  • Community Goal: People’s Rakapila Progressive Party Issues Request

    Following a population spike in Rakapila, the People’s Rakapila Progressive Party has issued a request for commodities in order to stimulate the system’s economy.

    The organisation has placed an open order for domestic appliances, consumer technology and clothing, and has promised to reward pilots who deliver these commodities to Stone Enterprise in the Rakapila system. The organisation has also placed a kill order on all ships on its wanted list, to ensure that those delivering material to Stone Enterprise can do so safely.

    The campaign begins on the 29th of July 3303 and will run for one week. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.

  • Community Goal: A Safe Haven

    A spokesperson for the Pilots Federation has announced a new peacekeeping initiative centred on the LHS 3447, Eravate and Asellus Primus systems. The purpose of the initiative is to minimise criminal activity in these regions and thereby ensure the safety of inexperienced pilots.

    The spokesperson elaborated on the nature of the campaign:

    “Many of the galaxy’s independent pilots start their careers in these systems, and we believe they should be able operate without fear of being targeted by opportunistic aggressors.”

    “Of course, pilots will not be the only beneficiaries of this initiative – the people of LHS 3447, Eravate and Asellus Primus will also benefit from the increase in security.”

    Authorities in the pertinent systems have responded positively to the proposal, with Governor Mandelbaum, administrator of Cleve Hub, describing it as “a boon to our people”. They have also expressed hope that the success of the initiative will allow peacekeeping forces to maintain order once the campaign is over.

    The Pilots Federation has called on the galaxy’s independent combat pilots for support, and has authorised Adle’s Armada, LHS 3447 Dynamic and Co, and Asellus Primus Gold Legal Ind. to reward those who support the initiative.

    The campaign begins on the 29th of July 3303 and will run for one week. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.

    The Junkyard Dogs have extended their gratitude to those who supported the campaign.

    Pilots who contributed to the initiative can now collect their rewards from Tolagarf's Junkyard in the Eol Prou Lw-L C8-215 system.

  • Galactic News: Thargoid Structures Discovered

    As the galaxy reels from the revelation that the Thargoids have returned to human space, reports have been received that a number of independent pilots have discovered huge Thargoid structures in the Pleiades Sector OS-U c2-7, Col 285 Sector CV-Y d57, Aries Dark Region DB-X d1-63, HIP 19026, and HIP 14909 systems.

    Initial reports indicate that the structures are many hundreds of metres in diameter, and consist of a number of organic-shaped elements surrounding a central edifice. There is a clear visual relationship between the structures and the Thargoid vessels sighted in the Pleiades star cluster.

    Even more remarkable are reports that the structures encompass large subsurface complexes, accessed via the central edifice. Drone-like machines have also been seen roving the sites.

    Professor Ishmael Palin, who played a central role in identifying the so-called Unknown Ships as Thargoid, commented on the discovery:

    “This is a remarkable development, and one that raises many questions. What is the purpose of these structures? Are there others out there? And what about the drones? Are they being controlled remotely, or are they autonomous?”

    “With each new discovery, we revise our perception of humanity and its place within the cosmos.”

  • 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:

    Ngaliba Blue Camorra

    Potriti Gold Mafia

    Bhotho Rats

    Independents of Tau Ceti

    Green Party of Lung

    Baraswar Crimson Vision Ltd

    Keries Camorra

    Atroco Industry

    Quince Jet Family

    Jaaka Independents

    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:

    Green Party of LFT 926

    Independents of LHS 3262

    Quaaybuwala Empire League

    Silver Creative Network

    Ither Purple Brotherhood

    Quince Creative Holdings

    LDS 413 Partners

    Rugabugait Shared

    HIP 43880 Gold Dynamic Inc

    La Te Ti Purple Electronics Corp

    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: Weekly Economic Report

    This report presents the latest data on the economic health of the galaxy’s minor factions.

    Here are the latest factions to experience an economic boom:

    Social Zaragas Independents

    G 41-14 Purple Travel Solutions

    Kokary Holdings

    Zeessze Clan

    Cemiess Commodities

    Labour of Ethgreze

    Eravate Network

    Brotherhood of LP 98-132

    Liberty Party of Zeessze

    Panoi Holdings

    Boom is usually the result of consistent trade profit and completed trade contracts. When a faction experiences a boom, the wealth of the system it controls temporarily increases and trade missions completed in the system have double the effect on influence. The faction’s influence may also increase. Booms typically last until they naturally expire.

    Here are the latest factions to experience an economic bust:

    Nang Ta-khian Public Co

    Lambda Hydri Jet Clan

    League of 36 Ursae Majoris

    Caraswang Gold Public Inc

    Democrats of Masans

    Leaders of Santal

    Values Party of Orishpucho

    Orishpucho Crimson Legal Int

    Neginn Crimson Travel Network

    Social HIP 86063 Free

    When a faction experiences a bust, the wealth of the system it controls is temporarily reduced and the faction’s influence is temporarily diminished. Trade actions do not contribute to boom while a bust is active. A bust typically has to run its course before ending.

  • Galactic News: Colonia Population Boom

    The latest census data from Colonia indicates that the system has seen a massive influx of immigrants in recent weeks. Although precise details have not been made public, it is understood that many of the region’s new citizens are from the core systems.

    The spike follows the introduction of a migration subsidy from the Colonia Council, which has made it much cheaper for potential immigrants to reach Colonia. Sources close to the Council have confirmed that the move was designed to stimulate economic growth by attracting skilled workers to the region.

    The Colonia colony was founded almost a year ago, and since then it has expanded rapidly. For some, it represents an alternative to the violence and political disharmony they believe has come to characterise life in the core systems.

    Social and political experts have predicted that as long as the Federal-Imperial conflict persists, the Colonia community will continue to grow.

  • Galactic News: Weekly Expansion Report

    This report presents the latest data on expansion and withdrawal among the galaxy's minor factions.

    Here are the latest factions to have expanded into new systems:

    Alliance of Yemakinni

    Hraean United

    Selkit Crimson Raiders

    Socho Gold Raiders

    Hel Purple Energy Industry

    Kokara Galactic Exchange

    Gold General Corp.

    Sirius Hot2Cold

    Tujing Empire Party

    Values Party of Belis

    Expansions occur when a minor faction reaches a sufficient level of influence and there is a populated system within striking distance. Expansion is costly, so when a faction expands, the wealth and development level of the system it controls are temporarily reduced.

    Here are the latest factions in withdrawal:

    HIP 73428 Exchange

    Independents of Mildeptu

    Alioth Pro-Alliance Group

    BD+07 4267 Gold General PLC

    Yenistani Guardians of Tradition

    Sui Xenates Indie Union

    Dinde Systems

    Briganu Confederacy

    Begovans Industry

    Mabe Company

    Factions are considered to be in withdrawal if their level of influence within a system drops below a certain level. If the faction's influence remains low for a total of five days, the faction must leave the system entirely. If the faction manages to increase its level of influence, it remains in the system.
