Star Conflict News

Attention all pilots! Erik Holst is on the line. We need your help. Our agent in the Federation was supposed to show up for a meeting to transfer some intel, but he’s been out of contact. His tracker was last seen in the vicinity of the destroyed laboratory. Find him…

Pilots, the “Secrets of the Precursors” event will be held in two stages. There are 40 levels in each stage. Only the owners of a special Pass will be able to unlock all levels. But the first and every fifth level will be available to all pilots.

To get a reward, you need to unlock the necessary level. In order to get access to the next reward, you need to complete all the previous levels. You can join the stage at any time when the stage is available.

The event will last for three months. During the entire period, all pilots will be able to earn a special game currency in battles — Xenochips.

• Xenochips can be obtained for completing any tasks as an additional reward.
  
• Xenochips are introduced into the game for a limited time and after the end of the event will be removed from the game and from the accounts of the pilots. We recommend that you have time to spend xenochips before the end of the event!
  
• Xenochips can be spent to receive special rewards during the event.

The prototypes of the first Salamander frigates were designed in 4623 by a group of engineers who had once left the “Outpost” shipyard and set up their own private enterprise. The “Blackwood” shipyard, known for its quality, was chosen as the production contractor.

The ship’s main feature is the use of numerous unique systems developed from scratch specifically for Salamander. The complex of this equipment seriously increases the engineering capabilities of the frigate. The outline of the ship captures the image of frigates of the past from the Federation civil war.

Like its ancestors, Salamander has excellent speed and mobility, which allows it to move quickly across the battlefield, without giving the enemy a chance to intercept it. And a special modification will seriously strengthen the resistance of the shield and the hull of the ship at maximum speed.

Currently, the UMC has signed a contract to test a large batch of Salamander-class frigates. Every interested mercenary will be able to get the new ship for themselves and try it out in battle. There are rumours that the Armada representative office is already interested in the frigate, although they haven’t officially announced it.

Special part of the ship:

• Needed for the production of the ship.
  
• Can be received in the “Secrets of the Precursors” event as a reward.
  

Control system «Kongmíng»

• Autonomous control system
  
• Control the “Kongmíng” autonomous drone. Operates in three modes:
  • Shield restoration mode. The drone follows its ship and restores the shield to the owner and all their allies.
    
  • Repair mode. The drone follows its ship and restores the hull to the owner and all their allies.
    
  • Defence mode. The drone remains stationary and deals thermal damage to enemy ships.
    

“CFER-24” nailgun

• Kinetic weapon.
  
• Upon hitting an ally, amplifies all their shield and hull restoration.
  

“Kongmíng” manual controls

• Active module.
  
• Switches control to the “Kongmíng” drone. In this mode, the ship remains stationary and increases shield and hull resistance. The drone restores hull to all allied ships, and all enemy ships lose their radar range.
  

“Event-24” Horizon Module

• CPU modifier.
  
• Increases the firing range. Reduces the damage. In the manual control mode, the “Kongmíng” can fire at enemies.
  

“Salamander” adaptive polarizer

• Shield modifier.
  
• Increases the shield and hull resistance to all types of damage, when the ship flies at its maximum speed.

Pilots, the UMC received special tasks for you from all three leading factions:

Empire

• Eric Holst requests your personal intervention in the task at hand. A secret agent of the Empire has gone missing. His trail led us to pirates and then disappeared. He must be found and brought back alive.
  

Federation

• There’s been some trouble in the Federation ranks. You’ve received a tip about an illegal arms storage facility belonging to traitors among the Federation. It must be destroyed.
  

Jericho

• The terramorphing station has been attacked by pirates. This is unusual for them, as the fragile agreement with Jericho implies a clear division of influence in the sectors. The Mendes family asks that the pirates must be put in their place.
  

Adventure tasks can be obtained in the “Open space” mode in the “Guardian-17”, “New Eden”, “Mendes-9” sectors.

[h3]Weekend special offer:[/h3]

• 30% discount on parts to the ship Brokk
  
• +50% credits in battles
  
• x3 first victory bonus
  

Externally Brokk is very similar to an imperial support cruiser, so the frigate has a very serious, aggressive and brutal look. This made it a full-fledged "imperial" dream for most pilots. It can rightly be called the most versatile engineering frigate and win in every possible category. There are going to be no obstacles for you — the special module will destroy all enemy ships in your way.

Boost your fleet! Let's win together!

Yours truly,
Star Conflict Team

The exact origin of Thor is unknown. According to rumours, the fighter was developed by the scientists of Martian laboratories before the First Invasion and was later transferred to the Inquisition. The ship’s existence was kept secret for a long time until the blueprints of Thor were received by the New Empire in 4621.

Soon the imperial pilots tested the ship in combat. AK-107 Thor squadrons carried out swift strikes against pirate bases, destroying superior marauding forces. The excellent combination of weapons, active modules and the ISES-13T onboard system makes this fighter a dangerous opponent in any battle.

Currently, with the permission of the Inquisition, the New Empire is preparing Thor for mass production. The UMC mercenaries will be able to get a weakened version of the gunship under a special contract.

— Marcus, Marcus. You almost got yourself hooked by that old goat sitting in his dark grave. — Summer’s voice is gently captivating, excitingly low, seductive. Summer’s figure is gorgeous. Her eyes are bottomless. Her words are merciless. — You almost set the demon free...

Summer stood with her back turned to me, her hands behind her back, staring out at the blackness of space. The space was looking back at her through the huge panoramic windows. I suddenly thought that this staring game might have been going on for hundreds of years.

— An ancient evil is looking for a way to return, and it almost succeeded. — she continued. — So many years have passed, but it is still alive. — She turned to me. — Do you even understand what you’re up against?

I ran my palm over the silky soft covering of the luxurious couch in Summer’s private cabin aboard her famous, sinister black dreadnought. So many legends surrounded this ship. Few people saw it with their own eyes. Even fewer happened to step inside it. I did. And now I was half-lying on the very same couch, from the time the first arks departed from Earth. Priceless, according to today’s standards. Like everything that surrounded the Lady around.

— You know that it was just a coincidence.

I smiled and took a sip from my glass. The wine from the time of the first hijra was excellent. I didn’t feel guilty. What happened was what had to happen. And she knew it, too.

— In our world, there are no simple coincidences. Everything that happens is connected in one way or another. The demon that is hidden in the “Black Abyss” is real, no matter what the eggheads say. He wants to break out of his dark prison. But you’re right. Your role in this play was not determined by you.

She went over and sat down next to him. She took her glass from the table. She turned it with her fingers, but didn’t drink from it.

— The time is coming, Marcus. — Her voice changed after she said it. All the sadness in the world was in her voice. — We can’t hold him back any longer. His power is growing and very soon he will be able to break the doors down. More precisely, we will open them for him ourselves. — She went silent. — His emanations are too great. He has been poisoning people’s minds for a long time, and now we are powerless to stop him. Immediately, all players have the keys to his doors in hand and are ready to make the final move. The time has come, Marcus.

She looked me right in the eyes. Sometimes her gaze could drink the life itself. Sometimes it granted unimaginable pleasure. And now it plunged me into the pools of despair.

— What do we need to do? — I was ready to give her everything. My strengths, my knowledge. My own life.

— We must be able to be there when the Abyss is opened and the monster is not completely ready yet. And we must strike at this moment. We have a chance, if not to destroy him, then to expel it. The moon time is approaching. There is hardly anyone who will help us with this.

— We will manage.

I took her hand. Was I lying to myself at that moment, or did I truly believe her? Who spoke the words — me or the echo of Darkness that remained in me after visiting the “Oblivion” yacht? I didn’t know. The future looked bleak to me. And I wanted to see it in her arms. I hope she wanted the same...
