There is an area of stars known as the [[Anaconda Graveyard]], reachable only by a long-range ship with a [[Neutron Highway|neutron boost]]. The trip is one-way though, as there is no way to get a boost large enough to return from the [[star system|system]]. The CMDR in question originally contacted us months ago, wanting to know if it was possible to be rescued. After being informed it would take the capabilities of a Fleet Carrier to pull it off, the CMDR went on their way - and came back just in time for the first official Fuel Rats fleet carrier to be in the middle of the commissioning ceremony.<ref name=":0" />
