The recent Sirius Corporation campaign to protect starports from Unknown Artefact-related interference is already bearing fruit.
Using material donated by the galactic community, Sirius Corporation scientists have dramatically increased the efficiency of meta-alloy application, thereby restoring many of the starports affected by Unknown Artefact-related disruption.
The corporation's researchers have confirmed that far fewer meta-alloys are now needed to counter Unknown Artefact-related disruption and repair malfunctioning starports.
As the lists below indicate, the number of affected starports has already been reduced, and it is hoped that these lists will only shorten as the weeks go on.
At the time of writing, the following starports remain closed.
Birkhoff Station, Chnemine
Descartes Station, Neche
Dogmaa, Wolfberg
Frick Base, Naurung
Haisheng Orbital, HR 8474
Phillips Terminal, CD-72 190
Roentgen Hub, LFT 37
Tall Enterprise, Ngalia
Tarelkin Dock, LP 462-19
The following starports continue to experience technical issues:
Amnuel Dock, Kwiamoni
Frick Base, Naurung

Following his recent appeal for data from the Synuefe ruins, engineer Ram Tah has released a statement:
"Using the data contributed by the galactic community, I have succeeded in accessing the monolith network. But although I have detected a number of further Guardian sites – which is very exciting – I have not been able to divine their precise locations. All I have been able to do is narrow the field to a handful of systems – specifically Synuefe ZL-J d10-119, Synuefe XO-P c22-17, IC 2391 Sector ZE-A d101 and IC 2391 Sector GW-V b2-4."
"Locating these sites is of central importance to our ongoing research, which is why I am encouraging the galactic community to explore these systems. Together, we can further our understanding of this fascinating race."

This report presents the latest data on the security status of the galaxy's minor factions.
Here are the latest factions to experience a lockdown:
Brotherhood of LP 98-132
Ngaliba Blue Camorra
Lords of Ngaliba
Laedla and Co
Bhotho Rats
LP 811-17 Gold Energy Partners
Attach Federal and Co
Nationalists of Aulin
Aulin Focus
Rajgonta for Equality
When a faction experiences a lockdown, the security rating of the system it controls temporarily increases and the system's wealth temporarily decreases. Bounty hunting activity can shorten the lockdown period.
Here are the latest factions to experience civil unrest:
Wolf 359 Blue Travel Commodities
Potriti Gold Mafia
Kokary Holdings
Alpha Centauri Gold Brotherhood
Xihe Purple Brothers
Ross 490 Mafia
Oho Bajo Public Holdings
Independents of LHS 3262
New CD-61 6801 Flag
Green Party of Lung
Civil unrest is the result of illegal activity. When a faction is affected by civil unrest, the standard of living in the system it controls temporarily decreases, as does the system's wealth. Combat missions and activities can bring civil unrest to an end.
