Update 7 - All platform update
GALACTIC NEWS
Based on the latest news from the Cornsar system it appears that “Salvation” has deployed some kind of weapon and has brought an abrupt end to the Thargoid incursion into that system. The remains of destroyed Thargoid vessels are now found on planets all over the system. This seems like a potential shift to the balance of power in the Thargoid war.
FACTION NEWS
NEWP has now gained control over another star system LHS 3006, and the beautiful Leonard Nimoy station. Congratulations Commanders!

WEEKEND EVENT
Crystal Garden Visit
This weekend we’ll be providing fleet carrier support to head out to the Crystal Gardens to help everyone collect all the raw materials that you can carry. Some of these locations are stunning, and are, by far the fastest way to max out your high grade raw materials. I highly recommend this if you’re planning on engineering up some ships.
Details now up in the Event Chat Channel in discord.
