What lies at the very edge of the known galaxy? As of this past week, a select group of very dedicated Elite: Dangerous players know the answer.
Back in January, thousands of pilots kitted out their ships and banded together to go on the Distant Worlds 2 expedition. This community convoy aimed to traverse 65,000 light years from earth to Beagle Point, the furthest spot from known civilization. After accidentally crashing the servers, the 14,000-strong expedition blasted off on an anticipated 20-week voyage across the Milky Way.
That was January. Now in June 2019, the expedition has successfully reached its goal. Frontier trumpeted the accomplishment: “The Distant Worlds 2 expedition has officially come to a close, with roughly 4,000 Commanders reaching Beagle Point! Congratulations to all the organisers, volunteers and Commanders who helped bring about this monumental event!”
