THEY ARE COMING
30 Nov 3310
Since Raijin’s defeat last month, expectations have risen for the end of the Thargoid war. However, this optimism may have blinded us to the looming danger. In our eagerness to eradicate these insectoids, we allowed them to make a decisive move against us. Now, the last titan, Cocijo, is heading toward Earth - our home, where humanity first thrived and rose to become an interstellar civilization. Once, we were haunted by the specter of simple climate changes, challenges we could envision overcoming with terraformation. But now, our home faces its gravest peril.
This Thargoid offensive might seem like the desperate act of a dying species. But make no mistake - this is an ultimatum.
Do we erase from history the voices that once sought peace? (as highlighted in these 3308 Galnet articles: Peace with the Thargoids?, Xeno-Peace Project Gathers Support, and Federation Bans the Far God Cult)
Or do we risk annihilation by refusing to end this "genocide"?
Perhaps we will soon meet the Guardians - not through a Skynet-like uprising, but through the Thargoids themselves.
Rise up, humanity. Every child, woman, and man must prepare to defend our home against the greatest threat we've ever faced. Rise up, commanders, as our frontline and last line of defense. Send these insects back to where they belong: the void of inexistence.
Humanity's Comeback: The Commander's Surge
30 Nov 3310
Amid the terrifying Thargoid threat, there is hope. Galactic activity has surged by 70% in the last month (source), echoing the discovery of anomalies leading to the core systems and the response to the coming of Taranis. The tragic vanishing of the Kingfisher megaship, perhaps humanity's most ambitious and naive attempt at peace, feels eerily mirrored exactly two years later.
This resurgence in activity appears driven by rapid technological advancements, including new ship designs, the groundbreaking SCO FSD invention, and reduced module costs, which have made cutting-edge gear more accessible to commanders.
In the past month, over 2,000 additional commanders have taken to the cockpit, a blend of returning veterans and eager new recruits. This surge not only strengthens our fight against the Thargoids but also marks one of the most significant leaps in human progress since the advent of Faster-Than-Light travel
Powerplay: Popular Politics or Dangerous Game?
27 Nov 3310
As the war rages, a shift in political dynamics has emerged, heralded by Galnet as a "new dawn for humanity". Powerplay has undergone a transformation, decentralizing its modus operandi and bringing supporters to the forefront of influence. With new incentives - exclusive modules, greater profits, and specialized fleet carriers - engagement in Powerplay is more accessible than ever. Furthermore, the promise of a DIY colonization system has captured the imagination of commanders, offering the dream of claiming their own piece of the galaxy - even if it remains tied to a Power.
Yet, this raises critical questions: Who will fund and sustain this expansion? Shouldn’t we focus on addressing humanity’s immediate crises?
Mahon, Duval(s), Grom, Antal - and you, reader - ponder this: Why can we explore black holes and celestial wonders, yet fail to resolve the age-old scourges of violence and poverty?
