[Highlighted Changes]

[Neuroforge]

• Added the Turboforge feature to Neuroforging.
  • Using the Turboforge feature, you can spend Bindomite during the process of Neuroforging to add xtraForge levels to every available Neuroforge roll option before you choose an option.
  • There is a maximum amount of additional forges you can add, costing different amounts of Bindomite depending on the quality of the item.
  • For example, if you were attempting to Neuroforge an Exotic item which would normally only allow 1 choice, using 10 Bindomite up to a maximum of 4 times will allow you to Neuroforge a total of 5 times with only a single item consumed, greatly increasing the mileage of a single item copy!
  • Exalted and Legendary items retain their base 2 Neuroforge attempts.
  • Turboforges are only available for 48 hours after a Neuroforge is performed. If you save your Neuroforge roll and want to Turboforge it, make sure to do so before the timer expires.
• Sterwyn Aervin now has a chance to directly drop a Legendary Bindobooster!
  • Legendary Bindoboosters can be used on any item that can be neuroforged in place of an item copy.
  • Legendary Bindoboosters decay on universe reset.
  • Legendary bindoboosters will only be available from the current hardest boss. When a new boss comes out, the Bindobooster drop may move to it if it is more difficult than the previous hardest boss.

  • The lower difficulty spawners will receive -50% Shield Max and Damage and -34% Knockback. They will remain limited to a spawncap of 4 per room and have been reduced from level 850 to 750.
  • The higher difficulty spawners will receive -34% Shield Max and Damage.
• Micron changes with new universe:
  • Micron race track separated into multiple gals to make it easier and clearer to go through.
  • Race track no longer allows bots or warp beacons to be deployed.

• Barbe Rouge is now a rift boss, with the rift wormhole starting with the second of three gals in Tortuga.
• Tortuga’s wormhole to Barbe Rouge’s Antechamber has been moved to the east and is now guarded by two Stalker ambushers who must be killed to unlock the wormhole forward.
• Removed two of the six Stalkers from Barbe Rouge’s Antechamber, these were aura-only without weapons and didn’t fit in with the more modern wormhole unlock system of killing AI to unlock.

• Updated wormhole sizes throughout the Serengeti to match normal sizes.

• Lord Mulligan in both Earthforce Space and Perilous Space will now:
  • No longer attack other AI, nor any of its spawns will either. They will now especially hate the player that killed the original Zebucart.
  • Better disguise themselves as normal Zebucart traders. The biggest change is their ‘Martyr’ Zebucart that spawns them and can now use the Zebucart Mark 2 skin.
  • The Zebucart ‘martyr’ that spawns Lord Mulligan has been set to be immune to Radiation Damage to prevent Lord Mulligan from failing to spawn upon the ‘martyr’s’ death.
  • Always spawn up to 10 Zebu Scouts instead of a maximum of 1 under certain conditions.
  • No longer spam the Advanced Blockade and Swifty-Spry Onslaught superitems throughout the fight, instead only using them during its intended phases.

• Two of the Angry Seraph AI in Penance of Absolution have been converted into Amnesty AI, which are upgraded Absolution AI used as guards for Cardinal Bellarmine.
• The wormhole to Judgement from Penance now requires killing at least three guards to progress, from its original requirement of a Gabriel’s Neurolich commodity as a key.
• The wormhole to Penance from Absolution now spawns two Angry Seraph AI as ambushers to kill to progress, from its original requirement of a Solar Cleansings commodity as a key.
• The Subspace Anomalies in LACS S1018 and LACS S1138 can no longer be clipped through, ships will now travel over them properly.
• Anatolia now additionally stuns any ships that leave the center, at the same range as the Shield Charge debuff and environmental damage effects.

[Content Changes]

[Earthforce Space]

• Fixed Goblin Controller mission item dropping from Doc Goblin in Protoplasmica, which would get immediately deleted as it isn’t intended to drop and is not used for anything.
• Halved the distances, spawn trigger radii, aura ranges, and visual effect sizes of most things inside of the Serengeti’s miniboss rooms.
• The Great Rift star in Great Rift Valley before the Lion boss room will no longer inflict -10%/-25%/-50% speed to all nearby ships. This also means the Lions will no longer be slowed by it either.
• Reduced Micron race count to train Engines to 20 from five races to one. A new repeatable practice race has been added for the ability to improve one’s best time at Micron.
• Micron no longer requires a key to access the blue race track.
• Standardized Serengeti Giant Space Alien ambush spawners throughout the rifts for a respawn time of 60 seconds and updating a few of the rooms to move away from the old-style ‘one per direction’ ambush spawners and instead a single omni-directional ambush spawner.
• Removed unpolished dust cloud visual effect from middle of Zebra boss Prince Ar’hath Rhak’kai’s arena when on Very High graphics settings.
• Doubled the size of the lightning effects in Panther boss Princess Takhagha Rhak’kai’s arena.
• Fixed broken name on one of the Active Volcano AI in Corrupted Guardian’s arena Crater Highland.
• Made the debuff auras in Rhino boss High Vizir Rakhnis Grahad’rhi’s arena visible as purple nebulae. Increased their Shield Recharge and Energy Recharge debuffs from -50 to -500 to make them more impactful with modern player stats and decreased the range of all but the central nebula slightly so their ranges can be consistent with one another for their visual size.
• Asteroid drops throughout the Serengeti have been removed save for anything specially designed for fights.
• Zebra Prince boss arena asteroids with the tweak drop now have a yellow tone and emit particles to mark them out as special.
• Asteroids in the Panther miniboss room have been centered from their north-west spawning area.

[Perilous Space]

• Unstable Hephaestus Drones have been standardized from 2 minutes to 3 minutes for lifespan.

[Kalthi Depths]

• Fixed all wild Kalthi not spawned by Kalthi (Armored/Wrathful) Commanders not giving experience when killed.
• Asteroid drops throughout the Twisted zone have been removed save for anything specially designed for fights.
• Optimized Twisted asteroids to have 1/8th as many particles as they previously had, which will also prevent them from occasionally ‘running out’ of particle budget and losing their trails intermittently.
• Twisted Nikola drones have been standardized from 30 minutes to 3 minutes for lifespan.
• Twisted Nikola now has a new set of four “Scavenged” drones that can be obtained instead of his drones from the arena’s asteroids, being identical to the original Twisted drones but having 1/4th the energy cost and as before being unscoopable and decaying upon jumping out. This change will also allow the drones to better remain in-line over time as the original nikola drones were very different from the player-obtainable versions.
• Twisted Nikola’s new “Scavenged” drones can drop 1-3 per asteroid instead of only 1, and each of the four drone asteroids has 7.5x greater chance to spawn than before.
• Twisted Nikola’s new “Scavenged” drone asteroids have lightning effects around them and a trail of smoke to better help them stand out as something of interest.
• Twisted Nikola drone asteroids now have appropriate sizes for their drone visuals/drops.

[Subspace Dimension]

• The Bila Akara Subspace rift for Engine 22 boss Adhara Akara has had its environmental damage effects restored for the two miniboss rooms. The first wormhole you enter through will now properly give heat resistance as well, protecting you if the rift has been open for more than a few moments and the mobile wormholes inside have already flown off.
• Zarkara Adhara (Equipment 22) will now directly drop the Hantr Psu, Raurava Bhava, and Zarkara Sattva augmenters currently at a 33.3% chance for one augmenter to be picked to drop.
  • The minibosses will no longer drop the augmenters. To compensate for the augmenter removal, Hantr and Raurava have been given overall shield and damage buffs to increase their difficulty and better match Zarkara.
  • This removes the incentive to use surgical damage or train the piracy skill to increase your odds for these boss drops, which optimally would have been slightly less than the new chances, as well as removing the need to lock players out for killing the minibosses. The Zarkara Sattva augmenter was also broken and not dropping for a long time now, this fixes it as well.
  • Removed Radar boss’s missile launchers from dropping from the Equipment boss, replaced with the augmenters.
• The following missions in Subspace have had level or difficulty changes (the missions will be offered at more appropriate levels now, difficulty is the max level you can be before you receive reduced experience rewards):
  • Lyceum mission chain had its max level of 9999 removed.
  • Report to the Allied Front has had its minimum level boosted from 500 to 1500.
  • Equipment 22 for the boss kill was mistakenly set to difficulty 1000 instead of 2000, fixed to give the same amount of experience as the rest.
  • Bhinna Avapata mission chain with the UrQa changed from minimum level 1000 and difficulty 1500 to 1500 and 2000 respectively.
  • The Allied Offensive changed from minimum level 500 and difficulty 2000 to 1500 and 3000 respectively.
  • Pajca Allied Defense Orders changed from minimum level 1000 and difficulty 1500 to 1500 and 2000 respectively.
• Subspace DNA Extraction Beams have been increased from extracting 4 DNA per alien to 5. This brings the required number of AI to extract DNA from to build a fully grown Aveksaka ship from 13 Sahvitra eggs, 7 nascent forms, and 7 adult forms down to 10 Sahvitra eggs, 5 nascent forms, and 5 adult forms.
• Subspace DNA Extraction Beams no longer automatically shut off until all five DNA has been extracted from a valid target, at which point it will immediately deactivate and inform the user that the target has had all DNA successfully extracted.
• Subspace DNA Extraction Beams will now immediately deactivate and warn the user if any validity checks fail, and in a specific order to be more helpful:
  • If the target is valid for tractoring but is not a ship: “DNA extraction beams can only be used on alien ships.”
  • If the target is a valid alien ship but is player-owned: “You can only use this DNA extraction beam on non-player-owned ships.”
  • If the target is otherwise an invalid ship: “Invalid hull type for DNA extraction, valid aliens can be found in the Pajca and Sas regions of the Subspace Dimension.”
  • If the target has no DNA remaining: “This alien has already had its DNA extracted.”
  • If the user has no free hull space: “Insufficient hull space to extract DNA from this alien.”
• Janayitriadhara (Tractoring 22) will now despawn all bombs when vulnerable at the end of the fight, and cannot be killed until they’ve been despawned. This should prevent any remaining cases of bombs killing the boss and denying players the kill credit (meaning no loot dropped).
• Fixed Janayitriadhara’s (Tractoring 22) damage and rate of fire being low, increased the shields on the Paxian Bombs to compensate.
• Reduced Janayitriadhara’s (Tractoring 22) shielding by 2/3rds, making the fight significantly faster.
• Removed startup from the music in Janayitriadhara (Tractoring 22) arena, as there’s no miniboss rooms to go through prior.
• Halaraksa Chid Adiz Mardana Var drones from DD22 Subspace boss have been standardized from 25 minutes to 3 minutes for lifespan.

[Red Outpost]

• Sterwyn Aervin’s Legendary item drops now have individual chances to drop, meaning it is possible for more than one to drop and players have more chances to obtain an item.
• Red Rogue Reavers and Carmine have had a visual added to their barrage attack to help players better see the incoming attack under chaotic conditions.

[Misc. Content Changes]

  • -75% Shield Bank to +75% Vulnerability to All for Astro-Grinch.
• The following AI-only debuff effects have been converted from negative Energy Bank to positive Electric Tempering (with magnitude multiplied by four):
  • -50% Energy Bank to +125% Electric Tempering for Doktor Kobaldstein and Dark Kobaldstein.
  • -75% Energy Bank to +187.5% Electric Tempering for Astro-Grinch.
  • -90% Energy Bank to +225% Electric Tempering for Copper Blob and Zeus’ final phase warhead effect.
• Mad Expander Blueprint is now tech 18 to match its product.
• The DogeAge ship has a new shiba-themed effect to replace its old electrified center effect carried over from the Ampage and Voltage ships its visual is based on. The original doge photo is unavailable for use due to copyright, so a new CC0 1.0 licensed Shiba Inu’s face is being used sourced from https://pixabay.com/photos/shiba-meadow-serious-sad-garden-2937639/
• Added a new DogeAge Meme Drive engine to the DogeAge ship, complete with new particles and in-flight meme text straight from the good old days. Stats are based on the Nyan Power engine from the Nyan’s Reaver.
• Many holoprojectors have been updated to be exotic or higher quality if permanent.
• Added three new holoprojectors, recolored from Anniversary Server reward versions:
  • Aurora Hacker Holoprojector, from Matriarch Aurora
  • Empyreal Pillar Holoprojector, from Grand Empyreal Eclipse
  • UrQa Flurry Holoprojector, from UrQa’qa Vazuk Vo’kii (Bana King)
• The following bosses had a fix recently applied to prevent them from spamming their initial and reset shouts repeatedly, which consequently broke their ability to reset. This fixes that, as well as applies the original fix properly:
  • Ancalagon the Black
  • Fallen Haraka
  • Fallen Kuhani
  • Haraka Station
  • Matriarch Aurora
  • UrQa’qa Vazuk Vo’kii
• The following bosses will now clear parasites from their hull upon resetting their fight:
  • Fallen Haraka
  • Fallen Kuhani
  • Haraka Station
• Callisto and Ganymede in Olympus are now the only required targets to kill to pass through Near Jupiter Orbit, the Zeus Henchmen no longer count towards blocking the wormhole forward.
• Pan-Universal Neural Plasticizer spawners (Global Exp Boosts found floating in space) will now properly randomize their spawn location after being scooped instead of spawning in the same gal every single time.
• Brute Force is once more impossible to survive a hit from. A single impact will always kill you, consider yourself warned. Seriously.

• Heavy Repair Rejigger Drone Device charge time reduced from 120s to 60s to match the lower tech Repair Rejigger Drone Device.
• Field Hospital and Repair Rejigger Drone Device superitems now have effect descriptions detailing how they work and feature a new visual effect for their auratweaks.
• Temp drones will now keep firing even when an envelopment is in the way.

• collision hits are now considered “indirect damage”

• Prismatic Conv Blueprint has been reduced from 40 size to 10.
• Reduced Space Blue Alpha Blueprint cost for Blue Aether from 5 periodic to 3. Reduced Space Blue Alpha Advanced x1 Blueprint cost for Blue Aether from 10 periodic to 5. This smooths out the cost increases for the Space Blue ships, especially the Advanced x1 which requires an Interceptor to build.
• Updated Dark Maelstrom’s Rocket(DMR) and Stygian Fist particles to be a lot brighter. DMR is now blue to match a lot of Infernal Darkness assets.

[Server / Systems Changes]

• Blueprints with only 1 manhour now complete instantly, most notably the majority of AeonLabs blueprints will be affected by this.
• Trade bot orders now include all items from tradebay you have access to in the current galaxy, instead of being limited only to commodities.
• Players can now move up to 200 speed difference from solarbodies when placing stations from the original 100 speed difference.
• All rifts are automatically set to open PvP now, allowing allied debuffs to work within them.
• When a player dies without an escape pod, their spirit will now start at 0 speed matching escape pod behavior to prevent drifting out without noticing.
• When an Epiphany is used over its maximum level limit, it will now state its maximum level in event chat instead of the level title belonging to that level. For example, it will now specify level 1,500 instead of level Meijin.
• Fixed being unable to equip itemcookbook factories (currently only the Subspace Mining Compressor is applicable) when your ship has temporary drones equipped.
• Added some small improvements to towing messages in event chat, including listing the remaining time when attempting to tow for a second time within 30 seconds and being on tow cooldown for up to 30 seconds remaining.
• Stations that are both destroyed and starving will no longer repeatedly notify of starvation in the station logs. This will allow the logs to remain a lot less cluttered with what’s effectively useless information if the station was destroyed already.
• Fixed the code behind spawn and despawn effects, previously only certain spawners had the effects functional. A lot of spawners throughout the early to midgame have been given spawn and despawn effects over the past year, this will allow them all to properly work.
• Added AP links and fixed some incorrect terminology in the warnings for stations and permanent drones being too far from solarbodies.
• Removed extra line break from Bindomite tooltip.
• Energy boost items, currently the Lucius items from The Colosseum, will no longer display massive energy vulnerabilities in their tooltips.
• Target Tracker directions will now have the first letter of each direction capitalized, with a hyphen between the two words if it’s an intercardinal direction. This should make it easier to identify at a glance.
• Correctly fixed tractor beams deactivated by the target jumping to another gal causing the energy drain removal to be done on them instead of the source of the tractor.
• Lifespan-limited trackers (currently the trackers for Angre and Gonzales dropped by them when they escape) will now correctly state their signal strength as time goes on. This begins with strong, then stable, moderate, weakening, flickering, and finally with less than 60 seconds remaining it will now say critical and inform the user they have less than a minute left to find the target.
• Lifespan-limited trackers will no longer occasionally recalibrate with ~60 seconds remaining on their lifespan.
• Added support for partial construction progress when the full workforce available may be too much for the limited periodic materials available and consequently halt construction. Full credit cost must still be present for partial construction to occur. This will notably impact blueprints with large amounts of periodic Promethium and Enriched Nuclear Material requirements.
• moderator ui now shows players logged in the past 2 hours instead of currently online. So that player can’t log off to make it more annoying to mute them

[Content Changes]

• Fixed Janayitriadhara’s (Tractoring 22) damage and rate of fire being low, increased the shields on the Paxian Bombs to compensate.
• Reduced Janayitriadhara’s (Tractoring 22) shielding by 2/3rds, making the fight significantly faster.

[Major Features]

• Introduced the Ship to Ship Trading system.
• Introduced the AeonLabs Modular Construction System.
• Drones & The Engineer class has received a major rework focused on Neurobound drones.

[Ship to Ship Trading]

• Players can now trade items and credits directly between ships in a dedicated UI.
  • This is performed by using the dock keybind while your ships are overlapping with theirs. This must be done while stopped and cannot be done in combat.
  • Items with half lives cannot be traded

[AeonLabs Modular Construction & Dilutions]

• Introduced the AeonLabs Modular Construction System.
• Added new AeonLabs station components, blueprint packs, extractors, Command & Control kits, and construction items.
• AeonLabs blueprint packs have been added to all tech 12 and above player obtainable station kits.
• Common augmenters can now be dissolved into Dilutions, displaying their outputs directly on the item. This is done by selecting then opening the context menu on any number of common augmenters while docked, then selecting the new “dissolve” option. This is cannot be reversed.
• Pre-installed blueprints for drones constructed from industrial commodities have been moved to be held within the technology tree of the AeonLabs system.
• The blueprints to build X/Y/Z gear on stations using Industrial commodities that came pre-installed on most station kits have been removed.

Special Announcements

• With the coming new universe, we are changing our approach to termites to go along with the upcoming AeonLabs system. There will no longer be a siege at the end of a termite invasion. Instead, a single “scout” termite will attack your assets repeatedly over the course of 7 days. This scout will be stronger than before, but still a lot weaker than the full sieges that you’ve been accustomed to. Be aware: the scout termite is more dangerous is higher quality galaxies.
• Another change coming with the universe reset is that owning a galaxy will now consume Dilutions at a certain rate, as well as a reduced quantity of Fusion Cells. The exact costs are visible on the Nullification Generator that installs itself onto the Command and Control Station after ownership is established. The Dilution cost of ownership is higher in high-quality galaxies. We’ll provide the exact details in a follow-up post before the universe reset occurs.
• With the new universe, there will also be a new service for sale in our store: the Industrial Plasticity Management Contract. This service temporarily increases the number of stations, permanent drones and trade bots your account can control.
  • Purchase limit of once per account per universe.
  • Grants 50 flex base slots, 50 flex trade bot slots, and 50 flex permanent drone slots to the account until the end of the current universe.
  • Flex slots can be used by any combination of characters on the account. when the player attempts to deploy a relevant asset, if this would exceed the character’s normal slot budget then the missing number of slots is debited from the flex slot pool, if available.

Universe Reset Announcement

AeonLabs is excited to announce the release of their newest Dilution product: a miniature Doomsday Device!

This new blueprint, available on all newly-deployed stations with AeonLabs blueprint packs, will offer the opportunity for anyone to control the fate of the universe using only a few Minor Augmenters! Our research and development division have been hard at work to create the ultimate product for all your pesky vermin needs. Annoying Flyswatters attacking your stations? Destroy their universe! Annoying queue to fight a dungeon boss? Destroy their universe too!

If this technology seems dangerous, then you can feel safe knowing it has been extensively tested by the Paxian Operatives already! They’ve already set up several hundred across our very own universe for testing, and have begun deploying them into every known universe to stop the threat of the Red Rogues!

AeonLabs is pleased to report to its shareholders that the startup’s value has already increased by several orders of magnitude since it debuted its revolutionary Dilution system. With their latest product, they project their value to continue skyrocketing until it hits a sudden and cataclysmic stop on April 18 when the universe is destroyed at the peak of their valuation.

Dev Notes

• Extractors other than space oats shut off, colonies will no longer make purchases to/from user stations, AI stations will no longer decay goods 7 days before end of the universe. Will be a reminder post.
• Player stations, permanent drones, and the credits on active bots will be lost.
  • Player ships will not be affected.
• If you’re docked during the reset, you will spawn into the new universe using your docked active ship.
  • Careful not to spawn into the new universe in an immobile ship!
• Wild Space will be scrambled and receive a new map shape.
• All other layers will have the systems scrambled but contain the same shape.
• After a universe reset, all of your docked ships will be in a state of limbo allowing you to dock them all at any non-player station.  You can use the /limbo chat command only once to bring all of your docked ships back into limbo to dock them elsewhere. There is no longer a time limit.
  • You can purchase additional limbos via Limboing Tow Service at Friedman station in Free Market for 5 billion credits each.

AeonLabs is excited to announce the release of their newest product: Dilution technology!

AeonLabs is a fresh new start up with a focus on extending and increasing the quality of life for all productive members of society. We are excited to share with you today a new system that we are offering through our research and development division.

Dilutions

The goal of this system is to streamline the station building and gearing experience using a new item called Dilutions. Instead of having to source materials from all over the universe when setting up a station, Dilutions allow you to do almost everything on the spot with very little wait time.

The upcoming patch contains a beta version of the Dilution system, with the full version arriving at the next universe reset. This beta version adds all the new Dilution-based construction projects to the game. At the next universe reset, many station-related items will be exclusively obtained through the streamlined Dilution system, with old acquisition paths phasing out.

Edit (2026/03/24): The older acquisition method for station items will remain in game during the universe that begins on April 18. We will reassess during that universe and eventually plan to phase out the old method.

Dilutions are a new type of commodity in Star Sonata obtained by right clicking on an augmenter in your inventory and selecting the option to “Dissolve.”

Dilutions are split into three categories as follows:

Higher tech augmenters produce more Dilutions than lower tech augmenters, and higher tech builds cost more Dilutions than lower tech builds.

All Dilution-related builds complete nearly instantly (with the exception of Permanent Drones) and cost only Dilutions to complete (with the exception of Station Kit builds and Permanent Drones).

Blueprints using this system come pre-installed in station kits and are organized into category packs, like a folder system. Upon first deploying a Station Kit you will see a “folder” for industry-related builds and a “folder” for defense-related builds. Each of these “folders” opens into subcategories and builds, as shown below.

The initial “folders” (blueprint packs) available upon deploying an Adamantium Station Kit VIII:

The AeonLabs-brand builds and “folders” (blueprint packs) that become available after doing the “AeonLabs Exotic Achilles Industry Pack” build shown above:

The Dilution system can be used to produce both pre-existing items (like Adamantium Station Kit IX) and newly introduced items (such as AeonLabs Station Extension).

Nearly all Dilution-based items are station-bound or decay upon universe reset; most Dilution builds and applications are single-use. Dilutions themselves do not decay upon universe reset. Dilutions can be bought, sold, and traded with other players and in stations.

Extraction

As you upgrade your station to higher tech and quality levels (Fortified, Laconia, Demented, etc.), you unlock more Dilution-based builds. For example, a Demented Station Kit IX has access to all extractor types while a Loaded Station Kit does not include all of the tiered extractor options (such as Adamantium or Quantumum extractors). Station kits have access to their equal level industrial extractors and below.

Here is a table showing the relationships between type of station and extractors available. Station kit types are a general reference. For example, Twisted Station Kits have the same builds available as an Adamantium Station Kit IX. All tiers include the builds from earlier tiers; a Tech 14 Fortified Station Kit VI will have Tech 14 extractor builds along with all the extractor builds available in a Loaded Station Kit IX.

The Dilution system allows industrial extractors (such as Planetary Core Metal Fusion Drill) to be instantly built. This means you can have full extraction implemented on the first day of a new universe — no more waiting! Even better, industrial extractors now automatically come with factories to convert their extraction to industrial commodities.

“Brought to you by AeonLabs — Eternity Is Possible.”

Earth scientists have triggered a temporal singularity on an off-world lab while trying to create space-time based weaponry. Initial containment of the singularity has been lost and there is now no way to stop it. This singularity is eating not just matter – but time itself!

As a result, star system after star system is being absorbed into the singularity and it is just a matter of time before the whole universe is sucked in.

The effects of the singularity will remain local until it reaches its temporal threshold, at which point existence as we know it will end.

Scientists expect the universe to then unfold into an earlier version of itself on the other side of this singularity. Representatives from at least the Urqan, Mzungu, Bule, and Kalthi regions of space have been seen forming fleets to engage outsiders in the new universe and vie for territory. The Paxians have decided to rely on technological preparation and logical understanding of the situation.

Ready yourself, for no one truly knows what to expect on the other side – both threatening entities and exciting new territory await!

Hey Sonatians,

Your infiltration of the Red Rogue is going well. After showing your worth in the Fighting Pits, Crim Sonova has deemed you fit to begin contributing to their plans to pillage the multiverse. Your first assignment is to help acquire a piece of Zaphragi research from another place and time. You’ll need to overcome some significant obstacles, and figure out how to get what you came for. If you succeed, the Red Rogue will trust you with even more dangerous missions… and maybe you can figure out what they are really after.

Proving yourself against the Outback Armada

It’s been a while, but we’re back with another contest! Anyone who posts a video of themselves attempting to complete the dungeon with a full squad within the two three weeks of its release will be entered into a drawing to receive a special skin! Any squad that fully completes the dungeon, and beats the final boss, will earn access to that same exclusive skin. Like last time, there are some guidelines to go along this that will make running this go smoothly for all involved.

Contest Guidelines

• A video must be posted of you and your squad trying to complete the Zaphragi Heist instance, after you have beaten the mini boss. You should show you and your squad mates entering the instance and fighting the enemy.

• Only one point of view is needed, though more are appreciated.

• The video recording must be from start to finish. Please start the recording before warping into the galaxy with the boss, you may end the recording anytime after you have scooped the loot.

• Please show the squad screen before warping into the galaxy with the boss. This allows us to easily verify which characters are a part of the clear.

• Roh will be contacting the poster of the video via Discord direct messages to coordinate the delivery of the reward. Please have your DMs open and be available if you are the one posting the video for your squad.

• The video must be uploaded to YouTube.

• All videos must be posted to the #media channel in the Star Sonata Discord.

• There will be a 14 21 day period, starting from when the instance is first opened. Any squad that completes the mini boss kill and submits a video within this time frame will earn the reward. Any squad that fails to fully complete the instance, but still posts a video, will be entered into a drawing for the reward.

• Each player account can only be granted the reward once. Being a part of a new squad and submitting a new video does not mean that a previously rewarded account will be given a second reward.
