Commodore '''Morag Halloran''' is a former officer of the [[Alliance Defence Force]] who became [[Salvation]]'s military coordinator. In late 3306, she oversaw security arrangements for the [[Alliance]]'s expedition to the [[Coalsack Nebula]] and the colonies subsequently established there. After Salvation successfully tested his [[anti-xeno superweapon]] in the Cornsar system in September 3307, Commodore Halloran resigned her commission to join the mysterious scientist, whom she and many other military officers and ship crewmen from the three superpowers believed was humanity's only hope to defeat the [[Thargoid]]s. She was given command of the [[Taurus Mining Ventures]] [[Wells-class Carrier]] '''''Musashi''''', which was deployed to [[Delphi]] in December 3307 to build one of three additional anti-xeno superweapons as part of "Operation Tri-hammer".

Halloran was killed in August 9 of 3308 in [[HIP 22460]], when the [[Anti-xeno superweapon|Proteus Wave]] backfired and the Thargoids destroyed the [[Bright Sentinel]]. Her remains were found 17 days later, floating among the debris of the bridge.

'''Report from HIP 22460: ‘Salvation is Dead’''' 
25 AUG 3308
*It has been confirmed that [[Salvation]], figurehead of [[Azimuth Biotech]] and creator of the [[Anti-xeno superweapon|Proteus Wave]], was killed on board the Bright Sentinel. A segment of a transmission by an [[independent]] rescue team within HIP 22460 was shared with [[Vox Galactica]] by an anonymous source. The team was reporting back to the Musashi [[megaship]], which has now returned to the T Tauri system. “Captain Qadir, this is Drummond. You’re not paying us well enough to be in this hellhole. There are [[Thargoid|Thargoids]] everywhere we turn. But we’ve found out what you wanted to know. It’s not good news.” “We finally managed to get close to the wreck of the Bright Sentinel, near where the bridge used to be. Bodies were drifting among the twisted metal, but fewer than we expected. We identified some of the command crew, including [[Morag Halloran|Commodore Halloran]]. But even before we got a positive ID scan, I recognised [[Salvation|Dr Wycherley]] immediately. Nobody else could possibly look so old.” “He was still in his command chair, surrounded by shattered fragments of cybernetic implants, his portable medical sensors dormant. Despite his shredded and broken body, his eyes were frozen open. I reached out to close them, but a Thargoid interceptor suddenly warped in and we had to race back to our ship.” “I’m uploading all our data now, but I’m sorry to report that our primary target was not recoverable. Salvation is dead.” Azimuth Biotech has confirmed that it employed freelance specialists to locate any surviving personnel from the Proteus Wave project, and that their findings were believed to be accurate. No further statement has yet been made.

'''Azimuth Claims ‘Thargoid Doomsday’ Imminent''' 
08 AUG 3308
*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots' Federation ALERT* [[Salvation|Salvation’s]] [[anti-xeno superweapon]] is now complete and final preparations are underway in the [[HIP 22460]] system. Commodore [[Morag Halloran]], [[Azimuth Biotech|Azimuth Biotech’s]] military coordinator, broadcast this announcement from the [[Bright Sentinel]] megaship: “Salvation has confirmed that the Proteus Wave core mechanism is fully active. Calibration inside the Thargoid structure on the surface of HIP 22460 10b has successfully concluded. Power sources derived from [[Guardian]] designs are building to the required levels, and a final series of safety checks are currently underway.” “Upon detonation, the energy pulse generated by the Proteus Wave will cause catastrophic disruption to all [[Thargoid]] biomechanical technology within range. Every alien vessel in HIP 22460 will immediately cease to function. Salvation predicts that the wide-ranging impact of the superweapon will drive all Thargoids out of the core systems. In practical terms, tomorrow will be their doomsday.” “This is the culmination of years of research, coupled with Salvation’s revolutionary technology. The project could not have been realised without the military support of the [[Alliance]], [[Empire]] and [[Federation]]. Azimuth is also grateful to those pilots who delivered vital materials and risked their lives to hold back the Thargoid fleet. Take pride in the knowledge that your courage and dedication will help bring an end to the Second Thargoid War.” The superpowers’ anti-xeno taskforces have sent out urgent calls for emergency support to prevent Thargoid forces from attacking the Proteus Wave site in these critical final hours.

18 FEB 3308
*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots' Federation ALERT* [[Commander]]s are resisting [[Thargoid]] [[incursion]]s in the Dan, HIP 12314 and Nauni systems. Although [[Aegis]] support vessels have been repurposed to offer support in all three systems, the organisation remains officially disbanded. It has fallen to individual pilots to defend the populations from swarms of Thargoid vessels. The [[Alliance Defence Force]], [[Federal Navy]] and [[Imperial Navy]] all intend to replace Aegis with their own anti-xeno taskforces, but these have yet to materialise. This was remarked upon by independent journalist [[Flint Lafosse|Flint 'Firemaker' Lafosse]]: "We've got the [[Alliance]] trying to sell its own people to [[Sirius Corporation]], the [[Empire]] somehow misplacing its own [[Emperor]], and the [[Federation]] being torn to pieces by its crazy [[President of the Federation|president]]… who's got time to worry about Thargoids? I'll tell you who: the civilians in the systems they're invading! Our so-called leaders are praying that [[Salvation]] will step in and save the day, but he could be an alien himself for all we know!" Commodore Morag Halloran, who serves as Salvation's military coordinator, was approached by [[Vox Galactica]] to comment on his strategy for combating the latest Thargoid activity: "Salvation is currently focused on further development of the [[anti-xeno superweapon]]. At present this is the most efficient use of his time and resources, rather than small-scale engagement. Rest assured that, before long, we shall take the fight to the Thargoids once more."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/620e85f01e39f1100f320134 GalNet: Pilots Form Vanguard Against Thargoid Attacks]</ref>
17 DEC 3307
*The recent counterstrike against the [[Thargoid]]s has revealed that [[Salvation]] is being unofficially supported by trained military personnel. Commodore Morag Halloran was a senior officer with the [[Alliance Defence Force]] who is now working for Salvation. She sent this statement to the media: "Over the last few years, I have fought hard to protect [[Alliance|Allied]] interests from the Thargoids. But every battle against them felt like a defensive measure, a holding action. I'm convinced that these creatures are more than capable of wiping us all out. When an entire Thargoid fleet was forced out of the Cornsar system in September, I approached the [[Council of Admirals]] about sending ships to help, but my proposal was rejected. Then Salvation contacted me directly, saying that he required military leadership and my experiences in the [[Coalsack Nebula]] made me an ideal candidate. Along with Lieutenant Commander Glynn and nearly a hundred crewmates, we resigned our commissions and headed for Hind Mine. I now command many others who were recruited from the [[Federation|Federal]], [[Empire|Imperial]] and [[Sirius Corporation|Sirius]] Navies to serve on the [[Taurus Mining Ventures|Taurus]] [[megaship]]s and elsewhere. I'm aware that some will view my actions as dereliction of duty, but I believe our true duty is to stop the Thargoids at any cost. And as our recent success proves, only Salvation has the means of doing so." The [[Alliance Assembly]], [[Federal Congress]] and [[Imperial Senate]] have all acknowledged the loss of some military personnel to Salvation's cause. While efforts are being made to prevent further losses, it is rumoured that potential concessions include official support for Salvation's anti-xeno activities.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61bc5e0718b2020b9f31b3db GalNet: Salvation Recruits Naval Crews]</ref>
15 DEC 3307
*[[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. Commodore Halloran coordinated the operation with military precision, and many loyal pilots acted swiftly to provide [[Classified Experimental Equipment|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* [[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|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* [[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|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>
10 DEC 3306
*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT* Explorers have catalogued many ammonia worlds for a Sirius Atmospherics [[terraforming]] project in the [[Coalsack Nebula]]. The subsidiary of [[Sirius Corporation]] is one of several companies that are working in partnership with the [[Alliance]] to commercially exploit the region. Project director Dr [[Maximilian North]] announced the successful completion of the initiative: "The data provided on planets with ammonia-based atmospheres will be invaluable to our terraforming simulations. With our new environmental techniques, some of these poisonous worlds within the nebula may one day become habitable." Sirius Atmospherics has confirmed that payouts for all contributing pilots are now available at Betancourt Base in the Musca Dark Region PJ-P b6-1 system. As the expansion into the Coalsack Nebula progresses, Commodore Morag Halloran of the [[Alliance Defence Force]] commented on the possibility of further attacks from the [[Thargoid]]s: "Anti-xeno security is not as stringent as we had planned, due to the low availability of ADF vessels and [[Aegis]] being impacted by [[Federation|Federal]] and [[Empire|Imperial]] defunding. It may be necessary to call upon the galactic community again, should we encounter further interference from the Thargoids."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5fd20dbbb6bd4f1bad5c0af2 GalNet: Coalsack Nebula Project Gathers Ammonia Worlds Data]</ref>
17 NOV 3306
*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT* An [[Alliance]] initiative has successfully prepared the [[Coalsack Nebula]] for exploitation and reduced the [[Thargoid]]s' presence. [[Trader]]s delivered shipments of [[Power Generators|power generators]], [[robotics]], [[Structural Regulators|structural regulators]] and [[Building Fabricators|building fabricators]], which will be used to help construct several new facilities in the region. The quantity of commodities received will result in construction of the following for the 26th of November 3306: Betancourt Base Starport in the Musca Dark Region PJ-P b6-1 system. Additional services: [[Interstellar Factor|Interstellar factor]], human [[Technology Broker|technology broker]], encoded [[Material Trader|material trader]], extended range of Multi-purpose ships. Cole Point Starport in the CoalSack Sector VU-O B6-6 system. Additional services: Interstellar factor, raw material trader, extended range of Multi-purpose ships and mining equipment, [[Drake-Class Carrier|fleet carrier administration]]. Hannu Arena Starport in the Musca Dark Region IM-V C2-24 system. Additional services: Interstellar factor, range of combat ships and weapons. Bering Port Starport in the CoalSack Sector KN-S B4-9 system. Additional services: Interstellar factor, improved outfitting options, manufactured material trader. Commodore Morag Halloran of the [[Alliance Defence Force]] delivered an update on the security procedures: "Our efforts to clear the systems of Thargoid vessels were hugely boosted by independent pilots. Their skills have enabled our transports to travel to the nebula in relative safety." The Alliance is collaborating with several corporations to investigate the Coalsack Nebula for commercial and scientific sites of interest.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5fb3df3febf97257d65b75e6 GalNet: Coalsack Nebula Campaign Completes Initial Stages]</ref>
12 NOV 3306
*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT* Commodities and anti-xeno support are requested as the [[Alliance]] begins exploitation of the [[Coalsack Nebula]]. The Alliance plans to construct several new outposts in the Coalsack Nebula. From these, commercial and scientific operations will be conducted to locate fresh sources of [[Meta-Alloys|meta-alloys]] and other potential sites of interest. The initiative was prompted by the findings of a [[Geological Survey 23B|planetary survey team]] two hundred years ago, which were only discovered after an [[Adamastor|abandoned megaship]] arrived in the Chukchan system. Shipments of [[Power Generators|power generators]], [[robotics]], [[Structural Regulators|structural regulators]] and [[Building Fabricators|building fabricators]] are required, and can be delivered to the megaship Spirit of Nysa in the Musca Dark Region PJ-P b6-1 system. The more commodities that are supplied, the more outposts will be upgraded to starports and the greater the range of services they will offer. Commodore Morag Halloran of the [[Alliance Defence Force]] discussed security arrangements: "We anticipate a heavy [[Thargoid]] presence within the Coalsack Nebula. Therefore it is a strategic necessity that we act now to curtail the threat to future exploration. Independent pilots and anti-xeno squadrons can serve the Alliance by focusing their efforts on the Coalsack Sector KN-S b4-9, Coalsack Sector VU-O b6-6, Musca Dark Region IM-V c2-24 and Musca Dark Region PJ-P b6-1 systems, which will host the new structures."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5fad30af5a969760ae1f0575 GalNet: Alliance Launches Coalsack Nebula Campaign]</ref>
