The third phase of the Colonia Bridge project launched on January 6, 3308 as scheduled. Brewer Corporation revealed that this segment of the initiative would seek to construct up to six [[starport]]s along the Alcor-Colonia route. The top five participants in Alcor and the number one participant in Colonia would be given the opportunity to name the starports, and the Class 3, 4, and 6 pre-Engineered Frame Shift Drives provided as bonus rewards in the second phase were also offered as rewards for the third. The starports were expected to be completed by January 27, and their services would be implemented at a later date.<ref name="Bridge Three">[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61d6ea1800cc271e9f3c82d1 GalNet: Colonia Bridge Project Launches Phase Three]</ref> | The third phase of the Colonia Bridge project launched on January 6, 3308 as scheduled.

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots' Federation ALERT*<br/>The third phase of [[Brewer Corporation]]'s Colonia Bridge project has proven successful, according to a recent announcement. Shipments of [[Ceramic Composites|ceramic composites]], [[Computer Components|computer components]] and [[Thermal Cooling Units|thermal cooling units]] were transported in large numbers to [[Jaques Station]] in the [[Colonia]] system and Macdonald Settlement in the Alcor system. As a result, several new [[starport]]s will be constructed along the [[Colonia Connection Highway|travel corridor to Colonia]]. Brewer Corporation released this statement regarding the initiative: "Once again, we owe a great deal to the pilots who brought us so many vital resources. We can now proceed with constructing one starport in the vicinity of Colonia and 5 starports in systems branching out from Alcor. These will increase the value of the Colonia Bridge for travellers, tourists and commercial interests alike. The starport infrastructures are scheduled to be built by the 27th of January. Initially they will provide rearm, refuel and repair services, but will lack markets and other facilities. The distances involved in ferrying equipment to these locations means that these starports will become fully operational in stages over a period of weeks. Contributors will be able to collect their rewards from Jaques Station and Macdonald Settlement from the 14th of January. The proposed [[Engineers|engineered]] [[Frame Shift Drive|frame shift drives]] for those eligible will follow at a later date. The dedicated pilots who provided the most deliveries in Alcor and Colonia will receive invitations to submit suggestions to name the new starports, subject to review."<ref name="Delivered Bridge" /> | |||

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots' Federation ALERT*<br/>[[Brewer Corporation]] intends to improve the [[Colonia Connection Highway|travel corridor]] between the Alcor and [[Colonia]] systems by constructing several new [[starport]]s. The previous two phases of the Colonia Bridge project established stationary [[megaship]]s in 56 systems. These provide rest, refuel and repair facilities for vessels making the 22,000 light year journey to and from the [[Colonia Region|Colonia region]]. The additional infrastructure has also increased the amount of [[tritium]] available at these markets, easing the journey for capital-size ships. A press release from Brewer Corporation outlined this latest initiative: "Phase three aims to enhance the Colonia Bridge by building permanent starports in key locations along the route. These will offer a wide range of services to travellers, and also serve as homes for the many new communities that we expect to spring up around them. Our plan is to construct one starport in the vicinity of Colonia, and up to five starports stretching out from Alcor. Station structures will be assembled by the 27th of January, with additional services scheduled for implementation at a later date. Pilots are asked to deliver [[Ceramic Composites|ceramic composites]], [[Computer Components|computer components]] and [[Thermal Cooling Units|thermal cooling units]] to [[Jaques Station]] in the Colonia system and Macdonald Settlement in the Alcor system. Assuming deliveries reach the required level, [[Engineers|engineered]] [[Frame Shift Drive|frame shift drives]] will once again be available as rewards. The highest contributor in Colonia, and up to the top five contributors in Alcor, will be invited to submit naming suggestions for the new starports. All name submissions will be subject to review by the Brewer Corporation board of directors."<ref name="Bridge Three" /> | *<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots' Federation ALERT*<br/>[[Brewer Corporation]] intends to improve the [[Colonia Connection Highway|travel corridor]] between the Alcor and [[Colonia]] systems by constructing several new [[starport]]s.
