The '''Snake Sector species''' is an unidentified [[species]] of predatory, subterranean-dwelling insectoids native to the moon Snake Sector GW-W c1-1 AB 5 b in the Snake Sector GW-W c1-1 system. They are described as spider-like, but with more legs, solid white colouration, a lamprey-like mouth, and a body size comparable to a human fist. They also live in swarms of hundreds, possess rapid movement, and consider all other heat-producing lifeforms to be prey.

The unnamed species was first encountered by the researchers of [[Holloway Bioscience Research Facility 15]] in 3255. Logs recovered from a mercenary unit's ill-fated investigation of the facility revealed that the facility's waste heat had attracted the creatures, which emerged from their enclosed, underground ecosystem through melted sub-surface ice and killed the researchers, and then most of the mercenaries who were sent to check on the researchers. Some mercenaries survived by deactivating the facility's power centre, which caused the creatures to retreat underground from the cold and then re-froze the passage to the surface.

The [[Holloway Bioscience Institute]] refused to comment on rumours of the species' existence after independent pilots rediscovered Holloway Bioscience Research Facility 15 in late 3307.

10 NOV 3307
*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>A distress call has led independent pilots to locate an abandoned settlement in the Snake Sector GW-W c1-1 system. The SOS was initially detected by one of the [[megaship]]s that form the [[Colonia Bridge]], inspiring many ships to search nearby systems. The source was eventually identified as [[Holloway Bioscience Research Facility 15]] on the moon Snake Sector GW-W c1-1 AB 5 b. Pilots unearthed a series of mission logs recorded in the year 3255 by a freelance military unit named Excalibur Troop. As yet, the contents of these logs have not been made available to [[newsfeed]]s. [[Aanya Gupta]], CEO of the [[Holloway Bioscience Institute]], gave a statement to the press: "Research Facility 15 was one of the first wave of planetary survey laboratories established by our founder, the esteemed scientist Lord [[Roland Holloway]]. Our records of these settlements are patchy, so we are grateful that this has been located. Unfortunately, we can find no data regarding Excalibur Troop or the circumstances under which they were contracted. Our investigative teams are on-site to gather further information." The Holloway Bioscience Institute refused to comment on rumours that a previously unidentified life form had been encountered by the research facility's original crew.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61840b10021ec03b354bbc22 GalNet: Long-Lost Research Facility Discovered]</ref>
29 OCT 3307
*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>Thirty [[megaships]] have been placed between the [[Core Systems|core systems]] and the [[Colonia Region|Colonia region]] to serve as stationary ports. Twenty-five dockable megaships were sent out from the Alcor system toward [[Colonia]], taking position in systems approximately 400 to 500 light years apart. Five further megaships have been established from the direction of the Colonia system. Each vessel serves as a permanent way station for travellers and businesses, designed to improve the [[Colonia Connection Highway|journey to and from Colonia]]. A variety of services are provided, including [[tritium]] refuelling for [[Drake-Class Carrier|Drake-class fleet carriers]]. The [[Colonia Bridge]] is the product of [[Brewer Corporation]], which ran a highly successful deliveries campaign to collect resources. The [[Mega Corporation|megacorp]] has confirmed that phase two of this project will commence next week. During the creation of the Colonia Bridge, the crew aboard the stationary megaship Memories of Oresrati in the Snake Sector OD-S b4-2 system reported an unusual incident. A [[Holloway Bioscience Research Facility 15|distorted transmission]] that could have been an SOS was detected on long-range sensors. Although they were unable to triangulate its source, the signal strength suggested a point of origin within 50 light years.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/617be35715545423a71b62de GalNet: Initial Stage of Colonia Bridge Operational]</ref>
