*The ancient spacefaring home of [[The Scriveners Clan Dredger|the Scriveners Clan]] is the legal property of [[Orion Independent University|Orion University]], according to newfound historical records. The Scriveners Clan is a nomadic tribe travelling onboard a self-sufficient [[Dredger]]-class [[Bulk Cruiser|bulk cruiser]]. Their society is descended from an academic organisation that sent out a research fleet two centuries ago. Unlike some [[Dredger Clans|dredger clans]], they refuse to have any contact with outsiders. Vice Chancellor [[Leland Pettigrew]] of Orion University made this statement: "In the year 3088, Dredger J-403 was commissioned for an exploration mission by an academic institute named Scrivener College. This was absorbed into our university in 3125. Documents detailing these facts were recently discovered in our archives and verified by the courts. Therefore the dredger, including all of its contents, is legally owned by Orion University. Naturally we bear no ill will toward its current populace, but the vessel they inhabit has always been our commercial property." The Scriveners Clan dredger was last seen in the Perseus Dark Region KC-V c2-2 system, where it was salvaging the [[Hesperus]] [[megaship]]. On the 9th of July it made a hyperspace jump to an unknown destination within 500 light years. Orion University is the largest [[independent]] educational institution in the [[Core Systems|core systems]], rivalled only by the Imperial Science Academy and [[Olympus Village University]].<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/6166cbdf843b9f5e531b309a GalNet: Orion University Claims Ownership of Dredger]</ref>
