*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots' Federation ALERT*<br/>[[Taurus Mining Ventures]] has defeated a rogue Aegis Defense force and gained control of the [[megaship]] Musashi. The conflict was initiated by Admiral [[Aden Tanner]], chief military liaison with [[Aegis]]. He was attempting to gain access to Hind Mine [[Asteroid Base|asteroid base]], in search of evidence that [[Salvation]]'s [[Anti-xeno superweapon|anti-xeno weapon]] was deliberately designed to provoke the [[Thargoid]]s. Patience Middleton, a spokesperson for Taurus Mining Ventures, made this announcement: "This was an illegal and unnecessary conflict, brought about by Admiral Tanner's misguided obsession. We will continue working with Salvation to eliminate the Thargoid threat. Our defence was only possible thanks to our courageous supporters, for whom rewards are available at Hind Mine. We will also honour agreements that the Aegis Defense force made with independent pilots, who can collect their promised payments from the Musashi." Taurus Mining Ventures later confirmed that all members of the Musashi's original crew will be allowed to leave the megaship unharmed. Admiral Tanner and other key personnel are in temporary custody. Aegis has arranged for them to be transferred to its internal security teams.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/6196501885d0747b7c681739 GalNet: Salvation's Allies Triumph in T Tauri System]</ref>

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots' Federation ALERT*<br/>A rogue [[Aegis|Aegis Defense]] force has initiated conflict with [[Taurus Mining Ventures]] in the T Tauri system. The [[megaship]] Musashi is commanded by Aegis's chief military liaison Admiral [[Aden Tanner]], who made this announcement: "The Hind Mine [[Asteroid Base|asteroid base]] contains proof that [[Salvation]]'s unlicensed [[Anti-xeno superweapon|anti-xeno weapon]] is intentionally designed to provoke the [[Thargoid]]s, and therefore endangers us all. As Taurus Mining Ventures refuses to cooperate, we have no choice but to obtain the evidence by force. This may be our only opportunity to discover Salvation's true ambitions. I urge all independent pilots who have fought alongside Aegis to help us complete this vital mission." Patience Middleton, a spokesperson for Taurus Mining Ventures, responded: "This is an illegal attack that jeopardises the important work we are undertaking on behalf of Salvation. It is in the galactic community's interests to defend our corporate headquarters." Aegis officially stated that Admiral Tanner is acting on his own authority, and that the Musashi's presence in the T Tauri system is in direct violation of orders. Despite this, there are reports that Tanner has tacit support from many members of Aegis, who disagree with the public inquiry that has suspended its operations.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/618d13fa79f0245b464f12dd GalNet: Aegis Renegades Attack Salvation's Allies]</ref>

*Admiral [[Aden Tanner]] has called for [[Aegis]] to reject the public inquiry's shutdown and take direct action against [[Salvation]]. The Musashi, an Aegis Defense [[megaship]] under his command, has entered the T Tauri system to challenge [[Taurus Mining Ventures]]. The corporation has performed activities on Salvation's behalf, including preparation for the [[Anti-xeno superweapon|anti-xeno weapon]] used to eliminate all [[Thargoid]]s from the Cornsar system. Admiral Tanner transmitted this message to media outlets: "Salvation's unlicensed weapons technology is deliberately designed to provoke the Thargoids, risking millions of lives. My sources tell me that Hind Mine [[Asteroid Base|asteroid base]] contains evidence of this. I therefore demand that Taurus Mining Ventures allows us access so we can determine the truth." Patience Middleton of Taurus Mining Ventures responded: "We are a legitimate business under contract to a private citizen, whose activities are protected by confidentiality agreements. These threats have no legal standing and are not welcome." Admiral Tanner is a highly decorated [[Federal Navy]] officer and Aegis's chief military liaison, having coordinated many combat efforts against the Thargoids. The Musashi's relocation has been condemned by Aegis leadership, and Tanner has been ordered to depart the T Tauri system.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61840798afc9de16453ca51e GalNet: Aegis Leader Opposes Salvation]</ref>
