1.8.0 update! Hipoom Incoming.

GALACTIC NEWS

As the industrial Ukinkina faction grows ever stronger in the galaxy some members of the United Space Federation have taken action into their own hands. Their goal is to stop USF corruption by the Ukinkina.This comes after Ukinkina's blatant disregard for the well being of the environment and inhabitants on the planet of Zuol. These free-lance protesters are calling themselves the Hipoom.

The Reta-Leziua have been hard at work designing new parts for ships. Their most recent breakthrough has been in spin thrusters to help large ships spin around with ease. They have also made all lasers less explosive while doing the same impact so you can see your target's last moments.

The Pesomila faction, in their eternal pursuit of peace and zen in the universe, have equipped every ship and station with sound modulation units. This now helps everyone hear more pleasing sounds when doing virtually everything.

The Ukinkina outraged by the birth of the Hipoom Faction are pledging increased mining in USF Space and are rumored to be on the hunt for an external faction to help with the new threat..
