Line 1,392:
*Multiple starports recently targeted by the Thargoids report experiencing cascading systems failues that shut down their alignment thrusters, causing them to begin falling from orbit. The problem was most acute at The Oracle in Delphi, which nearly collided into Delphi 5 a. Disaster is averted by station engineers, and all affected starports are restored to stable orbits. Amid fears that the systems failures were the effect of a new Thargoid tactic rather than a coincidence, starport staff across the galaxy begin addressing this design vulnerability.
*The Federal Navy bars the Aegis megaship Alexandria from entering Federal systems to prevent Thargoids from following it and causing more incursions. Admiral Aden Tanner announces that after HIP 16538 has been cleared of Thargoids, the Alexandria will jump to a system with a minimal population to offload its cargo Guardian artefacts.
*As the Alliance Assembly begins voting to determine the Alliance's prime minister for the next six years, incumbent Edmund Mahon's public initiative triumphs over Councillor Nakato Kaine's, and he launches a second phase to mine tritium to fuel the construction of five new starports in the systems LHS 2522, Sharru Sector FW-W c1-19, Bei Dou Sector ZZ-Y b0, LFT 814, and Herculis Sector IW-W b1-3. Opinion polls indicate Mahon's victory in the election is assured, but challenger Kaine has created a broad base of support for herself.
