Herman Colt missing: an ambicious explorer or an attention begger?
29 Oct 3310
Heman Colt, a famous treasure hunter, is suposedly missing after going to an expediction. Natasha Moore, his colleague, reported his missing after he stopped answering to the radio. This statement might be an overreaction, as Colt is an experienced explorer and was following leads to Captain Morrigan's treasure (she was a pirate believed dead in 3265), Colt's most sought prize. We'll have to wait to news to know for sure if his missing is real or just one more of his attention begging, as it would not be the first time.
Update: 31 Oct 3310
We come to apologize for our article. Commanders found out about Colt's horrible death when they came after him on Frenis system. Our sources reported that system HIP 7233 was his burial system, where he succumbed to madness and tried to attack some kind of Morrigan's ghost, wrecking his ship unhelpfully. We mourn for our loss, Colt was a great explorer, and his need for attention was nothing but what he deserved as such.
Galaxy's human powers come to an agreement
31 Oct 3310
No, it’s not the end of the power struggle that has defined our species since its origins. What we’re seeing, in fact, is an evolution in the way these conflicts play out. Now, less powerful commanders can play a fundamental role for these powers and for humanity as a whole: expanding human influence and presence across the galaxy.
With new plans and the financial capacity to support them, the powers will now encourage the colonization of systems and the construction of new stations, involving commanders who pledge their loyalty. We still need more time to form solid opinions on this new approach by the powers, but for now, we can expect an increase in conflicts between them, as well as a broadening of human expansion to new horizons - especially with the apparent culmination of the war against those %$#@! insects.
Mandalay: the human race doom
31 Oct 3310
Zorgon Peterson's new mid-size exploration ship release has finally come. The Mandalay promises to be a new generation of vessels, optimized for exobiology, as maneuverable as Lakon’s Diamondback Explorer, and with a greater jump range than a fully outfitted Anaconda. These promises have excited many naive commanders even before the launch.
But a question urges: who benefits from us exploring even further? Don’t we have enough already? We haven’t even connected Colonia and The Bubble yet. We need to focus much more on that than on anything else. The powers were right to propose their changes.
Zorgon’s release only raises doubts about their intentions. Is this another move by the Club, distracting us from our true goals? Or could it be something orchestrated by the insectoida Seo Jin-ae, now a major ally of the Thargoids in this war? One thing is clear: they’re desperate for us to forget their horrors so they can strike us again where it hurts most. Do you really believe that the Shinrarta Dezhra event was only the work of the Thargoids? That no human was behind it?
Don’t be naive. BOYCOTT the Mandalay before we’re all doomed to the ‘goids knowing exactly where our most skilled explorers are. And they all recommend the Krait Phantom, the most versatile ship out there, flying like ghosts under enemy radar and reaching systems that no other ship can. Don't get fooled, stick with the classic. Stick with Krait.
The lone bug by the lamp
25 oct 3310
With Raijin’s end, as everyone should know by now, we have only one more challenge. Cocijo awaits you, commanders, with open arms in the Col 285 Sector BA-P c6-18 system. Don’t bring the kids. But make them watch history unfold as these bugs are wiped from the galaxy, one by one.
Let us all have long lives and short deaths, and remember: hit them where it hurts the most. o7
