I'm commander Gan, and I'm a pirate. I nick stuff all the time- whats the beef?
Galnet : Ship stolen from shipyard
- Thread starter Factabulous
- Start date
‘an area of space, not black but radiant…glowing like heaven,’
Seems like a nebula to me. But most nebulae have brown, blue or red hazes. The best picks would be:
Door to Heaven nebula - mostly by name reference.
Orion Nebula - the brightest and most clear in colors, supposedly. Have to check it out in-game
Lagoon Nebula - another bright one.
The rest are just dark and gloomy clouds.

Since it's very hard to know where the thief was aiming for, it's almost pointless to try.
But with a goal, one could buy a stock DBX, plot the route, record each waypoint, and stop in each system, looking for his troubled ship. Certainly the guy will have crashed or dropped anywhere, with an emergency beacon.

Please, Great Lords of Galnet, let this go somewhere
Ship Thief’s Personal Log Discovered
17 MAY 3305
A journal maintained by Gan Romero, the technician responsible for stealing a docked vessel from a starport hangar, has been discovered.
Security Chief Misaki Sanders gave this statement from Fort Dixon:
“We have thoroughly investigated Romero’s background to establish a motive for the theft and how it was accomplished. Our only lead is a series of encrypted voice logs that he deleted shortly before the hijack.”
“Our analysts have recovered a few fragments of these recordings, which appear to have been part of a dream journal. In them, Romero makes repeated mention of seeing ‘an area of space, not black but radiant…glowing like heaven,’ and being called by ‘voices that didn’t come from anything with a body’.”
“Medical experts have proposed that Romero’s recordings, along with his recent distracted behaviour, may be symptoms of an undiagnosed dissociative disorder. If true, Romero was likely acting upon dream delusions when he stole the ship. At present, our investigation has not yielded anything more substantial.”

Guess my hope is that this leads to some puzzle based chase narrative for Interstellar Initiative #2, maybe to find a new type of NSP with new content? I guess we'll see.
It seems like it is the same entity giving Jaques and Halsey the dreams
The same dreams, that according to the Codex, led Halsey to see the old Guardian worlds.
Got to be Guardian related
If not an II then keep an eye on the Codex for the Rumoured locations
Ah, good old newsletter - leaking the Galnets as usual:
"Ship Thief Linked to Halsey’s Visions
Commentators have linked ship thief Gan Romero’s dream journal with the statements given by Jasmina Halsey following the disappearance of Starship One. The Rewired network claimed these ‘bodiless voices’ had disregarded the relative standing of these two individuals, and questioned how many others had experienced similar calls."
Hmm, as predicted - connected to Halsey's visions of the Guardians... though I thought it was explicit in the codex, but last time I looked I didn't see it explicitly mentioned (and it does clash with the actual way the Guardians were found...)
Edit: "...similar calls"
So the dreams are calls .... from aliens ... ?

Calls from Guardians who were uploaded by the more benign military AIs to the Network through their implants to save them from destruction. Couldn't counter the extermination order by the domestic AIs but if they upload them, they longer qualified as targets and could be preserved as such as a species. Maybe that prompted an AI civil war and that's why there are only bits and pieces left with some remnant "virtual ghost" floating about. Integration Guardian technology or simply access of the Network by some explorer allowed them to wander around human communications, albeit in a more primitive, haphazard fashion.
Your call was disconnected Mr Gaur Dian, would you like me to try again?
Ah, found the codex entry - not under Halsey, under Guardians:
My Head Canon is Halsey spoke often of her visions, and a group of her followers turned them into a Dreamware experience to spread the message.
After using that dreamware program Cmdr X-Death went looking and found the first guardian ruins.
Glowing like the Galactic Core?
That crossed my mind.
Not that unusual, they did it with the personnal computer thing in 2018 and it led to a CG to choose between one of them but it died after that. We still have no space leg to use them
Its clear. We still have to find something we were supposed to find first. As usually no plan survives. There were some clues like Jasmina and this thief guy. There is something near galactic center, colonia direction, its full of stars... Frontier supposed that all the ppl will go towards Sagitarius and will find something. But nobody discovered it yet.
Whos responsibility it was to put such asset into game and forgot to do that is yet to be found.

Well, it's only like what?.... 50 Billion Systems there? lol
I mean - if anything was supposed to be a clue, you'd find at least some breadcrumbs in Vega. Something. Anything.
Alas.... there aren't any. Nothing. GALnet business as usual.
And with absolutely no clues or breadcrumbs where to take it from there... we're talking literally all ~400 Billion Systems that qualify.
If anyone at FDev wanted us to find anything... they made very sure noone will ever find it.
No clues, no discovery. Easy as that in a 80000LY x 80000LY x 6000LY playground.
And that means : (intentional or unintentional) it's most likely nothing. Fake news. Fluff. Background noise.
PS.
One should remember though : FDev throughout Horizons assumed it would be perfectly normal and totally practical to ask Players to visually search the surfaces of Planets or Moons of entire Systems lol
It's not entirely out of the question with that background.
But basically : we'd have to find out first if it's the usual GALnet cosmic noise or something Players should invest time into.
Without that key info, one would be crazy to chase ghosts across the entire Galaxy.
I'm roughly headed into the general area but sure as hell won't search for "mystery fluff text that lacks any usable details". No thanks, done that in the past, brings back bad memories.
Don't forget, they encouraged us to search planets using mark 1 eyeball for MONTHS without there being anything to find.
For it to be properly done, one should get some clues if visiting Vega and be allied with controlling faction.
Maybe a sudden in-flight mission to locate something related?
Anyway, for me, the vision sounds like a nebula, but of the kind, "white haze", only Orion Nebula, Lagoon, or the doors of Heaven apply. I checked the map, but it doesn't seem to be any system relevant there. No guardian's presence reported. As it is, one must search it blindly. A needle in a haystack.

The other is how did Gan defeat the security on the ship?
Only something that could defeat encrypted security could do that.....is it the Constructs?

Galnet articles aside from game update galnet articles or interstellar Initiatives galent articles have practically no place in the game as whatever the article is about. Nothing happens
Remember the nuclear threat at Archumbault terminal or whatever it was called?? Nothing happened...
Personally think fdev should do little side quests so to speak in regards to these articles. For example, federation presidents narwhal liner ship got attacked ages ago. I wanted to go see the wreck!!

Better check the Docking computer and SC assist software for Guardian AI backdoors... I don't even trust my COVAS any more.
