Star Conflict 1.11.4 Awakening. Stage one
The universe is full of unanswered questions. Sometimes the answers only make it worse.
Excerpts from the memorandum of Dr. Parks prepared for the annual meeting of directors of the Federation corporations in the fringe sectors.
“… Our other researchers came to the conclusion that the so-called Precursors didn’t disappear at all, but went to another dimension to explore it. They left and couldn't come back. And the Signal is an attempt to open the path between the worlds again. Bartle and his followers got excited about the idea of opening the way to the Precursors. The Signal gave them knowledge and strength. And this knowledge led to war when Jericho returned.
We don't know exactly how they planned to open the gate. Analysts believe that it’s not energy that is required for opening, but a special resonance that occurs at moments of mass death of people. But they lost the war and their leader, they had to survive, and forget about their plans.
Since humans failed to cope with the task sent through the signal, the Precursors sent the Aliens as they are not alive and can pass through the barrier of worlds. Their task was the same — to open the Way. Actually, this is what all the aliens are doing now: they destroy people in order to gain enough energy to open the Way between the worlds and return the way home to the Precursors. Who knows if there will be a place for humanity in this world when they return here…”
Event “Awakening”
Pilots, “Awakening” will be held in two stages. There are 40 levels in each stage. Only holders of a special Pass will be able to open all levels. But the first and every fifth level will be available to all pilots.
To get a reward, you need to open the necessary level. In order to get access to the next reward, you need to pass all the previous levels. You can join the stage at any time when the stage is available.
The event will last for three months. During the entire period, all pilots will be able to earn a special game currency in battles — Xenochips.
- Xenochips can be obtained for completing any tasks as an additional reward.
- Xenochips are introduced into the game for a limited time and after the end of the event will be removed from the game and from the accounts of the pilots. We recommend that you have time to spend xenochips before the end of the event!
- Xenochips can be spent to receive special rewards during the event.

Jericho rank 16 guard frigate “Confessor”
The first ships of this type were seen in 4622 in the Solaris system under the banners of the Raid. The frigates weren’t responding to the contact requests, but they weren’t attacking first as well. A group of mercenaries attacked a lone ship on a dare. The attack failed: they couldn’t break the ship’s shield and in the course of counterattack the frigate destroyed the majority of the attackers, forcing them to retreat.
According to their stories, the ship’s pilot contacted them during the battle and offered them to confess before dying. Because of this, the frigate was codenamed “Confessor”, the name that was assigned to it after the first official publications about the ship. Soon after this, the UMC was approached by old contacts of Jericho, who offered to transfer a small batch of these frigates to the mercenaries in exchange for some information. Whether this is true or not is unknown.
Nowadays, a small circle of UMC pilots close to the Mendes family have indeed received ships for themselves, but they aren’t willing to make contact and share the details. It’s only known that Confessor control systems are extremely difficult to use, and this makes their use almost impossible without special implants. According to rumours, the UMC is working on adapting the systems to the needs of ordinary pilots, but there has been no visible success yet.
Special module “Adaptive restoration system”
- Accumulates a charge for damage dealt to the ship’s which increases the shield resistance. Upon activation, it spends all charges to restore the shield and gives a bonus to speed.
Special part of the ship
- 4 parts are needed for the production of the ship.
- Can be received in the “Awakening” event as a reward.
- More information about the new ship you can get in the next updates.
New mission “In search of the lost shuttle”
“Ancestral legacy” turns to you with a non-trivial task. A shuttle carrying an artifact of interest to them has been lost at the imperial landfill. All we know is that it’s a small transport shuttle. Your objective is to find the artifact and scan it in order to transfer the data to “Legacy” and receive a fair payment. But stay alert — the landfill is guarded by imperial mercenaries, and it’s in your best interest to avoid them. The fewer witnesses, the better.
“In search of the lost shuttle” mission marathon!
Attention all pilots! The UMC received a fixed-term contract from the so-called Broker.

- All pilots who took from 25th to 40th places in the “In search of the lost shuttle” mission leaderboards, recorded by the UMC engineers on April 3, will receive 300 xenocrystals, “Yoshiwara flowers” pattern, “You’re asking how much ammo I’ve spent?
