Discover the once vibrant Fortune’s Cross station, explore the treacherous tunnels of The Coil, and feel the magnetic pull of the system’s glorious auroras. Before you visit, be sure to download your very own map with all the information you’ll need to keep safe and keep flying.
The Odin system where "most" of Squadron 42 takes place has been unveiled. Note: it's an 8K image.
I like the style of the space stations. Very different from Stanton's and Pyro's. Lots of cool lore and unique locations. Can't wait to see more.

That's a lot of assets never seen in the persistent universe.

For example I found this "2025 LA12" in the Kessle Highway location: https://imgur.com/a/e4M0A8k Might be nothing, but I'm wondering if CIG is teasing something related to Squadron 42 happening in LA this year (Game Awards trailer? idk).

If they do it, I hope they start with a banger trailer first at least and then come on stage for a few humble words.

It's much more interesting to me to have a huge galaxy, but tell a big story about a small part of it.
It makes the world feel bigger. Not everything has to be an adventure that goes from one end of the world (or galaxy) to the other.
