I am loving my Thor Bomber. In all my recent combat operations, it has performed well. It was the ship of choice on my journey for new weaponry. Destination: Planet Gammu, in some unknown system. According to a Zoner docked at Freital, I would have to go through the Corsair homeland, Omicron Gamma, to get to this distant planet. I set off after repairing and restocking my ship.
The trips through the Omega systems were relatively quiet. Some corsair patrols along the way attacked me - they were no match for my Thor's weapons. In Omega-41 I evaded some more patrols of Corsairs and Bounty Hunters, finally reaching the Omicron Gamma jumphole. It was a risky decision to use the anomaly. I was going deep into Corsair territory. There was no way of telling what would be on the other side... Who knows, a fleet could be gathering to invade through the jumphole!
Thankfully, there was nothing but puny Weapon Platforms on the other side. I escaped the Gredos Cloud into open air. My long-range scanners didn't suggest there were many Corsairs in the system, so I headed to the Malvada Cloud. Using the coordinates supplied by that helpful Zoner, I managed to find the Omicron Kappa jump hole. It was surrounded by the wrecks of many Corsair fighters. It seems that the Corsairs must have a ritual to do with this hole...
When I emerged on the other side of the jump hole I was amazed! I was within some sort of asteroid field, with these strange alien rocks surrounding me. In the distance I could see a giant red sun, along with a smaller green star very far away. The green star was being sucked into something, perhaps a black hole?
After readjusting to this alien environment... My scanners picked up a patrol of unknown ships. They practically appeared out of nowhere! There were four small fighters and a larger, gunboat-sized ship. They appeared almost organic, shimmering with blue light. I realised that this system must be controlled by these aliens. These ships quickly engaged me and I began to retreat. Better to live than to die in some lost system, all alone...
I cruised towards a distant planet, I thought it must be charted. When I got closer my scanners picked up a docking ring and some ID satellites - this was Planet Gammu! I sped towards the docking ring and flew down to the surface, escaping those strange ships.
Planet Gammu was an abandoned world. There are no humans or living things here... Just robots. It was quite strange talking to robots but they were quite advanced. I managed to purchase a Supernova Anti-Matter Cannon from the robots in exchange for many credits and some advanced alloys. It seems that the robots need more metal to build more of their bretheren. They also gave me some free anti-radiation pharmacuticals, apparently the Planet suffers from high-radiation from an unknown source.
The Planet surprisingly had some comms channels connected to some Freeports in other systems. I used them to relay this transmission back to command.
