Dodec Station Enters Full Production Availability
Brewer Corporation has confirmed that the Dodec Station has entered full production.
Previously available in limited numbers, the Dodec is the largest Tier 3 starport that can be constructed for use in colonisation efforts.
Brewer Corporation CEO Madelyn Teague issued the following statement to Vox Galactica:
“The Dodec is the pinnacle of modern station design. Available with three truss variations and immediate access to a Human Tech Broker, it’s simply the best option available for those looking to colonise new systems and to offer services to all who visit.”
The Dodec is now widely available for purchase through Colonisation contacts.

Criminal Factions Remains Silent After Lhou Mans Attacks
Questions remain unanswered following last week’s unprovoked attacks on starport facilities across Lhou Mans.
Security analysts stated that the attacks bore remarkable similarities to last month’s coordinated attacks across military installations in the core systems.
“These patterns are usually reserved for military trials and reconnaissance operations,” a senior security observer told Vox Galactica.
“Simulated attacks are used to probe response times, defensive weak points and the speed with which system security can coordinate with independent pilots.”
Similar data malware packages bearing the hallmarks of twin axe motifs have also been witnessed across Lhou Mans networks.
Crime correspondent Mira Bukowski has revealed evidence from underworld sources allegedly linking the motif to a rogue pirate admiral going by the nom de guerre ‘Lady Zi’ and a coalition fleet directed by a single criminal syndicate.
“Very few are willing to share more details on who Lady Zi is. We don’t know if this is because they are unaware, or if they’re simply scared,” she added.
With evacuation efforts still under way, the attackers’ true motives remain unclear for now. Yet investigators warn that Lhou Mans may have been selected for reasons beyond simple disruption.

Civilians Evacuated Safely as Criminal Attacks Defeated
Security forces and independent combat pilots successfully protected rescue efforts after the recent attacks in Lhou Mans.
An alleged coalition of pirate ships hit starports across the system, triggering the evacuation of civilians to safer locations.
Defence forces managed to defeat and drive out the remaining criminals leaving many to wonder what to expect next from Lady Zi. However, analysts are now confident that all signs are pointing towards larger and bolder coordinated criminal activities than have previously been experienced in the past.
“The leading theory is that this was a ‘test run’ of sorts, probing system and port defences in this area of space,” Mira Bukowski wrote for Vox Galactica. “What the next phase of this plan could entail is a source of concern for local authorities.”
Meanwhile, a Zorgon Peterson spokesperson remarked that the new Lynx Highliner performed better than expected under the extreme circumstances.
Engineers monitoring the vessels internal data also showed that the new Mk II cabins outperformed previous cabin modules for comfort even under the most testing of conditions.
With the safe evacuation deemed a success and the new Highliner now available for full distribution across core systems, attention has now turned to repairing the starports damaged in the attack.
Lhou Mans authorities are calling to aid repair efforts and interested pilots should register at Ryman Enterprise.

Jaques Station Celebrates Tenth Anniversary of Historic Jump
Today marks the tenth anniversary of the Jaques Station’s historic jump that eventually led to the founding of Colonia.
Following a successful community drive to supply the Orbis starport with fuel the week before, the station departed for its intended journey to Beagle Point. However, due to Thargoid sensor interference, it emerged from hyperspace in the Eol Prou RS-T d3-94 system. This system later became known as Colonia.
Jaques, the cyborg bartender and owner of the starport, recalled that event with Vox Galactica:
“I remember that day so vividly! A wildly ambitious endeavour at the time, too. It’s hard to imagine ever doing that again.”
“Ten years later and Jaques Station is still open, still serving drinks and still selling my famous Jaques Quinentian Still to potent potable enthusiasts. Most importantly, Colonia is thriving. It’s high time we celebrated this, I’d say!”
When pressed for more information Jaques simply replied “Soon” with a cybernetic wink, and hinted that the intended celebrations to mark Colonia’s tenth anniversary would have a lasting impact should plan go well.
Vox Galactica will be in regular contact with Jaques and the Colonia Council and provide updates ahead of this auspicious occasion.

Lhou Mans Starports Return to Full Operation
Starports damaged in recent attacks across the Lhou Mans system have been successfully repaired.
The stations bore the brunt of a recent rise in extreme and organised criminal activity allegedly led by the notorious pirate figure known only as Lady Zi.
A joint exercise between system security forces and independent pilots drove hostile forces from Lhou Mans and allowed for the safe evacuation of passengers stranded on the damaged stations before repair efforts could begin.
Following the successful delivery of commodities needed to complete the repairs, system authorities have now confirmed that Dashiell Port, Sabine Gateway, Ryman Enterprise and Webb City are fully operational, with normal services now resuming.
No further sightings of Lady Zi’s pirate fleet have been reported in the system and surrounding areas leaving many to question where they could strike next.

Guardian Archive Hints at Ancient Radicoida Parallels
Ram Tah has confirmed the existence of previous mention of what appears to be Radicoida unica in the Guardian Archives.
In a statement issued to Leon Banerjee, science correspondent for Vox Galactica, he revealed that in the weeks since the discovery of the rare flora, he has been re-examining Archive data in the hope it would elicit more information about the plant’s past origins.
Ram Tah referenced archive passages describing a “kingdom of blessed roots,” alongside accounts of a substance derived from seed pods used by Guardian factions that rejected advanced technology.
“These traditionalist groups appear to have utilised a naturally occurring compound to enhance their warriors prior to battle during their civil wars,” he explained.
“While much of the context remains unclear, the descriptions are striking.”
Additionally, accompanying diagrams within the recovered data include biological schematics that bear a strong resemblance to recent resonance imaging of Radicoida unica.
“It was unfortunate, however, that a member of my team got way ahead of himself and alerted the October Consortium without permission about my discovery,” he added.
“I can only assume this is what prompted their sudden interest in Guardian artefacts. We were willing to share this information, after all.”
The implications of this discovery remain uncertain, although many now widely believe it may point to a far older, deliberate connection between the species of flora and the long-extinct Guardians.
