HIP 87621: Difference between revisions

{{SystemInfobox|controller=October Consortium|allegiance=Independent|security=Anarchy|government=None|population=0|economy=None|image=HIP 87621 sys map.png}}'''HIP 87621''' is an [[independent]] star system owned by the [[Lexi October|October Consortium]]. It is located in the [[Inner Orion Spur]] roughly 400 ly from [[Sol]].

HIP 87621 was shrouded in mystery for a long time. It gained widespread attention in 3011 due to the disappearance of [[Terri Tora]]<ref>https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/galnet/mystery-missing-exobiology-protege-deepens</ref> and the subsequent discovery of unusual exobiological readings from long-range scans.<ref>https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/galnet/rackham-funds-exploration-push-after-hip-87621-discovery</ref>

Following mounting pressure from the three [[Galactic Superpower|superpowers]] and the general public, the [[October Consortium]] granted exclusive access to licensed [[Commander|Commanders]] on 13 Nov 3311.<ref name=":0" /> Access remains denied to civilian, corporate, and government entities.<ref name=":0">https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/galnet/pilots-federation-members-enter-hip-87621</ref>

Commanders delivered exobiological data to [[Exogene Sciences]] in HIP 87621.<ref name=":1">[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/692826546dd32b9d010b0432 HIP 87621 At Centre of Major Military Conflict] - 27 Nov 3311</ref> This data confirmed a new species of flora called [[Radicoida Unica]] on several planetary bodies.<ref name=":1" /> The Radicoida Unica has unique bio-chemical properties that are being researched.<ref name=":1" />

=== The battle for HIP 87621 ===

On 27 Nov 3311, the powers issued a call to arms for a military campaign to secure exclusive control over Radicoida unica in the 49 [[Star Systems|systems]].<ref name=":1" /> The powers issued adversarial statements. A spokesperson for [[Denton Patreus]] stated: ''“Imperial interests cannot allow rivals to dictate the future of HIP 87621. Order must be maintained, and only Imperial governance has the authority to do so.”''<ref name=":1" /> A staff member of [[Nakato Kaine]] said: ''“Members of the Alliance will not sit idle while bullies seek to snatch a legally claimed system by force. We will defend equal access and resist attempts at domination.”''<ref name=":1" />

[[Alliance|Allied]], [[Federation|Federal]], [[Empire|Imperial]] and [[Independent]] powers deployed their fleets to preserve their interests and freedom from superpower control of the 49-system enclave around HIP 87621.<ref name=":1" /> This is the biggest military mobilization since the [[Second Thargoid War]].<ref name=":1" /> The winning power will benefit from the first application of the new technology.<ref name=":1" />
