Date: January 16, 3311
The war-torn system of HIP 22460 has officially been declared free of Thargoid activity, marking a monumental achievement for humanity in the ongoing struggle against this alien threat. This announcement was confirmed by Aegis, following the successful blockade organized by the Anti-Xeno Initiative (AXI) and XSF forces, with the support of allied AX pilots.
A System of Historical and Strategic Importance
HIP 22460 has long been a key point of contention between humanity and the Thargoids. Reports suggest that the Thargoids have maintained an intermittent presence in the system since at least 3303, with recovered logs from the now-abandoned Fort Asch laboratory hinting at clandestine research into alien activity.
In 3308, the system became the epicenter of a major escalation in the Second Thargoid War. The activation of the Proteus Wave weapon, a bold but disastrous attempt by Salvation to eradicate the Thargoids, triggered a massive retaliation from the alien forces. HIP 22460 was swarmed with Thargoids, who established overwhelming dominance over the area.
But after years of alien occupation, humanity’s relentless efforts—led by courageous pilots and anti-xeno forces—have finally reclaimed the system.
Coordinated Efforts to Secure Victory
Over the past few weeks, AXI, XSF, and allied AX pilots organized and executed a coordinated blockade to drive out the remaining Thargoid forces. Their success was confirmed by Aegis’ military advisor, Aden Tanner, who announced that the system is now fully under human control.
In a heartfelt statement, Tanner expressed his gratitude:
“The impeccable efforts of AXI, XSF, and allied AX pilots have finally brought peace to one more system. I only wish I was young enough to join these heroes out on the front lines. These pilots have provided a great service to humanity, and all here at Aegis salute them.”
A Triumph for Humanity
The liberation of HIP 22460 is not just a tactical victory; it is a symbolic triumph in the fight for survival against the Thargoid menace. The AX pilots who risked their lives in the battle have been heralded as heroes, and this moment will undoubtedly be remembered as a turning point in the war.
While the Thargoid presence in nearby systems remains a threat, the reclamation of HIP 22460 demonstrates the power of coordinated human resistance.
What Comes Next?
With HIP 22460 now under human control, the focus shifts to neighboring systems still under threat from the Thargoid advance. Aegis and its allies call upon all commanders to remain vigilant and continue their efforts in the fight against the alien menace.
This victory is a reminder of what humanity can achieve through unity and determination. For the pilots who gave their all to bring peace to HIP 22460, the galaxy salutes you.
