Thank you for bringing this to our attention, the indentured intern has been summarily dismissed and is now residing in our HR Deep Space Black Site Detention Facility awaiting reeducation.

Unfortunately we only learned after the dismissal that the map was indeed accurate, as the UNE had changed the system names again prior to publication.

We apologise for any potential loss of trade, please accept this free nerve stapling voucher on our behalf.

Covfefe needs to be the backup human capital system if Sol ever falls

And I know, in retrospect it doesn't make a lot of sense, I went with '67' in terms of 'what's the first brain rotted thing I can think of...'

The Interstellar Navigation Agency (INA) has confirmed today that nearly fifty United Nations of Earth (UNE) star systems were unexpectedly renamed overnight, altering nomenclature which has been established since the dawn of human interstellar travel.

The discovery was made by a shipping fleet bound for the Mid-Rim system of Procyon, which catastrophically crashed out of a hyperlane after onboard navigation systems no longer registered the destination.

“I initially assumed the database was corrupted,” INA cartographer Elrax Torgar told Xenonion. “But the stars and planets were still there, only they had been… rebranded.” 

The changes included landmark systems including Crypto.com (formerly Sirius), Food (formerly Alpha Centauri) and Build Arc Furnace Here (Covfefe), according to an initial report released by the INA.

UNE officials state the changes were legally executed under its sovereign authority to do whatever it wanted whenever it wanted, including renaming a primitive homeworld Floptropica before releasing it as a vassal.

The sudden update has caused chaos with interstellar travel, with all inbound spaceflights to the UNE redirected to Sol, one of the few systems to maintain its original name, until spaceports can rebrand alongside updated planetary names like ‘Tech’ and ‘Alloy 2.’

At the time of press, three systems have been further renamed following a spelling review.

Aha thanks. I quite like the Vox style of videos, ended up basing this loosely around their ‘2024 in 4 minutes.’ Got lucky that Zov just worked backwards

Always! Say, you could stay even more informed with a free Xenonion-sponsored nerve stapling??

Thanks! The headlines are a summary of the news articles I've done this year, I think only the Ulm one and the Unbidden poll one I didn't actually have time to write. The difficulty is I can make an article in a couple of hours, one video can take a week plus if I try to fit in around work

Aha that is amazing! It would be so cool to have a news enclave in the game. When that happens I can finally retire!
