*<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> | |||

*The Alexandria has failed to arrive in the HIP 30944 system as scheduled, and may have been [[Hyperdiction|hyperdicted]] by the [[Thargoid]]s. The [[Aegis]]-owned [[megaship]] triggered an attack by Thargoid vessels when it travelled from the [[Delphi]] system to HIP 16538 on the 20th of May. Aegis believes this was caused by the large quantity of [[Guardian]] artefacts in its cargo holds. To reduce the risk of further casualties, the Alexandria plotted a route to a low-population prison colony in the HIP 30944 system. All independent ships were undocked before it made the [[hyperspace]] jump on the 3rd of June. However, the megaship never reached its arrival point and all communication with it has ceased. Search teams in local systems have not detected its presence. Admiral [[Aden Tanner]], chief military liaison with Aegis, informed the media: "We regret to announce a complete loss of contact with the Alexandria. Although there is no evidence of damage or destruction, its disappearance while travelling through hyperspace raises the possibility that it was intercepted en route by Thargoid forces. Captain [[Jacob Morales]] and over four thousand crewmembers will be listed as missing presumed dead. In addition to this great tragedy, Aegis's research programme into Guardian technology has been severely impacted by the loss of many precious artefacts."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/60ba3278b656ac7044388ff8 GalNet: Aegis Megaship Vanishes in Hyperspace]</ref> | *The Alexandria has failed to arrive in the HIP 30944 system as scheduled, and may have been [[Hyperdiction|hyperdicted]] by the [[Thargoid]]s.
