The '''Alexandria''' is a [[Carrier|Flight Operations Carrier]] [[Megaship]] owned and operated by Aegis Research, a division of [[Aegis]]. It is commanded by Captain [[Jacob Morales]]. The vessel was first deployed in the [[Delphi]] system on April 22, 3307 to host an Aegis campaign to collect [[Guardian]] artefacts for research into new anti-[[Thargoid]] technologies. The campaign was successful, but the concentration of so many Guardian artefacts in one location appeared to provoke the Thargoids into launching a wave of attacks in ten systems across the [[California Nebula]], [[Coalsack Nebula]], and [[Pleiades Nebula]], including Delphi. The Alexandria attempted to flee to safety in [[Sol]] and jumped from Delphi to HIP 16538 to restock its [[tritium]] reserves, but the Thargoids followed it and locked down the system. As fears mounted that the Alexandria would bring Thargoids with it wherever it went, the [[Federal Navy]] barred the ship from entering Federal territory, ~~and~~ Aegis decided to ~~offload~~ the ~~cargo in another~~ system with a minimal population.

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>All independent ships aboard the Alexandria in the HIP 16538 system will be undocked on Thursday the 3rd of June. The [[megaship]] triggered an invasion of [[Thargoid]] vessels when it arrived from the [[Delphi]] system. [[Aegis]] believes this was a reaction to the large quantities of [[Guardian]] artefacts being stored in its cargo holds. Captain [[Jacob Morales]], commanding officer of the Alexandria, outlined the next steps: "On Thursday we will make a hyperspace jump to the HIP 30944 system. Since this has a small population, the risk of casualties will be low if the Thargoids continue to pursue us. Once there, we will arrange to offload our cargo and distribute it to multiple locations." “As a precaution, shortly before the jump we will uncouple all independent ships and leave them in the HIP 16538 system. We advise all pilots currently docked with the Alexandria to depart as soon as possible." The Alexandria was ordered not to enter any [[Federation|Federal]] systems, causing many [[News Feed|newsfeeds]] to refer to it as a 'plague ship'. There are widespread concerns that it will attract Thargoids to any system it travels to.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/60b60819601915167f11e893 GalNet: Aegis Megaship Prepares to Escape Thargoids]</ref>

*The Alexandria megaship has been warned that it faces destruction if it attempts to travel to any [[Federation|Federal]] system. The [[Aegis]]-owned vessel triggered a full-scale [[Thargoid]] [[incursion]] when it arrived in the HIP 16538 system. This seemed to be a reaction to the huge quantities of [[Guardian]] artefacts currently stored within its cargo holds. Captain [[Jacob Morales]], the Alexandria's commander, broadcast this message: "The [[Federal Navy]] has instructed us not to resume our scheduled journey to [[Sol]] or enter any system within the Federation. They're treating us like a plague ship! I understand their concern that more Thargoids will follow us, but we have several thousand crewmembers who need to reach safe harbour." A strategy was outlined by Admiral [[Aden Tanner]], chief military liaison for Aegis: "We are attempting to clear the HIP 16538 system of Thargoid vessels, greatly aided by independent pilots and anti-xeno squadrons. The megaship will then jump to a system with a minimal population, where we will offload its cargo." Aegis has reiterated that the option to jettison the Alexandria's cargo is a last resort, since the Guardian artefacts are vital to its research programme and cost billions of credits to acquire.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/60ab949adb826a132b26b034 GalNet: Federation Refuses Entry to 'Plague Ship']</ref>
