There’s been rumors a’spinning over strange happenin’s in the Periphery. A JumpShip missing. Pirate activity down. Collapsing crime syndicates as leadership appears to be vacant.

Gents. Seriously. Periphery. Let’s spell it all out together: P-E-R-I-P-H-E-R-Y.

I can’t believe we’re even slapping gums over this topic. There’s a reason they call it the Periphery. It’s the outback, the wild frontier, the great unknown, the BFE. They sleep with laser pistols not just under their pillows, but in their hands. They got lostech like they’re still in the depths of the Third War, alien beasts that can tear you in half soon as look at ya, not to mention more pirate activity than you can shake a Lyran fist clenching an L-bill at.

What spins around, comes around, gents. This isn’t some big mystery for us to uncover like we’re enjoying an afternoon holovid murder mystery. It’s the same ol’ same ol’. In another couple of months, things along the coreward will move back to normal (or as normal as those Blake-forsaken shores can get) and then perhaps the spinward edge of the Sphere will start yapping about strange happenin’s…’cause when it comes to the Periphery, there will always be strange happenin’s.

Keep it locked and loaded, gents.

Crap, here comes the fanboys....

[Critical Fumble]

Does this mean we get our MadCats now?

[Morgana]

Uh-oh, time to start securing those cockpits and picking up both our, and our comrade's salvage. We don't want to leave anything behind to be theived by those P-E-R-I-P-H-E-R-Y pilots!!!

[Cid Slayer]

Sounds like opportunities for Lostech and taking over criminal empires!

Better get to it before it all gets 'normal' again

We already have the Catapult, but unfortunately the Marauder is unseen

So a partially invisible mech? Who needs ECM anyway.

I wish this would translate into new maps and other content, and if so, hopefully soon.

Nothing happening down in the Taurian Concordat /shrug

Say it with me guys: P-E-R-I-P-H-E-R-Y

ooooo word of blake.....

[Levi Porphyrogenitus]

The Federated Suns have a relatively quiet Periphery boarder, no? So aside from our Lyran friends, this has little relevance to us.

For now.

Hmmm I wonder what this means, lol
Probably nothing, just Periphery banter...

Nice timing, too!

[Stormwolf]

I heard some crazy rumours that Redjack Ryan and Hendrik Grimm III were killed.

So It begins....... (Come on tax return, be enough for a decent system. /crosses fingers)

Wow, I thought more people would get this. But I forget many aren't as into lore as I am...


The Clan Invasion Has Started!!!

I was wondering when "news" from the Periphery would start "leaking" information like this. We're gonna be knee-deep in Clanners soon.

Lol what's this clanner you speak of? Is it some new Cultist criminals? We already have the Blakists lol don't need any more crazy cults running around. I'm sure all of this P-e-r-i-p-h-e-r-y "news" is just disinformation from Comstar. We all know how much they like doing that lol. Maybe the pirates are just disapearing for some sort of pirate holiday? Anyways, i'm totally sure there's no boogie man out there waiting to get us. You all make it sound like the children of Kerensky are going to return!

What begins? Wierd stuff happening in the periphery? That began months ago...

IT begins, they are watching and plotting. Prepare for the arrival

p.s. They will sweep over our planets like locusts to claim what they see as their and they will not stop until they get what they want or die in the attempt.

Bunch of morons. The Periphery is a craphole, there is always something going missing, or someone dying or some drama. You just wait, in a few months we will be seeing news stories about "insert infamous pirate leaders' name here" body being found at the bottom of a sinkhole or stuffed in a crate of actuators. Some of these idiots on Outreach are buying up stocks of ammunition like the end of the world is coming, like some epic war is about to break out.

Like there aren't enough wars and problems already... you don't need to use your imagination if you got some need to see carnage.
