0.376.5 - Dark Market

Updated Terms of Reference

Employment regulations are now in place on Enceladus to protect crews. Under the new regulations, the roles crewmen can be assigned have been clearly defined. Enceladus Corp has updated the OMS packages provided for use on all systems to reflect these roles, in an attempt to remind all crews of what an employer may legally expect of them. Remember to report all employment violations to the Enceladus Employment Office immediately.

Sleeping on the job

Following Vilcy and independent reports of apparent live derelicts in the rings, it has been found that a new underground drinking game has been responsible, in which crews literally attempt to drink each other into unconsciousness to settle claim disputes. While Enceladus officials approve of any attempts to solve disputes without firing mass drivers, they nonetheless have instituted severe fines and penalties for crews found to be inebriated in the rings.

Illicit goods

Authorities are investigating an increase in reported consumption of mass driver ammunition and drone toolheads. While an increase in average consumption could be attributed to the emergence of new mining strategies, there are concerns over the potential development of a black market.
