'''Carter Armstrong''' is a chief administrator with Aegis Core, a division of [[Aegis]] based in [[Sol]] that oversees operations within the [[Core Systems]]. In June 3304, when Aegis Core was still based in [[Socho]], Armstrong coordinated a campaign to gather materials to repair Core Systems [[starport]]s that had been damaged by the [[Thargoid]]s in the course of the [[Second Thargoid War]]. In September 3307, during the independent inquiry into Aegis's conduct in the [[Alexandria]] incident, Armstrong brushed off claims made by [[Salvation]] that the Thargoids were preparing to attack the Cornsar system.

14 SEP 3307
*The anonymous figure known as [[Salvation]] claims that [[Thargoid]] forces will shortly launch an assault in the Cornsar system. The following message was received by all major [[News Feed|newsfeeds]]: "This is Salvation. Authorities in the Cornsar system must evacuate the local population immediately. I believe a Thargoid invasion of the system is imminent. I became aware of this danger while developing a new interstellar xeno-detection network, which will be far superior to [[Eagle Eye]]. Although the network is not fully complete, we cannot dismiss this report as a false reading. Cornsar must act now." Carter Armstrong, a chief administrator with [[Aegis]], delivered an official statement: "Aegis cannot validate this claim. There is no indication of a Thargoid presence in the vicinity, and Cornsar is too far from their known territories to be a viable target. As most of our operations are suspended due to the public inquiry, we cannot dedicate any resources to investigate further." There was also a response from Marshal [[Noah Sharrow]], who governs the Cornsar system on behalf of the Allied Cornsar Constitution Party: "We have no interest in the games of one-upmanship between Aegis and Salvation. Nor do we believe for a moment that the Thargoids would go out of their way to harass us."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61408df89acf3a3f20259c31 GalNet: Salvation Warns of Thargoid Strike]</ref>

*Three [[starport]]s attacked and damaged by [[Thargoid]] forces have now been restored to full functionality. Carter Armstrong, chief administrator with [[Aegis|Aegis Core]], told the press: "When we requested help to repair Thargoid-hit starports, we hoped the galactic community would be generous, but they exceeded our expectations. A colossal influx of materials has enabled us to repair two stations in the [[Core Systems|core systems]] in record time. I'm pleased to announce that Armstrong Enterprise in the Bhal system and Beaufoy Vision in the Nauni system are now open for business. Keeping these starports operable allows us to honour those who lost their lives in the Thargoid attacks. Enormous thanks to everyone who participated." Senior Engineer [[Lilith Galloway]] of Aegis Research, who coordinated a parallel project, released a similar statement: "Here in the [[Pleiades Nebula|Pleiades]], survival is never guaranteed. But Reed's Rest in [[Merope]] has endured, thanks to the galactic community's incredible support. This is what we do when things get tough – we rebuild and come back stronger." All three starports are now fully operational and providing a range of services.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5b2a5279ac998e523f1173f6 GalNet: Starports Recover from Thargoid Strikes]</ref>

*The campaign by [[Aegis|Aegis Core]] to fund the refurbishment of [[starport]]s in the [[Core Systems|core systems]] has now ended. A large quantity of construction materials were delivered to Dantec Enterprise. Carter Armstrong, chief administrator for the project, announced his thanks: "The galactic community has really pulled through for us. These materials will be put to good use in repairing the damage caused by [[Thargoid]] attacks. We'll soon have these starports restored and offering the high-quality services you'd expect." Pilots who made deliveries for this initiative can now collect their rewards from Dantec Enterprise in the [[Socho]] system.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5b194481f986f473cb0b8877 GalNet: Starport Repair Initiative Concludes]</ref>
01 JUN 3304
*Following [[Thargoid]] strikes on the fringes of the [[Core Systems|core systems]], a new initiative to restore damaged [[starport]]s has been announced. Chief administrator Carter Armstrong spoke on behalf of [[Aegis|Aegis Core]], which is coordinating the campaign: "We've set up this fund to reassure citizens that normality will continue, no matter what. I would like to appeal to the galactic community to restore services in the core systems to their previously high standard." An open order has been placed for construction materials, which will be shipped to the affected starports and used to make repairs. Pilots are asked to make their deliveries to Dantec Enterprise in the [[Socho]] system. The campaign begins on the 31st of May 3304 and will run for one week. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5b100e864a79e01efe4d0ce2 GalNet: Starport Repair Initiative Announced]</ref>
