Utopia II is hoppin'! We've had a dozen shops opening locations at our new player community ring-station-around-collapsed-star like OreBlocks, Kosmart, and Oasis, & others have rented luxury suites with phenomenal storage. DM Deravi#6100 to reserve your spot!
@dualuniverse
We've gotten a rush of shop owners as well as residents wanting to take over an XS or S core for near-Aegis storage. Why build an Aegis-minimum distance space base when you can live in a growing community? Here's the Utopia II discord:

@graxxor @dualuniverse Glad to have you back, though I should say that the legendary Shockr designed and built the original Utopia (with help of course), but I've consulted the old crew and at least so far we have their blessing and a couple of them have joined us. You'll always have a place here!
She's back and she's discounted, our perfect Star Destroyer shell. Kit it for huge space-only thrust between in-system planets with atmo TIEs inside, or a hybrid hauler, or the centrepiece of a proper pvp fleet as Blackbriar did. For now only 2.8m.

We're proud to announce the completion of Utopia II, next is an artificial sun at the centre. Its a solarcratic nexus of player commerce and fun. With Kosmart and Oreblocks franchises opening soon we seek more to get involved on the ground ring. Deravi#6100.
@dualuniverse
Blackbriar Mercs are whispered about in cyberpunk alleys as black market suppliers of top-of-the-line new-meta battleships. Here they pull back the curtain to offer a line of hard PVP ships, chief among them the golden-skulled Atlas.

Now that’s Pod Racing!
Fresh from the scrapyards of Tatooine the Sebulba 1 is a new design on an old classic. Made specifically for low-skill transport, the Sebby's capable of breaking atmo with minimal (if any) piloting skills. 500k BP

Designed by Akcroma#9718 and sold from a chic dispenser location on Alioth's 4th moon, Sentinels [SNS] org offers this red-blooded workhorse fit for hauling 3kt worth of cargo out of 1g or slurping up safezone asteroid ores.

Here's a condensed version of our Haven ruins analysis. Next we scour more of Haven while Team 2 heads to Thades to collect evidence for a theory of what happened there. Then Teoma, a planet that shouldn't be. Deravi#6100 to join our Helios Starfleet science team.
@dualuniverse
A camera drone shows a near-perfectly circular area where vegetation and topsoil has been destroyed. The area should be overgrown like the surroundings, indicating perhaps a recent blast. Who lived here? What happened to them to make room for Market 14?
@dualuniverse
Major Discovery! If we are the first to populate this system how is it that org Helios Starfleet's archaeology team located the ancient ruins of a few primitive structures on Haven?
Find it on the SW edge of Market 14's hex. Has Aphelia lied to us?!
@dualuniverse@Novaquark
After scraping off a layer of detritus we found several posts are metallic. As basic minerals can be found in abundance on Haven it poses a mystery: if you have access to metals, why build partly with wood and stone? Was this an ancient settlement that was slowly modernized?
We'll update this post as the team analyzes the dig site. Largely stone but here we see some scattered wooden components. In Haven's climate wood takes roughly 200 years to decompose so this place was inhabited while we were en route.
We're recruiting! Discord mods/admin, podcast co-hosts and guests & members for two orgs: DU Creators for builders to combine resources and knowledge, and Helios Starfleet, a casually RP org offering diplomacy, science missions and patrols for pirates.
