Galaxy Trucker

My uncle is notorious for his get rich quick schemes. He was messaging me constantly during his last one. I swear he’s only doing this so I know where he is at all times!

Notes on Business

The Galactic Exchange only allows for four types of goods to be bought and sold: Novelty, Rare Earth, Gene, and Alien.

Looking at the Galactic Directory I have, I’ve figured out where I can pick up goods, and where I can sell different types of goods.

Possible Pick Up Locations

Regulations and taxes mean I won’t be able to leave any of these places having picked up more than one good.

  • Alien Burial Site
  • Alien Data Repository
  • Alien Guardian
  • Alien Monolith
  • Alien Robotic Factory
  • Artist Colony
  • Avian Uplift Race
  • Deserted Alien Colony
  • Deserted Alien Library
  • Galactic Resort
  • Gem World
  • Gene Designers
  • Hive World
  • Lifeforms Inc.
  • Lost Alien Warship
  • New Earth
  • Plague World
  • Reptilian Uplift Race
  • Secluded World
  • Spice World
  • Uplift Gene Breeders
  • Volcanic World

Possible Sell Locations

The way the market is right now, I can probably sell the shown maximum at the following locations.

Alien Research Team
One Alien
Consumer Markets
Three Novelty
Galactic Exchange
One of each type of good.
Galactic Resort
One good
Galactic Trendsetters
One good
Gambling World
One good
Gene Designers
Three Gene
Mining League
Two Rare Earth
For some reason, they won’t buy only one.
New Earth
One good
Old Earth
Two goods
Pilgrimage World
They’ll take anything.
Plague World
One Gene
Secluded World
One good
Tourist World
Two goods
For some reason, they won’t buy only one.

Note to self: Sell oldest stuff first. Make sure nothing goes bad or stops being relevant.

Hey, I was finishing up packing and I found this. Do you think it's important?

Sorry I'm leaving while you’re stuck working at the Terraforming Guild. I know you're only a day away, but I can't stick around.

12/5/20XX

And you said this Alien Robotic Factory wouldn't work out! The robotics production line is up and running!

12/6/20XX

Met up with a friend. He's a Contact Specialist. Says he has some work for me.

12/7/20XX

Friend and I are getting drinks at the Rebel Cantina. He says he can get me in to see some of the rebels.

12/8/20XX

These guys are negotiating a Rebel Pact. Want us to come back in a day or two. Won't be home for a while!

12/9/20XX

Visited the Artist Colony while we're waiting for the Rebels to finish.

Got a cool painting!

12/10/20XX

Accidentally went to visit the Reptilian Uplift Race. Didn't mean to, but I guess I can pick up some stuff while I'm here.

Remind me not to continue to Old Earth. No one goes there anymore.

12/15/20XX

Sorry for the radio silence! I took a nearly complete tour around the Alien Booby Trap.

I totally forgot about the rebels! I need to get back there. I'm gonna take the shortest path I can to get back that doesn't take me through that trap.

BUT NOT THROUGH NEW SPARTA. I'm not that reckless!

12/20/20XX

Geez, they only just finished negotiations of this Rebel Pact!

I gotta admit, it's really cheeky of them to do these negotiations next to the New Galactic Order.

I mean, New Sparta isn't setting that up for nothing, you know?

12/21/20XX

Looks we're celebrating this new Rebel Alliance now.

Managed to swipe this. Don't show anyone!

12/22/20XX

Oooo. Look at those Improved Logistics!

The foreman tells me it's for the neighboring Robotic Factory. I'm really excited about that!

12/23/20XX

Found the edge of the galaxy!

Turning left, because the Secluded World is to the right, and they are very much not friendly.

12/24/20XX

Ah. New Earth. Much better than the Old Earth.

Was going to go to the Consumer Markets right next to here, but a friend just called me about a new investment opportunity. I'll be visiting him first.

12/26/20XX

Visiting that friend I mentioned. He's been working with his Alien Research Team.

Oh man, this opportunity looks amazing! I'm super excited about this!

12/28/20XX

Ew. Don't know why I'm here at the Plague World. Remind me to sanitize my ship later

Saw some Drop Ships when I came from galactic north.

I think I saw a Colony Ship even farther g-north?

Probably came from the planet even further in that direction. What was it again? The Spice World?

12/29/20XX

THE SHIP IS CLEAN!!!!!!!!! Facilities at the Consumer Markets are expensive, but this was totally worth it.

12/30/20XX

At the Mining League. Couldn't sell all of my junk yesterday, but these guys were interested in some more stuff I had.

12/31/20XX

I'm glad I'm in the robotics business. These Replicant Robots are pretty sweet!

You know, the only other kind of robots I've seen have been Mining Robots. And they seem to be only on the same galactic row as home.

1/1/20XY

WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY EXPORT DUTIES? I'm working with these people for galaxy's sake!

1/2/20XY

Visiting one of the rebel factions at the Rebel Homeworld. There's apparently a trading outpost near here. I'm gonna go see if they're interested in buying.

1/3/20XY

WHAT ARE IMPERIUM TROOPS DOING HERE?!?!

1/5/20XY

People at this Trading Outpost aren't buying. Disappointed.

1/7/20XY

AND NOW THERE'S AN IMPERIUM INVASION FLEET! I'M LEAVING THIS SECTOR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

1/8/20XY

Made it back to the Rebel Homeworld safely.

So between what the Rebels here already knew about this sector and my discoveries, we cobbled together this map.

They just told me about a Hidden Fortress they know of. The instructions they gave me were very specific: travel one day g-north, then turn right, left, left again, then right, and you'll find the fortress.

1/11/20XY

Just passed a Colony Ship. Dunno what they're doing all the way out here.

1/13/20XY

According to the directions the Rebels gave me, the Hidden Fortress should be right here. I don't see it though. I'm gonna keep looking.

1/15/20XY

Oh man, I found the Hidden Fortress! I flew right by it the first time!

Accidentally found the Hive World yesterday instead of finding the fortress. Barely got back here alive. Gonna sit here overnight till I stop shaking.

1/16/20XY

Oh man, you remember me talking about this Alien Monolith? Well, it's even more beautiful in person.

I took a picture for you!

1/17/20XY

Hey! Met up with a friend here at Galactic Engineering for lunch.

He's still excited about all those minerals they're getting from the neighboring Volcanic World.

1/18/20XY

WHAT IS WITH THESE EXPORT DUTIES?!

1/21/20XY

Not sure why, but I ended up spending the night at this Rebel Outpost. These guys seem really disorganized.

1/22/20XY

Hey, remember yesterday when I said they seemed disorganized? THEY JUST AMBUSHED ME! We're all sorted out now, but this is just ridiculous. What, are they trying to practice Rebel Sneak Attack tactics on me?

1/23/20XY

Hey, didn't you want something from Lifeforms Inc.? I'm actually at the Genetics Lab right now, not the offices. Just trying to remember.

1/24/20XY

This Expedition Force my friend from the ART sent me to talk to is quite alright. Definitely know what they're doing. We're gonna survey these places. Talk to you in a few days!

1/27/20XY

Really enjoying what I've seen here, especially this Deserted Alien Colony.

Yup. This is gonna pay off really nicely. Surveyed everything on the map.

1/31/20XY

Finally made it to the Pilgrimage World. Not that I'm religious or anything, but I feel it's a place everyone should visit at least once, you know?

2/2/20XY

Hmmm. Should I tell these Imperium Troops I'm working with the Rebels? How about "I'm not that into getting arrested?"

Looks like there's some Drop Ships up ahead. I'm gonna do what I can to avoid them.

2/4/20XY

They're building this ridiculous thing... I think they're calling it an Imperium Planet Buster?

2/7/20XY

You know, I think seeing the Galactic Imperium is enough. I don't need to visit the throne.

2/9/20XY

Did you know these guys are developing Imperium Cloaking Technology? Well, you do now.

2/10/20XY

If anyone asks, no, I didn't steal any plans to the Imperium Planet Buster.

2/11/20XY

Got out of Imperium space with some valuable intelligence thanks to some Rebel Freedom Fighters.

I think I'm gonna take a break, get some stuff in the merchant district, and then meet up again with the Rebels.

2/13/20XY

Whoa... ever consider getting a job with the Alien Tech Institute?

Oh, now this is cool!

2/14/20XY

Huh. This Avian Uplift Race is really friendly.

They also provide an Uplift Mercenary Force for the district. I think they're training nearby.

2/15/20XY

There's so much cool information in this Deserted Alien Library!

Galactic Survey: SETI is set up near here. I should probably get a friend on that team. What do you think?

2/16/20XY

I'd love to stay and relax at this Galactic Resort, but there's just too much stuff to do!

You know, it may just be a branch of the Interstellar Bank, but it's one of the most beautiful things you can see from here. And that's saying something!

Oh yeah. Forgot I picked this up a while ago. Have a postcard.

2/21/20XY

Meeting with the some people in the Rebel Underground.

I gave them the intelligence I acquired on Imperium space.

2/22/20XY

We're moving to make that attack. Just gotta avoid these Space Marines first.

2/25/20XY

Yeah, I'm not sticking around for the Rebel Sneak Attack to start. Hope I can get home soon.

2/26/20XY

WOULD YOU TELL THIS IMPERIUM WARLORD TO STOP CHASING ME?!

NO MORE TIME TO TALK. I'M MAKING A STRAIGHT SHOT TO THE BLACK HOLES.

3/2/20XY

Hopefully these Black Hole MIners don't mind that I'm dodging through their territory…

Whew. I lost the warlord. This old ship handles those black holes really well.

3/3/20XY

Met up with another Expedition Force.

This one was looking to explore past this corner of the galaxy. You know, into this whole lot of nothing?

3/5/20XY

Finally met up with the Contact Specialist again. Not in the same place, of course. He's gotta cover his tracks!

He says he can get me into the Galactic Exchange that's a day out from here. I'm gonna take him up on that, considering that's what I wanted to do in the first place!

Oh yeah, now that the Imperium is sorta kinda after me, my contact needs to do some extra work to get me into the GE safely. It's only two days travel from the Seat and the Warlord, after all.

3/7/20XY

Alright. Gonna have to sneak past these Space Marines that are (probably) still looking for me to get home.

3/8/20XY

So that Imperium Cloaking Tech? Works great. Didn't see them approach. Running now!

3/9/20XY

Sorry! Can't visit you while I'm here at the Terraforming Guild! Gotta keep moving!

Can't fly home, either. Gotta lose them first!

3/12/20XY

Ha! Maybe these Black Hole Miners can salvage some of those poor ships!

This ship handles these black holes even better than the old one did!

3/13/20XY

Making a deposit of all my hard-earned money from this trip at the Interstellar Bank!

Won't be gambling this away. Can't show my face at the Gambling World anyway, with it being right next to the Seat and all.

3/14/20XY

Ah. Home sweet Galactic Trendsetters. Want to go out for drinks later?

Oh, don't be surprised by the new ship. Got it from the Separatist Colony only time I was there. Haven't had time to repaint it yet.

What an adventure! Only revisited a place nine times (home doesn’t count), and never visited the same spot more than twice!

Well, now I can say I've been nearly everywhere in the galaxy!
