*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>A data bank left by a crashed vessel on the moon [[Colonia]] 5 e a has reactivated, revealing clues as to its origin. The crash site was first discovered over four years ago via listening posts in the Colonia, Neche and Wasat systems. These posts held transmissions from the ship's owner, [[Commander]] Hyford, discussing his attempts to avoid members of a private military outfit he had previously worked for. This latest development was discussed by [[Erik Gunnarson]] of the Wallglass Investigations Agency: "Commander Hyford spoke of making deliveries to a nameless organisation in the [[Pleiades Nebula|Pleiades]], and left a data cache in the Colonia system that provided further details. [[Hyford's Cache]], as some investigators referred to it, had remained locked until a manually-set timer system finally expired last week. The information within has apparently directed pilots to investigate the HIP 26176 system. It's possible that [[Kit Fowler]]'s recent theories regarding [[Black Flight]] – another old mystery – might prove relevant after all. But there are bigger questions that need answering. Who was Hyford working for? Were they responsible for causing his ship to crash? And if so, what [[Project Seraph|secrets]] were they trying to keep?"<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/6128e74eae137b2f7c1885aa GalNet: Hyford's Cache Reveals Mysterious Project]</ref> | |||

*The enigmatic [[Thargoid]]-worshipping religious order is examined by [[Erik Gunnarson]] of the Wallglass Investigations Agency. "Of all the myriad faiths practised across the galaxy, the [[Far God cult]] is one of the strangest and least understood. But in recent years it has grown from a fringe sect to a widespread religion. Its central tenet is that an unknowable being exists beyond our dimension – the Far God. What we call the Thargoids are its heralds, preparing for when it descends from [[hyperspace]] to instantly wipe out all life. This apocalyptic creed therefore attracts people who have nothing to live for, and who find purpose in awaiting armageddon. The cult has no official name or spokespeople, and its followers willingly replace their names with titles such as adherent, disciple and witness. This dehumanising approach includes its members wearing simple black robes and making their hive-chapels resemble Thargoid bio-technology, complete with ammonia fumes. Despite praying to an alien species, this is not the Thargoid fifth column many feared it to be. In fact they are pacifistic fatalists, expecting death and never offering resistance. This has caused them to be victimised by other doomsayer cults, anti-xeno activists and even the [[Federal Intelligence Agency]]… yet their serene patience has allowed them to survive. The discovery of two [[The Sanctum|abandoned]] [[The Prophet|void-temples]] in the Etain system provided an insight into the cultists' mindset. Here can be heard the final testaments of people willingly entombed in suspended animation to await the Far God's arrival. More recently there are reports of several chapters of the sect migrating to the Panjabell system. This is controlled by the Pleiades Concordat, a theocracy devoted to the Far God, so perhaps it is preparing something bigger – or stranger – than we've seen before."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/60f5813b401bf1637a043458 GalNet: Galactic Mysteries: The Far God Cult]</ref> | *The enigmatic [[Thargoid]]-worshipping religious order is examined by [[Erik Gunnarson]] of the Wallglass Investigations Agency.
