*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots' Federation ALERT*<br/>Systems in the [[California Nebula|California]], [[Coalsack Nebula|Coalsack]], [[Pleiades Nebula|Pleiades]] and [[Witch Head Nebula]]s are under sustained assault by the [[Thargoid]]s. [[Vox Galactica]] featured this report from freelance war correspondent [[Ernesto Rios]]: "Multiple [[starport]]s have been crippled by Thargoid attacks in recent weeks, with anti-xeno squadrons struggling to protect them. Many [[Commander]]s told me that this latest wave is proving unusually difficult to repel, with a steady stream of reinforcements replacing those alien vessels destroyed in battle. In normal times [[Aegis]] would coordinate the defence effort, but its operations remain suspended due to the Baumann inquiry. Today, it is clear that many of the superpowers' leaders have more faith in [[Salvation]] after his triumph in the Cornsar system, believing that he holds the key to defeating the Thargoids. Both the [[Imperial Navy]] and the [[Alliance]]'s [[Council of Admirals]] have suggested committing naval forces to support Salvation. In the [[Federation]], [[Federal Congress|Congress]] has debated redirecting funds that were ring-fenced for Aegis to accelerate development of the anti-xeno superweapon. As yet these are merely discussions, but do illustrate the wide-reaching impact of the Cornsar incident. In the meantime, in the absence of direct support from either Aegis or Salvation, pilots are sacrificing their lives as they fight courageously to push back the Thargoid fleets."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61a63b4d8b415c236409007e GalNet: Thargoid Invasion of Nebula Systems Intensifies]</ref> | |||

*Admiral [[Aden Tanner]] and the crew of the Musashi [[megaship]] will be placed on trial for attacking [[Salvation]]'s allies. The admiral disobeyed orders by attempting to gain access to Hind Mine [[starport]], the headquarters of [[Taurus Mining Ventures]]. After failing to achieve this, most of the Musashi's crewmembers were detained and repatriated to their respective home systems to face civil or military charges. The [[Federal Navy]] has published this official notice: "Admiral Tanner is formally accused of mutiny and unlawful military action while in command of the Musashi. He will stand trial in a general court-martial. If found guilty, he will be dishonourably discharged and imprisoned for life." Dr Paul Baumann, chair of the independent board of inquiry into [[Aegis]], commented: "Recent events in the T Tauri system clearly fall within the scope of our investigation. For Aegis's chief military liaison to launch an unauthorised attack, at the cost of many lives, will weigh heavily against the organisation." Admiral Tanner claims that the anti-xeno superweapon deployed by [[Salvation]] in the Cornsar system has triggered an increase in [[Thargoid]] attacks. Although there is no direct evidence of this, the Thargoids have performed coordinated strikes against several systems in the weeks since that event.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61a4ca3a7b7c062a03402c47 GalNet: Aegis Renegades Face Criminal Charges]</ref> | *Admiral [[Aden Tanner]] and the crew of the Musashi [[megaship]] will be placed on trial for attacking [[Salvation]]'s allies.
