Together with Prospect's Deep, a Taurus Mining Ventures [[Surface Port]] in Mbooni, Bright Sentinel is one of only two ports that host a [[Technology Broker]] who offers modified versions of the [[Guardian Gauss Cannon]], [[Guardian Plasma Charger]], and [[Guardian Shard Cannon]], but unlike Prospect's Deep, the Bright Sentinel is mobile. | ||
The existence of the Bright Sentinel was first revealed on September 17, 3307, when [[Salvation]] asked for help assembling a new anti-xeno superweapon to repel a [[Thargoid]] invasion in the Cornsar system. Pilots who participated in this project were directed by Captain [[Chae-Won Lee]] of the Heart of Taurus, another Taurus Mining Ventures megaship, to retrieve their rewards in Mbooni. Following a major Thargoid assault on multiple nebulae with human colonies, the Bright Sentinel jumped to [[Merope]] at Salvation's request to distribute a new [[Engineers|Engineered]] anti-xeno module, the Modified Plasma Charger, to local pilots battling the invasion. The vessel remained in Merope from October 28 to November 18, 3307, when it returned to Mbooni.

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots' Federation ALERT*<br/>[[Salvation]] requires vital materials to deploy anti-xeno superweapons in the [[Delphi]], [[Maia]] and [[Merope]] systems. A message was transmitted from the Musashi [[megaship]] by its new commanding officer, Commodore [[Morag Halloran]]: "The [[Thargoid]]s have invaded three key systems, as Salvation anticipated. Preparations have been made to halt their advance, but there is an urgent requirement to collect [[Classified Experimental Equipment|classified experimental equipment]] from the Heart of Taurus in the Qarato system. Pilots must then deliver these shipments to three other megaships: the Musashi in the Delphi system, the Bright Sentinel in the Maia system, and the Glorious Prospect in the Merope system. It is crucial that all deliveries are made by early on Tuesday the 14th of December. Without these components, Salvation's superweapons will not be able to affect enough Thargoid vessels to turn the tide." Commodore Halloran was formerly a member of the [[Alliance Defence Force]], and was in charge of protecting the first expedition to the [[Coalsack Nebula]] in 3306. She is one of hundreds of naval officers and crew from all three superpowers who have resigned their commissions to offer their services to Salvation, believing that only he can defeat the Thargoids.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61b2004bb01f6418d158f6f9 GalNet: Support Salvation's Counterstrike Against the Thargoids]</ref> | |||

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>Several inhabited systems in the [[Pleiades Nebula|Pleiades]] and [[Witch Head Nebula]]s have come under attack by large numbers of [[Thargoid]] ships. An emergency has been declared by the authorities in multiple systems including Asterope, [[Shenve]] and Onoros. Thargoid vessels have again targeted [[starport]]s, with casualties estimated in the many thousands. Increased Thargoid activity has also been reported in the [[California Nebula|California]] and [[Coalsack Nebula]]s. Independent pilots and anti-xeno squadrons are moving to defend the invaded systems and evacuate survivors from damaged starports. [[Aegis]] is not currently able to assist, as the operational shutdown enforced by the public inquiry has led to many ships and pilots being withdrawn from service. Admiral [[Aden Tanner]], chief military liaison to Aegis, commented: "Many of us in Aegis are frustrated that the [[Paul Baumann|Baumann Report]] has tied our hands. I am also convinced that these Thargoids are reacting aggressively to the weapon of mass destruction that Salvation deployed in the Cornsar system. Not only should we be fighting the alien threat, but Salvation must be prevented from escalating the war." The [[Taurus Mining Ventures]] [[megaship]] Bright Sentinel has moved to the [[Merope]] system at [[Salvation]]'s request. Reports indicate that [[Technology Broker|tech brokers]] on board are offering a [[Guardian Plasma Charger|Guardian-hybrid plasma charger]] as well as material cost discounts to support the anti-xeno effort.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/617a92af979938635b475461 GalNet: Thargoid Fleets Invade Nebula Systems]</ref> | *<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>Several inhabited systems in the [[Pleiades Nebula|Pleiades]] and [[Witch Head Nebula]]s have come under attack by large numbers of [[Thargoid]] ships.
