 This is a Witchspace news special report, the Oracle Starport is falling.

We awoke this morning to an urgent message from Commander Emgran of the AXI reporting that the Oracle Starport in the Delphi system was falling from orbit, yes really. The station was attacked by Thargoids Thursday last week and taken offline. This in and of itself is not terribly unusual, the pesky Xeno space roach menace does stuff like this all the time, however the game was patched last night as part of the Odyssey release and after that patch it was noted that the station was accelerating toward the planet below. If you're unaware the Oracle Starport is of special significance as it was among the first stations to ever be attacked by the laser Lurgies back in 2017, indeed at the time Frontier produced a cinematic video of the event that featured this very Starport and it has since become the poster child for station attacks. The news reports on Galnet last week made special mention of the fact that the Thargoids had swarmed into Delphi but they'd actually arrived and attacked in several systems. There is of course always the chance that this is a convenient bug, it wouldn't be the first time in Elite that we'd dropped into an orbiting object and it had been accelerating away from us, it's rare these days but it has happened and just after a major update like Odyssey you'd expect some oddness until the dust settles. If it isn't a bug however then this means at least two things, firstly it's a marked change in the ramifications of a Thargoid attack, instead of a station being knocked offline it could be knocked out of orbit and obviously put completely out of use, secondly the landable planet of Delphi 5a is about to have the flaming hulk of a colossal starport come crashing down onto it in approximately 8 hours or so as we record this, suffice to say commanders are already gathering in Delphi in anticipation of what may or may not happen. That's it for now, thanks very much for watching, we'll be back later today with another video, oh seven commanders!
