*<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able to assist, as the operational shutdown enforced by the public inquiry has led to many ships and pilots being withdrawn from service.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> | |||

*The anonymous [[Salvation]] commands much support in the galactic community, but a resistance movement has emerged to sabotage his efforts. [[Vox Galactica]] featured a special report from freelance journalist [[Alexei Keel]]: "In his self-proclaimed war against the [[Thargoid]]s, Salvation recently scored a major victory by eliminating their forces from the Cornsar system. But the ongoing mystery around the identity of this 'man of science', as well as his controversial methods, have led to a backlash. To deliver vital components for his mysterious anti-xeno weapon, Salvation once again recruited independent pilots, directly messaging those who had performed tasks for him before. However, this time a counter-initiative was formed by those who did not trust his motivations. It was also supported by believers in non-aggression against the Thargoids, and others who feared that the weapon might endanger Cornsar's population. Their actions involved acquiring the components, which were disguised as [[Basic Medicines|basic medicines]], but destroying rather than delivering them. Whether or not this partial blockade impacted the weapon's effectiveness remains unknown, but it acted as a substantial opposition to Salvation's scheme. [[Aegis]] is investigating the Cornsar incident, but with faith in that organisation at an all-time low, individual [[Commander]]s are now taking matters into their own hands. Time will tell if Salvation's ambition to replace Aegis is a noble goal, or if we are replacing the devil we know with a darker demon."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/6151b37e8395d050bb7eae36 GalNet: Salvation: Friend or Foe?]</ref> | *The anonymous [[Salvation]] commands much support in the galactic community, but a resistance movement has emerged to sabotage his efforts.
