*FOR IMMEDIATE SYSTEM-WIDE RELEASE* Attention, Naval forces have regrouped for a final assault on the XenoThreat outlaw pack that have been plaguing Stanton System. The Navy has officially requested for any CDF volunteers to help provide combat support in this final push to secure our system. SAIC Rowena Dulli from the Advocacy is the official attaché to the CDF and will be running the operation.

*FOR IMMEDIATE SYSTEM-WIDE RELEASE* Attention, XenoThreat forces started to ambush Naval convoy ships transporting vital supplies while en route to Jericho station at the Pyro Gateway in the Stanton System. The Navy has requested CDF forces to help recover these supplies from the wreckage and safely deliver them to Jericho. The Navy has organized a community stipend to handle the distribution of payment. This will be distributed among all CDF volunteers at assigned intervals. An indicator will appear on your HUD to measure these payouts. Please note that some of these supplies are highly volatile if not handled correctly. Use caution while transporting these materials: * Zeta-Prolanide degrades over time until breaking down completely. * AcryliPlex Composite becomes explosively unstable if damaged. * Diluthermex releases a destructive energy pulse if exposed to quantum travel. Additionally, while not as volatile, the supplies of DynaFlex lost during the attack are still urgently needed by the Navy to complete their repairs of the Javelin and should be a priority for recovery. Also, XenoThreat hostiles might still be in the area so be careful. CDF volunteers with combat experience are also urged to contribute by securing these areas from lingering XenoThreat forces. SAIC Rowena Dulli from the Advocacy is the official attaché to the CDF and will be running the operation.

*FOR IMMEDIATE SYSTEM-WIDE RELEASE* A hostile fleet of ships equipped with quantum jammers have created a blockade around [Location|address], disabled the station's defensive turrets, and stolen a large supply of Zeta-Prolanide. In response, the CDF has received authorization to activate its volunteer force. Though the overall situation is dire, the theft of the Zeta-Prolanide is our priority. Without direct action, the loss of the sector's Zeta-Prolanide stores could have a devastating effects to the wider economy of the whole system. While local security forces are investigating the incursion, they've tracked the stolen inventory to several locations. CDF volunteers are tasked with heading to these locations, recovering the stolen Zeta-Prolanide, and transferring it back to the station before the material completely degrades and is no longer viable. Just be careful, intel suggests that larger clusters of Zeta-Prolanide have a higher outlaw presence. Since time is of the essence, having a tractor beam to assist in moving the cargo is highly advised. As an added incentive, volunteers will receive regular bonus payments for their combined efforts.

*FOR IMMEDIATE SYSTEM-WIDE RELEASE* Attention, Nine Tails forces have seized control of several commercial platforms near Orison. Using an Identity Friend or Foe Inverter (IFFI), they have taken over the restricted air space surrounding the platforms and only Nine Tails affiliated ships can gain access to the area. This has severely hampered Crusader Security's initial attempts at retaking the platforms. As such, Crusader has requested that CDF forces assist in shutting down the inverter and eliminating all hostile presence. Any available CDF volunteers are encouraged to provide support. Additional Intel: * While the inverter is active and the airspace inaccessible, CDF has managed to gain control of a local shuttle system and route it to access Solanki Platform without the Nine Tails knowledge. Volunteers will need to head to the Crusader Industries Showroom on the Commercial Platform and get to the rooftop to find the shuttle that will travel to the occupied platforms. * The IFFI is believed to be located in a locked storage container on a cargo barge docked at the central Admin Center. * Access codes for the IFFI container are in the possession of the leader of the Nine Tails forces, Mendo Ren. * Past experience with Mendo Ren indicates that he is unlikely to show his face and risk capture. However, if all his lieutenants are neutralized, we believe he will have no choice but to take command of the forces in person and provide us the opportunity to retrieve the codes from him. * In addition to the shuttle system, Crusader Security has informed us that there are several vehicles on the platforms available for CDF to commandeer. These vehicles will be the only way of reaching the Admin Center. NOTE - If all of the vehicles within the restricted air space are destroyed before the inverter can be shut down, then there will be no way of reaching the cargo barge and the CDF will be forced to retreat. * The platforms are protected by Nine Tails controlled Anti-Air weapons. Please be aware that SAIC Rowena Dulli from the Advocacy is the official attaché to the CDF and will be running the operation.

Hello Citizens and Civilians, The United Empire of Earth is proud to acknowledge the start of this year's Invictus ceremony. Originally started in 2542, the United Planets of Earth dispatched Naval ships to each of the settled planets to pick up the latest group of volunteers entering military service. Now, over four hundred years later, Invictus continues this proud tradition of celebrating those among us who are standing up for others and protecting the Empire as well as showcasing the latest additions to the Naval fleet. This year's festivities can be found on ArcCorp in Stanton and feature a great hall with some of the newest ships on display as well as the new Idris Experience Tour where you can tour an active-duty Idris, accessible at the top of the IO-North tower. Accept this contract if you would like guidance to the festivities. As a special thank you, in partnership with the Mercenary Guild, attendees will be awarded [ScripAmount] scrip. Thank you and enjoy your Invictus.

*FOR IMMEDIATE SYSTEM-WIDE RELEASE* This is a call to arms for all available Civilian Defense Force volunteers. An RSI Polaris corvette on its way to Invictus Launch Week festivities has been hijacked by the terrorist organization the Frontier Fighters. Initial intelligence reports indicate they’re attempting to escape into the Pyro system. The Navy has officially requested for any CDF volunteers to help provide combat support immediately to neutralize this threat and prevent the Frontier Fighters from escaping with the stolen capital ship. Additionally, as a further incentive, those who assist us in this endeavor will be awarded [ScripAmount] MG Scrip along with a small token of our appreciation. SAIC Rowena Dulli from the Advocacy is the official attaché to the CDF and will be running the operation.

To test the preparedness of our response teams, we would like volunteers to simulate an assault against a CDF Idris by neutralizing and taking control of the vessel. To be clear, the goal of the exercise is not to destroy the Idris, but for you to attempt to board the craft and maintain control of it as long as possible. Volunteers should expect to meet full resistance from the Idris' highly trained crew and are encouraged to get an updated imprint beforehand. Coordinates will be provided upon confirming your participation. Thanks and good luck.

Attention all CDF volunteers, we received a distress call from Security Post Kareah. It turns out XenoThreat used the comm arrays as a distraction to lure law enforcement away so they could launch an attack on the station. We've learned that they're attempting to access their systems, so all volunteers must immediately divert to retake Kareah and clear out all XenoThreat forces. As a reminder, the military has generously donated some old F7A Hornets for CDF members who see this initiative through to the end.

We've received tips that XenoThreat's intending to launch another attack on Stanton system. The CDF has petitioned the Advocacy to create a new initiative called Operation Overdrive to stop this attack before it happens. The CDF is dispatching volunteers to infiltrate and obtain any intel that could give insight into what they're planning. Needless to say, expect heavy resistance from any XenoThreat on site. As an added incentive, the military has generously donated some old F7A Hornets for CDF members who see this initiative through to the end.

Our analysts have examined the intel seized from those XenoThreat recon teams but the data appears to be locked behind a sophisticated encryption system and requires a custom cryptokey to access. We've managed to locate several XenoThreat lieutenants operating in the system, you are to find and engage the suspects and see if they are in possession of a cryptokey that will allows us to access the intel. As a reminder, the military has generously donated some old F7A Hornets for CDF members who see this initiative through to the end.

Thank you for your diligence on this Overdrive Initiative. As promised, we've approved you for an upgrade from a civilian F7C mk ii to a military grade F7A mk ii if you have one. In addition, you've been given a temporary rental of a military F7A mk ii that you can access in your ASOP. _________________ To upgrade, visit the RSI website to apply the token, then restart the game and access the ship.

Attention CDF volunteers, XenoThreat's gone off the grid. We suspect that they have gone dark in order to prep for the final phase of their plan. History has proven that XenoThreat like to fight so it stands to reason that this might be an attack of some kind so we're calling on volunteers to deliver supplies to the Gateway station near the Stanton-Pyro jump point to shore up for a potential assault. As a reminder, the military has generously donated some old F7A Hornets for CDF members who see this initiative through to the end.

Waves of XenoThreat ships have been pushing into Stanton system and attacking random civilians. We can't tell if this is an isolated attack or a reaction to our recent initiatives, but we need them stopped. As a reminder, the military has generously donated some old F7A Hornets for CDF members who see this initiative through to the end.

One of the suspects captured during the recent attacks revealed that XenoThreat is looking to remotely access a number of comm arrays around the system. Having XenoThreat listening into comms is extremely dangerous for the people living here, so the CDF has been enlisted to reset the comm array, then defend it from any XenoThreat Vanguards that will attempt to reconnect to the servers. Once those Vanguards have been defeated, clear out any remaining hostile ships in the area. As a reminder, the military has generously donated some old F7A Hornets for CDF members who see this initiative through to the end.

The CDF has partnered with Anvil Aerospace to find the most capable operatives in the system. If you find one of these Platinum certifications, you can redeem the ticket at a ship kiosk at New Deal, Astro Armada or Crusader Showroom for a free F8C. The catch is that your identity and location has been shared with participants throughout the system. For everyone else, if you can stop the ticketholder before they get to the kiosk, you can claim the ticket for your own. Whoever makes it will not only receive this next generation superiority fighter, but also prove that they have what it takes for the toughest CDF assignments. Good luck.
