    Engineers Appeal for Thargoid Material – Liz Ryder

    Location: Eurybia / Awyra Flirble | Contributors: 8 723 | End: 28.9.2017

    Following news that the Thargoids have attacked a Federal convoy in the Pleiades Sector IR-W d1-55 system, Aegis has recruited two of the galaxy’s foremost independent engineers to immediately begin developing new defensive and offensive technologies.

    One of these engineers is Liz Ryder, a specialist in explosive weaponry, who spoke to The Federal Times about her involvement:

    It’s not about penetrating the Thargoids’ shields – we’ve been blowing each other up for centuries so we’ve gotten pretty good at dealing punishment – it’s about creating weapons that are specifically calibrated to damage Thargoid hardware.

    Ryder was asked if she thought it was too late to avert all-out conflict with the Thargoids:

    That’s a question for the politicians. My job is to design weapons. And if someone – or something – shoots at you, you’ve got two choices: run away or shoot back. At the moment, the first of those is our only option. It would be nice to have a second.

    Aegis has placed an open order for a range of Thargoid materials for use in the programme. Aegis Core has pledged to reward pilots who deliver Unknown Technology Samples, Unknown Biological Matter, Ancient Relics and Explosives to Awyra Flirble in the Eurybia system for Liz Ryder.

    The campaign begins on the 21st of September and will run for one week. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.

    To be eligible for rewards you must sign up as an active participant before delivering Unknown Technology Samples, Unknown Biological Matter, Ancient Relics and Explosives to Awyra Flirble in the Eurybia system.

    Be aware that faction-state changes, UA bombing and other disruptive events can negatively impact markets and station services, and could prevent the initiative from running smoothly.

    Engineers Appeal for Thargoid Material – Professor Palin

    Location: Maia / Obsidian Orbital | Contributors: 7 862 | End: 28.9.2017

    Following news that the Thargoids have attacked a Federal convoy in the Pleiades Sector IR-W d1-55 system, Aegis has recruited two of the galaxy’s foremost independent engineers to immediately begin developing new defensive and offensive technologies.

    Professor Ishmael Palin, a leading authority on xenobiology, has been recruited to the programme. He said:

    My first task will be developing a scanner that can provide us with meaningful data on the Thargoids’ ships. Of course, to properly calibrate these new technologies we will need large quantities of Thargoid material.

    Aegis has placed an open order for a range of Thargoid materials for use in the programme. Aegis Research has promised to reimburse Commanders who deliver Unknown Technology Samples, Unknown Resin, Computer Components and Resonating Separators to Obsidian Orbital in the Maia system for Ishmael Palin.

    The campaign begins on the 21st of September and will run for one week. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.

    To be eligible for rewards you must sign up as an active participant before delivering Unknown Technology Samples, Unknown Resin, Computer Components and Resonating Separators to Obsidian Orbital in the Maia system.

    The Battle for Ho Hsi - Empire

    Location: Ho Hsi / Hand Ring | Contributors: 4 772 | End: 21.9.2017

    Recent reports indicate that conflict has erupted in the Ho Hsi system between the Freedom Party of Ho Hsi and the Ho Hsi Jet Comms Limited. System security forces were caught off guard by the violence, which began without warning and has escalated rapidly since then.

    Freedom Party of Ho Hsi has issued a call for aid appealing to independent combat pilots for support. Commanders who participate in the conflict will be generously rewarded.

    A representative of system security forces issued the following statement: It would be irresponsible of us to encourage independent pilots to join this fight, but if the galactic community can bring this conflict to a swift end, they will have our gratitude. The Freedom of Ho Hsi has set out a week-long operation to take control of the system which will begin on the 14th of September 3303.

    To be eligible for rewards you must sign up as an active participant before handing in Combat Bonds at Hand Ring in the Ho Hsi system.

    Please note that if you have any crew members, a portion of your combat bonds will be automatically assigned to them. These combat bonds will not count towards your personal contribution total, and your crew will receive the reward for their bonds when they are handed in. The proportion of combat bonds assigned to your crew will depend on their rank.

    With work on the second Chapterhouse of Inquisition starport now well underway, the organisation's ambitious project has entered its third and final phase.

    Once again the organisation has placed an open order for various commodities, and has placed a kill order on all ships on its wanted list so traders contributing material can continue to do so safely. It has promised to reward pilots who deliver bounty vouchers to Shajin Market in the Kamadhenu system.

    The campaign begins on the 7th of September 3303 and will run for one week. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.

    To earn rewards you must sign up as an active participant before handing in Bounty Vouchers at Shajin Market. Only Bounty Vouchers handed in after signing up will count toward your personal contribution total.

    Please note that if you have any crew members, a portion of your bounty vouchers will be automatically assigned to them. These bounty vouchers will not count towards your personal contribution total, and your crew will receive the reward for their vouchers when they are handed in.
