Interstellar Initiative
Interstellar Initiatives are an upgraded form of Community Goals. They feature a series of in-game events that play out over the course of a month with multiple phases and an evolving narrative. Some Interstellar Initiatives will have a lasting effect on the galaxy, and can add a new module or Synthesis recipe, affect the infrastructure of a system, or even alter the balance of power between the superpowers[1]
Overview
Unlike Community Goals, Interstellar Initiatives do not rely on a week-long drive to collect bounties or specific resources. The first Interstellar Initiative, "Bridging the Gap", began on April 29, 3305 with a poll. The minor faction Zende Partners of the Zende System announced plans to construct a weekly ferry Megaship between the Core Systems and one of five systems in Guardian space, and pilots were invited to vote on their desired candidate system. The selected system would also gain a permanent outpost.
- Phase One: Commencement
- April 29, 3305 - May 6, 3305
- Pilots were invited to vote for one of five candidate systems with Guardian Structures to serve as the terminus for the ferry and site of the outpost.
- Synuefe EN-H d11-96, candidate system #3, won the poll.
- On May 9, 3305, the Megaships The Conduit and Sadler's Song were deployed for the ferry service. Synuefe EN-H d11-96 also gained an outpost, The Prospect, and an installation, Aion Span. In addition, a second outpost was built in Wregoe XQ-L c21-29 as a rest stop.[2]
