At 05:50 SST (Sol Standard Time) today Democracy’s Science Division intercepted a worrying message from AXI command (Anti-Xeno Initiative) and the broadcasted feed from CMDR Davak Asterviek within the Pleiades. The message went as followed:

“…After the combined efforts of the Pilots Federation Independent pilots and the AXI, it has become apparent that the recent incursions into human space are unlike any other of late.

After a tireless week of fighting, the Thargoids still hold a “Massive” presence in all systems. This may indicate a significant attempt is underway by the Thargoids to claim back territory. Unlike a normal incursion, these have not dropped their incursion state over time.

As a result, the AXI is treating this as a top priority and we request all available AX pilots to make their way to the affected regions to assist…”

The attacked systems mentioned are all in the Witch Head Nebula and the Pleiades. However, the science division has received word from several sources within the Col Sack and California Nebula that the Thargoid presence there has sharply increased.

It is also worth mentioning that Salvation, the entity responsible for the mass extermination of the Thargoid invasion of the Cornsar last month, has moved it’s mega ship The Bright Sentinel into orbit around A3 in the Merope system. Democracy’s science division suspects Salvation is preparing to make another strike against the Thargoids soon. Should Salvation do this, it is expected we shall see an act of retaliation from the Thargoids following larger than any incursion seen before.

For 187 years since the first Thargoid war an invasion from the Thargoids has seemed tenuous, however, the recent increases in Thargoid numbers and incursions into human space make the odds of an encroaching Thargoid threat seem greater than they ever have before, thus making the acquisition of anti-xeno technology a necessity to the security of democracy at large.

Today Democracy fights the oppressive corporate hand to liberate the home of liberal democracy and our allies on Rhea A1, but Democracy must prepare it’s sword for the fights that lie ahead and the enemy that grows larger outside our walls.

May liberty carry you commanders.
