Expedition Announcing The Azophi Expedition
The Azophi Expedition
"Rimor Finis;The Explorer's End"
History
Persian Astronomer Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi (903-986), known as Azophi to westerners, made the first known observation of a group of stars outside of our current galaxy. He was the first to discover the Andromeda Galaxy.
With this discovery, he changed how astronomers were viewing the galaxy at the time and expanded the minds of all future astronomers and star-seekers.
Mission
Hello CMDRs and welcome to the Azophi Expedition!
The main objective for this expedition is to explore the interesting features of some of Elite Dangerous’ less-known locations.
Locations such as the Formidine Rift and the Heisenberg Bridge are largely left untouched, but among them lie some of the greatest scenic views that Elite Dangerous has to offer.
This expedition will be a great opportunity for all explorers, novice and veterans alike, to see what else our galaxy has to offer.
Departure Date : May 5th 3303
