The Captain’s Little Black Book

The log of the ship has been a time honored tradition since the royal navies of old Earth. When we reached the stars so many things became digital, intangible. Paper was a novelty, an antique. It was expensive to buy blank paper but every captain does it. They spend usually over a thousand credits for each real leather back book. With that kind of money they could fuel the ship to run from the core worlds to the outer colonies. Still every ship’s captain from the flagship of the Royal fleet to the lowliest garbage tugs make the investment. Sure others have tried to do away with this tradition and many commercial fleets require a digital submission; however, the first and often best account will always go in that leather book.

The CLBB series is designed to give a look into the lives of a ship’s crew through the eyes of the captain. These stories take place at times when the crew is under great stress and the ship is in a dire situation. Many ships are used to tell these stories and the number of times a ship is written about can vary.

The formatting for stories will be as follows:
