[From a CEC sponsored article in the publication]

Recent events have caused a shutdown of the USG Ishimura, a shutdown that is to be repaired. Many have been sent out but the CEC has sent another planet cracker ship not far off from the abilities of the Ishimura. It is to be known that nothing too tragic has happened and that the launching of the series of ships including the shuttle lead by Captain Zach Hammond, and the military ships like the USM Valor and Hydra are not to be taken into too much account.
