*The military trial of Admiral [[Aden Tanner]] has been suspended following evidence provided by [[Ram Tah]] as a witness for the defence. The [[Federal Navy]] tribunal was called to consider multiple charges – including mutiny – held against Tanner, the chief military liaison to [[Aegis]]. While commanding the Musashi [[megaship]], he attempted to gain access to Hind Mine station and locate evidence regarding [[Salvation]]'s [[anti-xeno superweapon]]. Admiral Tanner's defence attorney opened a live link with Phoenix Base to allow Ram Tah to provide the following testimony: "We have analysed the [[Classified Experimental Equipment|classified experimental equipment]] that was recently delivered to enable Salvation's superweapons. These components are near-identical to devices found at the Proteus research facility on Trapezium Sector YU-X c1-2. In 3113, an [[Azimuth Biochemicals]] science team conducted weapons testing using [[Guardian]] artefacts from this site, accidentally triggering a radiation surge which resulted in their deaths. My hypothesis is that Salvation has constructed large-scale versions of the Proteus design. These generate a powerful electromagnetic pulse at frequencies which disrupt the [[Thargoid]]s' bio-mechanical technology. It's highly probable that this is based on an existing Guardian weapon discovered by the Proteus. This would explain why its presence within a system attracts Thargoid vessels." The Federal Navy Criminal Court announced that Admiral Tanner's court martial has been temporarily suspended while the new evidence is reviewed.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61bc639f33cc6e11ad79652d GalNet: Ram Tah's Revelations Halt Court Martial]</ref>

*Continuing a series of articles by historian [[Sima Kalhana]] that look at the most newsworthy events during the past year. "April 3307 saw the creation of the [[Federation]]'s [[Proactive Detection Bureau]] in reaction to the [[Nine Martyrs]] bombings. This organisation monitored all public and private communications for evidence of terrorists, to prevent similar attacks in future. But its highly controversial nature would soon present the Federation with new challenges. [[Affiliated Counter-Terrorism unit|ACT's]] investigation led them to the Neo-Marlinist Order of Mudhrid, which had helped deliver the caustic enzyme bombs to their nine targets. The faction's defeat was an early victory against the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA]], but much of the organisation remained a mystery. When the 'ghost ship' [[Adamastor]] began receiving an encoded signal, this began an entire saga of mysteries. Its long-lost sister ship, the [[Hesperus]], was soon located by pilots who had been recruited by an anonymous figure named [[Salvation]]. His interest in [[Azimuth Biochemicals]], the 200 year old corporation that owned both vessels, would bring a strange twist to the ongoing [[Second Thargoid War|Thargoid conflict]]. In May, [[Hadrian Augustus Duval|Hadrian Duval]] was targeted by Federal forces after accusations that he was the mastermind behind the NMLA. The spectre of [[Empire]]-Federation war rose once again as [[Nova Paresa|Nova Imperium]] successfully defended itself, but ACT concluded that evidence had been falsified to implicate Hadrian and his new wife [[Astrid Minerva-Duval|Lady Astrid]]. [[Aegis]] came under intense scrutiny when the megaship [[Alexandria]], laden with newly collected Guardian artefacts, began attracting Thargoids in every system it jumped to. The Alexandria later vanished completely in [[hyperspace]], and to this day remains missing presumed destroyed. The [[Alliance]] election finally took place at the end of May, having been delayed by three months due to the [[Galactic Summit]]. [[Councillor]] [[Nakato Kaine]] fought a spirited campaign, but [[Edmund Mahon]] was re-elected to serve a second term as [[Alliance Prime Minister|prime minister]]. Supporters of Neo-Marlinism gained a voice in June, when Minister [[Aaron Whyte]] offered a peace deal with the Empire to prevent further terrorism. The idea of a political wing of the NMLA gained support from those fearing further bombings, but opened major rifts within the [[Marlinist Colonies]]. Salvation once again contacted pilots to track down survivors from the Hesperus. This led to the discovery of an ancient [[Guardian-Thargoid War|Guardian-Thargoid battleground]], where Azimuth scientists had built a research base around their vessel Proteus. All were killed by unusual experiments into weaponising [[Guardian]] crystals. The Proactive Detection Bureau had been generally accepted by Federal citizens, but many claimed it was a violation of civil liberties. Halfway through the year, the Azaladshu Free faction took the bold step of seceding from the Federation, thus triggering the possibility of [[Federal Rebellion of 3307|mass rebellion]]."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61bc621a105bfb228026979e GalNet: A Retrospective of 3307 (Part Two)]</ref>

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT* [[Aegis|Aegis Research]] and [[Taurus Mining Ventures]] have requested deliveries of [[Guardian]] artefacts to the PMD2009 48 system. Their rival campaigns follow the discovery of an ancient battleground between the Guardians and the [[Thargoid]]s on Trapezium Sector YU-X c1-2 1a. [[Patience Middleton]], representing Taurus Mining Ventures, broadcast this statement: "'[[Salvation]]' has claimed the exclusive rights to exploit the Proteus site, which was only discovered because of his specialist knowledge. He has contracted us to pay for Guardian caskets, orbs, relics, tablets, totems and urns brought to the Glorious Prospect [[megaship]]." Aegis Research has also positioned a megaship, the Archimedes, in the PMD2009 48 system. Professor [[Alba Tesreau]] announced: "It is vital that Aegis replaces the Guardian artefacts that were lost aboard the [[Alexandria]]. Without sufficient materials, our anti-xeno research programme will be severely hampered. We recognise the risk that collecting Guardian technology on a megaship may attract the Thargoids, as happened in the [[Delphi]] system. However, this system is much farther from any known areas of Thargoid activity, so we hope to avoid drawing their attention." The [[Alliance]], [[Empire]] and [[Federation]] consider depriving Aegis of resources to be a criminal act. As a result, pilots are warned that any ship modules received from Taurus Mining Ventures will be marked as 'hot', thereby incurring extra costs to be cleaned prior to installation.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/60d487e32dbeb747e3341783 GalNet: Aegis and 'Salvation' Compete for Guardian Artefacts]</ref>

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT* An [[Anaconda]] from the [[Hesperus]] [[megaship]] has been found at a historical battlefield on the moon Trapezium Sector YU-X c1-2 1a. The discovery was made by pilots who tracked down a series of [[Listening post|signal beacons]], following instructions provided by the anonymous '[[Salvation]]'. The beacons were deployed by the Hesperus during its voyage nearly 200 years ago. The Anaconda, named Proteus, was one of the megaship's secondary vessels and had been outfitted for long-range exploration. It was used by an [[Azimuth Biochemicals]] science team to flee the Hesperus after the megaship was overtaken by saboteurs from rival company [[Pharmasapien]]. Upon landing, the Proteus was converted into a research facility to study the ancient structures and wreckage on the moon. The proximity of both [[Guardian]] and [[Thargoid]] technology suggests this was the site of a battle fought by the two civilisations over a million years ago, although in 3113 neither species had yet been identified. Professor [[Alba Tesreau]] of [[Aegis|Aegis Research]] gave this statement: "This is a significant xenoarchaeological find – physical evidence of [[Guardian-Thargoid War|the war between the Guardians and the Thargoids]]. Our advance teams are conducting preliminary surveys, and a megaship is being prepared. Following the [[Alexandria]]'s tragic disappearance, we hope this may serve as a fresh source of Guardian artefacts for our anti-xeno research programme."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/60cc9d2606236c5ec30eb969 GalNet: Guardian-Thargoid Battlefield Discovered]</ref>

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT* [[Commander]]s in the Chukchan and Perseus Dark Region KC-V c2-2 systems have reported being contacted by '[[Salvation]]'. The anonymous individual is known to have an interest in the [[Adamastor]] and the [[Hesperus]], the 'ghost ships' within those systems. Both of the derelict [[megaship]]s were operated 200 years ago by [[Azimuth Biochemicals]]. Commander Tyler Thorsen told [[Vox Galactica]]: "I was taking some sightseers on a trip round the Hesperus, and getting as close as I dared to [[The Scriveners Clan Dredger|the Scriveners Clan dredger]]. I scanned the [[Tourist Beacon|tourist beacon]] for them, and suddenly received a direct message from this 'Salvation' guy. He asked me to track down some old signal beacons, which are [[listening post]]s configured to retransmit long-range comms. Apparently these could help locate the survivors from the megaship. But the Hesperus is ancient history. Surely there can't be anything or anyone left to find?" In April, 'Salvation' unofficially recruited independent pilots to locate the Hesperus, and to deliver its surviving logs to Taurus Mining Ventures. The [[Pilots Federation]] is running an inquiry into 'Salvation' and his associates. Commanders are being cautioned against undertaking tasks for what may be an illegal enterprise.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/60c34f846cee523238177a32 GalNet: The Legacy of the Hesperus]</ref>
