…This Galactic Guide originally appeared in Jump Point 5.1.
After centuries of cold war and tense diplomacy with the Xi’an empire, there are few places where interspecies relations have thawed more than in the Yā’mon system. This former no man’s land has, in recent times, transformed into a symbol of cooperation and new hope for all who desire lasting peace between our species.
Humanity’s first view of the system came from Teesa Morrison’s flight footage as she traversed the Baker-Yā’mon jump point in 2531. What started as an exuberant accounting of her initial findings of a main sequence class F star, anchoring four planets, turned into sheer panic when she ran into a Xi’an military unit escorting a mining team to the belt. Familiar with the Xi’an from the press coverage of the Pallas incident the year prior, Morrison and her crew fled immediately. The Xi’an military ships followed

…Hello everyone,
Last week, we published the Q&A for the ARGO SRV, answering the top questions voted on by the community. Can the SRV tow asteroids? Can a person in a space suit be towed? Find the answers to those questions and more detailed info on Argo Astronautics’ latest addition to their roster right here.
Our recent Around The Verse revealed a glimpse of the soon to come city planet ArcCorp, the versatile Reliant variants, but also featured a first look at the planned improvements for gimbaled weapons. What is your flavor? Do you trust the gimbals or do you prefer a fixed setup? Let us know in the comments!
Now, let’s see what’s going on this week:
Tuesday is lore day and we’ll take a look at the Hadur System with a Galactic Guide post. You can check out previously published lore posts here, or refresh your memory about the Hadur System.

Q&A: ARGO SRV
Following the launch of the SRV from Argo Astronautics, we took your community-voted questions to our designers to give you more information on the recently unveiled single-pilot standard recovery vehicle.
The ARGO SRV depicted in the image is carrying an unknown-sized cargo container. Please elaborate more on this cargo-carrying function. Is the SRV envisioned as one of the tools used to load/unload the larger HULL series ships?
One of the key design goals for this ship was to enable it to carry cargo around. Unloading larger cargo ships, such as the Hull series, is a perfect use of the SRV.
This is not explicitly stated in the documentation, but the ARGO SRV has a Quantum Drive and a Jump Drive. Can the SRV tow a ship in Quantum Travel? Can the SRV use a Jump Point when towing another ship?
The ARGO SRV can Quantum Travel while towing.

…Writer’s Note: Brothers In Arms: Part Two was published originally in Jump Point 3.6. Read Part One here.
Gavin left Walt on Cassel. There was a time, back in his single days, when an extended stay on a resort world was the perfect sequel to a crappy job. Now he had a better offer waiting at home and two bottles of chilled Kōen Shōchū riding shotgun in the cockpit beside him. The better offer, of course, was Dell. The shōchū was his best hope to reboot his homecoming from Oberon.
It wasn’t exactly the grand entrance he’d planned on making. He felt his cheeks warm and was glad to be alone. With a sigh, he squeezed his eyes shut and let his head fall back into his seat. His helmet bumped against the cockpit frame. When he opened his eyes again, the HUD had died. He rolled his head to eye the waiting bottles of shōchū. Perhaps he needed the alcohol more than she did.
Rhedd Alert’s hangar was still.

I’m in desperate need of your expertise.
Since we last crossed paths, I’ve been laying low. Was even earning an honest day’s wage until an old connect tracked me down in Stanton. They offered me a security gig at a secluded “trading” outpost on Yela and the pay was too sweet to pass up. Since the outpost was remotely operated, they wanted me on site to make sure everyone behaved themselves. I knew from rep that they’d become serious players from the days when we’d been running together, but the straight life wasn’t exactly the most comfortable, so against my better judgement I took the gig.
Everything went smoothly until an uptick in activity brought extra scrutiny to the place. Soon bounty hunters and other damn do-gooders started sitting on the place, looking to earn a few creds or make a name for

Valentine’s Day is but a sweet memory, yet after celebrating all weekend long with community-made Valentines and limited-time ship offers, you still have until 11:59pm PST today to pick up Anvil’s limited-edition Hornet F7C-M Heartseeker.

…This portfolio originally appeared in Jump Point 5.1.
Exhausted yet intensely focused pilots speed their ships towards a checkpoint. Once there, their flight logs receive the coordinates for the next destination. The pilots check their scans and pick a route before blasting off into the blackness of space. For the Xi’an pilots who step up to the challenge of the Koa e Ko’ia, this is their life for the next 200-250 hours.
The Koa e Ko’ia is an epic endurance race that’s wildly popular among the Xi’an. Although the race has been contested in various systems across the Xi’an Empire for centuries, it only recently came to Human attention when competitors appeared in the former Perry Line system of Hadur. One day, in 2881, previously open sectors of the system were suddenly off limits, and remained that way for the next week and a half (Standard Time).

Along with the updated Roadmap we also released our Star Citizen Monthly Report, covering progress the teams made in December and January.
As we’re approaching Valentine’s Day (only 3 more days, everyone!), we’ll celebrate with a “Be My Valentine” Card Contest. Share the love and design your own Star Citizen Valentine for a chance to win a ship that shoots straight for your heart. All the juicy details can be found on Spectrum here.
