Star Conflict 1.11.8 Edges of risk. Stage one
The Universe is infinite and our questions about it are countless. Sometimes it’s better not to ask anything at all.
Excerpts from the memorandum of Dr. Parks prepared for the annual meeting of directors of the Federation corporations in the fringe sectors.
I get lots of questions about Summer. Who is she? Why are we afraid of her? Let me remind you, colleagues, that we first heard about Summer back in 4615. That sudden activity of the Revenants, a bunch of their agents among the mercenaries and staff. I clearly remember our panic. They seemed to be everywhere. Then we discovered their lair in the Ydra system. We had some sweeps in our ranks, and everybody calmed down. Completely in vain. I’m sure that Revenant agents are still among us. They might be right here, in this room.
But back to their leader — Summer. Now we know a lot more about her. Sadly, some of our knowledge looks like fiction, which casts doubt on all the data about her. Thus, according to one of the sources, Summer can clone herself or move conscience into cloned bodies. Some believe that she’s hundreds of years old. And some of my employees even say that she’s one of the Precursors! There are thousands of rumors and legends about her and her famous black dreadnought. Curiously, there’s not a single witness who has met with Summer in person. In the last few years, Summer has moved away from outright activity, and we've lost her track. But we know for sure that she was involved in the alleged research of the Erebus special expedition to the SY3176-GIII-A4 system and the attack of the Huron group on the Monolith. There’s no doubt that its purpose is the same as ours — the study of the Precursor artifacts, search for the signal source. It’s possible that she’s even closer to solving the mystery than we are.
Event “Edges of risk”
Pilots, the “Edges of risk” event will be held in two stages. There are 40 levels in each stage. Only the owners of a special Pass will be able to unlock all levels. But the first and every fifth level will be available to all pilots.
To get a reward, you need to unlock the necessary level. In order to get access to the next reward, you need to complete 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.

Empire rank 16 recon interceptor “Seeress”
In 4612, the Emperor issued a decree on the beginning of the development of a new scout ship for the Wardens. In order to have access to operational information and resources, the project was held in one of the secret laboratories near the Frontier. In 4616, the project was frozen due to the threat of infection, the laboratory was sealed, the data was transferred to a special technological cache, and the staff was evacuated.
In 4619, Ironside, with the help of his analysts, was able to find out about the existence of a cache of Warden technologies on the “southern” border of the region under his control. The cache was successfully opened, among its contents there were also developments of a scout ship codenamed Seeress. Using scientific and industrial power, the Ironside Empire finalized the scout by the beginning of 4621.
During the first combat flight, the pilot of the Seeress successfully infiltrated the territory of the RSW, destroyed the guard post and collected intelligence that was later sold to Sparta. The ship turned out to be great for espionage purposes.
Using industrial powers, Ironside began mass production of Seeress in 4622, and in 4623 offered a contract to the UMC. Under its terms, the Ironside Empire shipyards will produce simplified versions of the Seeress with an expanded cargo hold for mercenaries. Preference is given to those mercenaries who helped Ironside with his projects, but, according to rumours, money will eventually be able to solve this issue.
Special asteroid mining equipment is available to the ship. The cargo hold capacity is increased to 9 bays.
Special module “Quantum throw accelerator”
- Redirects the energy of the ship’s warp engine into the main engines, causing the ship to stop instantly, disabling its ability to maneuver and fire and resetting all negative effects. The ship then goes into a high acceleration mode, but doesn’t enter warp. The acceleration trajectory cannot be interrupted or diverted while the ship is in acceleration mode.
Special part of the ship:
- 4 parts are needed for the production of the ship.
- Can be received in the “Edges of risk” event as a reward.
More information about the new ship you can get in the next updates.
