The [[Dredger]]-class [[Bulk Cruiser|bulk cruiser]] has taken position near Kumo City, one of five [[starport]]s recently constructed by pirate warlord [[Archon Delaine]]. [[Dredger Clans]] are nomadic communities that travel on the fringes of civilisation, and their ancient vessels are rarely seen. Pilots in Pegasi Sector PN-T C3-14 have been warned to keep a safe distance from the dredger. [[Francesca Wolfe]] of the Wallglass Investigations Agency published her observations: "The Blue Viper Club is a fiercely independent tribe with an unsavoury reputation. Dredger Clans typically survive by gathering materials and salvage, but these people indulge in more criminal behaviour including drug running and raiding outposts. The clan occupies more than one dredger, but these have never entered an inhabited system before now. There has been no conflict with local factions or system security. However, unmarked personnel shuttles have been witnessed travelling to and from the dredger. Are we looking at a piratical alliance between the Blue Viper Club and the Kumo Crew? Is Archon Delaine expanding his reach to the Dredger Clans? Or have they brought him something of value that they discovered in deep space?"<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/60df1d677a179f60a436c279 GalNet: Dredger Clan Arrives at Kumo City]</ref>

*The [[Affiliated Counter-Terrorism unit]] has published an update on its investigation into the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army]]. Senior Agent [[Tanya Ramirez]], one of ACT's joint leaders, gave a statement to the media: "ACT is currently pursuing multiple lines of enquiry, which must remain classified for reasons of security. Our agents are gathering evidence from sites across the [[Alliance]], [[Empire]] and [[Federation]]. As yet we cannot report any significant breakthroughs. NMLA activists appear to use a dark-comms network that defies detection. They also compartmentalise their operations, so individual cells have little knowledge of each other. In recent months, NMLA incidents have been restricted to minor strikes against Imperial authorities, which were dealt with by local police forces. There has been no activity by Theta Group, the hardcore extremists responsible for the '[[Nine Martyrs]]' starport bombings. The collapse of the Neo-Marlinist Order of Mudhrid may have deprived the NMLA of their logistical capability to deliver large-scale attacks. But it remains possible that a new wave of terrorist atrocities is being planned." ACT later confirmed that it has recruited additional personnel from [[Alliance Interpol]], the [[Federal Intelligence Agency]], the [[Imperial Internal Security Service]], the [[Marlinist Constabulary]], [[Nova Imperium]]'s Praetorian Guard and the Wallglass Investigations Agency.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/60c743ff19871404ab6986a6 GalNet: ACT Continues to Hunt NMLA Terrorists]</ref>

*[[Francesca Wolfe]] of the Wallglass Investigations Agency examines the [[Hesperus]] [[megaship]] and the [[Dredger Clans|Dredger Clan]] that caused its recent discovery. "When the [[Adamastor]] derelict received a strange signal, smart money was on it originating from its sister ship, the Hesperus. Both were owned by [[Azimuth Biochemicals]] and had vanished 200 years ago. After a united effort to decode and trace the signal, independent pilots located the Hesperus in an asteroid belt around the second star of the Perseus Dark Region KC-V C2-2 system. Like the Adamastor, it was devoid of life – but not alone. Alongside it was a [[dredger]], whose proximity had triggered the Hesperus's mayday. This was a rare sighting of a Dredger Clan, one of the nomadic tribes that [[Erik Gunnarson|Gunnarson]] recently discussed. [[The Scriveners Clan Dredger|The Scriveners Clan]] was originally a fleet of research vessels for a long-forgotten academic consortium. Over centuries they became a self-sufficient society, constantly acquiring materials and information. They're not aggressive, but shun outsiders and jealously guard their 'Knowledge Core'. I'm fascinated by mentions of research-sergeants and lector-generals, suggesting their culture is a merger of scholastic and military. With the Hesperus claimed as salvage by the Scriveners and its drives stripped, all chance of learning more was lost. Luckily, four encoded data files had resisted upload, and a gap in the dredger's antiquated firewalls allowed pilots to hack them. The decrypted logs have now been preserved for posterity in a nearby [[Tourist Beacon|tourist beacon]]. They tell a disturbing story of corporate rivalry, murder and revenge, but also leave many unanswered questions... We know that survivors abandoned ship to continue searching for 'alien artefacts'. Did they all die in space or did they find something? What did Azimuth's probes detect back in 3113? And who the hell is '[[Salvation]]', the shadowy figure who contacted pilots to find the Hesperus?"<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/6087fb6ea940e70cd925f8c2 GalNet: Galactic Mysteries: The Hesperus]</ref>

*Evidence presented at the trial of Fleet Admiral [[Lucas Vincent|Vincent]] suggested financial links to Federal shipbuilding corporation [[Core Dynamics]]. This significant development was covered by [[Ethan Takahashi]] for The [[Federal Times]]: "The initial investigations around [[Starship One]]'s destruction in 3301 were outlined by the prosecution. When the [[Federal Attorney's Office]] revisited this historical data, traces were found of financial transfers routed through non-[[Federation]] banking systems. The FAO brought in the expertise of the Wallglass Investigations Agency, which discovered that these transactions were made via shell companies created by Core Dynamics. Fleet Admiral Vincent, as well as several other naval officers, received billions of credits through these companies that went undeclared. Vincent refused to answer any questions about this evidence, once again claiming that he is the victim of a conspiracy to hand the presidency to [[Felicia Winters]]." Despite multiple requests from the press, Core Dynamics has not made any public comment. There are unverified reports of large-scale activity taking place at some of the corporation’s centres of operation.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/60194d23d0851778df338afc GalNet: Core Dynamics Implicated in Starship One Sabotage]</ref>

*A private investigator has uncovered some background to the derelict megaship that recently arrived in this system. Little is known about the [[Adamastor]], which returned on autopilot after two hundred years with no sign of its crew. But an experienced detective has come out of retirement to tackle this mystery. Local resident [[Benjamin Chester]], who was a founding member of the renowned Wallglass Investigations Agency, told [[Journalism|journalists]]: "I convinced the [[Alliance Salvage Guild]] to pass on some serial numbers that they discovered inside the Adamastor. Then I started scouring databases, interviewing sources and, well, doing my old job. The megaship was owned by a corporation called [[Azimuth Biochemicals]]. This was taken over by a similar company called [[Pharmasapien]], but both were liquidated long ago. No mission records exist, but service crew reports mention that the Adamastor's passengers included scientists, engineers and some kind of military. Eventually I unearthed a flight plan, logged in October 3111. It plotted a course toward [[Barnard's Loop]] with fuel for approximately 370 light years, and was scheduled to pass by the HIP 39748 and HIP 33386 systems. I'm way too old to head out there myself, but l hope someone can use this info, and help satisfy my curiosity about what happened all those years ago."<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/jkeowd/secrets_of_the_adamastor_chukchan_local_news/ ~~r/EliteDangerous~~: Secrets of the Adamastor (Chukchan local news article)]</ref>

*President [[Gibson Kincaid]] has been removed from office after a majority vote in the [[Alliance Assembly]], following charges of treason, murder and corruption. The date of his trial is expected to be confirmed soon. [[Alliance Interpol]] confirmed that Kincaid was detained while attempting to flee his personal estate on [[Zaonce]]. A firefight broke out between Interpol agents and emissaries from the [[President of the Alliance|Office of the Alliance President]], acting as Kincaid's personal bodyguards. Several fatalities were later confirmed. A number of influential corporate and political figures who supported Kincaid's conspiracy to gain executive control of the [[Alliance]] have also been arrested, including a senior director at the [[Bank of Zaonce]]. Prosecutions are expected to rely heavily on the recent testimony of Admiral [[Frederick Yamamoto]] and a detailed report provided by the Wallglass Investigations Agency. [[Tashmira Silva]], who privately commissioned the report, told the media: "I am satisfied that Kincaid will at last face justice for his crimes, including my sister's murder. [[Fazia Silva|Fazia]] championed fairness, and succeeded as an entrepreneur by believing in others, she would be pleased to know that the Alliance has been purged of such a corrupt presence."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5d0239210af2d9467f36c791 GalNet: President Kincaid Impeached]</ref>
