It wasn't a bad list. Figure each leg of the trip takes about 2 weeks and you were looking at just over a year all told to make a trading run through the area. Near the end it went a little further Spinward than he would've bothered with, but obviously it was part of Imperial Intelligence's effort to patrol the fringes. Although they were backing this effort, the Imperials weren't subsidizing this ship in the traditional sense. Pulling a profit was always going to be a bit tricky, but especially so on those final runs. The backers wanted their ship back so they'd probably cover losses, but he'd certainly be out on his ass if that happened.
