Two corporations under attack by the Fire Lotus Coalition criminal syndicate have called on pilots to defend their systems. Gallant Investment Brokers in Exphiay offers paid defense contracts, while Sorbago Mastopolos Mining Inc urges combat pilots to protect convoys and mining operations. Pilots can sign up at Worlidge Hub in Exphiay or Hencke Orbital in Sorbago. Fire Lotus Coalition megaships The Coldwood and Whisper of the Wake have been recruiting aggressor pilots since the day before.
