Galactic News Network, This just in from the dark side, Outpost 303, a small outpost in sector 14 in the lower hemisphere has indicated that they have hit a major Teslayte Ore vein and have staked a claim with the Outer Fringe Mining Consortium offices for the find. Commander Agsukagi the security contingent commander of the outpost had this to say…

“303 is about as far away from civilization as you can get on this rock and the people here have really been through major hardships. I personally think that its outstanding that I’ve.. we’ve..well our mining teams have hit the jackpot on this find. Everyone works hard down here. It’s a cold harsh environment on the dark side, but we’re good at our jobs and we should reap the rewards. Our Mining Contract Negotiator is working out the details now; with the Consortium on the find, and it should sustain the whole outpost through many cycles. Possibly even allow us to get some new atmospheric processors that we’ve had on requisition.”

Consortium leaders have indicated this may in fact be one of the largest Teslayte Ore deposit finds that the Guild has seen to date. Teslayte was first discovered during Captain Kassandra’s first survey mission. Dr. Ulysses Fitzpatrick discovered the ore in Sector 3, in a mountainous zone near the equatorial plains between the light and dark sides. However, history records going back to Captain Kassandra’s first survey never indicated ore deposits of this magnitude. Negotiations continue for the moment with the outpost representatives, so the Guild cannot comment on specific payment numbers; however we can disclose that we are sending large excavator units to the site with our engineering teams. We expect all of the major factions will have an interest in the area and expect travel to increase due to the find.
