Rival initiatives to arrange a diplomatic conference have been launched by Sirius Corporation and the Utopia commune.

The Alliance Assembly, Federal Congress and Imperial Senate have each provisionally agreed to send delegates to the first tri-superpower Galactic Summit. This political gathering will also be attended by representatives from independent systems.

All parties have specified that their participation depends upon the event being successfully organised in neutral territory, and with sufficient resources and security in place.

Sirius Corporation and Utopia have begun to gather supplies to host the conference. Both have requested assistance from the galactic community to provide data for their security services.

Simguru Pranav Antal has called upon all pilots who support Utopia's proposal to deliver Anomalous Bulk Scan Data, Atypical Disrupted Wake Echoes, Exceptional Scrambled Emission Data and Unusual Encrypted Files to Tanner Settlement in the Polevnic system.

The initiative begins on the 21st of January 3307 and will run for one week. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately. Should both initiatives be completed to the same tier, the one with the highest contribution will be designated the victor.

The Marlinist Colonies have requested assistance to feed their population.

Eight systems were colonised by the Sirius Corporation to act as permanent reservations for the political refugees. Millions of Marlinists have now relocated to these settlements, thereby reducing tension between the Empire and the Federation.

The newly formed Marlinist factions are holding democratic elections to select their leaders. However, the transitional parliament has declared an emergency due to the shortage of food stocks.

Pilots are asked to deliver animal meat, fish, fruit and vegetables, and grain to Stillman Hub in the HIP 22550 system.

Each tier reached will increase the level of discount on the purchase prices of a broad range of commodities sold at Marlinist Colonies markets. This will last for a two-week period starting on the 22nd of January 3307, helping to improve trade links and boost commerce.

The % values are as follows: Tier 1 up to 5% reduction Tier 2 up to 10% reduction Tier 3 up to 15% reduction Tier 4 up to 20% reduction Tier 5 up to 30% reduction

If successful, the Free Marlinists of Carinae in conjunction with other Marlinist factions will give the top 75% of pilots a fully engineered, focused and lightweight point defence module. The module will be placed in storage at Stillman Hub in the HIP 22550 system by the 23rd of January 3307.

The Free Marlinists of Carinae anticipate that there will be disruptive attacks from pirates and anti-Marlinism activists, and has offered bounties on all wanted ships which should be handed in at Stillman Hub in the HIP 22550 system.

The Holloway Bioscience Institute in Colonia is offering high payouts for delivering samples from space-dwelling lifeforms. Jaques Station, which is also in the Colonia system, has agreed to serve as the delivery point for this initiative.

Chief researcher Dr Roy Casimir outlined the requirements:

"There is still a huge amount to learn about the fascinating structures that grow within the vacuum of space. As our stock of specimens is running low, we require fresh tissue samples from living organisms to continue our experimentation programme."

Pilots are requested to deliver Pod Core Tissue, Pod Dead Tissue, Pod Mesoglea, Pod Outer Tissue, Pod Surface Tissue, Pod Shell Tissue or Pod Tissue to Jaques Station in the Colonia system.

If successful, decals will be rewarded to the top 75% of participants by the 15th of January 3307.

Each successful tier will provide the Holloway Bioscience Institute with enough material and data to establish one experimental habitat for space-dwelling lifeforms in a nearby system, enabling it to further its studies.

The initiative begins on the 7th of January 3307 and will run for one week. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.

Commodities are requested to create new settlements for Marlinist refugees who fled from the Empire to the Federation.

Sirius Corporation has offered to resolve the current standoff between superpowers by establishing colonies where the refugees can live independently.

Li Yong-Rui, CEO of Sirius Corporation, summarised his proposal:

"It is clear that the Marlinists cannot return to the Empire, and are a destabilising presence within the Federation. We offer an alternative by constructing permanent habitats for their population. These will be self-governed and may freely trade with the galactic community."

"Sirius cannot stand by while the risk of interstellar war increases. I sincerely hope this leads to a more stable and profitable period for us all."

Traders are asked to deliver Atmospheric Processors, Auto-Fabricators, Structural Regulators and Water Purifiers to Ellis Gateway in the Bd+05 1146 system. From there, the Omega Merchant Command will distribute resources for the colonisation of up to ten uninhabited systems which will be ready in early 3307.

Each completed tier will provide the resources to populate two systems, listed in order of priority:

HIP 22550 and Hyades Sector RO-P b6-6. LP 659-31 and Hyades Sector LX-T c3-30. Hyades Sector SU-C a14-1 and Hyades Sector RO-P b6-2. Hyades Sector VP-N b7-4 and Hyades Sector AB-M b8-2. Hyades Sector YA-M b8-1 and Hyades Sector TJ-P b6-6.

The initiative begins on the 10th of December 3306 and will run for one week. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.
