The Federation has announced that its campaign to construct a new outpost in the Maia system has received the enthusiastic support of the galactic community. Hundreds of pilots responded to the appeal for construction materials by delivering auto fabricators, titanium, and power generators to Obsidian Orbital in Maia.
A spokesperson for the Pleiades Resource Enterprise, which coordinated the campaign, released a brief statement:
"The potential value of the meta-alloys – to say nothing of the barnacles themselves – is enormous, and it is essential that Imperial efforts to control them be opposed. This new outpost will help us achieve that aim."
"I would like to personally thank those who supported this initiative. Remember – the stars shine brightest on the Federation."
Pilots who contributed to the initiative are now free to collect their rewards from Obsidian Orbital in the Maia system.

Security forces in the Slink's Eye system have reported a dramatic upswing in pirate activity. Reports indicate that the agitators are attacking civilians, disrupting trade and generally causing discord.
In response to this development, the Revolutionary Slink's Eye Liberals has placed a kill order on all wanted ships operating in the Slink's Eye system, and has promised to reward pilots who deliver bounty vouchers to Kelleam Ring. The organisation has also vowed to reimburse those who deliver reactive armour to Kelleam Ring to bolster local security forces.
The campaign begins on the 6th of October and will run for one week. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.
