As we continue our travel through the Chaos, the Grand Admiral has decided to open up a dialogue with the Chiss in order to establish mutual aid. In doing so, we’ve learned that a religious cult known as the Kilji Illumine has acquired enough forces to directly challenge the Chiss, through an unprepared cluster of systems in the Tkon Rift.

The Fleet Commander's update can be found on the wiki, at this link.

The Secret Order, as an elite force of operatives, has been tasked with taking part in special operations in order to increase the Fleet’s efficiency. We will be focused on utilizing our available resources in order to acquire assets, form contacts, and increase the fleet’s efficiency. To that end, we will set a number of targets, with bonuses based on breakpoints. These will be accumulated by the entire Secret Order during the first three weeks, and the bonuses will be applied for the final week of Imperial Storm VI.

The top pilots in each category shall earn a Crescent based on placement (CR-Diamond on down, for the top seven.)

The top three pilots by total accumulated points overall shall earn a Gold Nova, Silver Nova, or Bronze Nova.
