Soon after the last major tragedy on the Monolith, associated with the monstrous Liu virus, the family leaders who had not yet left were concerned about the possibility of predicting and studying infections and mutations as well as how to deal with them. Hundreds and even thousands of attempts to try to take the virus under control did not turn out to be successful, which caused exorbitant expenses for the families remaining in the attacked sectors, especially against the background of the success of Ellydium exceeding all their efforts. Expeditions were cancelled and the families left several infected sectors that they once considered their home.
New brawl “Curse of the Leviathan”
Until recently, no one dared to approach the infected, until signatures similar to those recorded in the infamous Monolith were periodically recorded in the old catacombs of Leviathan. Having given huge sums to the Broker, the unknown managed to set up a public contract for sending volunteers allegedly from Jericho “for reconnaissance” to the signatures of the infected. What those who have hired the Broker plan to do is known only to them, but no one can say for sure what awaits the mercenaries in the gloomy catacombs…
- All players in the brawl start the battle on the same ships.
- One of the pilots selected randomly becomes “Infected”.
- He can “Infect” other pilots in combat. Such pilots move to his side and also become “Infected”.
- The task of the surviving pilots is to hold out until help arrives.
The brawl is available every day until November 16. The rest of the brawls will be disabled for this time.

New pack “Plague Doctor” and “Plague Doctor. Deluxe edition”.
It is said that it was previously one of the Sentinels’ ships. A mysterious association of artificial intelligences left after the disappearance of the Techs. The objectives of the Sentinels are unclear. According to one version, the Techs left them to keep an eye on the secrets of Jericho, which they could not take with them. According to the other, the Techs have finally merged with their machines in order not to fall under the influence of the biomorph virus, and now they live a “digital” life.
One of their ships was part of an ill-fated expedition to the ominous Leviathan, where the signatures were recorded similar to those recorded in the notorious Monolith. No one of that expedition returned back. Only the Sentinel ship escaped. Unrecognizably changed. As after a serious illness. The transformation affected not only his appearance, but also his capabilities. And his AI began to respond to the call sign “Plague Doctor”. He looks for the infected everywhere and treats them as he considers right - by death.
A unique feature of this ship is the ability to infect ships. If a hostile ship contacted its other allies, then the infection spreads to them as well.

Halloween in Space
Every year in late October according to the terrestrial calendar a wave of anomalous energy passes through the Universe. Following an old Earth tradition this time is called ‘Halloween’. Fanatics and cultists worshiping the Signal believe that on ‘Halloween’ souls of the dead penetrate into our world.
Earlier, scientists explained the phenomenon by the fact that it was at this time that the Signal reached its peak. Every year, numerous laboratories conduct risky Signal energy domestication experiments. Several years ago, one of such Jericho projects ended in a disaster. Since then, all objects with the active signal have been given the codename W.I.T.Ch.
‘W.I.T.Ch. Hunt’ protocol is coming into effect. Mercenaries will receive special rewards for destroying W.I.T.Ch!
Protocol ‘W.I.T.Ch. Hunt’!
UMC has recovered special, previously discontinued weapons in its warehouses. This is the only weapon guaranteed to protect mercenaries from the Infected. Using missiles ‘MEM Inquisitor’ you have to destroy the ships of those mercenaries that are suspected of carrying the alien infection.There are infected among all combat roles — you need to destroy at least one infected of each role.
The best mercenaries will receive a special achievement and a special title!
Special missions from Miranda Del Arte
Signal’s Peak’ is coming — it’s a dark time when the spirits of the dead come to take what they’re owed by the living! Miranda Del Arte offers mercenaries new special assignments! Receive monocrystals and Galactic Standards as rewards for completed tasks!
Scary sounds!
Some pilots reported hearing very frightening sounds and demonic laughter when docking with the station. Perhaps it has something to do with the operation W.I.T.Ch. We were able to intercept and record one of these transmissions:
‘Detonation’ mode
Centre is receiving disturbing reports about special bombs in PvP-mode ‘Detonation’ looking extremely suspicious! We invite all pilots to be careful in these troubled days.
Strange faces
Members of UMC staff as well as intelligence agencies of various races and corporations actively working with the mercenaries, have been looking very strange and suspicious the last few days. Maybe it has something to do with the Signal’s peak. But these may also be just costumes for the holiday.
