*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>The effectiveness of [[engineers]]' upgrading for ship modules will be boosted until the 7th of January 3307. During this time, engineered weapons and modules will receive increased augmentation for the same amount of materials. This will apply to every workshop in [[Alliance]], [[Empire|Imperial]], [[Federation|Federal]] and [[independent]] space. [[Lori Jameson]], an engineer based in the [[Shinrarta Dezhra]] system, provided details to [[Vox Galactica]] on how this collaboration came about: "After the Eurybia incident, some of us contacted Liz Ryder and offered our support. It was horrifying how her expertise had been abused by the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA]], leaving her unfairly maligned as a terrorist supporter. There were concerns that her situation might reflect badly on engineers in general. We soon established communication links between every workshop, and agreed to offer a universal boost to upgrades. Hopefully this will remind pilots how much we value their custom, and that we remain a trustworthy resource." [[Mel Brandon]], one of four engineers in the [[Colonia Region]], commented: "It's about time that we all started talking to each other. Our services are valuable to the whole galaxy. We deserve better protection. Maybe we have to start protecting ourselves."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5fdb5837257211493d326298 GalNet: Engineers Boost Ship Module Upgrading]</ref> | |||

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>Multiple explosions have struck Kepler Orbital in the Atropos system, causing huge damage and loss of life.<br/>Witnesses have observed signs of corrosion damage to the starport. This is characteristic of an explosive designed by the engineer Liz Ryder that deploys [[Thargoid]] caustic enzymes, and which was used in the bombings of [[Empire|Imperial]] starports in September. The [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA]] has claimed responsibility for the attack. Its propaganda channels praised "the nine martyrs", a reference to the terrorist suspects recently arrested by the [[Federal Security Service]]. There were also warnings of "further reprisals if the Federation impedes our cause". The FSS has since confirmed that the captive NMLA members were being held in secure facilities at Kepler Orbital, which have been completely destroyed by the blasts. It is assumed that they were specifically targeted to prevent the prisoners revealing information about the paramilitary group under interrogation. Federal authorities are urgently requesting support from the galactic community, to assist with repair efforts and to rescue survivors still trapped at the damaged station.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5fb66b8eb296e87ab41dfd6b GalNet: Terrorist Bombing at Federal Starport]</ref> | *<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>Multiple explosions have struck Kepler Orbital in the Atropos system, causing huge damage and loss of life.<br/>Witnesses have observed signs of corrosion damage to the starport.
