*[[Affiliated Counter-Terrorism unit|ACT]] has revealed the background of the man known only as Theta Seven, the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army|NMLA's]] de facto leader who recently died in the Mudhrid system. Captain [[Saskia Landau]] gave this statement to the media: "A combination of investigative work and interrogating NMLA survivors has allowed us to confirm that Theta Seven's real name was [[John Tyburn]]. He was born and raised in the city of Fontaine on the planet Baltah'Sine, where he was a munitions technician constructing demolition charges for commercial mining. There is evidence that Tyburn was always a vocal believer in [[Marlin Duval|Marlinism]], and became a pro-democracy campaigner. This eventually caused him to lose his job and serve a prison sentence for sedition. His [[Empire|Imperial]] citizenship was revoked, his marriage annulled and his children taken into state care. Upon release, Tyburn was contacted by the NMLA and radicalised to the Neo-Marlinist cause. He produced portable explosives for terrorist actions, and rose rapidly in their ranks. It was Tyburn's proposal to develop caustic enzyme bombs capable of damaging a starport, but his experimentation on these weapons resulted in injuries and corrosive scarring. They only became a reality following a workable design commissioned from the [[Engineers|engineer]] Liz Ryder without her knowledge of its purpose." First Minister [[Octavia Volkov]] of the [[Marlinist Colonies]] commented: "It's unsettling to learn that this arch-terrorist grew up in the same place as I did and had similar experiences. John Tyburn might easily have been my fellow refugee from the Empire, or perhaps helped us form our republican society. This does not excuse his crimes, but it's all too clear how political persecution can give rise to monsters."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61bc606160626d4641208a2a GalNet: Theta Seven's Identity Discovered]</ref>

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>Deliveries of mined materials have allowed the [[Engineers|engineer]] Liz Ryder to make a one-off modified ship module widely available. The module is a fully engineered [[Lightweight Weapon|lightweight]] and [[High Capacity Weapon|high capacity]] Class 2 [[Seeker Missile Rack]] with [[Thermal Cascade|thermal cascade]]. It was only available for a brief period in October 3306, but can now be purchased from any human [[Technology Broker|technology broker]]. Freshly mined [[bromellite]], [[Lithium Hydroxide|lithium hydroxide]], [[osmium]] and [[samarium]] were delivered by a large number of pilots. Due to the volume of shipments received, the initial amount of materials required by customers to purchase the weapon has been temporarily reduced. Liz Ryder made this statement from her Demolition Unlimited workshop: "Thank you to everyone who helped launch – so to speak – this module onto the market. I hope that engineers and tech brokers can continue working together on providing more options to the galactic community." Pilots who delivered commodities for this initiative can now collect their rewards from Awyra Flirble in the [[Eurybia]] system.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/602698ac4b40a01c127973ef GalNet: Enhanced Missile Rack Initiative Concludes]</ref>

*Following news that the [[Thargoid]]s have attacked a [[Federation|Federal]] convoy in the [[Delphi|Pleiades Sector IR-W d1-55]] system, [[Aegis]] has recruited two of the galaxy's foremost independent [[engineers]] to immediately begin developing new defensive and offensive technologies. One of these engineers is Liz Ryder, a specialist in explosive weaponry, who spoke to The [[Federal Times]] about her involvement: "It's not about penetrating the Thargoids' shields – we've been blowing each other up for centuries so we've gotten pretty good at dealing punishment – it's about creating weapons that are specifically calibrated to damage Thargoid hardware." Ryder was asked if she thought it was too late to avert all-out conflict with the Thargoids: "That's a question for the politicians. My job is to design weapons. And if someone – or something – shoots at you, you've got two choices: run away or shoot back. At the moment, the first of those is our only option. It would be nice to have a second." Professor [[Ishmael Palin]], a leading authority on xenobiology, has also been recruited to the programme. He said: "My first task will be developing a scanner that can provide us with meaningful data on the Thargoids' ships. Of course, to properly calibrate these new technologies we will need large quantities of Thargoid material." Aegis has placed an open order for a range of Thargoid materials for use in the programme. Aegis Core has pledged to reward pilots who deliver unknown technology samples, unknown biological matter, ancient relics and explosives to Awyra Flirble in the [[Eurybia]] system for Liz Ryder. Aegis Research has promised to reimburse Commanders who deliver unknown technology samples, unknown resin, computer components and resonating separators to [[Obsidian Orbital]] in the [[Maia]] system for Ishmael Palin. The campaign begins on the 21st of September and will run for one week. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/59c3cb9dffff1a05c9770bdd GalNet: Community Goal: Engineers Appeal for Thargoid Material]</ref>
