From the moment I decided to explore the colonization system in Elite: Dangerous I knew I wanted to give my system a sci-fi theme. The naming system for stations, outposts and settlements allowed it, but when INARA linked the names chosen to Galpedia and Wikipedia, I discovered not everything was as I intended. So here is the eBook that sets things straight.

After finishing one eBook covering the Distant Legacy expedition I said to myself that the journey, which took us to some of the most fantastic places in the space simulation, could probably be shared with others, using some of the key images from the original eBook. That's how A Sense of Wonder took shape.

The fleet carrier FOB Vindaloovia was scheduled to make two trips to EHAM, as a resupply vessel, so I took my Sidewinder and a suitcase - nothing more needed or allowed on board for this trip - and used the opportunity to explore the area in Elite:Dangerous Odyssey.

After a series on Guardians and their Ancient Sites, it’s time to look at nebulas (or nebulae, if you prefer), starting at the Galactic Centre. Some of these nebulae belong to a very special and restrict group present in the core of the galaxy: they have not formed any stars, so they can only be seen from the planets and systems around them. It’s clearly an unusual situation, making it a...

Exobiologists should have one Sidewinder, the only ship that lands on a space the size of a handkerchief. The little Sidewinder is, in fact, more than a useful all-rounder, it is fast and fun… and the most ecological.

What do my departed calico cat, Yellow, the space sim Elite: Dangerous and comic books have in common? Well, I used the game to create a comic book style story in memory of Yellow, sharing a story that mixes real life feelings and the fiction of a videogame. It's another way to perpetuate the memory of a cat that was my Elite: Dangerous "copawlot" for seven years. Enjoy it!

Six months after my calico cat Yellow died, I landed on a yellow planet and found the place so fascinating I wanted to create a comic-style eBook about it. My DBX and Scarab, all painted in yellow - you know why - fit like a glove there and the whole place asked to be the background for a story... which was not hard to find!
The brain trees that were the reason for this visit have been...
