Trellum Dry Dock

Ok, usually I don’t post personal stuff. But here is a picture of Trellum’s newest dry dock.

And a “Making Of” video…

Solian-Raxian Wormhole Discovered

Scientists were unable to determine if the wormhole is as of yet capable of expanding to accomodate larger ships.

Bored Trellum Members Create New Sport

Started by members of Trellum’s government, in order to amuse themselves while they went through their daily trading/mining/lining routines, a new sport has been developed – involving tagging each other with ion cannons.

The rules are fairly simple, whoever had been tagged last was “it”, and you could tag players at any time, at any location. This resulted in large profits for the government, as players tagged each other while orbiting Trellum, generating fines. The game was picking up popularity until a new member of government attempted to tag the president’s CM with his gunship. Fortunately, his escape pod was picked up within the hour.

President e1ement reports that he has received so many distress beacons that if he received another, he’d personally go and kill the person who sent it out. Deals to televise the some-what dubious sport with the CSSN (ChosenSpace Sports News) have so far been unsuccessful.

Galactic Map Updates

Cpt. Tohofuhai has created a Casian map with all the outposts listed on it. Once Torin finishes ironing out the bugs with the sector control and territories map, it will be added to the Galactic Maps section.

If this place seem a little quiet, say something! Please submit story ideas and articles to be published via PM in the forum.

Raxia galaxy opens up!

A new galaxy, termed Raxia by the joint Casian-Solian expedition force was found earlier this CE year.

The earliest reports managed this picture of the galaxy:

Raxians have been found to be what most Solian and Casian members dub “n00bs.” The expeditionary force that found the galaxy were able to get this report before contact was lost.

“Twen – planets…habitable-, not…. m-much… sign…-of… ap…200,000…wait… No-!…so many of them – … newbies! ”

Transmission Ended (Signal Lost)

A strange phenonemom exists in the galaxy that makes it inexplicably inhabitable for Solian and Casian members. Only new players have the ability to survive in the galaxy. Previous Solian and Casian citizens who have tried venturing into the galaxy have been met with destruction – along with their entire faction.

In addition, players who have self-destructed have found it impossible to have their consciousness transplanted into a Raxian body.
