*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>The [[dredger]] belonging to the [[The Scriveners Clan Dredger|Scriveners Clan]] has left the Perseus Dark Region KC-V c2-2 system, where the [[Hesperus]] [[megaship]] is located. The 200-year-old 'ghost ship', once owned by [[Azimuth Biochemicals]], was discovered in April when the nomadic clan began salvaging it for materials and data. [[Erik Gunnarson]] of the Wallglass Investigations Agency speculated: "When the Scriveners laid claim to the Hesperus, I expected only a cloud of fragments would remain. But their salvage operation has been prematurely abandoned, after stripping the megaship's innards and leaving behind a mostly intact hull. Why have they done this? Perhaps because this particular [[Dredger Clans|dredger clan]] avoids outsiders. Public interest in the Hesperus inspired thousands of curious travellers to see it for themselves, potentially drawing more scrutiny than the secretive tribe could bear. Alternatively, the Scriveners detected richer pickings elsewhere – either fresh resources for the dredger to consume or new information for their 'Knowledge Core'. In theory they could still be tracked down as their vessel's [[hyperdrive]] has a similar range to modern-day [[Drake-Class Carrier|fleet carriers]]. We know very little about the Scriveners, and even less about other clans. However, with the recent appearance of the [[Blue Viper Club Clan Dredger|Blue Viper Club dredger]] at Kumo City, I'm hopeful more may be revealed about these roaming societies."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/60e857529a9f437bd96dff0f GalNet: Scriveners Clan Abandons the Hesperus]</ref> | |||

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>A [[Blue Viper Club Clan Dredger|Blue Viper Club dredger]] has entered the Pegasi Sector PN-T C3-14 system, and may have links with the [[Kumo Crew]] syndicate. 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> | *<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>A [[Blue Viper Club Clan Dredger|Blue Viper Club dredger]] has entered the Pegasi Sector PN-T C3-14 system, and may have links with the [[Kumo Crew]] syndicate.
