The Distant Worlds 3 Expedition has moved into the Empyrean Straits after a month exploring the Trojan Belt and Arcadian Stream. The flotilla is now heading toward Waypoint 13, continuing its large-scale survey of stellar density and properties. DSS Operations Executive Hermine Delarue highlighted the value of exploration data collected at Rainbow’s End, which has streamlined ongoing sector sweeps.
