Authorities in the Lhou Mans system have issued an urgent call for assistance following a series of attacks on local tourist facilities.
Although security forces successfully prevented further attacks, Dashiell Port, Sabine Gateway, Ryman Enterprise and Webb City all suffered heavy damage during the raids.
Independent pilots have been asked to evacuate stranded civilians to safety from all ports within the system to nearby systems while emergency teams secure the damaged facilities.
A Zorgon Peterson representative issued this statement to Vox Galactica following the news of the attacks:
“We have accelerated the shipyard release of the new Lynx Highliner to assist with any evacuation efforts in light of these attacks.”
“The Lynx Highliner’s capacity to carry more passengers than any other vessel, together with its multiple hardpoint configuration, has the potential to make a difference where it's needed most in these circumstances.”
Reports indicate that criminal elements remain active in the system. Authorities have requested that independent combat pilots help to eliminate this hostile presence while rescue operations can be completed.
A spokesperson for Lhou Mans system security added:
“We’ve been given no motive for the attacks and the situation remains serious. Help is needed to evacuate those still trapped and ensure all hostiles are driven out of the system.”
Pilots willing to assist should register immediately at Ryman Enterprise in Lhou Mans.

Zorgon Peterson has announced the release of the Lynx Highliner, a new medium ship engineered for maximum passenger capacity.
Designed as a pure passenger liner, the Lynx Highliner prioritises capacity expansion and luxury over versatility and its five hardpoints to provide it with enough defensive capability for even the most dangerous tourist spots.
Engineers have also confirmed the ship will be fitted with supercharged Frame Shift Drives, with a focus on speed, charge rate and deceleration.
A Zorgon Peterson senior technical designer stated:
“The Lynx Highliner was built to provide maximum capacity, and it can be fitted with the new Mk II Class Passenger Cabins, ensuring it takes passengers to their destination in style.”
“The new cabin designs were well received with early focus groups.”, he added.
Due to the overwhelming success of internal design trials, the Lynx Highliner has received the green light for full distribution and is now available for purchase at shipyards throughout the core systems.
