The Alberta Super Gate underwent an emergency shutdown due to sabotage while the Whitefield and Fairmont battlegroups were in transit. Although this shutdown procedure suceeded in saving both ends of the jump corridor from destruction, the Poole gate has sustained heavy damage. Though the fate of Liberty’s battlegroups remains unknown, Ageira scientists predict the ships were either scattered throughout deep space or ripped apart during the abrupt jump sequence interruption.

Shortly after the sabotage, a transport spoofing a Bretonian Intelligence Service IFF departed Plymouth, bound for Omega-49. When the vessel refused hails, Liberty fighters from the Concord fired upon the transport with intent to kill. Unfortunately the transport launched a multitude of escape pods, and one still remains unaccounted for. Not long ago, sensors detected a distress beacon in the depths of the Torfaen asteroid belt, with both Gallia and Allied forces scrambling fighters to bring the saboteur home - or to justice.

• An invisible POB called Distress Beacon will be spawned somewhere in Poole. This will be detectable on the scanner list.
  
• The allies and GRN will have to find this base.
  
• The first faction to locate the base informs Event Staff through /fm and we beam to confirm.
  
• A player flying an invincible Escape Pod will undock from the beacon.
  
• Tug of war phase begins. The escape pod will drop a “tag” commodity. The escape pod will follow whoever has the commodity in their hold. If the commodity is destroyed, a new one will be spawned in.
  
• Event is concluded when the pod docks on either Planet Cambridge or Battlecruiser Carillon in Dublin.
  
• For balance reasons, the Planet Cambridge-Poole trade lane will be made undockable during the event.
  
• Factions listed as unaligned may team up with Gallia or Allies.
  
• Mollys and Gaians cannot use the tag commodity to move the escape pod.
