Freelance Report: Leading Scientist Expresses Doubts
Yesterday, Professor Ishmael Palin called upon independent pilots to deliver meta-alloys – produced by the newly discovered ‘barnacles’ in the Pleiades Nebula – to Obsidian Orbital, suggesting that the material could be the cure for the technological virus spreading through inhabited space. But Professor Violet Belbin of the Xenological... Read more
Community Goal: Professor Ishmael Palin Issues Request for Meta-Alloys
A remarkable discovery was made last week when non-human structures were found on a number of planets in the Pleiades Nebula. These ‘barnacles’, as the galactic community has christened them, produce a material known as meta-alloys, the exact properties of which are not yet known. The discovery was followed... Read more
Alien ‘Barnacles’ Discovered in the Pleiades
Dr Arcanonn of the Canonn Interstellar Research Group has released a statement in response to the discovery of non-human structures in the Pleiades Nebula: “This is a momentous day – alien structures have been confirmed on at least two planets in the Pleiades Nebula! I must congratulate Commander Octo,... Read more
Good News from Obsidian Orbital
Following yesterday’s remarkable discovery of non-human structures in the Pleiades Nebula, starport markets have been inundated with meta-alloys – a mysterious material produced by the alien ‘barnacles’. At present, very little is known about this commodity, but it seems it may have helped bring some stability to Obsidian Orbital,... Read more
Obsidian Orbital Continuing to Deteriorate
Recent reports from Obsidian Orbital, one of the starports affected by the mysterious malfunctions sweeping the galaxy, indicate that the situation at the starport has worsened. According to the station’s technical team, the starport is only a hair’s breadth from having to suspend services: “Despite our best efforts, things... Read more
Unidentified Signal in Pleiades Nebula
A fragmentary signal has been received by the flight operations team at Obsidian Orbital in the Maia system. The source of the signal has not been identified, but the strength of signal indicates it originated from a star system approximately 23 light years from Maia. Unfortunately, interference from a...

The Canonn Searching for Barnacles in the Pleiades
Dr Arcanonn, head of the Canonn Interstellar Research Group, has released a statement to the media: “For the past four weeks we have been investigating a curious new commodity called ‘meta-alloys’. Many of my colleagues believe there is a link between this commodity and the unknown artefacts, as meta-alloys... Read more
Starport Project Enters Final Phase
Two weeks ago, the Explorers’ Association began work on a new Ocellus starport in the Pleiades Nebula. The project received financial support from the Brewer Corporation and Universal Cartographics, which offered generous premiums to traders providing essential materials for the construction. Now, with the bulk of the work complete,... Read more
Nascent Starport Targeted by Pirates
Last week, the Explorers’ Association announced plans to construct a starport in the Pleiades Nebula, and issued an appeal for resources. The response to the request was positive and work on the station superstructure is now underway. With the project poised to enter its second phase, the Explorers’ Association... Read more
CIRG Researcher Addresses Artefact Developments
The Voice of Varati recently interviewed the lead researcher at the Canonn Interstellar Research Group, Commander RedWizzard: “We know that the UA’s Morse-transmission behaviour is evolving. It’s almost as if somebody is pushing buttons to trigger different behaviours. It’s very strange. “We’ve also observed that they’re spreading at an... Read more
