*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots' Federation ALERT*<br/>The [[Aegis]] [[megaship]] [[Alexandria]], which vanished in [[hyperspace]] seven months ago, has been found in the Wregoe TC-X B29-0 system. A select group of independent pilots located the Alexandria following a search instigated by Professor [[Alba Tesreau]], former head of research at Aegis. She was forced to resign as a result of the Baumann Report, which was instigated by the controversial loss of this megaship. In June 3307, the Alexandria was pursued by [[Thargoid]] vessels due to a considerable number of [[Guardian]] artefacts held on board. It initiated a hyperspace jump to the HIP 30944 system to offload its cargo but never arrived. The megaship was assumed to have been [[Hyperdiction|hyperdicted]] by the Thargoids, resulting in the death of all four thousand crewmembers. According to on-site witnesses, the remains of the Alexandria are currently scattered across the planetary rings of Wregoe TC-X b29-0 AB 2 A. Ships are investigating the debris, but so far have not reported finding any survivors or Guardian relics. Chief Administrator [[Carter Armstrong]] made a public statement: "Losing the Alexandria was as tragic as it was mysterious, but we now have an opportunity to learn what happened. Aegis should remain operational until a full analysis has been completed and we can understand the cause of the megaship's destruction."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61eaaf193da577017e06bf44 GalNet: The Return of the Alexandria]</ref> | |||

*The [[Alliance]], [[Empire]] and [[Federation]] have accepted the Baumann Report's recommendation to permanently shut down [[Aegis]]. The independent inquiry's findings on the organisation's failings will result in Aegis being immediately shut down. However, Chief Administrator [[Carter Armstrong]] has cautioned that "full demobilisation of staff, ships and resources might take several months". [[Senator]] [[Denton Patreus]] has successfully obtained senatorial approval for an increased military budget, to allow the [[Imperial Navy]] to directly take on the role played by Aegis. [[Admiral of the Fleet|Fleet Admiral]] [[Tayo Maikori]] likewise confirmed that the [[Federal Congress]] has ordered the creation of a new naval strike force. On his own authority he has also commissioned an investigation into [[Salvation]], following [[Ram Tah]]'s testimony regarding the nature of the [[anti-xeno superweapon]]. Admiral [[Nikolas Glass]], who was recently appointed to the [[Council of Admirals]], stated that the [[Alliance Defence Force]] and [[Sirius Navy]] will work in conjunction to fulfil Aegis's purpose. Xenological research laboratories set up by Professor [[Alba Tesreau]] will now transfer their work to specialist departments in the [[Holloway Bioscience Institute]], [[Imperial Science Academy]] and [[Olympus Village University]]. In 3304 the [[Thargoid]]s made targeted strikes against Aegis's labs, but all three institutions have made assurances that the new locations will have the highest security.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61e6ba29f6b3cd47d1758763 GalNet: Superpowers Plan to Replace Aegis]</ref> | *The [[Alliance]], [[Empire]] and [[Federation]] have accepted the Baumann Report's recommendation to permanently shut down [[Aegis]].
