On August 28, Councillor Giselle Kingspear of the Colonia Council announced that four [[Engineers]] had established bases in the Colonia Region to provide services for independent pilots. Councillor Kingspear explained, "The Council believes it has a duty to support those who contribute so much to the region's stability. That’s why we have consulted with engineers in the Core Systems to identify individuals who could offer similar services here in Colonia. Consequently, we now have four engineers at planetary bases in the region. [[Mel Brandon]] is based in Luchtaine, and specializes in laser-based armaments, shields, engines and frame shift drives. [[Etienne Dorn]] in the Los system, once lead engineer for Kraken Shield Specialists, is an expert on sensors, scanners and high-energy weaponry, among other things. [[Petra Olmanova]] is in the Asura system, and works with ship armour, countermeasures and explosive weapons, and [[Marsha Hicks]], in the Tir system, offers upgrades in ballistic weaponry, fuel scoops, refineries and limpets."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5b8565825efed679d1135a12 GalNet: Engineers Established in Colonia]</ref> | On August 28, 3304, Councillor Giselle Kingspear of the Colonia Council announced that four [[Engineers]] had established bases in the Colonia Region to provide services for independent pilots.

The Colonia Council partnered with [[Brewer Corporation]] to launch the three-part [[Colonia Bridge]] project on October 7, 3307. The first phase involved constructing up to 30 new Flight Operations Carrier [[megaship]]s between the Colonia Region and the Core Systems. While the principal funding for 25 megaships was provided by Brewer Corp, the Colonia Council subsidised the remaining five vessels.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/615ef09ab2672727e0356598 GalNet: Twin Initiatives for Colonia Bridge Project]</ref> | |||
