 *February 15 - The Hudson Contravention, President Zachary Hudson's proposal to remove the limit on his term in office by repealing the 77th amendment of the Federal Accord, generates significant controversy in the Federation. While it is backed by Hudson's Cabinet and other leading Republicans, former presidents Jasmina Halsey and Antonia Madison condemn the proposal as unconstitutional and authoritarian. Shadow President Felicia Winters is expected to call for a vote of no confidence, and analysts believe Hudson is unlikely to survive such a vote.
 *February 16 - Emperor Arissa Lavigny-Duval marks her return to Capitol with a public ceremony in Trasken Square attended by millions of citizens. The Emperor thanks her loyal supporters and declares she will punish everyone involved in the Lords of Restoration plot. Official statements from the Imperial Palace also recognise the efforts of Princess Aisling Duval, ACT, and independent pilots in helping to free Arissa and destroy the NMLA.
+*February 17 - Colonia Bridge phase four enters its second week. This initiative requests commodities in order to install Pioneer Supplies, Crew Lounge, and Search and Rescue services in the six Colonia Bridge starports.
+*February 17 - The Empire declares Darkwater Inc a hostile military target for its role in Emperor Arissa's abduction. Reports indicate the PMC's leader, Colonel Ronan Brock, attempted an unsuccessful takeover of the Summerland system as a defensive measure after ACT exposed the Lords of Restoration, and as a result, all Darkwater contractors have been branded criminals by system authorities. The Empire arranges for Summerland's permit restrictions to be lifted for three weeks so independent pilots can assist in Darkwater Inc's total eradication.
+*February 18 - Independent pilots spearhead anti-Thargoid efforts in Dan, HIP 12314, and Nauni. The superpowers' anti-xeno taskforces remain works in progress, and journalist Flint "Firemaker" Lafosse opines that the superpowers are so mired in internal crises at the moment that their real plan is to leave the Thargoid problem entirely to Salvation and his anti-xeno superweapon.
+*February 21 - ACT releases additional information gleaned from Omega Grid about a plot by the Lords of Restoration to frame Hadrian Augustus Duval as the leader of the NMLA in April 3307, which involved using a virtual doppelganger of Hadrian to send orders to NMLA allies such as Landgrave Arastin Delacroix. Devised by Senator Ursula Torquatus, the plan's purpose was to weaken public trust in the Imperial Family, but it largely failed. Months later, the Lords had the NMLA attack Paresa in an attempt to kill Hadrian and Lady Astrid Minerva-Duval before their son Hector could be born, but other senators then moved Hadrian's family out of reach. ACT's findings clear the names of Hadrian and Lady Astrid.
+*February 22 - Shadow President Felicia Winters leads protests across the Federation against the Hudson Contravention as Federal Congress debates the proposal. The Federal Times points out that moderate Republican voters are wary of President Zachary Hudson's attempt to repeal the 77th amendment to the Federal Accord because it would deny them the chance to support other rising Republican leaders for the presidency, including Vice President Jerome Archer, Secretary of State Lana Berkovich, and Grand Attorney Edwin Espinosa.
+*February 24 - The Empire's reprisal operation against Darkwater Inc concludes. Colonel Ronan Brock is killed by Imperial auxiliaries when he attempts to flee the megaship Onyx Storm. Darkwater's elimination also means the end of any further large-scale NMLA threat. The Empire establishes a new faction, The Praetorian Vigil, in Summerland that will report directly to the Emperor.
+*February 24 - Colonia Bridge phase four enters its third week. The previous week's initiative was mostly successful, but commodity shortages in the Colonia Region mean one of the six Colonia Bridge starports, Promium Relay in Eoch Flyuae QK-E d12-2118, will not receive Pioneer Supplies, Crew Lounge, or Search and Rescue services. The week three initiative requests commodities in order to install Material Trader, Bartender, and Mission services in the starports.
+*February 25 - Councillor Nakato Kaine motions to censure Prime Minister Edmund Mahon over the Reorte debacle, which the Alliance Assembly approves by a plurality. Following the vote, Kaine delivers a speech calling for the Alliance's strategic defence pact with Sirius Corporation to be reclassified as civil legislation rather than a military contract, and she also demands that Li Yong-Rui accept these terms or withdraw Sirius forces from Alioth, Arimpox, Di Jian, and Leesti.
+==== March 3308 ====
+*March 2 - The remainder of Aegis's leadership council formally submits an appeal to reinstate the organisation so that it can counter both the Thargoids and Azimuth Biochemicals. Chief Administrator Carter Armstrong makes the case that the superpowers are too distracted by internal politics to effectively defend against the Thargoids with their separate anti-xeno taskforces or bring Azimuth to justice for the Alexandria tragedy, while a reconstituted Aegis could give both threats its full attention.
+*March 3 - The third week of Colonia Bridge phase four successfully implements Bartender and Material Trader services for the six starports, but the quota for Mission Boards is not met. The final Colonia Bridge initiative requests one last wave of deliveries to install Outfitting, Shipyard, and Technology Broker services. The initiative also presents a second opportunity to install Pioneer Supplies on Promium Relay. Participants are offered pre-Engineered Power Plants and unique ship decals as a reward.
+*March 4 - To assuage concerns about the Hudson Contravention, President Zachary Hudson delivers a speech from the White House on Mars. The president explains that the temporary suspension of the 77th amendment to the Federal Accord will simply allow him to run for another term in the 3309 presidential election, not hold office indefinitely. Federal citizens would still be free to vote for other Republican, Liberal, and third party candidates, and Hudson would not be guaranteed to win. Hudson also calls for his and Felicia Winters's supporters to refrain from further violence after clashes are reported at public demonstrations on many Federal worlds.
+*March 7 - Its mission complete, ACT is officially disbanded, though the Cornelius-Lasky Convention keeps the door open for the organisation to be reactivated should another threat on par with the NMLA appear in the future. Captain Milo Castile, Inspector Mara Klatt, Praetor Leo Magnus, and Senior Agent Tanya Ramirez are commended for their work. For her key role in exposing the Lords of Restoration, Captain Saskia Landau is awarded the Achenar Service Cross by Emperor Arissa Lavigny-Duval and given command of Imperial Intelligence.
+*March 9 - The Alliance and Sirius Corporation negotiate a three-month probationary period for their strategic defence pact. Proposed by Li Yong-Rui to smooth over tensions caused by the Reorte incident, this trial is intended to allow Sirius to demonstrate how it can help the Alliance protect itself from Thargoid attacks, and when it concludes, the Alliance Assembly can decide whether or not to continue the partnership. Councillor Ainsley Niven warns that even this concession may not be enough to persuade some Alliance systems to cooperate with Sirius.
+*March 10 - The Colonia Bridge project comes to a triumphant conclusion as services are added to its six starports. Brewer Corporation CEO Madelyn Teague releases a personal message of thanks to the pilots who made the project possible, and reiterates that the names of the most dedicated contributors will be recorded in beacons placed in the Colonia and Alcor systems.
+*March 11 - On Emperor Arissa Lavigny-Duval's orders, cohorts of the Imperial Guard are assigned to Princess Aisling Duval, Archduke Otto Lombardo-Duval, Lucretia Roche-Duval, Admiral Lucius Lavigny, and Countess Guinevere Lavigny. The measure is taken to ensure the survival of the Duval dynasty in the wake of the NMLA's assassination of multiple Duvals and Lavignys. Hadrian Duval declines the Emperor's offer, explaining that he trusts his personal Praetorian Guard to provide security for himself and his son.
+*March 14 - The Reorte Mining Coalition threatens to withdraw Reorte from the Alliance in protest of the Alliance-Sirius strategic defence pact. CEO Fergus Cassidy accuses Sirius Corporation of arranging the pact's probationary period solely to give itself time to pressure Alliance officials into assenting to the pact. Councillor Ainsley Niven reports that the Reorte Mining Coalition considers leaving the Alliance less of a risk than allowing Sirius Corp a foothold in Reorte. This development undermines the pact and prompts speculation that other Alliance members may seek independence.
+*March 17 - Federal authorities requested help in hunting down a pirate gang in the Gliese 868 system. The controlling faction Gliese 868 Services released a statement saying that recent Federal security services have been focused on dealing with political protests and this focus allowed criminals to cause havoc through raiding trade convoys and acts of piracy throughout the region. They announce that they have initiated a campaign using Congressional funding to destroy all wanted vessels within the Gliese 868 system. Independent pilots are asked to help the authorities eliminate the criminal thread. Gliese 868 Secretary of State Lana Berkovich stated to the press that the Hudson Contravention had generated a lot of high-running feelings on both sides, but regrettably the Gliese 868 Congress must make an example of the pirates to deter criminality. The pirate hunting campaign is expected to run through 24th March 3308.
+*March 18 - The megaship Trobairitz arrived in the Reorte system to support the efforts of the Reorte Pro-Alliance League. After the recent expulsion of the Sirius Corporation from Reorte and refusal to accept the strategic defense pact, there have been proposals by the controlling faction to renounce its membership in the Alliance and declare independence. These proposals have catalyzed others to campaign for Reorte to instead remain in the Alliance.  Louisa Leblanc, chief administrator of the Reorte Pro-Alliance League, said in an interview to the Alliance Tribune that the proposed partnership with Sirius Corporation is restricted to increasing defenses against the Thargoids and that this will not be disruptive enough to justify losing the Alliance membership benefits they currently enjoy. The Reorte Pro-Alliance League announced they are supported by the Alioth Independents faction and that the Trobairitz megaship had been supplied to them, serving as their center of campaign operations. Sirius Corporation's official statement was that this situation is an internal matter for the Alliance, though the Sirius delegates have been briefed on the situation.
+*March 21 - Various Imperial allies, ambassadors, and nobles were summoned to Capitol for a series of meetings with Emperor Arissa Lavigny-Duval. The event was meant to reassure the citizens of the Emperor's physical presence and court ceremonies were held to reaffirm the loyalty of all attendees to Emperor Arissa with as much spectacle and grandeur as possible. Outside of the public eye, Arissa's closed sessions with the Imperial Diplomatic Corps briefed the Emperor on recent developments. One notable attendee was Prime Consul Kayode Tau of the Marlinist Consulate, of the Marlinist Colonies.
+*March 23 - The megaships Musashi and Heart of Taurus entered the Synuefe CE-R c21-6 system to perform a mining-related research operation. Taurus Mining Ventures, an independent mning corporation closely associated with Salvation, has acted as his intermediary in recent months and directly supporting his efforts to combat the Thargoids. Head of Research for Taurus, Dr Ruben Carpenter, provided a statement saying that Taurus has recorded some unuual radioactive signatures in the Synuefe CE-r c21-6 system, transforming their understanding of molecular structures of certain naturally occurring substances. Carpenter announced further that their obective was to perform detailed analyses of the irradiated materials to determine their value as mineable resources.
+*March 24 - The situation in Reorte deteroriates further as pro-independence factions clash with pro-Alliance factions, with rival initiatives in place to decide Reorte's future affiliation. The system's controlling faction wishes to declare independence for Reorte in protest of Sirius Corporation's proposed anti-xeno defense pact with the Alliance Defense Force. Reorte Mining Coalition's CEO Fergus Cassidy gave a statement criticizing Alliance Prime Minister Mahon for working with Sirius, and calls for independent pilots to deliver shipments of advanced medicines, skimmer components, and building fabricators to Davies High starport in support of their independence ambitions. Rival faction Reorte Pro-Alliance League also gave a statement promoting the danger and instability of severing ties with the Alliance and called for deliveries of the same components to their megaship Trobairitz.
+*March 25 - The Gliese 868 pirate hunting operation comes to a conclusion. The Federation Navy auxiliaries worked with independent pilots to drive the pirates back. The Federal Times reported the repercussions of this operation, publishing that the security agencies of the system were embarassed to have to rely on amateur volunteers to protect trade in Gliese 868, leading for fresh demands that President Hudson's proposal to repeal the 77th amendment must be negotiated peacefully without causing civil disturbance.
+*March 28 - Taurus Mining Ventures announces details for their new mining initiative in the Synuefer CE-R c21-6 system. Ruben Carpenter, head of the TMV Research Division, provided an update saying the source of radiation in the system has not yet been identified. Current theories are that naturally occurring ores in the systems may have altered properties but if correct, the ore may have a high commercial value after being processed into usable metals and materials. Commodore Morag Halloran issued a statement reiterating the need for maintaining positive relations with independent pilots and therefore, Taurus will subcontract the upcomining mining operation to the Pilots' Federation.
+*March 29 - Emperor Arissa Lavigny-Duval announced plans for reconnecting the Marlinist Colonies to the Empire. Prime Consul Kayode Tau reported the idea is to grant Imperial protectorate status to the Marlinist Colonies in exchange for swearing allegiance to the Empire. Details include local government autonomy, Imperial Navy and security agency presences, trade investment with Empire-based companies, and new channels of transportation and communication being opened. The Marlinist Parliament has received the proposal details and is preparing a response.
+*March 31 - The Reorte system remains with the Alliance with Reorte Pro-Alliance League's success over the Reorte Mining Coalition. Independent pilots were able to help persuade Reorte citizens that Reorte's future was more secure with the Alliance through deliveries of advanced medicines, skimmer components, and building fabricators in large quantities. Chief Administrator Louisa Leblanc celebrated the victory and thanked those who supported their goals.
+*March 31 - Taurus Mining Ventures requests help with their mining and delivery operation in Synuefe CE-R c21-6. According to Dr Ruben Carpenter, head of the company's R&D division, the initiative calls for the mining and delivery of coltan, lithium hydroxide, and methanol monohydrate crystals from sources within the system. The purpose of this initiative is to help analyze differences between materials from this system and materials from other systems to determine differences.
+==== April 3308 ====
+*April 1 - The Federal Congress temporarily postponed making a decision on whether to extend presidential term limits. President Zachary Hudson had proposed to repeal the 77th amendment of the Federal Accord which imposes a term limit of eight years maximum. Hudson delivered a statement saying he agreed that more time is needed to analyze the repercussions of the amendment and that a congressional subcommittee would perform an inquiry to investigate. The decision was welcomed by Shadow President Winters.
+*April 5 - The Marlinist Colonies will vote to accept or decline the offer to become an Imperial protectorate. The Marlin Standard summarized the situation by posing the societal question of whether the Colonies should remain an isolated republican society or to move beneath the Empire's protective wing. The Standard notes the anger of colonists about the Emperor's request, citing the hunt of NMLA and persecution of Marlinist believers. First Minister Octavia Volkov put the issue to referendum.
+*April 7 - The Taurus Mining Venture initiative in Synuefe CE-R c21-6 concludes successfully. Dr Ruben Carpenter announced that TMV had sufficiently large quantities of coltan, lithium hydroxide, and methanol monohydrate crystals had been to delivered to aid in the ongoing research. Taurus also confirmed that studies to identify the source, effects, and application of this radiation are ongoing, though scientific journal The Empirical has reiterated that these 'atypical radioactive signatures' have not been independently verified.
+*April 8 - The public referendum in the Marlinist Colonies has resulted in the majority voting to remain fully independent from the Empire. First Minister Octavia Volkox announced the referendum's result in the Marlinist Parliament, claiming a clear popular mandate for independence and a rejection of monarchy in favor of republican governance and representation. The First Minister thanked the Emperor and called upon her to recognize and respect the decision of the Marlinist Colonies.
+*April 12 - Emperor Arissa Lavigny-Duval formally recognized the results of the Marlinist Colonies referendum and released a statement citing uncomfort with democracy in the Colonies, but acknowledged that the populaation had spoken. The Empereror then stated that there was a condition to the Emperor's acceptance of the referendum and that the Marlinist Constabulary must work with the Empire's intelligence agencies to prevent any resurfance of the NMLA or similar terrorist groups. The Imperial Intelligence agency and the Marlinists would collaborate on identifying Neo-Marlinist extremists, to which the Colonies agreed. To recognize the minority who wished to rejoin the Empire, customs and citizenship arrangements are being worked on.
+*April 13 - Sirius megaships arrive in the Coalsack and Witch Head Nebulas to provide anti-xeno support as a demonstration of Sirius Corporation's military capabilities. The Song of Mecchi is stationed in the Coalsack Sector Vu-O B6-6 system, the Kandula's Truth in the Siniang system, and the Li Chyou Winds in the Onoros system.
+*April 14 - First Minister Octavia Volkov of the Marlinist Colonies called for a delivery campaign of aluminum, computer components, power generators, and titanium to be transported to Stillman Hub starport in the HIP 22550 system to aid the Marlinist Colonies in their initiaitve to construct six additional starports for the faction.
+*April 15 - Multi-billionaire Zachary Rackham discussed running for Federal president as an independent candidate in the 3309 elections. During the opening of a new superstructure named Rackham's Spire on Homeland, in the Beta Hydri system, Rackham was asked for his views on the Hudson Contravention. He hinted at running for office himself, prompting financial journalist Bryanna Blanco to write an opinion piece for The Federal Times. In this article she writes about spending half her career investigating Rackham and is unconvinced that he has pure motives, citing Rackham's former identity as Calico Zack, one of the last century's most notorious pirates, and accusing the media of ignoring his true character.
+*April 18 - The anonymous anti-xeno scientist Salvation has received further military support from the Alliance, Empire, and Federation. Official sources highlighted the increasing number of crew members from the Alliance Defense Force, Federal Navy, and the Imperial Navy choosing to temporarily serve on vessels owned by Salvation's commercial partner Taurus Mining Ventures. Salvation also received support in intelligence, logistics, security, and anti-xeno weaponry expertise. Scientific research journal The Empirical reported that no evidence of atypical radiation has been detected in the Synuefe CE-R C21-6 system, raising questions as to the purpose of Taurus Mining Venture's recent mining operations in that system.
+*April 19 - CEO Li Yong-Rui of Sirius Corporation addressed public concerns regarding its anti-xeno defense pact with the Alliance. Yong-Rui defended the decision, citing the past millennium of history and Sirius's involvement on the political stage.
+*April 21 - Construction of new Marlinist starports have begun after materials were delivered to the HIP 22550 system. Two orbital stations are under construction and expected to become operation by May 5th, 3308. First Minister Octavia Volkov marked the campaign's conclusion in a statement thanking independent pilots for their work and expressed her goals for the future of the Free Marlinists of Carinae. Prime Consul Kayode Tau has been invited to establis an office of the Marlinist Consulate on Capitol, a sign of increased diplomatic tolerance from the Emperor.
+*April 21 - Thargoid fleets invaded the Didio, Novas, and Sosong systems, putting more than ten billion lives at risk. Local security services in all three systems reported overwhelming numbers of hostile Thargoid vessels. Several starports were directly attacked with caustic enzyme weapons and the combined death toll is already in the thousands. Didio, Novas and Sosong are members of the Alliance, Empire, and Federation respectively. It will be days before the superpowers could muster a response, and therefore emergency calls for assistance to all independent pilots have been made by the factions Emperor's Grace, LTT 4772 Alliance Mandate, and Union of Sosong Democrats. With Aegis's official disbandment, its fleet is being temporarily operated by Frontline Solutions. The combat logistics corporation made the ships available with a volunteer pilot force which will support the superpowers in systems invaded by Thargoid fleets. The Allianec, Empire, and Federation are currently liasing with Salvation, whose unique weaponry proved effective against Thargoid incursions of similar magnitude.
+*April 22 - Zachary Rackham consolidates his commercial and political headquarters in the Beta Hydri system. Rackham's business owns a majority of shares in the Beta Hydri Corporation, the system's controlling faction. Rackham has already been governing the system for some months. Questions are raised if Rackham's political position in Beta Hydri paved the way for running as an independent candidate in 3309's presidential election. The Federal Times covered the story, with journalist Bryanna Blanco stating that Rackham's citizenship documents have never been made public or independent verified, and called into question whether 'Calico Zack' was even born in the Federation to begin with.
+*April 25 - Sirius Corporation vows to defend the Alliance, citing the recent Thargoid attacks in the Didio, Novas, and Sosong systems.
+*April 26 - Archon Delaine announced that pirate leader Callan Salamanca is the newest member of the Kumo Council's upper echelon.
+*April 27 - Over two million ex-Imperial citizens who sought sanctuary with the Alliance are now being repatriated to the Marlinist Colonies. The decision was welcomed by First Minister Octavia Volkov.
+*April 28 - Sirius Corporation organized humanitarian support for the Didio system, which came under attack by Thargoid vessels. The Alliance Defense Fleet is fighting the Thargoids in Didio under the command of Admiral Rachel Ziegler. Admiral Nikolas Glass, liaison between Sirius and the Alliance Defense Force, gave details of the campaign. The campaign called for large quantites of basic medicines, evacuation shelters, and food cartridges to be delivered to the megaship Chariot of Rhea in the Leesti system, where they were delivered to Didio in military convoys. Sirius was criticized for not providing similar support to Novas and Sosong systems, also invaded by Thargoids, but Sirius responded that the corporation has no obligation to those systems without an agreement with their superpowers.
+*April 28 - The Alliance, Empire, and Federation offer bounties on Thargoid vessels in the Didio, Novas, and Sosong systems. Commodore Morag Halloran, coordinator of Salvation's military forces, broadcast a message on public channels stating that Salvation has started construction of three anti-xeno superweapons to fight the Thargoids with and estimated that they would be operational in two weeks' time. Until that time, it was vital that the Thargoids be kept at bay. Independent pilots were asked to buy time for the superweapons to be completed by killing as many Thargoid vessels as possible until May 12, 3308. Each superpower also deployed a capital ship to the invaded systems: Alliance megaship Salote Charm in Didio, the Majestic-class interdictor INV Succession in Nobas, and the Farragut-class battle cruiser FNS Amphion in Sosong.
+*April 29 - Jade Sanderlyn of Vox Galactica conducts interviews with admirals of the three superpowers.
+*April 30 - Jade Sanderlyn of Vox Galactica conducts interviews with admirals of the three superpowers.
+=== May ===
+*May 1 - Jade Sanderlyn of Vox Galactica conducts interviews with admirals of the three superpowers.
+*May 2 - The Imperial Senate argues that the Marlinist Colonies should have become an Imperial protectorate to shield them against the Thargoids. Senator Arturo Durant said to The Imperial Herald that the Marlinists would regret the decision to reject Imperial protection, but it is still the duty of the Empire to defend them whether or not they grant permission to do so. First Minister Octavia Volkov replied to this statement saying that the protection was not necessary and reminded the senator that they not only retained control of their original colonies but have also expanded into over two dozen neighboring systems, fulfilling Marlin Duval's dream of forming an interstellar republic after centuries of being repressed within the Empire.
+*May 4 - Zachary Rackham is interviewed by Sol Today about his business empire, role with the Beta Hydri Corporation, his poltiical ambitions, and the claims that he was once a pirate. Rackham waved off the pirate allegations.
+*May 5 - Sirius Corporation concludes its aid campaign to the Didio system, having transported large quantities of basic medicines, evacuation shelters, and food cartridges to the megaship Chariot of Rhea in te Leesti system. The supplies were distributed to where they were most needed. The superpowers continue to reward independent pilots for destroying Thargoid vessels in the invaded systems. Salvation's anti-xeno superweapons are expected to be operational one week from today.
+*May 5 - Independent pilots were asked to collect meta-alloys as part of a wider xenological study of the Thargoids. Orchestrated by Professor Ishmael Palin, the research project's goal is to learn as much as possible about Thargoid biomechanical nature for the purpose of enhancing humanity's defenses against it. The initial phase requires fresh meta-alloys to be delivered to the James Sneddon starport in the Morten-Marte system, which also offered increased prices for any Thargoid tissue samples. Palin suggested that pilots take advantage of corrosion resistant cargo racks at the starport for the upcoming second phase of the research project over the next few weeks.
+*May 6 - Two new starports were added to Marlinist systems following a successful delivery initiative in April. The use of prebuilt infrastructures and mass-produced components allowed the orbital stations to be assembled rapidly. The starport names and locations are Fairfax Legacy in the Hyades Sector SU-C a14-1 system and Ackwada Monument in the Hyades SDector LX-T c3-30 system. The recent diplomatic arrangement that repatriated two million Marlinist refugees are being processed and granted citizenship at the new starports.
+*May 9 - Zachary Rackham achieves trillionaire status after acquiring Kavanagh Spaceframes Ltd, which constructs Orbis starports. Rackham's estate value is now approximately 1,012,000,000,000 credits.
+*May 11 - A power struggle rages inside the Kumo Crew following a coordinated effort to overthrow the syndicate's leader, Archon Delaine. Delaine was the target of an attempted assassination in conjunction with multiple simultaneous attacks across the organization. The rebellion is led by Arch-Corsair Vidar Trask, a senior member of the Kumo Council. Trask declared that the syndicate is stagnating under Delaine and that new leadership is needed.
+*May 12 - Salvation activates the three anti-xeno superweapons and the invading Thargoid fleets in the Didio, Novas, and Sosong systems were completely repelled, with all Thargoid vessels immediately retreating into hyperspace. The Thargoids seemingly had no defense against the Guardian-derived superweapons, which generate an electromagnetic pulse that disrupts the Thargoid biomechanical technology.
+*May 12 - Professor Ishmael Palin made an announcement from Abel Laboratory thanking those who collected meta-alloys and delivered them. Palin announced that phase one of the research project was complete and phase two was in planning.
+*May 12 - Entrepreneur and trillionaire Zachary Rackham requested deliveries of rare items to Edmondson High in the Beta Hydri system to celebrate becoming a trillionaire. He asked independent pilots to bring rare goods from across the Bubble and is issuing temporary permits to the Beta Hydri system to make it possible. The guest list includes politicians, media magnates, publicity gurus, and others.
+*May 13 - The Artificers Clan entered the Upaniklis system where the generation ship Golconda currently resides. There is no explanation for why the Artificers are there, and attempts to contact them got mostly no reply.
+*May 16 - The insurrection led by Arch-Corsair Vidar Trask failed to gain control of the Kumo Crew syndicate. Despite coming close to dethroning Archon Delaine, Trask's fighters were defeated. Half of the rebel fighters are a mystery in origin. Arch-Corsair Kay Volantyne, another senior member of the Kumo Council, was also declared missing and it is belived that she was killed by Trask personally. The newest inner circle member, Callan Salamana, leads Delaine's counter-attack against the insurrectionists. The surviving rebels fled to HIP 10792 and are attempting to drive out the Kumo Crew faction in that system.
+*May 19 - A party held by Zachary Rackham to celebrate becoming a trillionaire has concluded after a week. Attendees were thanked for coming.
+*May 19 - The Kumo Crew declares open war on the pirate insurrectionists that have gathered in HIP 10792 following a failed coup attempt by Arch-Corsair Vidar Trask. Archon Delaine broadcast a message vowing to crush Trask and promises to pay well to wipe out every traitor who supports him. The Kumo Council faction subsequently announced that they will reward all independent pilots who support its operation against the Trask Death Corsairs in the HIP 10792 system.
+*May 20 - Dredger clan continues to examine the abandoned generation ship Golconda in Upaniklis. The Golconda was placed in orbit around Upaniklis B 3 in 3305 when its inhabitants migrated to the nearby outpost of Forester's Choice. Over the past week there were reports of smaller craft traveling between the Artificers Clan dreder and the Golconda, but the nomadic tribe has not responded to communication attempts. The Federal Diplomatic Corp published an official reminder that Forester's Choice has partner status with the Federation and added that the Golcondan people are legally protected against cultural contamination as a micro-society that evolved in isolation.
+*May 23 - Salvation releases a statement following his latest success against the Thargoids. The statement announces that the deployment of the anti-xeno superweapons was highly effective and billions of lives were saved. Salvation also said that thanks to superpower support, a major breakthrough was made in utilizing Guardian-based technology and construction of the next generation of superweapons has already begun. Salvation predicted the end of the war was finally within reach. Commodore Morag Halloran confirmed that Taurus Mining ventures had received a boost in resources from all three superpowers, including seconded naval personnel, megaship supplies, and advanced engineering equipment. The superpower militaries unianimously stated they are now fully committed to working with Salvation on anti-xeno operations.
+*May 24 - The Blue Viper Club dredger clan unexpectedly severed ties with the Kumo Crew, who is already battling an attempted rebellion. No explanations or itinerary were provided when the nomadic tribe's dredger jumped from the Pegasi Sector PN-T c3-14 system to an unknown destination. The Blue Viper Club was most known for providing a new narcotic crop that later became known as onionhead gamma strain.
+*May 26 - The Kumo Crew decisively crushes the rebellion in the HIP 10792 system. Vidar Trask, formerly an arch-corsair in the Kumo Crew syndicate, was declared dead when his private vessel was destroyed during the conflict. The few surviving ships in the Trasl Death Corsairs abanded his cause. Further details of the insurrection came to light, revealing that Trask secretly gathered followers while acting as Archon Delaine's trusted advisor. Trask's funding came from gambling at Joker's Deck events, which he used to buy independent criminal groups to bolster his forces, answering the mystery of where half of the rebel fighters came from. It was also confirmed that Trask's previously unidentified mercenaries were members of the Blue Viper Club dredger clan, suggesting that his partner in the coup attempt was indeed Arch-Corsair Kay Volantyne who originally hailed from the nomadic tribe. She was last seen returning to her dredger before it jumped to an unknown destination. Archon Delaine proclaimed his intent to hunt down and kill every one of Volantyne's clan for their betrayal.
+*May 26 - The Artificers Clan began retrofitting the generation ship Golconda into a fully operational modern vessel. Former captain Jonathon Forester provided a statement saying that they were worried the Artificers had come to salvage the vessel, but instead they started doing engineering work on it. They reinforeced the ship's structural integrity, repaired damaged components, and installed modern engines and navigational systems. They did this without permission but now the question for the Golcondans is to wehether they should return to their old home and become nomadic once more, or to remain on the outpost.
+*May 27 - Trillionaire entrepreneur Zachary Rackham announced his candidacy for presidency in the 3309 Federal election.
+*May 30 - Professor Alba Tesreau, former head of research at Aegis, announced the discovery of an abandoned outpost in the DG Canum Venaticorum system after being directed there by a source with the question: 'Who is Salvation?' Independent pilots verified the claim and it was confirmed that a previously undiscovered research outpost once controlled by the Intergalactic Naval Reserve Arm had been found there. The site contained logs that directly connected Azimuth Biochemicals to INRA's development of the mycoid virus. Professor Tesreau added that most significantly, she believed that the logs would reveal Salvation's real name and background, and she urged the superpowers to halt collaboration with Salvation while the new data was verified.
+*May 31 - The generation ship Golconda continues being repaired by the Artificer Clan. While repairs continue, Golcondans also continued debating about their future and whether to re-board the Golconda to become space nomads once more.
+=== June ===
+*June 1 - More information about Vidar Trask's failed coup emerged as reported by The Pegasi Sentinel. The Sentinel reported that over one thousand fighters were supplied by the Blue Viper Club, proving the involvement of Kay Volantyne in the coup alongside Trask.
+*June 2 - Independent pilots were asked to assist the Golconda in the Upaniklis system as it resumes its voyage. The generation ship was retrofitted and the majority of its former population have decided to leave the outpost Forester's Choice and return to their traditional nomadic lifestyle. Captain Jonathon Forester, leader of the Golconda Union, announced that the Golconda has a frame shift drive that needs tritium, along with also needing medical diagnostic equipment and power generators. Pilots were requested to deliver these materials to Fozard Port, where they were transferred to the Golconda.
+*June 3 - A public outcry followed claims that Salvation was once a senior member of Azimuth Biochemical who worked for INRA. Information came to light by Professor Alba Tesreau from the DG Canum Venaticorum system suggesting that Salvation's real name is Dr Caleb Wycherly, former vice-president of research at Azimuth Biochemicals. His team contributed to the development of the mycoid bioweapon deployed by INRA during the First Thargoid War. It was also revealed that he gained the nickname of "The Witch", a figure which had also been implicated in the attack on the Alexandria megaship in June 3307 and in Project Seraph recordings found in the HIP 26176 and HIP 22460 systems. Demands for Salvation's arrest and questioning over his involvement in these events have been made by former Aegis leadership. Salvation's supporters dismissed the logs as fake, citing that Wycherly would now be over 200 years old and that the mention of salvation was merely coincidental.

+*June 10 - The source that tipped off Professor Alba Tesreau to the abandoned INRA base in the DG Canum Venaticorum system was revealed to be a survivor of Project Seraph. Project Seraph was a now-abandoned operation run by Azimuth Biochemicals at the Oaken Point facility in the HIP 26176 system. There, scientists attempted to directly interface with Thargoid scout vessels by grafting neural and physiological implants into living subjects. Most of the experiments ended in failure or death, but subject D-2 escaped from Oaken Point by stowing away on a trader's ship. From there, Subject D-2 investigated Azimuth using her inside knowledge and confirmed Aegis's belief that the corporation was still active.
+*June 13 - The proposed strategic alliance between the Alliance and Sirius Corporation is hotly debated.
+*June 14 - The Alliance, Empire, and Federation responded cooly to accusations that Salvation had hidden links to Azimuth Biochemicals and INRA. The Empire took a pragmatic approach, noting none of the Imperial weaponry could match the anti-xeno superweapon's capabilities.
