Number	Name	Image	Description	Unlocks
1	Our First Steps on Oizys		Once again, I, Reportingway, am honored to put to pen the initiative's endeavors on a new frontier: Oizys. I can only hope to convey a fraction of the haunting and enigmatic beauty in the scenes before me! Our research teams decided our next destination in conjunction with the Studium's Faculty of Astronomy, guided by observations from the Phaenna Stellascope. Oizys was eventually selected due to its singular natural environment─sculpted by some manner of gravitational anomaly─and, above all, the remnants of civilization detected upon its surface. What stories lie untold upon this star? As the initiative's ace reporter, my ears are aflutter with anticipation! We have established our primary base, Terra Firma, around the exoskeleton of an ancient structure, which stands tall despite the ruptured earth around it. Having withstood the gravitational destruction for so long, it shall doubtless serve our purposes well as we expand and develop. As we are certain to do─for there are far too many mysteries waiting to be uncovered by our capable contributors!
2	A Habitation Module of One's Own		As part of interior and exterior refurbishments of Terra Firma, Oizys is now outfitted with habitation modules! Establishing the Sinus Ardorum and Phaenna bases of operation was oft a matter of carving out functional and relatively comfortable living space amidst harsh natural environments. One cannot help but be struck by the marked contrast of construction upon Oizys, where we find ourselves clearing rubble left by those who came before. After several incidents involving contributors more focused on their exotablets than their surrounds, floating rocks and other head-height hazards have been removed from the base. Rest assured, though, that no precious data was lost─precise measurements were taken of both coordinates and mass of all floating objects. And with the gravitational magick controls installed in habitation modules, we need not risk becoming an unintended floating object during moments of repose. The needs of each new base leads to breakthroughs in habitation module adaptability, and, we hope, to better-rested contributors!
3	Expanding the Cosmoliner's Reach		The Cosmoliner network on Oizys now covers the wasteland surrounding the Megalithopolis, installed at a breakneck speed made possible by the bedrock of knowledge and experience our engineering crew have obtained from our previous forays! Ask an engineer after a hard shift exactly how the Cosmoliner operates, and you'll be treated to a treatise on stations interlinked by aetherial tethers─akin to artificial aether currents, as this humble reporter understands it. Thus far, such pairings have relied upon precise coordinates at counterpart stations. However, gravitational anomalies on Oizys were discovered to cause minor fluctuations in coordinate data, necessitating an urgent and drastic overhaul to the system to permit a margin of error. And now, with the Cosmoliner network covering the entire scope of current exploration, the engineering team's sleepless nights will save many sore feet!	Cosmoliner extension to most of map
4	Infrastructure to Rely On		Hydrofication and energization stations have been successfully installed on Oizys, bringing us one step closer to a fully functional base! A complex web of gravitational forces is at play on Oizys, and, naturally, any equipment brought to this star feels the effects of the anomalies that occur here in some way. Still, our key infrastructure underpins the entire venture─malfunctions and failure simply cannot be tolerated. Any and all challenges must be overcome, even if they be as mundane as keeping a reservoir of drinking water from floating away. Once again, our answer lay in gravitational magicks. Their skillful application on complex mechanisms has ensured that, for now, our essential infrastructure remains reliably operational.
5	A Generational Shift		Gravity generators installed on the Unmoored Anchor have established a foothold on Shadefleet, that floating invitation to exploration! The convenient contraptions amplify gravitational magicks and direct them towards the cliffs of Shadefleet, resulting in a beam of concentrated energy strong enough to amass all floating rocks within its range. As this debris firmly packs the chasm, an equilibrium is reached─and a perfectly functional bridge emerges. Current theories suggest that Shadefleet once rested at the same elevation as the plains surrounding the Megalithopolis, before being violently wrested skywards. In other words, minerals that once lay deep underground now lie exposed. Who can say what discoveries await our intrepid explorers as they brave the bridge?	New area (Shadefleet) in east part of map New Stellar Missions
6	On the Rocks		Shadefleet is now connected to the Cosmoliner network via the Unmoored Anchor station! Though a marvel of engineering, the bridge created by the gravity generators presented certain hurdles. Quite apart from its limited load-bearing capacity, a group of researchers with a particularly pronounced fear of heights submitted a petition claiming it was not fit for purpose─which included impassioned personal accounts of crawling on their hands and knees, with eyes tightly shut, lest they topple into the abyss. With the Cosmoliner, we need suffer no such setbacks to productivity! Being closer to the gravity spheres in the sky, the new stations will likely be more susceptible to gravity distortions. Early indications do not suggest this will result in passengers being torn into the sky─though the unusual conditions will doubtless prove valuable for future Cosmoliner research and development. All contributors are encouraged to ride with peace of mind!
7	Firmer Foundations for Terra Firma		Work on the base exterior and interior to expand operations was performed in tandem with repairs to the original structure, ahead of planned restoration work on the crystalline mechanism in the center. The energization station is primed to channel maximum output into Terra Firma and wiring to surrounding facilities is now complete, ensuring connectivity of all functions. As more and more intrepid souls arrive on Oizys, it was the ideal opportunity to refurbish the mech hangar and related infrastructure. Newcomers can expect their introduction to the initiative to be a somewhat more comfortable experience. With the base suitably prepared, we can finally shift our focus to the reawakening of the colossal structure at the heart of Terra Firma: the Euhedron.
8	Euhedron Awakened		With its aether restored, the Euhedron shines again in all its crystalline glory! The research teams hypothesize that the Euhedron functions as some kind of immense data storage device, though the knowledge within appears to be incomplete. Decoding it will take time─likely in the form of many sleepless nights. There is evidence to suggest that the Euhedron once floated, and it seems safe to assume that its crashing to the ground may have resulted in some damage. Though it continued to rest listlessly upon the ground despite its restored luster, the Cosmic Exploration Initiative is nothing if not ingenious. Yes, dear reader, the Euhedron was restored to its former position! Upon steel girders for now, perhaps─but do we not all need a little support every once in a while? Elsewhere, expansion raised concerns regarding the environmental adaptations. To ensure our contributors can enjoy a long, comfortable stay on Oizys, habitation modules have been outfitted with panels to negate adverse gravitational effects, constructed from locally sourced materials.
9	Cosmoport Support		The cosmoport, gateway to Oizys, has been expanded! A dedicated energization station accelerates the rate of charging, while installation of the anti-anomaly panels─similar to those of the habitation modules─provides greater stability during takeoff and landing procedures. Cosmoliner connections to key facilities have also been optimized, creating a smoother supply network for valuable resources! Given the presence of gravity spheres above the base, strict limits were set in place on how much cargo could be loaded aboard inbound ships. With the improved functionality of the cosmoport, these limits can finally be lifted. This allows for increased shipments to Etheirys, and is a crucial step for further exploration of the cosmos! As ever, the impact of the gravitational anomalies continues to inform our direction on the ground─quite literally, it would seem. Minute changes have been recorded in the ground some distance from the rainbow crystal. While it may yet seem insignificant, this humble reporter senses a big discovery is not far off...
10	Knocking on Burrow's Door		When Oizys's shifting gravity revealed a large ruin in Emerald Echoes, our tireless contributors came together to remove sand, rubble, and rock alike. And what should emerge but a door─undoubtedly the ingress point of a larger subterranean structure! Noting the resemblance to a sand rat's nest, Namingway has bestowed the name “Desert Burrow” upon the ruin. What discoveries have the Voyagers left for us beyond the door, I wonder...? To facilitate further exploration, the Cosmoliner network has been expanded to deposit you right by the front door, so to speak─now, all that remains is for our contributors and researchers to pick the proverbial lock!
11	Burrowing In		Our restoration efforts have paid off, and the ruins now lie open. The glow of the door markings has shed light on the Voyagers' civilization, both figuratively and literally. Our investigations thus far have revealed that these facilities were once powered by dense currents of aether directed through crystals─our predecessors' advanced understanding of aetherology is most inspiring! While surveys of the interior have yet to begin in earnest, we've placed simple lighting around the ruin to allow our hardworking teams to gawp in admiration without fear of stumbling in the dark. Already, a crystalline structure has been discovered within. The base is alight with speculation on what its activation may reveal─further chambers? Or other long-buried truths?
12	A Stone to Guide Us		The aforementioned structure in the ruins─which we've come to call the Guide Stone─has been successfully reactivated! As if in response, crystals throughout the ancient corridors lit up with a soft, lamplike glow. As we uncover these small glimpses into the past, one cannot help but wonder what this place looked like in the age of the Voyagers. What purpose was it built to fulfill? And did these halls once teem with eager researchers as they do now? The key to these mysteries, among others, likely lies within the Metahedron, a massive crystalline terminal discovered at the heart of the Burrow. Preliminary observations suggest it to be a small-scale replica of the Euhedron itself. If, like the dormant giant of Terra Firma, the Metahedron can likewise be reawakened, then we may have our answers.
13	Metahedron Awakened		After ages of slumber, the Metahedron has reawakened! Its great crystalline pillars glow with the same verdant shades of the Euhedron, calling the vibrant foliage of Etheirys to mind. Initiative findings suggest that the Euhedron and Metahedron are comprised of the same material as their Guide Stone counterpart, though the two larger terminals are of a far higher purity. Perhaps the deeper, more vibrant color is an indication. Though I am no expert in aetherology, perhaps these larger structures required the removal of impurities that obstruct the flow of aether. Putting aside this reporter's unfounded musings, there is much to be learned in the days to come. Our researchers have already found signs of aetherial resonance between the Euhedron and Metahedron, for one thing! It is only a matter of time before their connection is fully understood.
14	On Emerald Tracks		The Cosmoliner now extends to the deepest reaches of Desert Burrow! The Guide Stone and Metahedron will require a consistent supply of aether-rich Oizys jasper to remain operational. As such, the Cosmoliner was deemed the most efficient method of transporting these materials. While investigations are still ongoing, initial findings also suggest an added benefit of construction: the artificial aether currents between each station may prove instrumental in strengthening the connection between the Euhedron and the Metahedron. This final expansion completes all planned Cosmoliner construction within the exploration zone. The next phase of the project will fall predominantly upon the shoulders of our research teams as they bring the secrets of the Metahedron to light!
15	Further Fortifying Terra Firma		Further structural reinforcements have been carried out on Terra Firma! Interior sectors undergoing maintenance have been finished in preparation for planned construction, and the base is in tip-top shape. Of course, in the spirit of the initiative, all installations are temporary, allowing us to return the ruin to its original, unaltered state should the time come for us to take our leave of Oizys. Though reversible reinforcements may sound like an unrealistic aim, the talent and perseverance of our contributors continue to make the impossible possible! But, you may ask, why go to such trouble to reinforce Terra Firma? Once again, our crystalline terminals hold the answers. Even now, plans are being finalized for the construction of a communications tower atop the base, which will amplify the resonance between the Metahedron and Euhedron and allow the transfer of aetheric information between them. Ahead of the construction phase, elevators and exterior staircases have been installed to grant access to the roof. I must say, it's an excellent spot to gaze out over Oizys and admire the fruits of our labors thus far!
16	A Tower of Triumph		With its twin spires reaching skywards atop Terra Firma, construction of the Orthostat Tower is now complete! Even now, the mechanisms within are emitting great volumes of aetherial information. It shall serve as a resonator to join the Euhedron and Metahedron, despite the distance between them. The Euhedron was missing vital aetheric information, making full reactivation impossible. However, if we can synchronize it with the pristine information banks of the Metahedron...we may finally have all the pieces to the puzzle! All evidence seems to indicate that the Euhedron was an integral part of the Voyagers' activities here on Oizys. Once reactivated, we may be able to learn more about our enigmatic predecessors. Driven by the promise of discovery, our researchers are preparing to calibrate the Orthostat Tower for full operational status.
17	Of Past and Future Voyages		What secrets will the Euhedron reveal? Our research teams are hard at work even now, eager to pierce the veil. Any information we obtain about the Voyagers will greatly inform the initiative's next hop forward. Preparations are already underway on the Galactic Way─it will be ready, when the time comes. When we discovered Oizys through the Phaenna Stellascope, we immediately observed traces of a bygone civilization. But from such a distance, we had no way of knowing what lay in store. Of knowing them. Through our exploration of this star, I believe we have witnessed the Voyagers─and walked alongside them─in our own way. What were their ambitions? Their hopes? Their dreams? To learn the answers, we must continue our voyage. For it was theirs, too.
