*Jaques Station, the only space station equipped for continuous star travel, attempted an extreme long-range jump to Beagle Point from [[Gliese 1269]] on May 21, 3302, following a successful community goal to provide the station with fuel. Due to [[Unknown Artefact]] interference, the station's drives malfunctioned during the jump and it was stranded in the system of [[Eol Prou RS-T d3-94]]. A community goal to provide Jaques Station with repair materials succeeded, but it is unknown when or if it will attempt to resume its journey to Beagle Point. | *Jaques Station, the only space station equipped for continuous star travel, attempted an extreme long-range jump to Beagle Point from [[Gliese 1269]] on May 21, 3302, following a successful community goal to provide the station with fuel.
