*The anonymous [[Salvation]] commands much support in the galactic community, but a resistance movement has emerged to sabotage his efforts. [[Vox Galactica]] featured a special report from freelance journalist [[Alexei Keel]]: "In his self-proclaimed war against the [[Thargoid]]s, Salvation recently scored a major victory by eliminating their forces from the Cornsar system. But the ongoing mystery around the identity of this 'man of science', as well as his controversial methods, have led to a backlash. To deliver vital components for his mysterious anti-xeno weapon, Salvation once again recruited independent pilots, directly messaging those who had performed tasks for him before. However, this time a counter-initiative was formed by those who did not trust his motivations. It was also supported by believers in non-aggression against the Thargoids, and others who feared that the weapon might endanger Cornsar's population. Their actions involved acquiring the components, which were disguised as [[Basic Medicines|basic medicines]], but destroying rather than delivering them. Whether or not this partial blockade impacted the weapon's effectiveness remains unknown, but it acted as a substantial opposition to Salvation's scheme. [[Aegis]] is investigating the Cornsar incident, but with faith in that organisation at an all-time low, individual [[Commander]]s are now taking matters into their own hands. Time will tell if Salvation's ambition to replace Aegis is a noble goal, or if we are replacing the devil we know with a darker demon."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/6151b37e8395d050bb7eae36 GalNet: Salvation: Friend or Foe?]</ref> | |||

*The anonymous 'man of science' [[Salvation]] has claimed responsibility for the [[Thargoid]]s' unexplained departure from the Cornsar system. Salvation had predicted their attack, but his claim was discounted by [[Aegis]] and [[Noah Sharrow|other authorities]]. After a few days the Thargoid vessels fled abruptly, leaving behind [[Crashed Thargoid Ship|wreckages]] across the system. The following message was transmitted on public channels: "This is Salvation. The Thargoid invasion of Cornsar has now been repulsed, thanks to prototype anti-xeno weaponry that I have been developing for some time. I have achieved what Aegis could not – an effective deterrent against the alien threat. Refinement of this weapon is at a critical stage, so I cannot reveal any details. I only regret that my warning was not heeded in time to save everyone on the two [[starport]]s. This triumph was only possible thanks to those loyal pilots who answered my call. Rewards will shortly be available from the Bright Sentinel [[megaship]] in the [[Mbooni]] system." Salvation's identity and capabilities remain unknown, but he has established a reputation as a rival to Aegis. He is also knowledgeable about [[Azimuth Biochemicals]], a research company connected to the earliest recorded encounters with [[Guardian]] and Thargoid artefacts.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/614b1b42ee27c94b1b195046 GalNet: Salvation Takes Credit for Repelling Thargoids]</ref> | *The anonymous 'man of science' [[Salvation]] has claimed responsibility for the [[Thargoid]]s' unexplained departure from the Cornsar system.
