DESCRIPTION

On May 23, 3301, CMDR Kelly Eldridge, who had been exploring deep in the black, took the following photo of what she described as "the strangest gas giant I've seen so far.".

The previously only known photo of this body; circa 3301.

She would continue to finish her expedition, however, she vanished soon after she returned to inhabited space. Unfortunately, at the time she didn't realized the significance of her discovery, and she didn't note down which system she found it in. With CMDR Kelly Eldridge's disappearance, the only clues that remained were the single picture she took, and a short diary she kept of her expedition.

People would soon go on to discover more of the rare and elusive green gas giants, but the location of where the first one was discovered was lost. Many efforts were done to rediscover this body, but all of them were met with failure.

Seven years later, The Independent Explorers Association (IEA), a dedicated group of explorers, launched the At the Eldritch Gate expedition inviting anyone adventurous enough to join the quest to recover this piece of lost history.

Independent explorers in conjunction with multiple participating organizations scoured the galaxy looking for the exact places where CMDR Kelly Eldridge might have travelled, based on the entries in her diary, and used the positions of stars and dust clouds on her photo to finally rediscover the lost green gas giant. This led to a search that not only uncovered more details about what Kelly Eldridge did, but also changed the entire region of the expedition in which CMDRs found the traces of the route of CMDR Kelly Eldridge, investigation took many turns.

A month later, these investigations bore fruit, when in the evening of 08/16/3308 CMDR Orange! rediscovered the planet in the Shaulai DL-P d5-274 system:

The discovery was a motive of celebration across the galaxy, as it stood as a testament that if explorers get together for a common goal, even one which might be impossible, it will eventually get found.

For more details on how exactly the discovery was made, please see CMDR Orange!'s detailed account.
