Zende Partners has revealed plans to establish a ferry service between the core systems and Guardian space.

Freya Taine, the company's CEO, made this statement:

"In response to increasing demand for Guardian commodities, my company aims to facilitate access to the area once occupied by the Guardians. This will involve the construction of a megaship to transport pilots to and from this comparatively inaccessible region."

"Five systems have been highlighted as potential destinations, and we'd like to invite the galactic community to decide which of these should serve as the termination point for the megaship. We will then build an outpost in the chosen system, and the megaship will enter service."

"We hope that this initiative will stimulate new innovations in the field of Guardian-human technology."

The conflict in the Synuefe EN-H d11-96 system has ended with Zende Partners resisting an expansion attempt from Segnen Exchange.

Zende Partners CEO Freya Taine made the following declaration:

"With the support of the galactic community, my company has withstood the violent raids instigated by our rivals. Zende Partners will manage both outposts in the system, and the megaship transport service will continue operating on a weekly basis from Zende."

"I am also proud to announce that we have begun manufacture of our new Advanced Multi-cannon at The Prospect, using recently acquired Guardian materials."

In a subdued response, Cedrik Stone stated the following:

"Segnen Exchange has decided to withdraw from Synuefe EN-H d11-96 and focus our resources on previously established operations. While this setback has interfered with our research and development schedule, we will learn from this experience

Zende Partners has called for increased deliveries of Guardian commodities in Synuefe EN-H d11-96, the newly established hub for Guardian-human technological research.

CEO Freya Taine made the following announcement:

"My company has established a scientific research outpost in Guardian space named The Prospect, which also serves as the termination point for our megaship transport service from the Zende system. The next step is to procure a licence that will allow a technology broker to trade from The Prospect."

"In preparation for this, we invite the galactic community to collect Guardian commodities from nearby ancient ruins and bring them to the outpost. This will allow us to provide a stock of existing Guardian-human technology, while also stimulating further studies into this extinct civilisation."

Deliveries should be made to The Prospect in the Synuefe EN-H d11-96 system.

A megaship service offering transport to Guardian space from Zende is now in operation.

The CEO of Zende Partners, Freya Taine, announced:

"Following the recommendation of the galactic community, my company has established an outpost in Synuefe EN-H d11-96 that will serve as the termination point for this new ferry service. Our two megaships, Sadler's Song and The Conduit, will make weekly trips to the selected location."

"This first step of our initiative should encourage activity at nearby Guardian ruins. In addition, we have now finalised the design of an advanced military module based on Guardian technology, and we hope to begin manufacture of this design very soon."

Among the feedback from the technology industry was a statement by Cedrik Stone, CEO of rival arms manufacturer Segnen Exchange:

"While Zende Partners' recent efforts to promote Guardian-human research are admirable, I would

Quote from Wing Commander News-Bot

The SNES port of Wing Commander II isn't the only Origin game that was essentially finished but unreleased. Here are two advertisements I recently noticed while working on another project: published advertisements for Pacific Strike CD (1994) and Bioforge Plus (1995). These were both 'budget' projects that were far in development when Electronic Arts decided to reorganize Origin's projects. Some material from Bioforge Plus has leaked over the years, including the completed 'gauntlet' feature. I wonder if the unreleased Pacific Strike audio or the extra missions are out there somewhere…

... but one thing Pacific Strike-related that IS out there is its largely undocumented Japanese sequel/remake. In 1998, Sony published a game in Japan called Zero Pilot which according to its packaging is credited to Origin Systems. Huh?! That's right, Zero Pilot is a licensed sequel to Pacific Strike that updates it to

Zorgon Peterson has delighted fans and investors alike with the confirmation of its first new vessel in six years.
At an extravagant launch party, the Mandalay was introduced to an enthusiastic reception. Presented as an exploration-focused vessel, Zorgon Peterson chief marketing officer Devin Kaneda provided the following details:
"With the Mamba, Zorgon Peterson's team showed we can match all other manufacturers in terms of speed. With the Fer-de-Lance, we demonstrated our understanding of excellent military design. Now, with the Mandalay, we aim to provide consumers with a premium exploration option."
"Our design division has focused on specific performance advantages once again. The Mandalay brings a significant jump range for a medium-sized vessel. Careful attention has also been placed on improving ship handling in atmospheric environments."
"We've also listened to explorers regarding

Zorgon Peterson has officially announced the release of the long-awaited Panther Clipper, with an initial run deployed for purchase amidst ongoing production issues.
The Panther Clipper is described as the largest and most advanced heavy freighter currently licensed for civilian use. With a focus on maximum cargo capacity and long-range endurance, it is expected to redefine logistics operations for independent pilots, corporations, and faction-aligned haulers alike.
Final specifications include a maximum cargo capacity of over 1200 tonnes, giving it the same capacity as a fully laden Type-8 and Imperial Cutter combined. It is also the first ship that can be equipped with the MkII cargo rack.
A spokesperson for Zorgon Peterson offered the following statement:
"This is a proud moment for our entire team. The Panther Clipper relaunches following decades of development and adaption to the growing

Zorgon Peterson has issued a public call for support in the final production phase of the long-anticipated Panther Clipper Mk II.
The heavy freighter, hailed as the largest solo-pilot cargo vessel ever produced for civilian use, has encountered logistical setbacks. Whilst the perpetrator has not been explicitly named, analysts have pointed towards retributive pirate operations following the Kumo Crew's recent defeat in Beta-3 Tucani.
A spokesperson for Zorgon Peterson said:
"We remain fully committed to launching the Panther Clipper Mk II on schedule. With the help of the independent pilot community, we aim to stabilise supply chains and defend our shipping lanes."
Pilots are invited to support the initiative from Vespucci City in the Aiaba system. Assistance is requested in two forms: deliveries of Superconductors, Polymers and Gallium to the station, and anti-piracy operations to protect

Zorgon Peterson has announced the limited release of the Caspian Explorer, a large vessel purpose-built for deep space and planetary exploration.
Designed from the keel up as an exploration platform, the Caspian Explorer forgoes the "jack of all trades" compromise of many large ship options. Zorgon Peterson claims the Caspian Explorer is an elite choice for deep space voyages: "a dedicated large explorer that outpaces competitors in exploration performance, manoeuvrability and planetary operations while offering jump capability to match the needs of far-reaching expeditions."
Key features setting the Caspian Explorer apart include new Mk II exploration modules, improved landing thrusters that halve gravity influence on high-G worlds, and advanced thermal shielding for faster, steeper atmospheric entries. The ship also comes with a Mk II SCO-enabled frame shift drive that increases neutron jump
