Pilots' Federation District
Template:Quote The Pilots' Federation District is a subset of star systems within the Core Systems governed by the Pilots Federation and restricted to newly-licensed pilots who have no ranks in Combat, Trade, or Exploration. Stations in these systems offer simple, low-paying missions that can be completed even in a basic Sidewinder, and a rudimentary Outfitting selection is available.
Once a novice pilot gains their first rank in Combat, Trade, or Exploration, they are offered a graduation mission that guides them to the systems outside the Pilots' Federation District, and the permit required to access the district is then permanently revoked.[1][2]
History
The Pilots' Federation District was officially unveiled on April 20, 3305:
A cluster of ten uninhabited systems within the Core Systems was allocated to the Pilots' Federation District and renamed by Universal Cartographics. Five systems were colonized and host a total population of 1,001,000, one was set aside for a Detention Centre, and four were left empty. The district was permit-locked and began operations on 23 April 3305.
On 29 September 3311 (2025) the starter zone was expanded with the following systems:[3]
- HIP 97950 (original starting system in ED: Odyssey)
- Kongoloca
- Ngunabozho
- Arapahoma
