*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>[[Aegis|Aegis Research]] and Taurus Mining Ventures have requested deliveries of [[Guardian]] artefacts to the PMD2009 48 system. Their rival campaigns follow the discovery of an ancient battleground between the Guardians and the [[Thargoid]]s on Trapezium Sector YU-X c1-2 1a. [[Patience Middleton]], representing Taurus Mining Ventures, broadcast this statement: "'[[Salvation]]' has claimed the exclusive rights to exploit the Proteus site, which was only discovered because of his specialist knowledge. He has contracted us to pay for Guardian caskets, orbs, relics, tablets, totems and urns brought to the Glorious Prospect [[megaship]]." Aegis Research has also positioned a megaship, the Archimedes, in the PMD2009 48 system. Professor [[Alba Tesreau]] announced: "It is vital that Aegis replaces the Guardian artefacts that were lost aboard the [[Alexandria]]. Without sufficient materials, our anti-xeno research programme will be severely hampered. We recognise the risk that collecting Guardian technology on a megaship may attract the Thargoids, as happened in the [[Delphi]] system. However, this system is much farther from any known areas of Thargoid activity, so we hope to avoid drawing their attention." The [[Alliance]], [[Empire]] and [[Federation]] consider depriving Aegis of resources to be a criminal act. As a result, pilots are warned that any ship modules received from Taurus Mining Ventures will be marked as 'hot', thereby incurring extra costs to be cleaned prior to installation.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/60d487e32dbeb747e3341783 GalNet: Aegis and 'Salvation' Compete for Guardian Artefacts]</ref> | |||

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>An [[Anaconda]] from the [[Hesperus]] [[megaship]] has been found at a historical battlefield on the moon Trapezium Sector YU-X c1-2 1a. The discovery was made by pilots who tracked down a series of [[Listening post|signal beacons]], following instructions provided by the anonymous '[[Salvation]]'. The beacons were deployed by the Hesperus during its voyage nearly 200 years ago. The Anaconda, named Proteus, was one of the megaship's secondary vessels and had been outfitted for long-range exploration. It was used by an [[Azimuth Biochemicals]] science team to flee the Hesperus after the megaship was overtaken by saboteurs from rival company [[Pharmasapien]]. Upon landing, the Proteus was converted into a research facility to study the ancient structures and wreckage on the moon. The proximity of both [[Guardian]] and [[Thargoid]] technology suggests this was the site of a battle fought by the two civilisations over a million years ago, although in 3113 neither species had yet been identified. Professor [[Alba Tesreau]] of [[Aegis|Aegis Research]] gave this statement: "This is a significant xenoarchaeological find – physical evidence of [[Guardian-Thargoid War|the war between the Guardians and the Thargoids]]. Our advance teams are conducting preliminary surveys, and a megaship is being prepared. Following the [[Alexandria]]'s tragic disappearance, we hope this may serve as a fresh source of Guardian artefacts for our anti-xeno research programme."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/60cc9d2606236c5ec30eb969 GalNet: Guardian-Thargoid Battlefield Discovered]</ref> | *<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>An [[Anaconda]] from the [[Hesperus]] [[megaship]] has been found at a historical battlefield on the moon Trapezium Sector YU-X c1-2 1a.
