*Authorities at Gabriel Enterprise, Harma, announce a suspension of services due to technical issues, making it the seventh station to experience mysterious malfunctions.
*The Diamond Frogs announce that Operation: Mistle Toad has collected 250,000 tonnes of Christmas gifts in the Santa Muerte system.
*Personnel at Obsidian Orbital in Maia work around the clock to keep the station operational as it suffers technical issues, but have yet to find a solution.
*The Canonn Interstellar Research Group announces it has been investigating the origins of strange "meta-alloys", and believes they are linked to both alien barnacles and the objects designated Unknown Artefacts. Volunteers are requested for a search of the Pleiades Nebula for new barnacle sites.
*Commander MeglaManiac and Commander Burias oversee the first "Galactic Base-Jumping Open" on planet 1 in Njokujinun.
*The first symposium of the Pioneers Cooperative, a group dedicated to supporting human expansion into uninhabited space, concludes.
*Commanders flock to Achenar to undertake the "Achenar Challenge" and make a safe landing under the extreme gravity conditions of planet 3. Over 100 ships are estimated to have crashed on Achenar 3 since mid-December 3301.
*Sirius Corporation announces that the previous year's search for the wreckage of the Highliner Antares did turn up pieces of the lost vessel. The wreckage will be subjected to further analysis to determine the cause of the Antares disaster.
*Conditions at Obsidian Orbital continue to deteriorate.
*A brief, fragmentary signal is picked up by Obsidian Orbital, and estimated to originate somewhere within 23 lightyears of Maia. Pilots are advised to watch for any ships in distress and offer assistance.
*The Distant Worlds expedition, a first-of-its-kind transgalactic journey to Beagle Point involving over a thousand pilots, launches from Pallaeni.
*The Canonn announces the discovery of alien barnacles on Merope 5 c and in Pleiades Sector JC-U b3-2, which were uncovered thanks to analysis of the corrupted signal received by Obsidian Orbital.
*A correlation between deliveries of Meta-Alloys and a reduction in mysterious technical issues at stations is noted after pilots arrive in the Pleiades to harvest the newly-discovered barnacles and sell their Meta-Alloys at Obsidian Orbital. The exact cause of the technical issues remains unknown.
*The Green Party of HIP 112974 decides to follow the Drug Empire of Xelabara's success and establish its own Onion Head operation in HIP 112974. Pilots are asked to deliver Onion head to La Cosa City.
*The independent minor faction Allied Facece Order unexpectedly seizes control of Facece, ousting the Empire. Chancellor Anders Blaine, previously Facece's senator and administrator, assures the public that the Empire will retake the system.
*Technical issues afflict more stations, bringing the total number of stations disabled by the "technological plague" to 22.
*The Green Party of HIP 112974 announces its appeal for Onion Head was successful, leading to the creation and distribution of Onionhead Beta Strain.
*Senator Denton Patreus reveals that the Imperial Internal Security Service has discovered "shadow cells" of Emperor's Dawn in Dakshmandi, Ipilyaqa and Ch'i Lin. The secret outposts are thought to be the final bastions of Emperor's Dawn's leadership. Patreus asks for volunteers to neutralise the outposts.
*Professor Ishmael Palin issues a request for Meta-Alloys to assist his research into the cause of technological plague.
*Sirius Corporation reveals that its analysis of the Highliner Antares wreckage confirms that the ship was destroyed by a catastrophic explosion in the hyperdrive that overwhelmed the hyperdrive's internal containment systems at the moment the Antares was transitioning from normal space to hyperspace.
*Professor Violet Belbin of the Xenological Research Institute voices concerns that alien barnacles are living organisms and harvesting Meta-Alloys from them may have unforeseen consequences. The Xenological Research Institute sends representatives to Maia to discuss the issue with Professor Ishmael Palin.
*Turbo Blue Netcoms Exchange denies allegations that it bankrolled the unauthorised Buckyball Racing Club event known as the "Turbo Hour Endurance Race" scheduled to run alongside the station's annual air show and starship exhibition from January 25 to February 12.
*Professor Ishmael Palin responds to Professor Violet Belbin's statement, saying her concerns are misplaced and that his team will take every precaution when handling Meta-Alloys.
*Amid calls for transparency from the families of victims of the Highliner Antares disaster, Sirius Corporation reveals that the ship's wreckage was found in the Luyten 205-128 system, and that no organic remains were uncovered.
*Dr. Arcanonn of the Canonn Interstellar Research Group moves to an undisclosed location for his safety after he receives death threats in response to urging the galactic community to search for alien barnacles. The senders of the threats appear to believe that tampering with the barnacles will lead to humanity's annihilation.
*Buckyball Racing Club champion Commander Alot completes a trip from Sol to Sagittarius A* in 7 hours and 56 minutes, breaking the previous record of 11 hours and 46 minutes set by Commander Anuranium in April 3301.
*The Imperial Inquisition launches an initiative to upgrade the shipyard and outfitting services of their base, the planetary outpost i Sola Prospect in Brestla.
*Federal President Zachary Hudson announces a campaign to search for Starship One, which was lost last year with then-President Jasmina Halsey, Vice President Ethan Naylor, and hundreds of other staff and crew aboard. Pilots are asked to deliver wreckage for analysis at Leoniceno Orbital in Azaleach. Mysteriously, the faction Daurtu Jet Comms PLC sets up a competing search campaign and refuses to divulge its intentions.
*Professor Ishmael Palin confirms that the so-called technological plague is caused by Unknown Artefacts, which extract non-organic materials from their immediate environment to repair themselves. Research continues into how Meta-Alloys may be used to counteract this self-repair mechanism.
*Anti-meta-alloy protests break out at Obsidian Orbital, resulting in a blockade of the station's entrance. Pilots making deliveries of Meta-Alloys report coming under attack from the protestors.
*Pilots report receiving strange encrypted messages in the local public news feeds at certain starports.
*An unidentified Diamondback Explorer with the markings "S6: 7" is reported making a high-speed pass near Obsidian Orbital and scanning the station.
