==Overview==

~~Unlike Community Goals,~~ Interstellar Initiatives ~~do not rely on a~~ week-long ~~drive to collect bounties or specific resources. The first Interstellar Initiative~~, ~~"Bridging the Gap", began on April 29~~, ~~3305 with~~ a poll. The ~~minor faction Zende Partners~~ of the ~~Zende System announced plans to construct a weekly ferry [[Megaship]] between~~ the ~~[[Core Systems]] and one of five systems in [[Guardian]] space, and pilots were invited to vote on their desired candidate system. The selected system would also gain a permanent [[outpost]]~~.

Interstellar Initiatives consist of multiple week-long phases, with each phase presenting an activity, such as a poll or Community Goal, that advances the overall narrative and can offer different rewards. The outcome of each phase can change the direction of the narrative.

As an example, the first Interstellar Initiative, "Bridging the Gap", ran from April 29, 3305 to May 30, 3305, and featured four phases.
