When Omega-58 was sealed away by the collapse of its star, many assumed the Wild there had been exterminated. When the Jump Holes recently phase aligned again, these assumptions proved to be woefully unfounded. The survivors had sheltered aboard Kaarst Shipyard, which provided a miraculous safe-haven from the cataclysm. Many of the Nomads entered low-energy hibernation states to avoid withering away, however a select few remained awake, maintaining a vigil over the station and system.
Over almost a decade and a half, Kaarst was forced to cannibalize much of its machinery and ships to develop the pulsar harvesting arrays needed to sustain themselves. This done, the wakeful sentinels occupied themselves with foul experiments - tinkering with the forms of the remaining human hosts, or finding novel ways to blend Nomad and human technologies. Many of these experiments were dead ends, resulting in nothing more than needless suffering and malformed abominations. Some however, bore twisted fruit.
Kaarst’s Infiltrators now aim to return this Wild Experimental Research to Altair, while picking up Hybridized Equipment to restore Kaarst’s productive capacity. Local factions have already noticed the uptick in Wild activity. The Order sees this cargo as a dire threat that needs to be annihilated, while the Core see enormous potential for commercial exploitation. Regardless, Wild raiders have already begun to pour from Omega-58 as ships are reactivated -- these latest plans coming to completion would dump gasoline on an already smoldering flame.
DETAILS
Convoy Details:
The Wild convoy will consist of a reinforced bustard, four reinforced frigates, and various supporting forces
The convoy will depart from Altair, and proceed through Zeta, Delta, Theta, and Thuringia to get to its final destination at Kaarst
The convoy will stop along the way at the Nomad Lair in Zeta, Lichtenfelde Complex in Delta, and Battlecruiser Trier in Theta
Bounties:
Event IDs will earn a 500k SC bonus for each kill of the opposing "team" (SRP ids with clear allegiance are included!)
Each Wild event frigate kill is worth 3 mil SC, evenly shared among all characters displayed in the kill message
The Wild event bustard kill is worth 12 mil SC, evenly shared among all characters displayed in the kill message
Rule Changes:
Infinite respawns are allowed for all players in event systems
Alien capital ships of any class above Cruisers can only be flown by K'Hara or Wilde -tagged players for the event
Repair ships are not allowed near the convoy
Event Restarts:
Auxo: eventAuxesia, starting on Freeport 11
BHG: eventBHG, starting on Freeport 11
Order: eventOrder, starting on Cairo Station
Wild: eventWild, starting on Altair Research Complex
Possible Outcomes:
The alien bustard and frigates will be placed near Kaarst as undockable NPCs if they successfully reach it
Destroyed event ships will be converted into wrecks near the place of their destruction
The amount of ships reaching Kaarst and the overall scores will partly determine Wild strength in Omega-58
If all alien event ships are destroyed, the human faction (indie + OF ID) with the most alien kills in this convoy event only will get two undockable gunboat solars in an appropriate location relative to the event's story. The exact location will depend on the winning faction.
If all alien event ships are destroyed there will be minor story changes that will reflect on the Wild's defeat.

Additional info, since Barrier is currently away. Two voice channels on the main Discovery discord have been created, one for the aliens and one for the humans.. The Wild staff ships along with the alien forces will be there, spectators are welcome to join.
New rewards:

Just to be clear, humans did achieve their kill objective when accounting for missing points from day 1, so unlimited restarts are enabled for everyone at the event.
