H esperus erald Business Hesperus City Stock Exchange opening Today, representatives of the Stratton Investment Group have opened the Hesperus City Stock Exchange (HCSE) to the civilians and citizens of Hesperus. Mainly featured are local companies of Hesperus such as The Hesperus Mining Association or the Hesperan Starship Manufactury. Also listed are the stocks of major companies such as The Morita Arms Corporation, FedCom, ECCO or the Castian Corporation. The price of orders depends on the bid or the amount of stocks purchased so that purchasing major amounts of shares of a company is more expensive than purchasing small amounts of smaller corporations. Orders are taxed and will go directly to the Government of Hesperus. Good gambling!

Hesperus Tribune Water-Filtration-and-Conservation-Act of 2298 First of September, 2298. The Government of Alpha-Centauri around Governor Ramsey have passed a bill to preserve and conserve water on Hesperus. The people of Hesperus shall be encouraged to decrease their water consumption by raising the average price per liter (taxes). Surplus money will be used to finance the new water filtration plant which makes use of the rocky properties of Hesperus. Used water will run through pipelines into a rocky deep basin filled with super-algae already employed on Starships to filtrate water. The water will be monitored for a while and is declared not drinkable, but it is definitely cleared for basic needs such as cooking, cleaning or personal hygiene. It is expected that these measures will significantly cut down required water imports. Should the experiment be deemed a success and the facilities be expanded, Hesperus might become independant from the galactic water exchange. Business Incentives Act of 2298 First of September, 2298. Government speaker A. Lloyd has announced the Business Incentives Act. In order to incentivize major companies to settle on Hesperus, franchises that have openings for 300 or more people (regardless of those people being natives of Hesperus or not) will have a major tax return by the end of the year. It is expected that a headquarter of a major company could net a -50% tax decrease. Brunham, Voight & Gromann and Wyman Arms have been inofficially invited. Insider sources claim that officials with Voight & Gromann are investigating the conditions.

Did we use anything else for Hod?

Today, following the commence of Operation Salvation, the governor of Alpha Centauri spoke to his people infront of the Federal building on Hesperus City, declaring that the Invasion of Hod was bound to happen, finally fulfilling Alpha Centauri's destiny. „Since the beginning of humanity we looked up to the stars and saw Alpha Centauri. Since the beginnings of human space travel, Alpha Centauri was the stepping stone for the Federation, and they knew, everybody knew, if we reached Alpha Centauri, we can reach everything else. It was Hesperus that was the first Stellar Colony, it was expensive and the establishment went way past the deadline. And after Hesperus City was erected, we soon learned that we are not alone in space. Space travel wasn’t just limited to humans – oh no. We have made contact – initial contact – with an unknown object in space, a spaceship, never seen before, then titled as UAR-01. Now we know, the Progenitors were already there, always watching us. They monitored our very first colonisation attempts. They were growing us to harvest us later, but they did not expect the human race to offer fierce resistance. Alpha Centauri, Hesperus, was the first contact with this advanced alien life, the Progenitors. Now, Sol has fallen out of their hands, we have recaptured Earth. The Ark is no more, the Progenitors are but a small pocket on Hod. And today, I stand before you to tell you, that Hesperus was the starting point of the Progenitor Menace, and Hod will be the ultimate end of these alien invaders. It is a dark chapter, the Hesperus Incident has overshadowed our glorious colony of Hesperus and its history. The colony was expensive, the colony was years overdue, the people called this enterprise foolish, but we have repaid every single pound to he Federation and more. The ships of Hesperus are sturdy, finely crafted, known throughout the Milky Way. There’s evidence – clear evidence, Captain’s logbooks – of them saying they wouldn’t have survived space contact if their ship wasn’t launched from a Hesperus Shipyard. And why is that - because of the great people of Alpha Centauri, resilient, precise and tirelessly working. The people of Hesperus are known throughout the Federation. The most glorious Captains of starships are Hesperan – and on every single colony, there’s a human working non-stop in a factory without taking their days off. Coworkers ask if they are crazy, if they don’t ever get tired, if they don't get stressed from work, if they don't get bored – but that man says „No, I’m from Hesperus“. Now, the Hesperus Incident is being overshadowed by the Invasion of Hod again, but now they are here, in our very own system, stranded with no way out. They are here, in Alpha Centauri, and we are seeking to close the book and end this chapter once and for all. We will use the spirit of the people of Alpha Centauri, no other people than the people of Alpha Centauri could overcome this disaster better. We will fight the Progenitors in every means necessary - we will fight them in the factories, we will fight them in the shipyards, we will fight them in the deep mines of Hesperus, we will fight them in the fields and lastly, we will fight them on Hod. I personally have created a Task Group Centauri, consisting of our very own 22nd Morita Regiment on Hesperus and the remnants of the 54th Hod Regiment. We will embark, we will travel to Hod, we will strike back and we will win.“ The governor removed a dossier from below the stand and showed it to the public. The dossier was clearly marked in a red font with "UAR-01" - Federal reporters confirmed at this point that the file was indeed the original file from May 14th 2100 - He ignited the dossier, threw it onto the stairs and let it burn down. Would you like to know more?

u can just put these on the wiki fyi

Access restriction lifted

As for actual fail rates: Mully decided on the three formulas - if the mission runner insists that the gel wears off faster and deviates from these times due to some external effects, my hands are as good as tied.

At this point, it's only sealing gel, ie. realistically, it only serves to speed up medical roleplay in the field. It's biological/more advanced bandages. Should the mission runner be unaware of this gel, tell them that it seals the skin and a) stops bleedings (external) and b) seals the wound so that planetary conditions (or other external effects) are nullified

MeTro Medical Sealant Substance Dr. Starr Axby Lieutenant Military Intelligence Federal Forward Research Labs IC A gel-like substance that is based on methacryloyl-substituted tropoelastin (MeTro for short), a hybrid elastic protein, and can be squirted onto internal and external wounds to seal them up and encourage healing. The elastic proteins that make this substance possible are found within the Antaak System, specifically on the planets Komorra and Eden. It is pulled from the sinew of the Prosopis velutina trees that populate the planets' dry desert climate. The MeTro formulation is that, within sixty seconds after it comes in contact with tissue surfaces, it solidifies into a gel-like phase. It will fill gaps and conform to the shape of the wounds it is used to treat. There are three forumlas for MeTro, all come in syringe form, a sixty minute formula that will dissolve in sixty minutes, a ninety minute formula and a hundred-twenty minute formula that will dissolve in a hundred-twenty minutes. It degrades without leaving any kind of toxic leftovers in the body. It can be further stabilised it by curing it on-site with a short light-mediated crosslinking treatment. Steri-strips work well for this. This allows the sealant to be very accurately placed and to tightly bond and interlock with structures on the tissue surface, keeping wounds near closed, leaving smaller scars on the affected trooper. The further stabilisation may not be pertinent for internal wounds. It can be used to seal external lacerations, bullet wounds, internal punctures and internal lacerations. However, the material will degrade after it's given time and the wound will reopen. Depending on the formula used, reapplication in the field will be necessary in some instances. OOC MeTro is only a temporary means of sealing wounds. Wounds sealed with MeTro will have to be fully treated ship-side by medical staff. MeTro is now unlocked for the medical faction to use in roleplay.

i was hoping it'd be skinnies tbh cuz you can do all kinds of cool stuff with them

Hello my LOA ends on September 13th so I was considering to attempt to run a little campaign or a questline then. It's most likely to be a questline as I end up with more flexibility when it comes to timeslots with that. I was going to use the time until then for a little creative brainstorming (amongst other things) but couldn't quite decide on a enemy/theme myself, so I'll just gauge community interest in different settings. Obviously there's the much neglected main enemy of the Federation, the Arachnid empire, with all its potential for new castes and little quirks you don't see in the average mission There's the Skinnie Hegemony which is split into many many tribal clans which like to abduct and enslave people with their psychic influence And lastly, there's the possibility of a seperatist faction which would probably resort to guerilla warfare as opposed to spamming 4 tanks into your face These can usually be mix-matched very well and all combinations are possible. Another option would be a story-driven questline, where we go on a journey to find precursor/progenitor technology You're free to pitch your ideas, concerns or other requests/wishes. I can already promise you though that I won't run your concept 1:1, but I'll take little parts from it that I like.

Intelligence leak on Hesperus! On the wednessday night this week, government officials have proclaimed that crucial information on the Progenitors in our very same Alpha Centauri System has been leaked. Said information is supposed to include defence strategies and invasion plans for our neighbouring planet, Hod. The leak is said to have happened in a spectacular, movie like setting, in the latin district of Hesperus City during the night of "Octavo Augusto". Government official B. Tlair has claimed to have been seduced by a female stranger in a bar. After allegedly taking this femme fatale home, government official Bony T. has noticed that the suitcase on his desk with the vital information has disappeared. It is unknown that the woman plans on doing with this information, but it is estimated to be worth a lot on the blackmarket. The eight of august marks the launch date of the first battlecruiser built on Hesperus and has since then been celebrated as the day of the hard workers. It appears that not everyone should take a day off on this day to keep productivity on Hesperus up. The Governor of Alpha Centauri has suspended the responsible government official until further notice. DEPICTION MAY VARY FROM REALITY
