Third Distant Worlds Expedition Requests Materials for Deep-Space Infrastructure Project
The Distant Worlds working group has issued a call for mined and manufactured materials to support the construction of a new deep-space facility, intended to aid future exploration of remote galactic regions far beyond established survey routes.
Hermine Delarue, Executive Operative for Deep Space Surveys, stated:
“DSS has longstanding experience in supporting large-scale exploration efforts, most notably the construction of Explorers’ Anchorage during the Distant Worlds II initiative in 3305.”
“This new project focuses on preparing a remote site for long-range scientific operations. We aim to establish essential infrastructure for survey crews venturing into seldom-charted regions. Independent pilots are invited to help lay the foundations for the next era of deep-space discovery.”
Timotheus Haddard, quartermaster for an affiliated Distant Worlds support carrier, added:
“Initial requirements centre on core construction needs. We’re currently prioritising bromellite, power generators and thermal cooling units to begin establishing the primary framework.”
All interested parties have been invited to head to Alrai and register at Surveyor’s Reach before delivering the required commodities. DSS are reportedly offering a class 5 pre-engineered cargo rack to project contributors.
The expedition itself begins on the 18th of January, and organisers have issued an open invitation to any Commanders that wish to join the adventure.

Distant Worlds Expedition Preparations Conclude Successfully
The Distant Worlds appeal for construction materials has concluded, with the initial infrastructure requested now fully delivered.
Organisers confirmed that target quotas for power generators, bertrandite and thermal cooling units were met ahead of schedule, with surplus supplies allocated for follow-on works.
Hermine Delarue, Executive Operative of Deep Space Surveys, issued the following statement:
“Commanders have once again demonstrated that the exploration community can build as well as discover. The core requisition targets are complete, the site has been fully surveyed, and our teams can now begin calibrating deep-range survey systems.”
“These foundations will support exploration efforts well beyond established scouting routes, with Deep Space Surveys continuing its work at the frontier.”
Timotheus Haddard, quartermaster for the Distant Worlds support carrier, also commented on the outcome:
“The logistical demands were significant and timelines were tight, but the response from independent pilots exceeded expectations. Material convoys arrived on schedule, and coordination between haulers and escort wings ensured steady delivery throughout the campaign.”
Contributing pilots can now collect their rewards at Surveyor’s Reach in Alrai.
A technical briefing on the completed works will be released once the new station has been deployed, which due to its deep space location, is estimated for March 3312.
Meanwhile, the Distant Worlds III expedition is set to begin tomorrow, departing from the NGC 1981 Sector ZU-Y d27 system. All Commanders wishing to participate have been invited to join the expedition.

Type-11 Prospector Enters Full Production
Lakon Spaceways has confirmed that the Type-11 Prospector has entered full production, with deliveries now rolling out to shipyards across the core systems.
Previously available through limited release, the Type-11 Prospector has been developed as a dedicated laser mining vessel. Early analytics suggest widespread adoption by the mining community due to its higher extraction yields and expanded limpet capacity.
A Lakon Spaceways spokesperson remarked:
“The Type-11 Prospector was designed to meet the practical needs of modern mining operations. Its optimised large hardpoint and larger limpet system allow pilots to maintain consistently higher yields in demanding environments.”
“The vessel also features a dedicated fighter bay to improve defence against pirate attacks in less secure ringed and belt systems.”
The Type-11 Prospector is now available for purchase at shipyards throughout the core systems.
