[ I've been thinking, and I decided to meet some other FT nations through the tried and true method of appearing in someone's fringe colony.
A note: The destination of ship can be detected by a pre-jump IR signature where it is going to come out of transit. I'm not sure what BT uses as an interval, but I'm going to go ahead with fourteen hours. It's not strict BT canon, anyway. :P ]
+++The small Hector-class jumpship had finally finished its month-long energy storage routine, having stayed at the Outward Bound recharge station and fringe outpost for the Claranese Explorer Corps--of which said vessel was a part of--the furthest system occupied by the Claranese.
+++The system to which it was bound initially was fourteen-point-eight-oh-nine light years away, the Heaven's Eclipse system, which was the target for construction of a small recharge station, but it would not stop there, as the station mentioned had not yet been started. Dumping power into its KF drive from the lithium-fusion battery/reactor core, it would make another jump coreward, this time to a system that had no name--merely a catalog number.
+++Fourteen hours after the Iacia began charging again, it made transit to SX-98-341 system, and as its sensors stabilized after the brief shake-up they experienced, it began to make its first scans in the system.
