GALACTIC HOUR NEWS ROUNDUP: NEW STARGATES OPEN AS EMPIRES FOCUS ON SECURITY AND REBUILDING

The Scope's Galactic Hour with Ret Gloriaxx brings your roundup of the latest news from around the cluster as new routes between the stars open across New Eden, and the core empires continue to focus on security and rebuilding.

Newly Constructed Stargates Come Online and Open for Traffic Across New Eden Empires

Yulai, Genesis – New stargate routes were opened by each of the core empires yesterday, following final assembly work facilitated by the operations of each empire's logistics service and capsuleers participating in resource gathering operations. The activation of the new routes took place simultaneously as agreed under the Stargates Enabling Treaty (SCC Oversight, Navigation & Funding) YC123 signed by the CONCORD powers.

The newly established routes link the following systems:

• Saminer (Tash-Murkon) to F7-ICZ (Stain), constructed and operated by the Amarr Empire
• Hykkota (The Forge) to Ahbazon (Genesis), constructed and operated by the Caldari State
• Kenninck (Placid) to Eggheron (Solitude), constructed and operated by the Gallente Federation
• Irgrus (Metropolis) to Pakhshi (Genesis), constructed and operated by the Minmatar Republic

Activation of the new gates was achieved without major incident, although localized space-time topology effects inhibited the use of microwarpdrive engines for some hours following the establishment of the gate links. Some have speculated that the simultaneous activation of four gate pairs combined with the disruption to New Eden's background space-time topology caused by Triglavian stellar manipulation could have caused such unforeseen effects. Gate crews reported normal operations of the gates themselves and so far there have been no reports of abnormal Triglavian activity in the gate systems.
