A vast and deadly dark matter storm is rolling into the Alberta system. This storm was forecast well in advance, and Liberty has taken ample precautions to account for it. Corporate operations that have been gradually wound down in the system are coming to a final stop, with security patrols withdrawing and the skeleton crew aboard Leduc Station preparing to conclude the last of their critical salvage works. Proprietary Ageira Hardware is being shipped to Alaska from the increasingly threadbare station, consisting of structural station components and the last scraps of the prototype supergate's hull.

The few remaining Zoners of Freeport 14 are conversely not adhering to Liberty's recommendations to evacuate from the system. They have instead adopted an approach of battening down the hatches and riding out the storm. The fiercely independent colonists see the retreat of the House as an opportunity to live in self-sufficient isolation, free from what they see as a stifling and invasive government. To achieve this, they have begun fitting Dark Matter Shielding imported from Ames Research Station in Kepler. It is hoped that this structural reinforcement will be sturdy enough to withstand the primal forces barrelling towards the (perhaps naive) Freeport.

With the final furious burst of corporate activity in the two systems, it is perhaps unsurprising that Liberty's criminals are seizing what may be their last opportunity to profit from the situation. The Rogues and Lane Hackers have stepped up their attacks across both systems. Local Xenos have waded into the carnage as an unaffiliated wildcard that is equally liable to fire upon pirate and law enforcement alike.
