Halted for the ring

Our progress is halted to focus on the ring round HEN 2-333. Celestial Light Brigade carries the chain on toward the HEN 2-333 to Kaw route start, Graea Hypue YG-B d14-658; when the ring is finished, our progress resumes there.

62 of the planner's 63 circle systems are ours (the Dukes control them), 52 on 24 October.

Counted for the first time: Graea Hypue CW-S c5-1, Graea Hypue HD-K b12-5, Graea Hypue BL-W d2-143, Graea Hypue BL-W d2-65, Graea Hypue BL-W d2-58, Graea Hypue BL-W d2-47, Graea Hypue FR-U d3-105, Graea Hypue WQ-E b15-4 and 2 more.

The front

Our nearest system to Sagittarius A* is now Graea Hypue EE-L c23-55 in Guardian Ruins to Kaw Road, 11,914 LY out: 181 LY closer than Graea Hypue FX-J d9-12 on 24 October.

13,822 LY covered since 26 February 2025, 53.7% of the way from Mikunn.

New on the route

96 systems of ours are new to the pull along the route, 66 of them under our control: 31 in HEN 2-333, 14 in Pipe & Stem, 13 in Guardian Ruins to Kaw Road, eleven in Omega, eight in Highway to Lagoon, five in Norma Reach and 14 elsewhere.

Furthest along: Graea Hypue EE-L c23-55 (11,914 LY from Sagittarius A*), Graea Hypue DC-Y b45-23 (11,928), Graea Hypue ZX-M c22-51 (11,953), Graea Hypue XM-O c21-41 (11,964), Graea Hypue VP-B b44-8 (11,976), Graea Hypue RJ-D b43-22 (11,990).
Most people: Graea Hypue IX-S d4-187 (1.5 billion), Snake Sector DB-X d1-60 (407 million), Graea Hypue MZ-L c9-36 (307 million).

Colonies finished

Spansh now flags 19 more of our route's systems colonised: Col 359 Sector QZ-Q b34-2, M7 Sector LF-L b9-2, Col 359 Sector SO-H d10-124, Bleia Eohn PC-B d1-87, Omega Sector EL-Y d204, 2MASS J18184067-1647276, Gria Drye NC-B d1-217, Prieluia DT-H b24-1 and 11 more.

The Highwayman

Moved 126.9 LY from Graea Hypue HM-I b40-13 to Graea Hypue DC-Y b45-23 (Spansh's report of 30 October).

On to the HEN 2-333 to Kaw route start

Celestial Light Brigade's chain runs from beside the Hollow Veil, where it leaves our Blae Hypue SY-M c9-6, through 229 of its colonies (3,063 LY), by way of the hubs Graea Hypue HQ-W d2-70 and Graea Hypue CR-L d8-85, to Graea Hypue WR-X b45-14, 366 LY short of the HEN 2-333 to Kaw route start, Graea Hypue YG-B d14-658 (Spansh, 31 October).

The planned route, Raven Colonial's nexus “Sag-way Hen 2-333 to Kaw Nebula 1” (read 31 October): 27 systems on from Graea Hypue EE-L c23-83 to the HEN 2-333 to Kaw route start, Graea Hypue YG-B d14-658, every hop 15 LY or less (372 LY), then its long hop of 2,313 LY to Boepp TU-E d12-691, in Kaw Nebula 1.
Complete on it so far: Graea Hypue CR-L d8-85, Graea Hypue JY-E b42-12, Graea Hypue FX-J d9-12, Graea Hypue DW-U a78-0, Graea Hypue IX-S a79-0, Graea Hypue HM-I b40-13, Graea Hypue LS-G b41-18, Graea Hypue ZV-L a83-0, Graea Hypue PY-E b42-14, Graea Hypue ND-F b42-15, Graea Hypue RJ-D b43-22, Graea Hypue VP-B b44-8, Graea Hypue XM-O c21-41, Graea Hypue ZX-M c22-51, Graea Hypue OJ-G d11-252, Graea Hypue DC-Y b45-23, Graea Hypue EE-L c23-55 and Graea Hypue EE-L c23-83; 27 still to come.
57 colonised systems lie within 250 LY of the way to the HEN 2-333 to Kaw route start (Spansh, 31 October): 41 Celestial Light Brigade, 14 The Dukes of Mikunn, 2 none.

Toward Sagittarius A*

Over these 7.0 days our progress waited on the ring; the tracker's front came 181 LY closer.

The pace since the start: 22.6 LY a day, which would reach Sagittarius A* in about 527 days, around April 2028.
The pace over the last three months: 28.4 LY a day, which would reach Sagittarius A* in about 419 days, around December 2027.
