*Shutdown procedures for the anti-xeno organisation are continuing, despite [[Aegis]]'s warnings that Azimuth has returned. [[Conrad Sterling]] reported on the situation for [[Vox Galactica]]: "We now know that the [[Alexandria]] megaship was targeted by a hostile force that could be [[Azimuth Biochemicals]], the 200-year-old corporation which owned the [[Adamastor]] and [[Hesperus]]. In the face of this new evidence, Aegis leaders have petitioned for it to be reinstated. Even while accounting for this new evidence, the Baumann Report has exposed a litany of organisational failures within Aegis. There is still a broad consensus among politicians that the organisation should have done more to repel the [[Thargoid]]s. Many senior military figures have switched focus to Aegis's controversial rival [[Salvation]], despite his mysterious nature. As one [[Imperial Navy]] admiral succinctly put it: 'Salvation's methods have proved more effective in counteracting the Thargoid threat.' The issue of military staff defections also appears to have been resolved. [[Alliance]], [[Federation|Federal]] and [[Empire|Imperial]] fleets have opened channels of secondment, allowing naval crews to voluntarily take positions aboard Salvation's vessels without resigning their commissions. However, one of Aegis's requests has been authorised. There will be a public ceremony to posthumously award medals of honour to Captain [[Jacob Morales]] and the four thousand people who lost their lives aboard the Alexandria."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/620107f4e5510241a42989bd GalNet: The Fall of Aegis]</ref> | |||

*Information recovered from the [[Alexandria]] has prompted [[Aegis]] to insist that it was not responsible for the loss of the [[megaship]]'s crew and cargo. The wreckage of the Alexandria was recently located in the Wregoe TC-X B29-0 system. There were no survivors, but fragments of the commanding officer's log were found. Chief Administrator [[Carter Armstrong]] published this statement on behalf of Aegis: "The logs made by Captain [[Jacob Morales]] tell a bleak tale. The Alexandria was deliberately sabotaged to leave it stranded and powerless. They were met by an unidentified group posing as a rescue team, who slaughtered most of the crew and hijacked the [[Guardian]] artefacts. The survivors later made a desperate attempt to initiate the [[hyperdrive]], which sadly led to their destruction. We can now prove that the Alexandria's loss was not caused by negligence, as claimed by the Baumann Report. In reality, the megaship was snared in a trap laid by an organised quasi-military force. Furthermore, Captain Morales discovered that the raiders worked for someone they referred to as 'the [[Witch]]'. That name was mentioned in logs discovered at [[HIP 22460]] regarding [[Project Seraph]] – vile experiments perpetrated by Azimuth researchers to install human test pilots into [[Thargoid]] vessels. This evidence suggests that [[Azimuth Biochemicals]] has survived in some form over the last two hundred years, and remains focused on aggressive xenological research. Aegis must be reinstated immediately to counter this dangerous organisation before more lives are lost."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61f7efc4178bf54c8d5f609d GalNet: 'Azimuth has Survived' Warns Aegis]</ref> | *Information recovered from the [[Alexandria]] has prompted [[Aegis]] to insist that it was not responsible for the loss of the [[megaship]]'s crew and cargo.
