Cursed expedition...

[AbyssMath]

alright, so, while flying i found a relic gate and went through it, it brought me back to the starting system and i can't seem to find a way to get back to the system i was before, the one with the infested planet..So, did i screw myself out of completing the expedition because of bad design or is there a way to go back that i haven't found yet?? i bought NMS just for this expedition, and actually enjoy it, i really hope that bad design won't spoil the fun i had until now!

The Beyond the Boundary milestone in Phase 1 of the expedition rewarded you with 16 "glyphs". Those can be used to activate a portal the "normal" way, which involves inputting the glyph sequence for the planet you want to travel to. This kind of travel can take you to any planet in any system within your current galaxy.

Because you have already been to the system you wish to return to, you can find the glyph address for it by going into your Discoveries and adding the planet to your Wonders. THen view your wonders and the glyph sequence for that planet will show in the mouseover tooltip.

Memorize it (or write it down) and then return to a portal in the system you are in, fix the portal, and then input those glyphs (in the order which they showed in your wonders). The newly activated portal will then take you to that desired planet.

Adding to what Jaggid Edje said,
If you visited the space station in the system you're trying to return to, then use a teleporter to get back there...
I always visit space stations before leaving a system, and if it's an uninhabited system (no station) that I know I'll want to return to, I build a base so I can teleport to it

There is no space station in that system, so if you haven't built a base, use the portal to return.

The location of the portal is limited to this expedition, but you can discover it by creating and drinking a elixir of silver.

This is probably the address you should enter.

There's no space station in the system he specified. If there were I would have given that as my first answers. ;)

Yeah, I had a feeling that was the case, but I couldn't remember for certain as I rushed through that expo (I was travelling)
I just thought it was worth mentioning that bases function as teleport locations even without a teleporter built there, and are worth building if there is no Space Station (assuming you want to get back there)
