New Reports of Criminal Fleet Raise Questions

Rumours are spreading across several systems following multiple sightings of ships bearing unidentified markings in formation.

Security officials have more reported instances of malware bearing sigils previously discovered in the Lhou Mans attack appearing at otherwise unconnected locations, often at trading outposts, surface ports, and outlying orbital installations.

Multiple malware sigils have also been reported by system authorities investigating data breaches, described as what appears to be ‘twin axes’, an ‘animal’, and an ‘ornate mask’ across separate incidents.

While no formal link has been established between the motifs, Crime correspondent Mira Bukowski has suggested that their appearance is linked to the reports surrounding the emergence of the pirate figure known as Lady Zi.

“These reports are too coincidental to be random and unconnected,” she wrote for Vox Galactica.

Imogen le Ray, CEO of Frontline Solutions, responded to the reports indicating in a statement issued to Bukowski for Vox Galactica that “Frontline is preparing to provide additional services to combat the rise in criminal activity,” and strongly hinted at a formal announcement in the coming days.

Frontline Solutions has declared it intends to expand service processes to meet growing demand.

Security analysts have noted that piracy and mercenary groups have become more coordinated since the Second Thargoid War and recommend new tactics to combat the rise in criminal activity.

To meet these demands, Frontline Solutions is offering ‘rapid deployment of mercenary strike teams where they are needed, when they are needed’.

“Frontline remains at the forefront of transporting combat-ready squads to faction-led military engagements” Imogen le Ray, CEO of Frontline Solutions stated in a press release.

“I have negotiated with shareholders to expand our coverage. Mercenaries may now be deployed to counter dangerous criminal activity, with registered combatants lawfully acting on behalf of a hiring faction.”

Ahead of an expected spike in demand, Frontline announced the launch of a new vessel, dubbed ‘The Runner.’ This ship has been designed to rapidly transport mercenary squads and ships to operational locations.

“To avoid relying on an external manufacturer, we are independently constructing our Runners to maintain control of our logistical capabilities.”, le Ray added, “To ensure we meet our initial deployment targets, we’re requesting help for that final push to reach the planned fleet size.”

Pilots are invited to support Frontline Solutions by registering at Pawelczyk Dock in the HIP 58412 system before delivering aluminium, semiconductors and polymers to the local market. Template:GalNetLinks

Radicoida Unica ‘Cultivated, Not Created’ By Guardians

Interest continues to grow among the scientific community following Ram Tah’s speculation that the Guardians once cultivated Radicoida unica for their own use.

With many leading exobiologists continuing to argue over whether Radicoida unica is a direct creation of the Guardians, Ram Tah clarified that the plant is almost certainly a natural flora.

Speaking to Leon Banerjee, science correspondent for Vox Galactica, Tah reiterated that whilst the context in the Guardian Archive links the long extinct race to using the plant, there is no evidence it was a creation of genetic engineering.

"There is evidence that the Guardians cultivated the plant for their own purposes and likely cross-pollinated it with other flora millions of years ago to enhance its medicinal effects,” he went on to say.

Dr. Roy Casimir, chief researcher at the Holloway Bioscience Institute, echoed Ram Tah’s statement when asked for comment as part of his continued collaboration with the October Consortium.

“The Consortium continues to provide us with fascinating data. We hope that those medicinal effects will reveal themselves to us over time as we continue to unlock the secrets of this incredible plant.” Template:GalNetLinks
