The engineer Ram Tah requires urgent deliveries of Guardian relics to Felice Dock in the Meene system.

Professor Alba Tesreau, head of Aegis, made an announcement to launch the initiative:

"Since the arrival of the Thargoid Titans, we have developed several new modules to bypass their defences. But these motherships remain a constant presence in our space, continuing to unleash never-ending swarms of Thargoid vessels."

"A recent theory presented by Ram Tah has the potential to change this situation. Although details of his research remain classified for the moment, the theory is derived from the Thargoids' inherent vulnerability to the technologies of their ancient enemy, the Guardians."

"Aegis is doing everything it can to support this crucial initiative. We therefore request deliveries of Guardian relics, needed to rapidly refine Ram Tah's theory and develop prototypes. Ram Tah has promised to reveal more details to the public should these prototypes succeed."

As an additional incentive, paint jobs will be offered to qualifying participants.

Top 75%: Alliance Chieftain Guardian paint job

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

Councillor Nakato Kaine has requested deliveries to the Tionisla system in protest against the anti-xeno defence pact.

The Alliance Rapid-reaction Corps, which is hosting the initiative, will protect participants by redeeming bounty vouchers for the destruction of any wanted ships.

The campaign was personally arranged by Councillor Nakato Kaine, the representative for Tionisla in the Alliance Assembly. Speaking to the Old Worlds Gazette, Kaine stated:

"I aim to prove that the Alliance's military fleet is not as dependent upon Sirius Corporation as many believe. This campaign demonstrates our capability to stockpile vital resources for the Alliance Defence Force. And we have plenty of researchers, mechanics and manufacturers ready to develop our own defences against the Thargoids."

The campaign begins on 30th of November and will run for one week. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.

Councillor Nakato Kaine has requested deliveries to the Tionisla system in protest against the anti-xeno defence pact.

Pilots are asked to deliver shipments of hazardous environment suits, micro controllers and titanium to Brett High.

The campaign was personally arranged by Councillor Nakato Kaine, the representative for Tionisla in the Alliance Assembly. Speaking to the Old Worlds Gazette, Kaine stated:

"I aim to prove that the Alliance's military fleet is not as dependent upon Sirius Corporation as many believe. This campaign demonstrates our capability to stockpile vital resources for the Alliance Defence Force. And we have plenty of researchers, mechanics and manufacturers ready to develop our own defences against the Thargoids."

"It's clear to me that Li Yong-Rui never intended to honour his anti-xeno commitments. I've seen evidence of Sirius negotiating favourable contracts with Allied tech and military corporations. Their special access to the Alliance's markets, plus the endorsement of our prime minister, have provided them with unfair leverage. The true cost of the pact has yet to be revealed, but you can bet that Allied citizens will pay the price while Sirius's profits soar."

As an extra incentive for participants, Lakon Spaceways has agreed to offer discounts on Allied anti-xeno vessels if the campaign ends successfully. The discounts will be based on the campaign tier reached.

Tier 1: 10% discount on Chieftain Tier 2: 10% discount on Challenger Tier 3: 10% discount on Crusader Tier 4: 20% discount on the Alliance Chieftain, Challenger and Crusader

These rewards are inclusive but not cumulative, as the potential 20% discount would replace the 10% offered at lower tiers. The discounted price will be available at Tionisla shipyards only. Discounts will be available until December 21st.

The campaign begins on the 30th of November and will run for one week. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.

A mining initiative is being held in the LHS 3872 system, as Torval Mining Ltd welcomes its new CEO.

Senator Zemina Torval, owner of the Imperial company until recently, has formally transferred her controlling shares to her eldest daughter. Constantia Torval was already director of operations, but will now oversee all corporate decision making from the highest chair.

From the press suite on Curbeam Hub starport, Ms Torval gave an announcement:

"My mother's tireless efforts to build a corporation worthy of our family name have brought enormous success and esteem to the Torval portfolio. It is my honour to continue supplying vital resources to the great industries that drive our Empire."

"To mark the occasion, Torval Mining Ltd offers generous payments for newly mined quantities of lithium hydroxide, painite, praseodymium and tritium. The campaign is being managed by the Aristocrats of Cuacocha, who will receive shipments at Curbeam Hub in LHS 3872. This follows my new policy to subcontract mining operations to other Imperial factions, in order to meet expanded resource extraction quotas."

"A Torval Mining Ltd mining laser will also be awarded to those pilots who make a concerted effort to support our endeavours."

The top 75% of contributors will receive a pre-engineered Mining Laser with the Long Range modification. The module offers increased range and reduced thermal load and power draw, at the cost of reduced module integrity.

The campaign begins on the 16th of November and will run for one week. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.

Pilots' Federation ALERT Commanders have been asked to help destroy the rogue Grey Swan pilots killing civilians in the Shamash system.

Military squadrons taking part in Fleet Exercise Grey Swan became irrationally violent following an unexplained mass hysteria that swept through Garrett Orbital during a fleet training exercise. Captain Ulrich Maurer, commanding officer of the San Tu State Network megaship Khonsu Gleam, broadcast the following message:

"Shamash Future's security forces have asked us to help stop the carnage taking place throughout this system. No medical or technological solution has been found for affected pilots, who seem reluctant to leave Shamash. Therefore, to prevent the loss of more innocent lives, there is regrettably no choice but to eliminate every ship in the Grey Swan fleet."

"We are urgently seeking to recruit independent pilots with combat experience. Financial rewards and other incentives will be available at the Khonsu Gleam. Hopefully we can perform this unpleasant task as efficiently as possible."

Wing Commander Mackenzie Coates was coordinating Fleet Exercise Grey Swan when the signal caused its crews to become homicidal. She told a local newsfeed:

"This is a nightmarish situation. I'm trained to deal with pirates, invaders and even Thargoids, not to hunt down my own friends and colleagues. The thought of them being turned into deranged savages… I know they wouldn't want to live like that. But I can't be the one to pull the trigger – there are survivors on Garrett Orbital who need my help."

As an additional incentive, the top ten individual contributors will receive a Wraith Spectre Sand suit, available from November 3rd.

Participants are advised that the Khonsu Gleam aims to complete the combat operation by Wednesday 1st November.
