Chemal Tech / Upwell Consortium Strike Deal With Caldari Navy as Upwell Consortium Break Ground on New Structure Project in Auviken
YC126/04/06
Following the disastrous destruction of a Chemal Tech convoy in Murethand last month and a tense effort to recover eleven missing scientists that were in the custody of the capsuleer alliance Fraternity, Chemal Tech has shifted their strategies for asset delivery to Syndicate.
While the details of the agreement are unknown at this time, it appears that Upwell Consortium have struck a deal with the Caldari State and Caldari Navy for access to the Navy Shipcaster in Onnamon to deliver vital cargo to Syndicate with reduced risk of capsuleer interference.
Even with the ability to transfer cargo directly from Onnamon in High-Security space to the destination in Syndicate, capsuleers still pose a considerable risk to Chemal Tech convoys, with four Badgers having been intercepted in Onnamon by criminal actors. Efforts to intercept the convoy vessels at their origin point in Auviken have been struck down by, in small part, SAYR Galactic security forces.
These cargo transports are departing from the same facility as Upwell’s latest structure project in Auviken where Upwell is currently accepting rogue drone components from capsuleers as part of their development of the, as of yet, unclear project. The ambiguity of the project and structure’s purpose has led to rampant speculation.
SAYR Galactic analysts spoken to on the matter, however, agree that given the focus Upwell Consortium has placed on rogue drone graviton emitters as well as the shape and positioning of the structure, that Upwell may be looking to innovate in the space elevator industry in some way.
Only time can confirm or disprove speculation and guesses for now though.
