Hello everyone, xē'suelen nyahyan

Alien Week is still ongoing! Join our annual celebration of the extraordinary cultures and technologies found beyond Human space. Running through July 6, this year's festivities include the Xeno Craft Challenge, inviting creators to bring alien cultures to life through food, art, props, models, and costumes for a chance to win some incredible alien ships. You can also enter the Show Us Your Colors contest before it wraps up on June 30.

Last week, Subscribers also received the June 2026 issue of Jump Point! This month's edition takes a deep dive into the development of the Anvil Odin, explores the elegant design philosophy behind the Origin M80, and ventures into the fascinating world of Xi'an meditation, offering another look behind the scenes at the people, places, and ships shaping the 'verse.

Now, let’s take a look at what’s coming up this week:

On Tuesday, the next issue of the Squadron 42 newsletter rolls out. We'll introduce you to more members of the crew aboard the UEES Stanton and offer another glimpse into the people you'll serve alongside during the campaign. Make sure you’re subscribed by heading to your account settings.

Wednesday is packed with updates, beginning with the release of Alpha 4.8.3: The Return of Xenothreat. The notorious outlaw group has returned to Stanton with a new event featuring five concurrent ship combat contracts. From boarding an Idris to defending civilians and taking the fight directly to Xenothreat forces, you'll earn rewards and help drive the invaders back.

Also on Wednesday, we'll publish a new Roadmap Update, outlining the content currently planned throughout July and August. The June 2026 PU Monthly Report will follow, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the work teams have been tackling over the past month.
