Line 1,414:
*Aegis Research and Taurus Mining Ventures announce rival campaigns to collect Guardian artefacts aboard their respective megaships, the Archimedes and the Glorious Prospect, in PMD2009 48. Aegis desperately needs Guardian artefacts in order to continue its research, but Salvation, through his proxy Taurus Mining Ventures, insists that since the Proteus site was discovered using his information, he holds exclusive rights to exploit it. Aegis pledges to temporarily reduce Guardian Technology Broker module costs for all pilots should it accrue the most artefacts. If Taurus Mining Ventures succeeds instead, it will reward its supporters with an illegal double-modified Guardian Shard Cannon.
*Alliance Prime Minister Edmund Mahon inaugurates two new starports, Enterprise Market in LHS 2522 and Prosperity Core in Sharru Sector FW-W c1-19, that were built by his recent tritium mining project. Councillor Nakato Kaine ignites controversy when she exposes irregularities in the project: an insufficient amount of tritium had been mined to construct both starports and Sirius Corporation had apparently made up the shortfall with a series of unregistered donations. Kaine accuses Mahon of making a backroom deal. In its response, the Office of the Prime Minister states only that Sirius Corporation is one of many partners in the Alliance's expansion programme.
*Senator Lorcan Scordato returns to the Imperial Senate from his fact-finding mission in the Marlinist Colonies and proposes that the Empire formally open diplomatic relations with the Marlinists, but encounters opposition from Senator Denton Patreus and others. The Alliance and Federation debate similar measures, and First Minister Jenna Fairfax announces that the Marlinist Colonies are planning to create a diplomatic corps.
