Recovery Licences
As the number of independent salvage operators increase, licenced Search and Rescue teams are pushing a bill to require licence to purchase recovery equipment. Independent operators argue that shortage of recovery teams leads to artificially inflated prices and competition will drive prices to more reasonable levels. Enceladus Corp has not issued any statements in this dispute.
Docking ring accidents
Investigation of reports of faulty docking arms in Enceladus Docking Ring revealed several incidents where docking arms failed, releasing the ship into drift without crew onboard. Station-wide maintenance will be performed next week. Until then it’s advised to not leave your ship unattended.
Artificial News Anchor
Due to legal concerns raised we are required to announce that all Enceladus News Network avatars, including the Daily Artificial News Anchor, are digital constructs created by Artificial Intelligence, and as such constitute works of fiction. Any resemblance to real humans, living or dead, is purely coincidental.
