    Brewer Corporation has issued an urgent call for mined and manufactured materials to support the rapid construction of multiple new starports.
    Reports have started to circulate among the pilot community of receiving internal communications from their Power contacts specifically calling for their support in relation to securing interests around HIP 87621.
    While the corporation confirmed that the priority was immediate, it declined to identify their clients or intended deployment locations.
    The megacorp's CEO, Madelyn Teague, explained:
    "Brewer Corporation adheres to the strictest standards of client confidentiality and therefore cannot reveal the origin of this order. What I can assure shareholders is that the sheer scale and limited timeframe of the order is considerable. While this has stressed our reserves of certain stocks, we are taking steps to ensure the order is fulfilled with the level

    Lakon Spaceways has praised the success of its sponsored mining trials for the Type-11 Prospector, praising independent pilots who flew them.
    Engineers reported that the data gathered has exceeded expectations, with the Prospector's custom mining systems maintaining consistent, high-yield results.
    A Lakon senior design engineer, who oversaw the trial, stated:
    "The feedback from pilots has been very positive. The Prospector's unique hardpoint configuration and enhanced limpet systems are proving themselves in real mining conditions. We built this ship to be one of the best surface mining vessels you can buy, and these trials have shown that it is exactly that."
    Several pilots involved in the campaign described the vessel as "ripping through asteroids with ease", praising its ability to produce unprecedented fragment yields. The feedback is also welcomed by the news of a permanent 8% boost to

    Lexi October, billionaire investor and head of the October Consortium, has issued a statement clarifying her organisation's ownership of the HIP 87621 permit.
    "The October Consortium acquired system rights through all proper and legal channels over a decade ago," October declared. "Our researchers are conducting a legitimate study of several planetary bodies. Any infringement upon these rights will be rigorously challenged through interstellar courts. Permit access is not granted lightly, nor will we tolerate attempts to undermine lawful operations."
    October also questioned the intensity of media and scientific scrutiny directed at her organisation:
    "Zachary Rackham's recent survey campaign enlisted thousands of independent pilots to scour the galaxy for planetary data. Yet Rackham has not shared the promised results with the scientific community – not a single piece of scan data. Why, then,

    Leading voices in the exobiological community are demanding clarity on the fate of Terri Tora, the young researcher who recently went missing around HIP 87621.
    Professor Frank Raddix, who originally appealed for help in locating his young partner, issued a new statement this week:
    "Terri risked everything in pursuit of discovery. We deserve to know whether she is safe and what exactly she found. Continued silence from the authorities is unacceptable."
    Independent journalist Alexei Keel of Vox Galactica has published evidence linking the permit lock to billionaire investor Lexi October. October Consortium, which predominantly deals in technology, gambling circles, and high-profile investments, refused to comment when approached. Lexi's silence has fuelled intense speculation over whether her organisation is involved with controlling access to the system.
    Keel noted that the October Consortium's

    The Zachary Rackham-sponsored initiative to collect planetary scan data from across the galaxy has concluded.
    Rackham Capital Investments confirmed an 'unprecedented volume of high-quality submissions' from independent explorers. Pilots were tasked to scan worlds matching the classification of certain planets within the permit-locked HIP 87621 system, after long-range scans revealed unusual exobiological signatures. The findings are now being analysed by researchers sponsored by RCI.
    Zachary Rackham praised the pilot community for their efforts:
    "I knew the galaxy's finest explorers wouldn't let me down. Thanks to the staggering amount of data you've gathered, our scientific teams are already narrowing down what makes HIP 87621 so special. Let me tell you, we're on the brink of cracking the mystery of that system. Won't that be marvellous?"
    However, Federal Times journalist Bryanna Blanco, who

    A recent hunt for maverick exobiology scientist Terri Tora has only deepened the mystery surrounding her disappearance.
    The search began after Professor Frank Raddix issued an appeal to locate his missing colleague, who was last reported pursuing "something big" for the science community. An encrypted trail of messages led search pilots across multiple systems, piecing together encrypted comms data. Thousands participated, ultimately confirming Tora's final location at HIP 87621, a permit locked system.
    Speculation about the system is rife as no third party or superpower has claimed ownership of the permit lock, leading to rumours about its true significance and why access has been restricted for so long.
    Professor Raddix issued the following statement after the discovery of Tora's last known location: "My thanks go to the many pilots who answered my call. Terri's trail has led us somewhere we

    Brewer Corporation has issued an urgent call for assistance following a wave of pirate attacks targeting the Minerva based resupply efforts for the Trailblazer fleet.
    The convoys, which are transporting historically large volumes of aluminium, steel, titanium and CMM composites, have become high-priority targets for opportunistic raids. Security analysts have noted the coordinated nature of the attacks, prompting speculation that elements within a superpower may be providing clandestine support for the attacks.
    A Brewer Corporation spokesperson commented: "The Trailblazer fleet remains a key element in supplying humanity's expansion into the stars and exploiting the opportunities this affords. It's disappointing, if not surprising, that some forces would prefer to see that vision of independence fail."

    Zorgon Peterson has confirmed that the Panther Clipper heavy freighter has entered full-scale production following two successful community-led support initiatives.
    Independent pilots played a vital role in stabilising final-phase manufacturing, with critical commodities delivered to production facilities at Vespucci City. Security operations were also pivotal, with coordinated action clearing pirate threats and safeguarding high-priority convoys across the Aiaba system.
    A spokesperson for Zorgon Peterson stated:
    "We're proud to see the Panther Clipper launched on schedule. The response from the pilot community has been overwhelming, and instrumental, in making this happen. Early sales have been promising, and we're looking forward to seeing the Panther's impact on interstellar trade."
    Pilots are now being asked to deliver aluminium, steel, titanium, and CMM composites to replenish Trailblazer

    The conflict between Imperial forces and Archon Delaine in the Beta-3 Tucani system has concluded, with analysts confirming a clear victory for the Empire.
    The system became a flashpoint after Imperial Intelligence launched an operation aimed at weakening Delaine's influence and driving the Mictlan megaship from the region. Both sides called upon independent pilots to support their efforts, resulting in widespread clashes across the system.
    Supporters of the Empire successfully repelled Delaine's forces and dealt a severe blow to pirate operations in the system. Imperial Intelligence claimed success in its objective to force the Mictlan into retreat, though Delaine appears to have survived the assault.
    A spokesperson for Emperor Arissa Lavigny-Duvall praised the outcome:
    "Every Commander who fought under an Imperial banner has helped deliver a sharp message to any would-be aggressor against

    Six months have passed since the Battle for Sol culminated in the destruction of Titan Cocijo. With the alien threat repelled, communities across the core systems are beginning to rebuild economies, infrastructure - and hope.
    Stations which suffered caustic devastation have long since restored full services. Local economies have bounced back and, in some cases, flourished thanks to the recent wave of new colonisation efforts.
    Across the bubble both small ceremonies and large public events have taken place. Memorials for the dead, celebrations of brave pilots who engaged the alien threat, and spiritual guidance in the aftermath are common occasions. A memorial beacon deployed near the remains of the Titan wreckage in Sol draws visitors from across the bubble, the site representing both a crucial victory and a tragic loss of life.
