{{Quote|Secretive technology required by Salvation for mass anti-Xeno initiatives.|In-Game Description}}
'''Classified Experimental Equipment''' was a [[Commodities#Technology|Technology]] [[List of Rare Commodities|Rare Commodity]] exclusively sold by Heart of Taurus in the Qarato system. It was produced by [[Taurus Mining Ventures]] and first used by [[Salvation]] in the assembly of his anti-[[Thargoid]] [[Anti-xeno superweapon|superweapons]] between December 9 and December 14, 3307. During the same period, former [[Aegis]] researcher Professor [[Alba Tesreau]] also asked pilots to divert some of the shipments to [[Meene]] for the [[Engineers|Engineer]] [[Ram Tah]] to analyse. The results, which Ram Tah reported on January 5, 3308, revealed that the components were similar to [[Guardian]] devices found at the [[Proteus]] site in Trapezium Sector YU-X c1-2.

*The military trial of Admiral [[Aden Tanner]] has been suspended following evidence provided by [[Ram Tah]] as a witness for the defence. The [[Federal Navy]] tribunal was called to consider multiple charges – including mutiny – held against Tanner, the chief military liaison to [[Aegis]]. While commanding the Musashi [[megaship]], he attempted to gain access to Hind Mine station and locate evidence regarding [[Salvation]]'s [[anti-xeno superweapon]]. Admiral Tanner's defence attorney opened a live link with Phoenix Base to allow Ram Tah to provide the following testimony: "We have analysed the classified experimental equipment that was recently delivered to enable Salvation's superweapons. These components are near-identical to devices found at the [[Proteus]] research facility on Trapezium Sector YU-X c1-2. In 3113, an [[Azimuth Biochemicals]] science team conducted weapons testing using [[Guardian]] artefacts from this site, accidentally triggering a radiation surge which resulted in their deaths. My hypothesis is that Salvation has constructed large-scale versions of the Proteus design. These generate a powerful electromagnetic pulse at frequencies which disrupt the [[Thargoid]]s' bio-mechanical technology. It's highly probable that this is based on an existing Guardian weapon discovered by the Proteus. This would explain why its presence within a system attracts Thargoid vessels." The Federal Navy Criminal Court announced that Admiral Tanner's court martial has been temporarily suspended while the new evidence is reviewed.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61bc639f33cc6e11ad79652d GalNet: Ram Tah's Revelations Halt Court Martial]</ref>

*[[Salvation]] has confirmed that his [[anti-xeno superweapon]]s successfully routed [[Thargoid]]s from the [[Delphi]], [[Maia]] and [[Merope]] systems. The following message was submitted to all [[newsfeed]]s: "The Thargoid spearhead into [[human]] space has been severely blunted. [[Morag Halloran|Commodore Halloran]] coordinated the operation with military precision, and many loyal pilots acted swiftly to provide components for my unique technology. At present, I am not able to deploy these weapons in other systems suffering alien infestation. Next year, we will deliver a decisive blow in the [[Second Thargoid War|war against the Thargoids]]. I urge the peoples of the galaxy to unite behind my crusade. [[Aegis]] is finished. I am the only remaining defence for humanity. I am Salvation." Independent pilots and anti-xeno squadrons have been asked to continue combating the remaining Thargoid vessels in the [[Coalsack Nebula|Coalsack]], [[Pleiades Nebula|Pleiades]] and [[Witch Head Nebula]] regions. Repair efforts are also still required in the Delphi, Maia and Merope systems.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61b2302a2019bc2f30220488 GalNet: The Triumph of Salvation]</ref>
14 DEC 3307
*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots' Federation ALERT*<br/>[[Salvation]]'s [[anti-xeno superweapon]]s have cleared most [[Thargoid]] vessels from the [[Delphi]], [[Maia]] and [[Merope]] systems. Pilots were asked to transport classified experimental equipment from the Heart of Taurus in the Qarato system to three other [[megaship]]s owned by [[Taurus Mining Ventures]]. These components were used to prepare the large-scale weapons developed by Salvation to affect Thargoid technology. [[Vox Galactica]] published an intercepted message from Commodore [[Morag Halloran]], commanding officer of the Musashi, to the [[Bright Sentinel]] and Glorious Prospect megaships: "This is Halloran. Operation Tri-hammer has concluded with a code white-three-alpha. Estimated target destruction in Delphi is at 27%, with full dispersal of 98% of remaining hostiles. Scans underway for non-combatant disruption or casualties. Maia and Merope data to be submitted immediately to central analytics." Independent observers have reported that the majority of all Thargoid ships in the three systems have abruptly departed, with some [[Crashed Thargoid Ship|wreckages]] found on planetary surfaces. This closely matches the event in the Cornsar system in September, when the anti-xeno superweapon was first deployed. Pilots are requested to help with repair and rescue efforts for starports damaged by the Thargoids: Donar's Oak and The Oracle in the Delphi system, [[Obsidian Orbital]] in the Maia system, and Reed's Rest in the Merope system.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61b22de57f20dc7b365da05a GalNet: Thargoids Repulsed from Three Systems]</ref>
09 DEC 3307
*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots' Federation ALERT*<br/>[[Salvation]] requires vital materials to deploy [[anti-xeno superweapon]]s in the [[Delphi]], [[Maia]] and [[Merope]] systems. A message was transmitted from the Musashi [[megaship]] by its new commanding officer, Commodore [[Morag Halloran]]: "The [[Thargoid]]s have invaded three key systems, as Salvation anticipated. Preparations have been made to halt their advance, but there is an urgent requirement to collect classified experimental equipment from the Heart of Taurus in the Qarato system. Pilots must then deliver these shipments to three other megaships: the Musashi in the Delphi system, the [[Bright Sentinel]] in the Maia system, and the Glorious Prospect in the Merope system. It is crucial that all deliveries are made by early on Tuesday the 14th of December. Without these components, Salvation's superweapons will not be able to affect enough Thargoid vessels to turn the tide." Commodore Halloran was formerly a member of the [[Alliance Defence Force]], and was in charge of protecting the first expedition to the [[Coalsack Nebula]] in 3306. She is one of hundreds of naval officers and crew from all three superpowers who have resigned their commissions to offer their services to Salvation, believing that only he can defeat the Thargoids.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61b2004bb01f6418d158f6f9 GalNet: Support Salvation's Counterstrike Against the Thargoids]</ref>
