*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>The [[dredger]] belonging to the [[The Scriveners Clan Dredger|Scriveners Clan]] has left the Perseus Dark Region KC-V c2-2 system, where the [[Hesperus]] [[megaship]] is located. The 200-year-old 'ghost ship', once owned by [[Azimuth Biochemicals]], was discovered in April when the nomadic clan began salvaging it for materials and data. [[Erik Gunnarson]] of the [[Wallglass Investigations Agency]] speculated: "When the Scriveners laid claim to the Hesperus, I expected only a cloud of fragments would remain. But their salvage operation has been prematurely abandoned, after stripping the megaship's innards and leaving behind a mostly intact hull. Why have they done this? Perhaps because this particular [[Dredger Clans|dredger clan]] avoids outsiders. Public interest in the Hesperus inspired thousands of curious travellers to see it for themselves, potentially drawing more scrutiny than the secretive tribe could bear. Alternatively, the Scriveners detected richer pickings elsewhere – either fresh resources for the dredger to consume or new information for their 'Knowledge Core'. In theory they could still be tracked down as their vessel's [[hyperdrive]] has a similar range to modern-day [[Drake-Class Carrier|fleet carriers]]. We know very little about the Scriveners, and even less about other clans. However, with the recent appearance of the Blue Viper Club dredger at Kumo City, I'm hopeful more may be revealed about these roaming societies."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/60e857529a9f437bd96dff0f GalNet: Scriveners Clan Abandons the Hesperus]</ref> | |||

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>The [[Kumo Crew]] syndicate is requesting deliveries to mass-produce a recreational drug named '[[helix]]'. The drug is believed to originate with the Blue Viper Club, a [[Dredger Clans|nomadic clan]] travelling aboard an ancient [[dredger]] that recently appeared near Kumo City station. Arch-Corsair [[Kay Volantyne]], representing the Kumo Council, provided details to local [[News Feed|newsfeed]] The [[Pegasi Sentinel]]: "Helix will change lives across the galaxy! Derived from high-quality organic crops, and with many medicinal and psychological benefits, it is guaranteed to bring contentment. All we need to kick-start manufacture are deliveries of [[Agronomic Treatment|agronomic treatment]], [[Liquid Oxygen|liquid oxygen]] and [[Performance Enhancers|performance enhancers]] to Kumo City in the Pegasi Sector PN-T C3-14 system. The Kumo Council also offers generous bounties on all wanted ships to protect traders carrying these commodities." Many authorities have registered concern that this will exacerbate drug addiction and misuse, which are common social problems. However, some markets have shown interest in the potential new product. [[Vox Galactica]] has reported rumours that helix may be a previously unknown strain of [[Onion Head|onionhead]], a highly popular psychedelic. It remains unknown whether the Blue Viper Club cultivated helix aboard their dredger or acquired it from another source.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/60e70619ca08e10ba8548dab GalNet: Kumo Crew Initiative to Produce New Commodity]</ref> | *<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>The [[Kumo Crew]] syndicate is requesting deliveries to mass-produce a recreational drug named '[[helix]]'.
