*The anonymous [[Salvation]] commands much support in the galactic community, but a resistance movement has emerged to sabotage his efforts. [[Vox Galactica]] featured a special report from freelance journalist Alexei Keel: "In his self-proclaimed war against the [[Thargoid]]s, Salvation recently scored a major victory by eliminating their forces from the Cornsar system. But the ongoing mystery around the identity of this 'man of science', as well as his controversial methods, have led to a backlash. To deliver vital components for his mysterious anti-xeno weapon, Salvation once again recruited independent pilots, directly messaging those who had performed tasks for him before. However, this time a counter-initiative was formed by those who did not trust his motivations. It was also supported by believers in non-aggression against the Thargoids, and others who feared that the weapon might endanger Cornsar's population. Their actions involved acquiring the components, which were disguised as [[Basic Medicines|basic medicines]], but destroying rather than delivering them. Whether or not this partial blockade impacted the weapon's effectiveness remains unknown, but it acted as a substantial opposition to Salvation's scheme. [[Aegis]] is investigating the Cornsar incident, but with faith in that organisation at an all-time low, individual [[Commander]]s are now taking matters into their own hands. Time will tell if Salvation's ambition to replace Aegis is a noble goal, or if we are replacing the devil we know with a darker demon."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/6151b37e8395d050bb7eae36 GalNet: Salvation: Friend or Foe?]</ref> | *The anonymous [[Salvation]] commands much support in the galactic community, but a resistance movement has emerged to sabotage his efforts.

*The [[Aegis]] board of inquiry's initial findings have been leaked to journalists, with several problems within the anti-xeno organisation detailed in the files. [[Vox Galactica]] journalist Alexei Keel reported on its contents: "The independent inquiry into Aegis is in its early stages, making this disclosure of delicate information all the more embarrassing. Although only a summary, it highlights shortcomings that were immediately apparent to the investigators. The leaked files outline a pattern of poor internal organisation and negligence. One claim is that Aegis accepted its heavy reliance on independent pilots entering combat situations against the [[Thargoid]]s. A lack of technological breakthroughs since the first generation of AX weaponry is also criticised. [[Alba Tesreau|Professor Tesreau]], who has since resigned, is singled out for prioritising communication with the Thargoids rather than developing quickly deployed defences. Interview transcripts show that some Aegis personnel consider the inquiry itself to be part of a larger agenda. A recurring claim is that the superpowers directly contributed to Aegis's inefficiency by reducing funding, and are now scapegoating Aegis management for a lack of progress. Dr [[Paul Baumann]], chair of the board of inquiry, said that only the final report should be considered official. It is unclear when the 'Baumann Report', as some newsfeeds refer to it, might be ready for publication."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/611ba6d5760fa3799e69814d GalNet: Leaked Report Exposes Aegis Failures]</ref> | *The [[Aegis]] board of inquiry's initial findings have been leaked to journalists, with several problems within the anti-xeno organisation detailed in the files.
