*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>The newly settled [[Marlinist Colonies]] have asked for urgent deliveries of foodstuffs. Millions of Marlinists have relocated to eight systems colonised for them by the [[Sirius Corporation]], thereby reducing tension between the [[Empire]] and the [[Federation]]. They have asked Universal Cartographics to delay a census of the systems' populations, while the [[Marlinist refugee crisis|refugees]] lay the infrastructure for their new societies. The Marlinist factions are holding democratic elections to select their leaders. However, the transitional parliament has declared an emergency due to the shortage of food stocks. Community spokesperson Dr [[Jenna Fairfax]] announced: "We are grateful to the galactic community and Sirius Corporation for providing homes. However, we need further help to feed our people in the short term, until we can become self-sufficient. The more supplies we can stockpile, the faster our economies will develop. This in turn will allow us to offer greater commodity discounts, to encourage the establishment of regular trade routes." Pilots are asked to deliver [[Animal Meat|animal meat]], [[fish]], [[Fruit and Vegetables|fruit and vegetables]], and [[grain]] to Stillman Hub in the [[HIP 22550]] system. As this system's defence forces are still being formed, the Free Marlinists of Carinae have offered bounties on all wanted ships to secure these initial trade runs to the Marlinist Colonies.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/600041936cab79546c3b1cc5 GalNet: New Marlinist Systems Request Emergency Food Supplies]</ref>

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>Multi-billionaire [[Zachary Rackham]]'s new orbital [[outpost]] at the galactic zenith is now operational. [[Rackham's Peak]] is situated in the HIP 58832 system, one of the highest practical locations above the galactic plane. Its construction was funded by [[Rackham Capital Investments]], in conjunction with Universal Cartographics and other scientific research companies. Traders have been welcomed, although the increased distances between stars at the galaxy's fringes mean that vessels with a high jump range are recommended. Rackham's Peak is currently offering high prices for deliveries of [[beer]], [[liquor]], [[wine]], [[Bast Snake Gin]], [[Centauri Mega Gin]], [[Chateau De Aegaeon]], [[Eranin Pearl Whisky]], [[Gerasian Gueuze Beer]], [[Harma Silver Sea Rum]], [[Indi Bourbon]], [[Kongga Ale]], [[Lavian Brandy]], [[Leestian Evil Juice]], [[Saxon Wine]], [[Thrutis Cream]] and [[Wuthielo Ku Froth]]. Mr Rackham officiated at the outpost's opening ceremony, which was followed by an extravagant press party for media representatives and attending celebrities. He gave this statement: "The top of the galaxy is now open for business! Rackham's Peak is a free port where everyone is welcome, a place where explorers and entrepreneurs can enjoy drinks while overlooking the entire Milky Way. Aim high, Commanders!" In related news, Rackham Capital Investments has agreed to pay a repairs bill from Universal Cartographics for the outpost's sensor array control systems, which suffered fluid-related damage during the party.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5fdb5796013a51660b43d5c6 GalNet: Rackham's Peak Outpost Marks Galactic Zenith]</ref>
