Fellow explorers,
Today we I have led an expedition to Copernicus with many of our officers. On the way there we disabled an uncooperative Cardamine smuggler and destroyed the contraband.
The system itself is strange, laced with many hazards - we have even ended up in Sigma-13! A lot of trial and error with the local anomalies is required to make sure you stay safe.
In the end, we got out of the Sigmas by repairing at a local freeport and returned to base. The system, surely still holds many mysteries we can explore.
