以下是3304年12月1日過去一週的重大新聞:
外星神學專家Alfred Ulyanov博士針對在Etain星系發現遠神(Far God)教徒的遺棄哨站作出評論。在其聲明中,他表示在廢棄站點所取得的資料,對於他與Gethin Okonkwo共同完成以遠神宗教為主題一書非常有幫助。
在當地4a及4c的的定居點(settlement)上,可發現被襲擊的痕跡,但尚且不知是Thargoid抑或是人類所為。博士提到,至少此發現可解釋為何之前教徒會大量失踪,他們即非被捕或遇害,而是逃到哨站避免遭受迫害。
Aegis宣布針對Thargoid探測器(Thargoid Sensor)的研究已有重大突破。研究員成功以微量元合金(meta-alloy)中和Thargoid探測器所帶來的負面影響——導致空間站癱瘓。因此,過去在黑市進行元合金交易,導致空間站停止運作數週甚至數月的情況已不復存在。
此外,Aegis亦在Meene星系部署了防禦力量,以保護工程師Ram Tah。Alba Tesreau表示,防禦部隊能讓Ram Tah得以專注在目前的科研上,免受外界侵擾。在經過Sirius Corporation企業旗下的官員自行派遣私人艦隊侵入Meene、以奪取Ram Tah的成果之事件後,目前並無該企業的最新消息。
數名帝國參議員公開表示其對帝國極端組織——Nova Imperium——的支持。Pal Vespasian參議員提到,該組織的首領Imperator Mordanticus將受邀為眾參議員說明其未來計畫的詳情。此外,Vespasian參議員也對其首領的提案——擁立新皇帝——表示贊同。
Loha星系的紛爭終於高一段落,自由記者Karleen Troy指出,過去的一週堪稱當地人民水深火熱的7天,但該星系的掌控權之爭終究已落幕。
最後,Achilles Corporation公司宣布為用戶替換近來被植入監視程序的管家機器人——PA912。因此,他們開放收購大量的材料(robotics、computer components和microcontrollers)以製造替代品。
以上便是這週的重大新聞。

Week in Review
01 DEC 3304
Here are this week’s major stories.
Exothelogian Dr Alfred Ulyanov has commented on the abandoned Far God outposts recently discovered in the Etain system. In a statement, Dr Ulyanov said that information recovered from the sites would be invaluable to the book he is writing with Gethin Okonkwo about the Far God religion.
Aegis has announced a breakthrough that has effectively neutralised the disruptive effects of Thargoid Sensors on starports. New procedures in the application of meta-alloys mean that extremely small quantities are now sufficient to shield systems from disruption, resulting in a cure for what was once called ‘the technological plague’.
Meanwhile, several Imperial senators have spoken in support of isolationist group Nova Imperium. Senator Pal Vespasian said that Imperator Mordanticus would be invited to address the Senate and detail his policies, and gave his backing to Nova Imperium’s proposal to install a new Emperor.
Aegis has stationed a security force in the Meene system to protect the engineer Ram Tah. Professor Alba Tesreau said the force would provide continual support while allowing Ram Tah’s operation to remain independent. There has been no response from the Sirius Corporation, which recently arrested a cabal of officers from its private fleet for launching an incursion into Meene.
The conflict between two rival factions in the Loha system has now come to an end. Freelance correspondent Karleen Troy reported that it had been a harrowing week for the people of Loha, but said that overall control of the system had finally been established.
Finally, the Achilles Corporation has announced plans to replace all robots destroyed as a result of the recent spy robot scandal. The organisation has placed an open order for quantities of robotics, computer components and microcontrollers, which will be used to produce brand new PA912 administration robots.
And those are the main stories this week.
