Expedition Launches — Everything as Usual On the 30.11.2955, all participants for the Hemera’s Rising Operation, directed by the Office of Naval Intelligence under Director Mackson, arrived at Port Tressler. The plan for the operation was to both explore the Nyx system and the two currently open gateways leading to it from Stanton and Pyro, but more importantly, to re-establish the intelligence connection with the People’s Alliance on Levski. It was a much-anticipated operation, both for its importance to local intelligence operatives and for the deeper exploration of the beautiful Glacier Rings of Nyx. No major threats were expected as… Read more →

Friday 21 November 2955 was a special day for the USC and its members, celebrating several things at once and reaching out to long-lost allies after a long period of silence, during what became one of the largest events the Confederation has hosted in some time. Welcoming the RSI Perseus into the Fleet One of the most highly anticipated moments was the arrival of the RSI Perseus heavy gunship. The Perseus is not a new design—the first model dates back to the 2520s, originally serving as a patrol vessel, most commonly seen along the Perry Line, where it became a… Read more →

As… Read more →

To those new to the celebration or those who still partake but don’t know exactly why things are done in the way that they are, this article… Read more →

October 19 2955 Today marked a rather welcoming change in more ways than one, as the USC organized and invited a few, this reporter included, potential new citizens to a small get together tour around Microtech. Thinking of it as a slight meet and greet, with the objective of answering any questions one might have about the USC and life in the ‘verse as it were, is definitely helpful. Organized by Michael Sanatas, otherwise known as “Dekan” by his callsign, the gathered group featured a good mix of USC veterans and newcomers alike meeting up in the lobby of Port… Read more →

The First Batch of Paladins ArrivesFriday, October 17th, 2955 — A first group of five USC Paladins launched from Everus Harbor for their first major combat engagement. The Anvil Paladin barrage gunship had been highly anticipated by the Ministry of Security Services (MSS) to fill the role of escort and patrol ship, offering strong armor and shields, powerful weaponry, and the ability to operate with a minimum crew of just two. On paper, it was a great ship — but now it was time to put it to the test. The initial plan was for the fleet to deploy in… Read more →
