The '''Bright Sentinel''' is a [[Wells-class Carrier]] [[megaship]] that is owned and operated by [[Taurus Mining Ventures]]. It is currently located in [[Maia]]. Together with Prospect's Deep, a Taurus Mining Ventures [[Surface Port]] in Mbooni, Bright Sentinel is one of only two ports that host a [[Technology Broker]] who offers modified versions of the [[Guardian Gauss Cannon]], [[Guardian Plasma Charger]], and [[Guardian Shard Cannon]], but unlike Prospect's Deep, the Bright Sentinel is mobile. | The '''Bright Sentinel''' is a [[Wells-class Carrier]] [[megaship]] that is owned and operated by [[Taurus Mining Ventures]].

The existence of the Bright Sentinel was first revealed on September 17, 3307, when [[Salvation]] asked for help assembling a new anti-xeno superweapon to repel a [[Thargoid]] invasion in the Cornsar system. Pilots who participated in this project were directed by Captain [[Chae-Won Lee]] of the Heart of Taurus, another Taurus Mining Ventures megaship, to retrieve their rewards in Mbooni. Following a major Thargoid assault on multiple nebulae with human colonies, the Bright Sentinel jumped to [[Merope]] at Salvation's request to distribute a new [[Engineers|Engineered]] anti-xeno module, the Modified Plasma Charger, to local pilots battling the invasion. The vessel remained in Merope from October 28 to November 18, 3307, when it returned to Mbooni. The Bright Sentinel departed its home system again for [[Maia]] on December 9 to take part in the assembly of three more anti-xeno superweapons | The existence of the Bright Sentinel was first revealed on September 17, 3307, when [[Salvation]] asked for help assembling a new anti-xeno superweapon to repel a [[Thargoid]] invasion in the Cornsar system.

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots' Federation ALERT*<br/>[[Salvation]]'s anti-xeno superweapons have cleared most [[Thargoid]] vessels from the [[Delphi]], [[Maia]] and [[Merope]] systems. Pilots were asked to transport [[Classified Experimental Equipment|classified experimental equipment]] from the Heart of Taurus in the Qarato system to three other [[megaship]]s owned by [[Taurus Mining Ventures]]. These components were used to prepare the large-scale weapons developed by Salvation to affect Thargoid technology. [[Vox Galactica]] published an intercepted message from Commodore [[Morag Halloran]], commanding officer of the Musashi, to the Bright Sentinel and Glorious Prospect megaships: "This is Halloran. Operation Tri-hammer has concluded with a code white-three-alpha. Estimated target destruction in Delphi is at 27%, with full dispersal of 98% of remaining hostiles. Scans underway for non-combatant disruption or casualties. Maia and Merope data to be submitted immediately to central analytics." Independent observers have reported that the majority of all Thargoid ships in the three systems have abruptly departed, with some [[Crashed Thargoid Ship|wreckages]] found on planetary surfaces. This closely matches the event in the Cornsar system in September, when the anti-xeno superweapon was first deployed. Pilots are requested to help with repair and rescue efforts for starports damaged by the Thargoids: Donar's Oak and The Oracle in the Delphi system, [[Obsidian Orbital]] in the Maia system, and Reed's Rest in the Merope system.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61b22de57f20dc7b365da05a GalNet: Thargoids Repulsed from Three Systems]</ref> | |||

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots' Federation ALERT*<br/>[[Salvation]] requires vital materials to deploy anti-xeno superweapons in the [[Delphi]], [[Maia]] and [[Merope]] systems. A message was transmitted from the Musashi [[megaship]] by its new commanding officer, Commodore [[Morag Halloran]]: "The [[Thargoid]]s have invaded three key systems, as Salvation anticipated. Preparations have been made to halt their advance, but there is an urgent requirement to collect [[Classified Experimental Equipment|classified experimental equipment]] from the Heart of Taurus in the Qarato system. Pilots must then deliver these shipments to three other megaships: the Musashi in the Delphi system, the Bright Sentinel in the Maia system, and the Glorious Prospect in the Merope system. It is crucial that all deliveries are made by early on Tuesday the 14th of December. Without these components, Salvation's superweapons will not be able to affect enough Thargoid vessels to turn the tide." Commodore Halloran was formerly a member of the [[Alliance Defence Force]], and was in charge of protecting the first expedition to the [[Coalsack Nebula]] in 3306. She is one of hundreds of naval officers and crew from all three superpowers who have resigned their commissions to offer their services to Salvation, believing that only he can defeat the Thargoids.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61b2004bb01f6418d158f6f9 GalNet: Support Salvation's Counterstrike Against the Thargoids]</ref> | *<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots' Federation ALERT*<br/>[[Salvation]] requires vital materials to deploy anti-xeno superweapons in the [[Delphi]], [[Maia]] and [[Merope]] systems.
