HIP 22460

HIP 22460 is an uninhabited system near the Pleiades Nebula within the Inner Orion Spur. Prior to 3303, it was a major staging point for the covert paramilitary unit Black Flight and a research hub for Project Seraph, which was analysing two local Thargoid Surface Sites. Access to HIP 22460 is restricted, and requires a permit that can only be obtained by scanning the Listening Post in Synuefe GB-O c9-8.

Once the proteus wave fired anyone in system was disabled. Thargoids will hunt anyone down if they drop from super cruise.

Notes

• Initially, HIP 22460 was not permit-locked, and could be freely visited by players. From the time the permit requirement was added until August 26, 2021, when the permit first became obtainable, players who had previously scanned the system were still able to view its System Map and observed that it contained a Flight Operations Carrier megaship named Overlook, which was controlled by the Pleiades Resource Enterprise, a Federation-aligned minor faction. At the same time the permit became available, Overlook was retconned into a Bulk Cruiser megaship, removing the Pleiades Resource Enterprise's presence in the system.
