This is a Key to understand the Patrol Locations Column of the Mission Log.

Locations are always in brackets to separate them from each other.

ex. [Sol] or [Alpha Centauri]

Star Names will normally be first (see the exception below). If a location is in Interstellar Space or Dark Space it should be listed as Dark Space instead of the star name.

ex. Sol or Dark Space

Planets, Planetoids and Asteroids follow the star name and are separated by a colon.

example Sol: Earth or Sol: Pluto or Sol: Ceres

Moons are placed in front of the object they orbit and are separated by a semicolon.

ex Sol: Luna; Earth or Sol: Callisto; Jupiter

Cites are placed in front of the object they are on and separated by a comma.

ex Los Angeles, Earth or Alien City, Alien Moon; Alien Planet

An Outpost or Base on an object should be placed in Parenthesis and treated like a city.

ex (Mars Base), Mars or (Luna outpost), Luna; Earth

An orbiting Space Station should be in italics and treated like a city. A space station orbiting a Star should be in italics and treated like a planet.

ex. Earth base, Earth or Callisto Outpost, Calilisto; Jupiter or Alpha Centauri Dry Dock 

If a Patrol occurs to another Dimension, Hyper-Space and or an Alternate Universe then it should be listed First followed by a semicolon then the Star Name or equivalent sized object. This is the only time something should precede a Star name in the Patrol Location. These Entries should be in bold. Normal Travel in Hyperspace should not be included, only if there was some kind of encounter. No notation should be made if it occurs in the Earth Republic prime universe.

ex [Hyperspace; Dark Space] or [Empire of Sol; Sol] or [Dimension X, Sol]

Putting it all together.

A group starts in the city of Singapore on Earth then takes a shuttle to Earth Space Station. Next they head to Luna base on the moon. Then they make a hyperspace jump to Ceres base on Ceres. From there they make a Hyperspace Jump to Alpha Centauri but encounter a hyperspace bee colony 1/2 way there. After they finish their encounter with the bees they drop into regular space in Dark space to perform repairs. Finally the finish their travel to Alpha Centauri Star base orbiting Alpha Centauri.

Here is what it should look like.

[Sol: Singapore, Earth] [Sol: Earth Station, Earth] [Sol: (Luna Base),Luna;Earth] [Sol: (Ceres Base), Ceres] [Hyperspace; Dark Space: Hyperspace Bee Colony] [Darkspace] [Alpha Centauri: Alpha Centauri Base]
