A mining initiative is being held in the LHS 3872 system, as Torval Mining Ltd welcomes its new CEO.

Senator Zemina Torval, owner of the Imperial company until recently, has formally transferred her controlling shares to her eldest daughter. Constantia Torval was already director of operations, but will now oversee all corporate decision making from the highest chair.

From the press suite on Curbeam Hub starport, Ms Torval gave an announcement:

"My mother's tireless efforts to build a corporation worthy of our family name have brought enormous success and esteem to the Torval portfolio. It is my honour to continue supplying vital resources to the great industries that drive our Empire."

"To mark the occasion, Torval Mining Ltd offers generous payments for newly mined quantities of lithium hydroxide, painite, praseodymium and tritium. The campaign is being managed by the Aristocrats of Cuacocha, who will receive shipments at Curbeam Hub in LHS 3872. This follows my new policy to subcontract mining operations to other Imperial factions, in order to meet expanded resource extraction quotas."

"A Torval Mining Ltd mining laser will also be awarded to those pilots who make a concerted effort to support our endeavours."

The top 75% of contributors will receive a pre-engineered Mining Laser with the Long Range modification. The module offers increased range and reduced thermal load and power draw, at the cost of reduced module integrity.

The campaign begins on the 16th of November and will run for one week. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.

Pilots' Federation ALERT Commanders have been asked to help destroy the rogue Grey Swan pilots killing civilians in the Shamash system.

Military squadrons taking part in Fleet Exercise Grey Swan became irrationally violent following an unexplained mass hysteria that swept through Garrett Orbital during a fleet training exercise. Captain Ulrich Maurer, commanding officer of the San Tu State Network megaship Khonsu Gleam, broadcast the following message:

"Shamash Future's security forces have asked us to help stop the carnage taking place throughout this system. No medical or technological solution has been found for affected pilots, who seem reluctant to leave Shamash. Therefore, to prevent the loss of more innocent lives, there is regrettably no choice but to eliminate every ship in the Grey Swan fleet."

"We are urgently seeking to recruit independent pilots with combat experience. Financial rewards and other incentives will be available at the Khonsu Gleam. Hopefully we can perform this unpleasant task as efficiently as possible."

Wing Commander Mackenzie Coates was coordinating Fleet Exercise Grey Swan when the signal caused its crews to become homicidal. She told a local newsfeed:

"This is a nightmarish situation. I'm trained to deal with pirates, invaders and even Thargoids, not to hunt down my own friends and colleagues. The thought of them being turned into deranged savages… I know they wouldn't want to live like that. But I can't be the one to pull the trigger – there are survivors on Garrett Orbital who need my help."

As an additional incentive, the top ten individual contributors will receive a Wraith Spectre Sand suit, available from November 3rd.

Participants are advised that the Khonsu Gleam aims to complete the combat operation by Wednesday 1st November.

A series of public events to celebrate the forthcoming presidential election are being held in the Sol system.

Congress approved a request by President Zachary Hudson to finance a range of festivities, concerts and shows across the home system of the Federation.

Billions of people are expected to attend, leading to a request for supplies of Crystalline Spheres, Gerasian Gueuze Beer, Indi Bourbon, LTT Hyper Sweet and Pantaa Prayer Sticks to be delivered to Li Qing Jao starport in orbit over planet Earth . Congress also agreed to authorise a temporary two-week permit for all Pilots' Federation members to access the Sol system.

President Hudson announced the events across all Federal news channels, where he said:

"Now we approach the time, as determined centuries ago by the Federal Accord, of our civilisation's most profound tradition: the peaceful transfer of power. I have been deeply honoured to serve as your president for the past eight years. And you, the people of the galaxy's largest ever democracy, deserve to celebrate all that we have accomplished together."

Vox Galactica's political journalist Conrad Sterling observed:

"This is clearly a high-profile attempt to boost public morale, one that allows President Hudson to leave office on a positive note. Political critics are viewing it as a way to distract the citizens from the prolonged Thargoid war, the recent Rackham scandal, and various other challenges besetting the Federation. But the eagerness of most citizens to embrace the sentiment proves one fact remains true: everyone loves a party."

As an additional incentive, the Federal Congress is offering paint jobs and festive flak launchers to qualifying participants.

Top 75%: Two Festive Flak Launchers

Top 50%: Federal Gunship Duty Counter paintjob

Top 25%: Federal Corvette Duty Counter paintjob

Voting will open next Thursday for eligible Federal citizens to choose either Vice President Jerome Archer or Shadow President Felicia Winters as their next president. The election winner will be announced at the start of the following week.

The campaign begins on the 5th October and will run for one week. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.

Aegis has requested materials to construct sub-surface extraction missiles that recover imprisoned humans from the Titans.

Professor Alba Tesreau, head of Aegis, announced:

"Using blueprints provided by Sirius Corporation, engineering teams have worked around the clock to modify sub-surface displacement munitions. These adaptations enable the projectiles to breach sections of the Titans' hulls and jettison the bio-storage capsules embedded within."

"We could spend the next few months in a testing cycle, and ideally that would be the case – but lives are at risk and we can't be sure how much time our missing have. Therefore, we have approved mass production of these sub-surface extraction missiles. Industrial materials are urgently needed to establish assembly centres, so that we can distribute them as rapidly as possible."

Princess Aisling Duval, who is coordinating the Empire's involvement with Aegis, transmitted a personal message:

"My heart goes out to the families and friends of the millions unaccounted for following the Thargoid invasions. But I urge you all to hold onto the hope of seeing your loved ones again. With this breakthrough, we finally have a chance to rescue some of those poor souls. Nobody doubts that this will be dangerous, and yet if this war has proved anything, it's that we can rise to any challenge when we work together."

Aegis has requested shipments of CMM composites, copper, insulating membrane, neofabric insulation and osmium, to be delivered to Springer Gateway in the Senlu system.

As an additional incentive, participating Commanders will receive:

Top 75%: Federal Gunship Aegis Garrison Paintjob Alliance Crusader Aegis Garrison Paintjob Imperial Clipper Aegis Garrison Paintjob

Top 50%: One Sub-surface Extraction Missile

Top 25%: Two Sub-surface Extraction Missiles

The campaign begins on the 28th September and will run for one week. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.

To protect transports, bounty vouchers for all wanted ships in the system will be redeemed by the Green Party of Senlu at Springer Gateway in the Senlu system.
