  • Galactic News: Reports Surface of Mysterious Attacks

    Reports have surfaced of mysterious attacks in the Maia system, where eyewitnesses claim to have found the remains of a number of Federal vessels.

    According to reports, the damage to the ships’ hulls was not consistent with any known form of weaponry. Furthermore, several observers claim to have seen the so-called unknown ships at the wreckage sites. Attempts to intercept the ships were unsuccessful.

    Chief of Federal Security Admiral Aden Tanner, who is understood to be investigating the mysterious ships, addressed the reports:

    “These claims are certainly troubling, but I would remind you their veracity has not yet been verified, and I would urge the public to remain calm. Rest assured that we are investigating the matter.”

  • 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:

    Ruchbah Industry

    Wolf 359 Blue Travel Commodities

    Delphin Blue Federal PLC

    Vanayequi Independents

    Coquim Industry

    Allied FK5 2550 Autocracy

    FK5 2550 PLC

    Purungurawn Purple Society

    Natural Toolfa Nationalists

    Partnership of GD 215

    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

    Yakabugai Exchange

    Order of Ethgreze

    Zaragas Energy Corp.

    Crimson State Group

    Labour of Ethgreze

    Laedla and Co

    The Pilots Federation

    Sol Workers' Party

    Alioth Pro-Alliance Group

    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.

  • Galactic News: Canonn Campaign Concludes

    A spokesperson for the Canonn Interstellar Research Group has announced that its appeal for indium, computer components and tea has been enthusiastically received by the galactic community, resulting in a massive influx of deliveries to Zoline Port. The campaign also received the support of hundreds of combat pilots, who protected traders contributing commodities to the campaign. Construction of the deep-space research vessel Gnosis is now underway.

    The organisation’s leaders have extended their gratitude to those who supported the campaign.

    Pilots who contributed to the initiative can now collect their rewards from Zoline Port in the LTT 377 system.

  • Community Goal: Zeus Bureau Appeal

    A press release from the Zeus Bureau, an organisation based in Zeus, has revealed that the system will soon host a gathering of some of the galaxy's most influential people. Figures from the worlds of politics, commerce and culture are scheduled to convene at KatherineB for what is promised to be "an event of unparalleled opulence".

    With the event scheduled to take place next week, the Zeus Bureau has placed an open order for a range of luxury goods, promising to reward those who deliver these commodities to KatherineB in the Zeus system.

    A spokesperson for the organisation released a brief statement:

    "Some of the most powerful people in the galaxy will attend this event, so it is of the utmost importance that our guests want for nothing. We have therefore placed open orders for Giant Irukama Snails, Kamitra Cigars and Lavian Brandy. We are confident that, with the support of the galactic community, we can create a truly memorable event."

    The appeal begins on 18th of May 3303 and will run for one week. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.

  • Community Goal: Trouble in Colonia

    Recent reports indicate that a number of unauthorised outposts have been detected in the Eol Prou Lw-L C8-215 system. A spokesperson for the Colonia Council confirmed that these outposts are currently occupied by group of agitators, which have already begun targeting pilots in the system.

    The Colonia region is a popular emigration destination, but entry is carefully controlled by the system’s governing body, the Colonia Council. Evidently, the system’s latest residents are unconcerned with the Council’s processes.

    With the Colonia community still at an early stage and lacking a comprehensive security force, it is relying on the galaxy's independent combat pilots for military support. The Junkyard Dogs has placed a kill order on all wanted ships operating in Eol Prou Lw-L C8-215, and has promised to reward pilots who deliver bounty vouchers to Tolagarf's Junkjard.

    The campaign begins on 18th of May 3303 and will run for one week. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.

  • 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:

    Brotherhood of LP 98-132

    Uru Federal Interstellar

    Wolf 359 Blue Travel Commodities

    Union of Wolf 359 Labour

    Ngaliba Blue Camorra

    Potriti Gold Mafia

    Cemiess Commodities

    Coquim Industry

    Orrere Ring

    Eravate Network

    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

    LHS 535 Silver United Ltd

    League of Ross 1015

    Calennero Shared

    Sif League

    League of Orishpucho Movement

    Backlum Gold Allied Organisation

    League of 36 Ursae Majoris

    Lopocareni United

    Taliesin Crimson Fortune Systems

    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.
