The entrepreneur Zachary Rackham has asked for deliveries of rare items to Edmondson High in the Beta Hydri system.

At a press conference on the planet Homeland, Mr Rackham announced:

"It's not every day that a humble businessman like me celebrates becoming a trillionaire! So I'm holding a week-long party in the upper floors of Rackham's Spire. To make sure my guests are entertained, I'll need to keep my stocks of Apa Vietti from Upaniklis, Gerasian Gueuze Beer from Geras, Pantaa Prayer Sticks from George Pantazis, Uszaian Tree Grubs from Uszaa and Anduliga Fire Works from Anduliga high throughout the entire week."

"I've also arranged for pilots to receive temporary permits to the Beta Hydri system, which will last until the 2nd of June. Anything to make life easier for my trader friends!"

Mr Rackham faced criticism for hosting a celebration at a time when so many have died in recent Thargoid attacks. In response, he claimed he had "a duty to boost public morale by filling the news with happier stories".

Financial reporter Bryanna Blanco commented in The Federal Times:

"The guest list for this party includes politicians, media magnates, publicity gurus, and many others who would prove useful if you were running a presidential campaign. Should Rackham get enough of them on his side – presumably by sparing no expense on their comfort and entertainment – I think he'll officially set his sights on the Federation's top job."

The campaign will run until the 19th May 3308. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.

The Federation is offering bounties on Thargoid vessels in the Sosong system.

Commodore Morag Halloran, who coordinates Salvation's military forces, broadcast this message on public channels:

"Salvation has started construction of three anti-xeno superweapons to expunge the latest Thargoid infestation. He estimates two more weeks before these devices become operational. Until that time, it is vital that we keep the Thargoids at bay to minimise civilian casualties."

The anti-xeno taskforce of the Federal Navy is part of a joint operation to buy time for the superweapons to be completed. This includes rewarding independent pilots for defending the Sosong system.

Commanders can hand in combat bonds for Thargoid kills until the 12th of May 3308 at Sturckow Orbital in the Lesheima system.

Jade Sanderlyn, a reporter for Vox Galactica, has been granted permission to interview the admirals in command of the taskforces. Her conversation with Admiral Maxton Price is being broadcast by the flagship FNS Amphion in Sosong and will be syndicated via newsfeeds.

The campaign begins on the 28th April and will run until the 12th May 3308.

The Empire is offering bounties on Thargoid vessels in the Novas system.

Commanders have been asked to collect meta-alloys from Thargoid barnacles as part of a wider xenological study.

The research project is being orchestrated by Professor Ishmael Palin, one of the most prominent experts in Thargoid technology:

"With escalating Thargoid activity in the core systems, it is increasingly important that we learn as much as possible about this species. Only through scientific study can we better comprehend their biomechanical nature and, where possible, enhance our defences against it."

"The initial phase requires fresh samples of meta-alloys, the unique material used in the construction of Thargoid vessels. These can be harvested from barnacles that the Thargoids have seeded on selected planets."

Pilots can deliver meta-alloys to the starport James Sneddon in the Morten-Marte system. As part of the Federal Reclamation Co's support for this initiative, the station's market offers a high price for any Thargoid tissue samples.

In addition to credit payments for all those delivering meta-alloys, class 4A, 5A and 6A corrosion resistant cargo racks will be available to selected contributors. The 5A and 6A versions have been exclusively manufactured for this project, and are not commercially available at present.

Professor Palin stated that possessing these cargo racks will be of great benefit in the project's planned second phase, scheduled to occur in the next few weeks.

The cargo racks will be awarded as follows:

Top 75%: 4A Corrosion Resistant Cargo Rack (capacity 16)
Top 50%: 5A Corrosion Resistant Cargo Rack (capacity 32)
Top 10%: 6A Corrosion Resistant Cargo Rack (capacity 64)

The campaign will run until the 12th May 3308. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.

The Alliance is offering bounties on Thargoid vessels in the Didio system.

Commodore Morag Halloran, who coordinates Salvation's military forces, broadcast this message on public channels:

Commanders can hand in combat bonds for Thargoid kills until the 12th of May 3308 at the megaship Plymouth Howl in the Ch'anjie system.

Jade Sanderlyn, a reporter for Vox Galactica, has been granted permission to interview the admirals in command of the taskforces. Her conversation with Admiral Rachel Ziegler is being broadcast by the flagship Salote Charm in Didio and will be syndicated via newsfeeds.

The campaign begins on the 28th April and will run until the 12th May 3308.
