=== Brewer Corp Jump Satellite Initiative Hailed a Success ===
[[File:News Image fleet carriers 1.png|600px|centre]]
'''Independent pilots rallied to provide [[Brewer Corporation|Brewer Corp]] with the necessary commodities to release its new '[[Jump satellite|jump satellite]]s' on schedule.'''
The hardware - a highly modified version of the [[Nav Beacon|nav beacon]] - emits a signal which [[Drake-Class Carrier|fleet carrier]] computers can target, avoiding bottlenecks in systems where no planetary bodies are present.
"''We're extremely grateful for the support and the number of supplied commodities received''," said [[Madelyn Teague]], CEO of Brewer Corporation.
"''Our factories are now working hard to put the new satellites into service with the correct signal calibration settings''."
Transmitting to [[Vox Galactica]] from the outpost at [[Rackham's Peak]] in HIP 58832, [[Zachary Rackham]] welcomed the initiative and thanked those taking part, stating that "''it was about time that Brewer solved this problem that prevented more visitors arriving at the very top of the galaxy!''"
Brewer confirmed that the new jump satellites will begin deployment to the HD 105341 system in the near future, expanding carrier capacity close to Rackham’s Peak.
Contributing pilots can now collect their rewards at the megaship Zero Squared in the HIP 74116 system.

=== Faulcon DeLacy Announces Anaconda Mk II ===
[[File:Faulcon DeLacy Announces Anaconda Mk II.png|600px|centre]]
'''[[Faulcon DeLacy]] has announced the first major revision of the [[Anaconda]] ship model since its introduction in 2856.'''
Expanding on its predecessor’s multi-purpose capabilities, the [[Anaconda Mk II]] prioritises exceptional versatility and was described as “''one of our finest large ships''” by Chief of Design [[Frank Endis]]:
“''We took the opportunity to hone the original Anaconda’s advantages as a flexible, general-purpose option. Pilots will be able to equip their Mk II as a credible trading, mining, or combat choice whenever needed at any port with outfitting bays''.”
“''It still excels as a large exploration vessel as well, of course! Our design focus was on making sure all potential roles were treated with equal attention''.”
The Anaconda Mk II comes with an [[Frame Shift Drive (SCO)|SCO-optimised FSD]], a Size 6 optional internal slot, and Mk II armour slots and optimised hardpoint that can mount the new ‘mining volley repeater’ - a multi-barrel excavation tool used for laser mining which uses random sequencing to produce abrasion chunks.
The Anaconda Mk II is immediately available as an early-release purchase and will later transition to wider shipyard availability.

=== Faulcon DeLacy Plans Anaconda Mk II Field Trials ===
[[File:News Image Station.png|600px|centre]]
'''A quadruple-focus initiative has been launched aiming to test the improved capabilities of the recently announced [[Anaconda Mk II]].'''
To help celebrate the release of the new ship, [[Faulcon DeLacy]] has partnered with several organisations to track various ship performance data for comparison with the Anaconda Mk II. Independent pilots are invited to put the new vessel through its paces across [[Miner|mining]], [[Trader|trading]], [[combat]] and [[Explorer|exploration]].
[[Frank Endis]], Chief of Design commented in a statement issued to [[Vox Galactica]] that “''most new ship launches focus on testing one or two new capabilities, but the Anaconda has always proven itself as an all-round vessel''.”
“''It makes sense to put it through its paces against everything that it can do''.”
Pilots are invited to support the Anaconda Mk II’s launch by registering at HD 232819, AD Leonis, [[Reorte]] and HR 8061 before taking up one or more initiatives. While any vessel can be used to provide comparative data, the Anaconda Mk II’'s performance is of particular interest to analysts.
