Interstellar Initiative: Difference between revisions

Interstellar Initiatives consist of multiple week-long phases, with each phase presenting an activity, such as a poll or Community Goal, that advances the overall narrative and can offer various rewards. The outcome of each phase can change the direction of the narrative and affect which rewards are given.

As an example, the first Interstellar Initiative, "Bridging the Gap", ran from April 29, 3305 to May 30, 3305, and featured four phases.

**April 29, 3305 - May 6, 3305

**Pilots were invited by Zende Partners of the [[Zende]] system to vote for one of [https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/bridging-the-gap-phase-one-candidate-systems.510392/ five candidate systems] with [[Guardian Structure]]s to serve as the terminus for a weekly [[Megaship]] ferry service and host an [[outpost]].

**[[Synuefe EN-H d11-96]], candidate system #3, won the poll.

**On May 9, 3305, the Megaships [[The Conduit (Megaship)|The Conduit]] and [[Sadler's Song]] were deployed for the ferry service. Synuefe EN-H d11-96 also gained an outpost, The Prospect, and an [[installation]], Aion Span. In addition, a second outpost was built in [[Wregoe XQ-L c21-29]] as a rest stop.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/bridging-the-gap-phase-one-results.511161/ Frontier Forums: Bridging the Gap - Phase One - Results]</ref>

*Phase Two: Guardian Commodities Community Goal<ref name="BTGO">[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/bridging-the-gap-overview-of-phases.511452/ Frontier Forums: Bridging the Gap - Overview of Phases]</ref>

**May 16, 3305 - May 23, 3305

**Zende Partners hosted a [[Community Goals|Community Goal]] at The Prospect to collect [[Guardian]] [[Commodities]] to unlock a Guardian [[Technology Broker]] there.

*Phase Three: Conflict Community Goal<ref name="BTGO" /><ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/bridging-the-gap-phase-three.512741/ Frontier Forums: Bridging the Gap - Phase Three]</ref>

**May 23, 3305 - May 29, 3305

**Zende Partners and Segnen Exchange went to war over control of Synuefe EN-H d11-96 and the ferry service. Each side offered a unique weapon module as an incentive for supporting it: the Advanced Missile Rack for Segnen Exchange, and the [[Advanced Multi-cannon]] for Zende Partners. Both modules use normal ammunition by default, but AX ammo can be [[Synthesis|Synthesized]] for them on the fly. The winner of the conflict will begin manufacturing their module for sale and retain or gain control of the ferry service.

**Zende Partners triumphed in the conflict.

*Phase Four: Conclusion<ref name="BTGO" /><ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/index.php?threads/bridging-the-gap-conclusion.513290/ Frontier Forums: Bridging the Gap - Conclusion]</ref>

**May 30, 3305

**Zende Partners began manufacturing and distributing the [[Advanced Multi-cannon]] for sale at its controlled stations. Zende Partners also seized control of Indigo Dock, and prevented Segnen Exchange from moving the ferry service to the Segnen system. Segnen Exchange retreated from Synuefe EN-H d11-96 and its plans for the Advanced Missile Rack were set back.

*Interstellar Initiatives were added with the [[April Update]] on April 23, 2019.
