Steady progress greets us. This is well.

The kith of old, the kith of our noble father, would have balked at the quiet and humble work - we welcome it gladly, not least because it helps the new members settle in and practice their trade.
The forging of the raw bounty of stars and their assembly, the long barterings to afford their just price, the navigation across fields and clouds, and yet more. There is much to do, much to know, and we too are learning as we direct.

So far, we have overseen minor contracts and what Guilders refer to as 'freelance work', as in to work for none but ourselves and our own terms.
This is most agreeable to us, though less directly profitable, as the bulk of the goods ends up being stockpiled within the Aldebaran's hold, awaiting employ in the construction of new vessels.
A few more Manaslu have already joined the ranks, and a third Annapurna; we yet lack the numbers to see them all crewed, but we will in time.

The amsaiira moves, leaving the shimmering nebulae of the Tau region behind and edging the House of Bretonia.
One of our first surveyors hails from there, a young girl; spirited, bright, hopeful, eager to see the wonders of the heavens... and perhaps leave the dismal sights of home behind, we surmise.
It is a much distressed region, that of the Kingdom, though it regardless holds itself as the mightiest of empires.

We shall see what can be gleaned from its outskirts.
