*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>A distress call has led independent pilots to locate an abandoned settlement in the Snake Sector GW-W c1-1 system. The SOS was initially detected by one of the [[megaship]]s that form the Colonia Bridge, inspiring many ships to search nearby systems. The source was eventually identified as [[Holloway Bioscience Research Facility 15]] on the moon Snake Sector GW-W c1-1 AB 5 b. Pilots unearthed a series of mission logs recorded in the year 3255 by a freelance military unit named Excalibur Troop. As yet, the contents of these logs have not been made available to [[newsfeed]]s. [[Aanya Gupta]], CEO of the [[Holloway Bioscience Institute]], gave a statement to the press: "Research Facility 15 was one of the first wave of planetary survey laboratories established by our founder, the esteemed scientist Lord [[Roland Holloway]]. Our records of these settlements are patchy, so we are grateful that this has been located. Unfortunately, we can find no data regarding Excalibur Troop or the circumstances under which they were contracted. Our investigative teams are on-site to gather further information." The Holloway Bioscience Institute refused to comment on rumours that a [[Snake Sector species|previously unidentified life form]] had been encountered by the research facility's original crew.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61840b10021ec03b354bbc22 GalNet: Long-Lost Research Facility Discovered]</ref> | |||

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>[[Brewer Corporation]] requests deliveries in the Alcor and [[Colonia]] systems for the next phase of the Colonia Bridge project. A successful initiative in October resulted in the placement of 30 dockable [[megaship]]s at intervals of several hundred light years, providing services such as refuelling and repairs. The second phase seeks to establish this support for the full route between the [[Core Systems|core systems]] and the [[Colonia Region|Colonia region]]. A press release from Brewer Corporation stated: "We are now ready to continue work on the Colonia Bridge, by constructing additional megaships to fill the middle of the planned route. As before, we require shipments of [[Ceramic Composites|ceramic composites]], [[Computer Components|computer components]] and [[Thermal Cooling Units|thermal cooling units]] at Macdonald Settlement in the Alcor system or [[Jaques Station]] in the Colonia system. Should deliveries reach sufficient levels, the top 75% of contributors will be awarded an [[Engineers|engineered]] [[Frame Shift Drive|frame shift drive]] with [[Increased Range Frame Shift Drive|increased range]] and [[Faster Boot Sequence Frame Shift Drive|faster boot sequence]]. Our hope is that this encourages deep space explorers and long-distance haulers to take part in the Colonia Bridge project." As an additional reward, the top ten contributors at Alcor and Colonia will be invited to submit naming suggestions for the new megaships. Submissions will be subject to review by the Brewer Corporation board of directors. To ensure a variety of choice, only pilots who have not yet submitted names for the Colonia Bridge megaships will be eligible.<ref name="Phase Two" /> | *<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>[[Brewer Corporation]] requests deliveries in the Alcor and [[Colonia]] systems for the next phase of the Colonia Bridge project.
