FEDERATION MONITORS PRO-XENO ACTIVITY - 12 September
The Thargoids are back and some people are waaaay too happy about it. People are flocking to the Far God Cult and asking if we can give the big genocidal space bugs a chance at peace. I for one welcome our insect overlords and their giant cannons of death.

THARGOIDS TURN ATTENTION TO INHABITED SYSTEMS - 12 September
Oh. Looks like the Thargoids are just a tad annoyed by our totally innocent plan to anhilate their entire species. Seems a bit like an overreaction. Anyway, they're swarming into inhabited systems and causing some carnage. Grab your best gun and ready the pesticide. It's time to go bug hunting!

PATREUS HIGHLIGHTS THARGOID TACTICS - 13 September
Imperial Fleet Admiral shocked to learn that alien species that has mastered intergalactic travel is a bit smart. Turns out they happily let Salvation build his doomsday device because it was just that much funnier to watch him wipe himself out.

XENO-PEACE ACTIVISTS: ‘WE ARE THE INVADERS’ - 14 September
"Stop punching the nest" is the tl,dr this week. Some believe that if we stopped actively trying to really annoy the Thargoids they might be more inclined to leave us alone.

'THARGOID ROAR' LEAKED TO PUBLIC - 15 September
Do you hear the screaming Clarice? Despite superpowers attempts to silence the news, the public now knows about that all so horrifying noise making its way across the stars. Still, no one's going to panic...right?

THE JUDGMENT OF ADMIRAL TANNER - 16 September
Yes, OK, you were right in that the weapon was likely to provoke the Thargoids but we're annoyed and need someone to tell off, so dishonourable discharge to you Admiral Tanner and good day. I SAID GOOD DAY!

Join us next week when we're absolutely sure nothing will be on fire.

I really like how GalNet is very clearly an in-universe source with all its own motivations, and then the biases of the characters it reports on. So honestly I don't know how to feel about a post that just...spells them out.

It's not a bad thing, it's just... even with the recent articles that were already pretty straightforward, and now this post confirming that yeah, these are plot points, you're not crazy, I AM STILL GOING TO BE CALLED CRAZY FOR SUGGESTING THAT MAYBE WE SHOULDN'T BE INVADING THE TERRITORY OF THESE ANCIENT SPACE BUGS THAT WE HAVE NO REAL DEFENCES AGAINST AND COULD WIPE US OUT IF THEY WANTED TO BUT THEY AREN'T, THEY SHOW RESTRAINT SO MAYBE WE COULD JUST CALM DOWN FOR A SECOND-

so yeah, cool post, I like it

Oh well done, again with Azimuth keeping a project involving millions of people in universe simultaneously only involving like four.

So it's either magic you need to be psychic for or they don't have any sense of scale.

Yes, you are crazy for suggesting that we should refrain from expanding human territory. The bugs may have been around earlier, but they are inferior. We just need Ram Tah to give us an actual Guardian superweapon to mount on our capital ships so that we can drive the flower bug vermins back to the Col 70 Sector where they belong.
