Phase two of the Colonia Bridge began on November 4, 3307. Similar to the first phase, it involved the construction of up to 26 megaships. These would be placed along the [[Colonia Connection Highway]] to link the two segments of the Colonia Bridge put into place by the first phase. Brewer Corporation would produce 20 of the megaships, while the Colonia Council handled the other six. Once again, the top ten participants in both Colonia and Alcor would be permitted to name some of the megaships, and to encourage long-range traders and deep space explorers to participate in the project, Brewer Corporation also offered Class 3, 4, and 6 modified [[Frame Shift Drive]]s as bonus rewards.<ref name="Phase Two">[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/6183da5d0a3c291e47134e9c GalNet: Colonia Bridge Project Enters Phase Two]</ref> | Phase two of the Colonia Bridge began on November 4, 3307.

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>Successful campaigns in the Alcor and [[Colonia]] systems will result in new [[megaship]]s being added to the Colonia Bridge. Large quantities of [[Ceramic Composites|ceramic composites]], [[Computer Components|computer components]] and [[Thermal Cooling Units|thermal cooling units]] were provided at either end of the route between the [[Core Systems|core systems]] and the distant [[Colonia Region|Colonia region]]. [[Brewer Corporation]] provided an update on the project: "Once again, the galactic community has provided the vital materials required to construct dockable megaships. These additional ports should be operational by the 25th of November, making journeys to and from Colonia easier and safer. Pilots can now collect their rewards from Macdonald Settlement in the Alcor system and [[Jaques Station]] in the Colonia system. We shall also be awarding an [[Engineers|engineered]] [[Frame Shift Drive|frame shift drive]] with [[Increased Range Frame Shift Drive|long range]] and [[Faster Boot Sequence Frame Shift Drive|fast boot]] to the majority of contributors." The top ten pilots who delivered materials to Alcor and Colonia will shortly be invited to submit suggestions to name 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="Bridge Gains" /> | |||

*<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/>A distress call has led independent pilots to locate an abandoned settlement in the Snake Sector GW-W c1-1 system.
