Reports coming from GalNet correspondents in the Old Worlds this week have noted a sizeable surge in illegal technology being shipped throughout the sector.

Details as to the exact nature of the tech are currently sketchy at best. Some witnesses report large shipments of alien weaponry have been passing through the docks in Lave. Others claim rogue scientists operating in Riedquat have been experimenting with biomechanical enhancements. Still others say that a band of malicious software engineers from Quator have been working on a new type of hostile AI.

Whatever the truth, Commanders travelling to the Old Worlds are advised to be on the lookout for any suspicious activity and to avoid all unknown wings when passing through the area. GalNet, 18.04.3301
