The unmarked ship belonged to [[Commander]] Hyford, who fled to Colonia from the [[Core Systems]] in early 3303 to escape a secretive paramilitary unit called [[Black Flight]] that wanted him dead. Hyford scuttled his ship and sealed a time-locked message inside before going into hiding. The shipwreck was traced via [[Listening Post]]s and discovered by independent pilots in May 3303, but security protocols that Hyford set up prevented its data core from being properly downloaded until July 29, 3307, when it released a short notice indicating a timer would expire on August 26, 3307. On that date, Hyford's last message was revealed and directed readers to HIP 26176, where a secret [[Project Seraph]] facility called [[Oaken Point]] was discovered in addition to the first in a chain of Listening Posts that led to [[HIP 22460]]. | ||

*[[Sima Kalhana]] reviews the most newsworthy events of the past year in this series of articles.<br/>"July began badly for the [[Federation]], with more factions seceding in response to the [[Proactive Detection Bureau]]'s establishment. The newly independent nations severed all links with these new surveillance efforts, inspiring many other systems to do likewise. This [[Federal Rebellion of 3307|secession crisis]] would rumble on for the rest of the year. The [[Blue Viper Club Clan Dredger|Blue Viper Club]], one of the rarely seen [[Dredger Clans|dredger clans]], joined forces with the [[Kumo Crew]] to manufacture a medicinal [[drug]] that turned out to be a [[Onionhead Gamma Strain|new strain]] of [[onionhead]]. The drug would ultimately end up being legally distributed by [[Neomedical Industries]], causing [[Archon Delaine]] to seek revenge against the corporation. Tensions soared in the [[Marlinist Colonies]] during an election for the head of their [[Marlinist Consulate|diplomatic consulate]]. [[Aaron Whyte]]'s [[Verity Dexter|candidate]] had the support of an [[Lorcan Scordato|Imperial senator]], which would have given the Neo-Marlinists a powerful voice within the [[Empire]]. When a more [[Kayode Tau|moderate candidate]] was elected, the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA]] reacted by bombing both Marlinist starports, murdering tens of thousands including First Minister [[Jenna Fairfax]]. It seemed [[John Tyburn|Theta Seven's]] extremist views allowed anyone to be targeted as an enemy, even his fellow Marlinists. The civil war concluded in August, with Whyte killed in battle as his supporters were overcome in direct combat. Following accusations of incompetence regarding the vanished [[Alexandria]] megaship, [[Aegis]] was officially suspended and subjected to a [[Paul Baumann|board of inquiry]]. This would have ramifications for the [[Second Thargoid War|ongoing conflict]] with the [[Thargoid]]s, and encourage [[Salvation]] to position himself as an alternative. In the corporate sphere, [[Zemina Torval]] created a [[Torval Mining Ltd|new subsidiary]] of [[Mastopolos Mining]] that would eventually become an autonomous company. There were rumours that the [[Torval family|Torval]] and [[Mastopolos family|Mastopolos]] families were now at loggerheads after decades of working in unison. In September, the mystery of Hyford's Cache was finally unlocked. The trail led to revelations of [[Project Seraph|dark experiments]] which are believed to have involved human test subjects and Thargoid technology. When the Thargoids themselves appeared en masse in the Cornsar system, Salvation was ready for them. An [[anti-xeno superweapon]] of undisclosed nature was deployed, wiping out some of the aliens and driving away the rest. It seemed that the self-titled 'man of science' had developed something revolutionary, inspiring many to place their faith in him to end the Thargoid menace once and for all."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61bc624fc9a41028410f101a GalNet: A Retrospective of 3307 (Part Three)]</ref> | |||

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>A data bank left by a crashed vessel on the moon [[Colonia]] 5 e a has reactivated, revealing clues as to its origin. The crash site was first discovered over four years ago via listening posts in the Colonia, Neche and Wasat systems. These posts held transmissions from the ship's owner, [[Commander]] Hyford, discussing his attempts to avoid members of a private military outfit he had previously worked for. This latest development was discussed by [[Erik Gunnarson]] of the [[Wallglass Investigations Agency]]: "Commander Hyford spoke of making deliveries to a nameless organisation in the [[Pleiades Nebula|Pleiades]], and left a data cache in the Colonia system that provided further details. Hyford's Cache, as some investigators referred to it, had remained locked until a manually-set timer system finally expired last week. The information within has apparently directed pilots to investigate the HIP 26176 system. It's possible that [[Kit Fowler]]'s recent theories regarding [[Black Flight]] – another old mystery – might prove relevant after all. But there are bigger questions that need answering. Who was Hyford working for? Were they responsible for causing his ship to crash? And if so, what [[Project Seraph|secrets]] were they trying to keep?"<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/6128e74eae137b2f7c1885aa GalNet: Hyford's Cache Reveals Mysterious Project]</ref> | |||
