Colliding Asteroids The Research & Development Institute (RDI) recently sent an alert regarding two asteroids expected to collide and shatter close to Calypso’s orbit. Long-range scans, including spectroscopic analysis, reveal that these asteroids are rich in minerals. Pieces of the asteroids are expected to scatter across space and on planet Calypso. The collision is predicted to occur on September 26th, with fragments expected to scatter across space and impact Calypso at UTC 13:00. RDI has estimated that colonists will be able to obtain the minerals scattered from the asteroids through mining or by hunting robots and other wildlife on Calypso, including creatures in space. Previous observations have shown that when minerals are abundant, creatures quickly consume them while robots gather them for their own use. This suggests that creatures and robots will absorb or take some valuable asteroid fragments, which can only be recovered by eliminating them. New Opportunities on the Colonial Frontier Genesis Star Interstellar (GS) is set to enter a period of growth after winning an Imperial contract over any new mining opportunities. While Omegaton Industries was initially also bidding on the contract, market experts expressed concern that Omegaton did not have the logistics and specialized equipment required to take full advantage of this opportunity, and they eventually dropped out. As part of GS’s contract with the Imperial Mining Office, the megacorp will become a significant supplier of raw materials for the Colonial Administration, reducing the Federal Empire’s need to ship in resources from other systems while retaining complete legal control over the deposits. Though still in development, GS also plans to make mining technology available for ships in the future. The agreement also requires GS to supply some colonists with equipment that allows them to participate in these opportunities in the future, which the Mining Office and Colonial Administration hope will help boost the local economy in this period of relative stability. To accomplish this, the GS corporation has commissioned the creation of ten new light Prospector ships. The New Prospectors These special Prospectors will be available only to the most dedicated and resourceful colonists. Genesis Star has provided six types of Spaceship Component blueprints you will occasionally obtain while crafting. Colonists can craft these six distinct ship parts: Spaceship Electronic Components Spaceship Engine Components Spaceship General Components Spaceship Hull Components Spaceship Low Density Structures Spaceship Life Support Components All six components are needed to craft a Spaceship Construction Package. When you have crafted Spaceship Construction Packages worth 10,000 PED, go to Twin Peaks and speak with the Event Vendor, who will wait for you to exchange them for a Prospector Redemption Token. Talk to Genesis Star Officer Jeremy to exchange your Prospector Redemption Token and receive a Ship Deed Token and 10,000 PED shrapnel. However, the Prospectors are available on a first-come, first-served basis as this is a one-time opportunity offered by Genesis Star Interstellar. Ten Ship Deed Tokens are up for claim, and only one Prospector will be given per avatar, meaning ten dedicated avatars will be the lucky owners of these new ships. Redeeming Your Prospector Once you've secured your Ship Deed Token, you hold the key to the newest ship in Entropia Universe. Genesis Star will produce and release the ships close to the end of the year. Ship Token holders can redeem their tokens via the Support system to get their Ship Deed. Genesis Star will provide more information in the future when the production of the Prospectors is almost finalized. Will you be among the lucky few to claim one of these highly sought-after vessels? The race for resources and blueprints is on; only the most skilled crafters and resource collectors will stand a chance. The stars await! Source
