Stage 3 of the expedition began on April 7, and consisted solely of the 14,500 ly route from Waypoint 10 to Waypoint 11, which was the base camp "Magnificent Desolation" on planet 3 A ("Luna's Shadow") in the Smootoae QY-S d3-202 system. This was the longest distance between waypoints thus far in the expedition. Members were given until April 19 to complete the stage, and two optional rest stops were designated: | |||

During their travels to Waypoint 11, expedition members were encouraged to participate in the Boreas Expanse to Aphelion Mapping Survey in conjunction with the Galactic Mapping Project. The Survey asked members to [https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/information-the-galactic-mapping-project-expedition-hub.116450/ submit] scientific or visually interesting points of interest they discovered along the route, with a particular focus on three relatively unmapped regions: the Boreas Expanse, Styx, and the Bleak Lands. The Survey planned to accept submissions indefinitely, even after the conclusion of Stage 3, and the best submissions would be added to [https://www.edsm.net/ EDSM].<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/distant-worlds-2-discovery-submissions.462526/#post-7341685 Frontier Forums: The DW2 Mapping Survey Event, post #3]</ref> | |||
