the cluster's central hub straight away and sign up to the Empire to support the faction. Alas, no plan survives first contact with the enemy, as they say.
My travels were stopped at a narrow pass through the energy fields of Ackarack, just past the JFK foam. A huge crystalline structure was blocking the way, and after inquiring in the global communications network about the possible hostility of the object, the passage was deemed impossible as the Space Crystal is a very dangerous adversary indeed. But there was a silver lining to the blockage after all, as the local Trade Outposts were paying a good price for any Exotic Matter extracted from the JFK Foam. I netted a good 200k credits during the day, before I retired back to Zearla to rest for the night.
Today was a good day.
