=== Sandra’s Workshop Asks for Festive Gift Couriers === | |||
[[File:News Image fleet carriers 4.png|600px|centre]] | |||
'''The CEO of leading children’s toy manufacturer [[Sandra’s Workshop]] has once again requested help with parcel deliveries.''' | |||
[[Sandra Corrs]], the much-loved philanthropist who provides gifts to children across the [[Core Systems|core systems]] each year, has made similar requests in previous years. Last year, with the [[Second Thargoid War|Thargoid invasion]] just beginning, her courier fleet was loaned out to help refugee evacuation efforts. | |||
This year a different problem has emerged, as Sandra explained to [[Vox Galactica]]: | |||
“''We had Our Dolph’s Routes transport fleet all prepped in advance this year, and with no Thargoids in sight, we thought we would finally have no more hiccups. Oh, how wrong we were!'' | |||
''This year, we’ve been hacked, and most of our location data for each present was wiped clean. We managed to restore the majority from a backup, but a few presents are going out that we still need help with figuring out where to deliver them''.” | |||
“''Even our fleet won’t be able to deliver all our presents on time, given the extra work needed to track down their proper delivery points. We’ll need to rely once again on kind-hearted pilots to volunteer their time and ensure we can brighten the smiles on every child on our list''.” | |||
Pilots willing to help Sandra’s Workshop can collect [[Personal Gifts|festive gifts]] from the Frost Dock outpost in the Njambalba system. The outpost can only provide landing pads for small- and medium-sized vessels. | |||
A beacon outside Frost Dock holds delivery information, which can be acquired via scan. | |||

=== Caspian Explorer Trials Deemed a Resounding Success === | |||
[[File:Community News Feed 17.png|600px|centre]] | |||
'''[[Zorgon Peterson]] has confirmed the successful conclusion of its [[Caspian Explorer]] field trials, with pilots securing vast quantities of [[Exobiologist#Sample Values & Details|exobiological data]].''' | |||
A Zorgon Peterson press statement described the results as “exceptional across every metric relevant to long-range exploration.” Engineers supervising the campaign reported that the Caspian’s performance exceeded even internal projections. | |||
Chief Marketing Officer Devin Kaneda commented: | |||
“''These trials have demonstrated that the Caspian Explorer lives up to every ambition behind its design. Pilots pushed the vessel hard, covering vast distances using the vessel’s neutron and white dwarf boosting capabilities to their fullest, and landing quickly and safely on distant worlds thanks to its unique design''.” | |||
“''The Caspian not only endured: it excelled. I’m excited to see what new horizons can be found by these brave explorers''.” | |||
Kaneda also congratulated CMDR BitNick for providing the largest number of contributions over the two-week campaign. | |||
With the trials now concluded, Zorgon predicts that the Caspian will quickly become a key feature of humanity’s next generation of long-range expeditions. | |||
The Caspian Explorer is available for exclusive purchase initially and will transition to standard shipyard inventories at a later date. | |||
