'''Gan Romero''' is a starship technician who worked on hangar service teams at Fort Dixon, [[Vega]]. On April 25, 3305, he inexplicably stole a [[Diamondback Explorer]] owned by Commander Bjorn Lennox from its hangar. Authorities | '''Gan Romero''' is a starship technician who worked on hangar service teams at Fort Dixon, [[Vega]]. On April 25, 3305, he inexplicably stole a [[Diamondback Explorer]] owned by Commander Bjorn Lennox from its hangar. Authorities were unable to determine how Romero breached the ship, launched it, and quietly departed Fort Dixon without authorization, or why the previously law-abiding technician committed the theft and left behind his family. It is speculated that Romero was compelled by vivid dreams to steal the ship in order to travel to a distant, unknown location. The official investigation into the theft was suspended on May 31, 3305, and Romero remains missing. | ||
On the 16th Aug 2019 [[Frontier Developments]] confirmed the Gan Romero storyline was not represented in-game, and was always an off-camera narrative.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/galnet-changes.519008/post-7949883 Frontier Forums: GalNet changes, post #256]</ref> | |||

*The investigation into technician Gan Romero, who stole a docked vessel from a hangar bay at Fort Dixon in the Vega system, has been officially suspended. Security Chief Misaki Sanders made this statement: "Apart from the remains of Romero’s dream journal, we have no leads and have exhausted all avenues of inquiry. Attempts to track down the stolen ship have returned empty-handed. Until more evidence surfaces, we must reluctantly abandon our efforts." Commander Bjorn Lennox, the owner of the stolen ship, commented: "Obviously I'm not happy about losing my Diamondback Explorer, and I've had to fight for the station's insurance to cover my losses. Still, part of me wonders if my ship was stolen for a reason… It was fitted for exploration with a high jump range, and it sounds like this guy was heading somewhere really far away. They said Romero was delusional, right? Well, maybe he was just invited to a place that most people can't understand. I guess we'll never know."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5cf14a33ea6a673f9443871c GalNet: Ship Thief Mystery Remains Unsolved]</ref> | |||

*There has been much speculation about starship technician Gan Romero, whose dreams are believed to have directed him to steal a ship from a starport hangar. On the Rewired network, independent journalist [[Flint Lafosse|Flint "Firemaker" Lafosse]] offered this analysis: "Romero's dream journal entries were very similar to [[Jasmina Halsey]]'s visions after the [[Starship One]] incident three years ago. Was this lowly grease monkey in touch with the same 'caretakers of our galaxy' that Halsey claims spoke to her? Sure, it could be coincidence. Maybe even a shared psychological disorder. But it seems possible that Halsey and Romero were telepathically contacted by the same incorporeal intelligence. You can see why they might want to talk to a [[President of the Federation|Federal president]]. But a starport technician? What's so special about Romero? If he's telling the truth then who knows how many more ordinary people have heard these summons from 'bodiless voices' over the years?"<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5ce65512b22e87324244c4d5 GalNet: Ship Thief Linked to Halsey's Visions]</ref> | *There has been much speculation about starship technician Gan Romero, whose dreams are believed to have directed him to steal a ship from a starport hangar.

*The individual responsible for stealing a docked Diamondback Explorer in the Vega system has been identified. Fort Dixon Security Chief, Misaki Sanders, told the media: "We have determined that Commander Bjorn Lennox's vessel was stolen by a starship technician, who evidently acted alone without backup. The technician, Gan Romero, has worked at Fort Dixon as a member of the hanger service teams for the past eleven years. He has a stable home life on the station with a wife and three children, with no criminal record. Although Romero's job gave him access to landing pads, it does not explain his ability to bypass ship security protocols or launch without authorisation. We have yet to determine his motive or destination. The scope of our investigation is widening and we hope to know more soon."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5cc9681a2e7196748044dc8d GalNet: Docked Ship Thief Identified]</ref> | *The individual responsible for stealing a docked Diamondback Explorer in the Vega system has been identified.

*An independent | *An independent pilot's ship has been stolen from a starport hangar in the Vega system. The ship's owner, Commander Bjorn Lennox, told [[Vox Galactica]]: "I'd docked my Diamondback Explorer at Fort Dixon for some routine maintenance, and to enjoy a short break following a deep space exploration voyage. When I went back to the landing pad I discovered the hangar was empty and my ship had gone missing!" The starport issued a statement from Security Chief Misaki Sanders: "We are at a loss to explain how the thief managed to hijack our security network, gain entry to a docked and sealed ship, and override authorisation checks to fly out of the station unchallenged. Nearby systems have been alerted and we are collecting leads to track down the stolen vessel. In the meantime, we are conducting an inquiry into how these breaches of docking bay protocols could have occurred."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5cc170e792262d47a27c4964 GalNet: Ship Stolen from Starport]</ref> | ||
