I should add - for anyone wanting a digital memento - here's the message texts:

THE INVASION OF SOL
PILOTS' FEDERATION ALERT
Commander,
Titan Cocijo has arrived in Sol, establishing orbit above Earth. Severe damage has been inflicted on ports across the system. Initial casualties are fear to be in the hundreds of millions.
Only two rescue megaships remain operational:
- Rescue Ship Cornwallis in V886 Centauri
- Rescue Ship Hutner in Luyten's Star
All other rescue megaships have been destroyed on arrival, as Thargoid forces have assaulted their target locations. We think the Thargoids tracked our ships during hyperspace. They must have known we'd deploy them to help with the evacuations.
The Federal fleet in Sol has been overwhelmed, and reinforcements are scrambling to replace them. It is paramount that all available Commanders join the defensive AX efforts, while continuing to evacuate as many people from Sol as possible. Ships should be outfitted accordingly prior to arrival.
Titan Cocijo cannot be assaulted directly yet - first the Thargoids must be pushed out of systems around Sol which the aliens have occupied. But abducted people can be rescued from the Titan using a Pulse-Wave Xeno Scanner and Sub-Surface Extraction Missiles.
Whatever the Thargoid's plan, we must not allow Sol to fall. It is the birthplace of humanity and, regardless of how widespread our civilization has become, Earth is our homeworld. Protect it at all costs.
Good Luck,
The Pilots' Federation

EMERGENCY PERMITS - SOL AND SIRIUS
You have been issued emergency permits for the Sol and Sirius systems to enable your assistance with the ongoing Thargoid invasion crisis.

TITAN COCIJO IS VULNERABLE
PILOTS' FEDERATION ALERT
Commander,
Titan Cocijo is finally vulnerable to our attack. A general call to all available AX pilots has been made to the press the advantage in Sol and destroy Cocijo.
Equip a Thargoid Pulse Neutraliser, Caustic Sink Launchers, and a Guardian Nanite Torpedo Pylon from any rescue megaship and engage the last remaining Thargoid Titan as a matter of priority.
Pilots looking to rescue captive humans from the Titan must equip a Pulse-Wave Xeno Scanner and Sub-Surface Extraction Missiles.
Evacuations from Sol are still underway, taking refugees to Rescue Ship Hutner. Passenger cabins will be needed to safely transport these desperate people.
Rewards have been requisitioned fro any Commander who helps to liberate Sol and destroy the last remaining Thargoid Titan, bringing this invasion to an end at last. Inflicting damage to Cocijo's thermal core will automatically register you for these rewards.
It's time to reclaim Sol for humanity.
Good luck,
The Pilots' Federation

TITAN COCIJO DESTROYED
Commander,
Titan Cocijo has experienced a catastrophic structural failure. The final Thargoid mothership is no longer operational, and the Thargoids are abandoning the Sol system.
This should be considered a significant victory for humankind. This last, desperate assault by Thargoid forces on our home system is the gravest threat Earth has ever face, and we have successfully repelled it.
For now, it appears the Thargoid invasion is over. We have received no further reports indicating Thargoid threats in our populated systems, and no Titans remain to direct invasion fleets.
Take pride in our accomplishments over the past two years, Commander. The Pilots' Federation has once again proved its importance, and we have prevented what may have been a catastrophic age for human history had the Thargoids triumphed.
Rewards will be distributed to all Commanders who signed up to the defense efforts, for collection at Rescue Ship Hutner in the Luyten's Star system.
Warmest regards,
The Pilots' Federation
