Federal President Zachary Hudson has announced plans to add a new Farragut Battle Cruiser to the Federal fleet. The gigantic new vessel will be capable of transporting multiple Federal Corvettes in addition to boasting an array of heavy weaponry. Captain G.C. Richards, who is overseeing construction of the new ship, issued a brief statement to the media:

\"This new battle cruiser will occupy a significant role in the Federal Navy, strengthening our borders and enhancing the profile of our armed forces. In the interest of completing production as efficiently as possible, we have authorised the Beta Hydri Corporation to reimburse pilots who deliver essential supplies to our base of operations at Stevenson Base. This is an opportunity for those loyal to the Federation to support a vitally important initiative.\"

The campaign begins on the 10th of March 3302 and will run for one week. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.

Pilots who support the operation will be generously reimbursed.

Community Goal: Campaign to Construct New Starport in LHS 3447

25 FEB 3302

LHS 3447 is familiar to many independent pilots, being a popular starting point for those embarking on careers as traders, bounty hunters and explorers. But many of these pilots have bemoaned the relative inaccessibility of the system's starports.

The Pilots Federation, in association with LHS 3447 Dynamic and Co, has announced plans to address the issue by constructing a new Orbis starport in LHS 3447. According to a spokesperson for the organisation, the new starport will orbit LHS 3447 B 1 a, making it particularly valuable to miners exploiting the LHS 3447 AB belt.

\"The Pilots Federation is all about building a better future for the people who keep the galaxy moving. This new starport will give those people a valuable new trade and resupply hub, in addition to giving the system's economy a boost.\"

The campaign to construct the starport, which will be named 'Bluford Orbital', begins on the 25th of February 3302 and will run for two weeks. Pilots who want to support the first phase of the campaign are invited to deliver metals to Worlidge Terminal in LHS 3447.

Rewards Structure: Top 10 Commanders Receive 30,375,000 Cr + Global awards Top 5% Receive 15,187,000 Cr + Global awards Top 15% Receive 6,075,000 Cr + Global awards Top 40% Receive 4,556,250 Cr + Global awards Top 70% Receive 3,037,500 Cr + Global awards Top 99% Receive 1,000,000 Cr + Global awards

Note - HRES around LHS 3447 B2

The Campaign to construct a new starport in the LHS 3447 system has been eagerly received by the galactic community, but recent reports indicate that the traders delivering metals for use in the construction project are being targeted by marauders. To protect these pilots, the Pilots Federation, in association with LHS 3447 Dynamic and Co, has placed a kill order on all wanted ships operating in the system. A spokesperson for the Pilots Federation issued a brief statement:

\"We will not tolerate any harassment of those who have chosen to support this campaign. We are therefore offering generous bounties on all wanted vessels found disturbing the peace in LHS 3447.\"

The campaign begins on the 3rd of March 3302 and will run for one week. Pilots who want to help are invited to hand in bounties at Worlidge Terminal in LHS 3447. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately. Pilots who want to help are invited to hand in bounties to Worlidge Terminal in LHS 3447.

The Lave Radio Network is launching a campaign for pilots to support them in their efforts to build a new antenna relay in the neighbouring system of Diso. While performing scheduled maintenance tests, the current interstellar transmitter was found to be broken. A spokesperson for Lave Radio released the following statement:

\"It seems that most of the components have been scavenged by raiders... or taken home by staff... or something. Nevertheless, we now have an opportunity to construct a new transmitter and foster relations with the nearby\" sigh \"...Diso system.\"

The Lave Radio Network transmitter system is based on an antiquated but powerful network of focusing crystals, only found in the Cherbones system: Cherbones Blood Crystals. These are extremely rare and exotic mineral, extracted in a highly dangerous mining operation.

Lave Radio are requesting all Commanders bring as many Cherbones Blood Crystals as possible from Chalker Landing in Cherbones to Lave Station in the Lave system, in order for the new interstellar relay to be built.

The campaign begins on the 3rd of March 3302 and will run for one week. The campaign will finish IMMEDIATELY, if the final tier is achieved earlier than planned. Pilots who support the operation will be generously reimbursed.

NOTE: Cherbones (Chalker Landing) is an Outpost and is 577,000 LS from Star NOTE: Only 20T of Blood Crystals are available per cargo run NOTE: Lave is 117.96 LY from Cherbones

Community Goal: Clean up Orulas

25 FEB 3302

For years, the sparsely populated Orulas system has been dominated by the Orulas Blue Hand Gang, a ruthless criminal organisation. This cold-blooded band has been making life intolerable for the system's inhabitants, but the local government appears reluctant to take a stand. Some have speculated that this is because the authorities receive regular kickbacks from the criminals.

But one resident has had enough. Rose Trebek, a former soldier and veteran of countless military campaigns, has established a defence initiative to clean up Orulas – the Joint Security Taskforce.

\"I'm sick of these scumbags running my system,\" said Trebek, \"and I'm sick of the government looking the other way. It's time to take care of these punks. But we can't do it alone.\"

\"Our intelligence indicates that the Blue Hand is ferrying its spoils in big convoys to various fences. They trade mostly in escape pods, which they sell to shady pseudo-scientific outfits conducting illegal human experiments. We need pilots to swoop in, bust open the convoys, and recover as many pods as they can. We also need volunteers to sweep the system, taking out any Blue Hand ships they encounter. That should make things easier for the Commanders targeting the convoys.\"

Trebek has the resources to offer generous incentives to those who support the campaign. But she has stressed that the operation will not be straightforward:

\"If you're not an experienced combat pilot, frankly you can't help us. These Blue Hand dirtbags are the real deal. I don't want your death on my conscience.\"

The campaign begins on the 25th of February 3302 and will run for one week.

Note: beware if you're interested in bounty hunting: despite its description, this CG is a combat one (in combat zones) not a bounty hunting one.
