{{Quote|{{clr}}The first starport constructed in the Galactic Centre region has officially opened its doors. | |||
Explorer’s Anchorage, an Orbis starport, has been built in the Stuemeae FG-Y d7561 system as part of the Distant Worlds II expedition. | |||
Councillor Magnolia Gill, the starport administrator, announced its operational status: | |||
“For the last four weeks we have watched our new home take shape, using materials delivered by many hard-working pilots. Now it spins in the galaxy’s heart, a monument to humanity’s ingenuity.” | |||
“As well as serving as a safe haven for future explorers, Explorer’s Anchorage is a scientific research installation. We hope to learn more about the supermassive black hole at Sagittarius A* and other astronomical phenomena in the Galactic Centre.” | |||

Unlike previous waypoints, Swoals IL-Y e0 was a system that could only be reached with the use of [[Neutron Highway|neutron star supercharging]] or [[Synthesis|synthesizing FSD injections]]. An alternate waypoint base camp, "Lower Hades Edge", was selected in the Hypiae Phyloi LR-C d22 system on planet A 2 (surface coordinates 23.675, -113.437) for those expedition members piloting ships with jump ranges below 45 ly, or those who did not wish to use neutron star supercharging. | Unlike previous waypoints, Swoals IL-Y e0 was a system that could only be reached with the use of [[Neutron Highway|neutron star supercharging]] or [[Synthesis|synthesizing FSD injections]].

From March 24 to March 29, the expedition traveled to Waypoint 9, the basecamp "Tranquility Valley" on planet 3 A in the Phroi Bluae QI-T e3-3454 system. The system was known for its neutron star and the "Cerulean Tranquility", a light blue nebula. The optional waypoints along the route were: | |||
*Lasoae BF-A f810 ("Iris' Missive") | |||
*Lyaisua SJ-Z e7708 ("Blue Rhapsody Nebula") | |||
*Brairee KD-S e4-2776 ("Forgotten Twins Nebula") | |||
*Hypoe Bluae VP-O e6-8688 ("Dances with Giants") | |||
