Galactic News: Body Found at Wreaken Construction Site

An unidentified individual has been found dead at a Wreaken Construction site in the COL 70 sector. The body was disfigured as a result of radiation exposure, and identification has so far not been possible. System authorities are conducting an investigation.

A representative of Wreaken Construction responded to the discovery with a statement:

"There have been several incidents of individuals trying to break into our facilities. This is an unfortunate event, but frankly the victim brought this accident on themselves. Our facilities are secured for a reason – manufacturing is a dangerous business."

Meanwhile, independent pilots have reported that Wreaken Construction sites are heavily guarded, and that approaching ships have been aggressively warned away by Wreaken-owned vessels.

Galactic News: Weekly Conflict Report

This report presents the latest data on conflict among the galaxy's minor factions.

Here are the latest factions to experience a civil war:

League of Villae

Ruchbah Industry

Wolf 359 Blue Travel Commodities

Union of Wolf 359 Labour

LHS 3479 Interstellar

Natural Toolfa Nationalists

Luyten 674-15 Industries

United Chimba League

Allied Ualapalor League

Liaedin Electronics PLC

Civil wars occur when minor factions compete for control of major assets such as starports. When a faction is involved in a civil war, the standard of living, development level and security level in the system it controls are temporarily reduced. Combat activities can bring a civil war to an end.

Here are the latest factions to experience war:

Colanja Gold Power Services

G 41-14 Purple Travel Solutions

Kokary Holdings

Limapa Blue State Commodities

Zelano Systems

Kokary Liberals

Coquim Industry

Chamunda Crimson Gang

GCRV 4654 State Interstellar

Ololos Drug Empire

Wars occur when a minor faction invades a star system controlled by another minor faction. For the duration of the war, the standard of living, wealth level and security level in the disputed system are reduced. Combat activity between the two warring factions determines the outcome of the conflict. If neither faction succeeds in dominating the other, the war ends in a ceasefire.

Community Goal: Alliance Appeals for Help

The Alliance Council of Admirals has announced that an Alliance convoy has been attacked in the Fedmich system.

According to a statement, the convoy was transporting personnel and military equipment to a secure Alliance outpost. It is understood the attack was executed by criminals operating in Fedmich.

Most personnel were safely evacuated, but many of the ships comprising the convoy had to be abandoned. Furthermore, a number of occupied escape pods remain among the wreckage.

A spokesperson for the Council of Admirals released a statement:

"It is imperative that all personnel and material carried by this convoy be recovered as soon as possible."

"To that end, we have authorised Fedmich Electronics Partners to coordinate a rescue operation, and will gladly reward those who deliver occupied escape pods and wreckage components to Roberts Port in the Fedmich system. Combat pilots are also needed to neutralise agitators operating in Fedmich and thus ensure the safety of those recovering material from the convoy."

The operation begins on the 26th of January 3303 and will run for one week. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.

Galactic News: Starport Status Update

The recent Sirius Corporation campaign to protect starports from Unknown Artefact-related interference is already bearing fruit.

Using material donated by the galactic community, Sirius Corporation scientists have dramatically increased the efficiency of meta-alloy application, thereby restoring many of the starports affected by Unknown Artefact-related disruption.

The corporation's researchers have confirmed that far fewer meta-alloys are now needed to counter Unknown Artefact-related disruption and repair malfunctioning starports.

As the lists below indicate, the number of affected starports has already been reduced, and it is hoped that these lists will only shorten as the weeks go on.

At the time of writing, the following starports remain closed.

Birkhoff Station, Chnemine

Descartes Station, Neche

Dogmaa, Wolfberg

Frick Base, Naurung

Haisheng Orbital, HR 8474

Phillips Terminal, CD-72 190

Roentgen Hub, LFT 37

Tall Enterprise, Ngalia

Tarelkin Dock, LP 462-19

The following starports continue to experience technical issues:

Amnuel Dock, Kwiamoni

Frick Base, Naurung

Hillary Silo, HR 8474

Hinz Hub, Ngobe

i Sola Prospect, Brestla

Melvin Hub, GD 1192

Priest Survey, HIP 19147

Galactic News: Ram Tah Discovers New Sites

Following his recent appeal for data from the Synuefe ruins, engineer Ram Tah has released a statement:

"Using the data contributed by the galactic community, I have succeeded in accessing the monolith network. But although I have detected a number of further Guardian sites – which is very exciting – I have not been able to divine their precise locations. All I have been able to do is narrow the field to a handful of systems – specifically Synuefe ZL-J d10-119, Synuefe XO-P c22-17, IC 2391 Sector ZE-A d101 and IC 2391 Sector GW-V b2-4."

"Locating these sites is of central importance to our ongoing research, which is why I am encouraging the galactic community to explore these systems. Together, we can further our understanding of this fascinating race."

Galactic News: Weekly Security Report

This report presents the latest data on the security status of the galaxy's minor factions.

Here are the latest factions to experience a lockdown:

Brotherhood of LP 98-132

Ngaliba Blue Camorra

Lords of Ngaliba

Laedla and Co

Bhotho Rats

LP 811-17 Gold Energy Partners

Attach Federal and Co

Nationalists of Aulin

Aulin Focus

Rajgonta for Equality

When a faction experiences a lockdown, the security rating of the system it controls temporarily increases and the system's wealth temporarily decreases. Bounty hunting activity can shorten the lockdown period.

Here are the latest factions to experience civil unrest:

Wolf 359 Blue Travel Commodities

Potriti Gold Mafia

Kokary Holdings

Alpha Centauri Gold Brotherhood

Xihe Purple Brothers

Ross 490 Mafia

Oho Bajo Public Holdings

Independents of LHS 3262

New CD-61 6801 Flag

Green Party of Lung

Civil unrest is the result of illegal activity. When a faction is affected by civil unrest, the standard of living in the system it controls temporarily decreases, as does the system's wealth. Combat missions and activities can bring civil unrest to an end.

Galactic News: Data Appeal Concludes

Engineer Ram Tah has announced that his appeal for data from the Synuefe ruins has been enthusiastically received by the galactic community. Hundreds of independent pilots responded to the appeal, resulting in a massive influx of deliveries to Felice Dock, the campaign's centre of operations.

As the campaign drew to a close, Ram Tah released a brief statement.

"I am hugely grateful to the galactic community for its support. It is my hope that this data will allow us to unlock the monolith network and discover further Guardian sites."

Pilots who contributed to the initiative can now collect their rewards from Felice Dock in the Meene system.
