Galnet News: Galnet News | Elite Dangerous Community Site 

• Who is Lexi October?

• “Her hands-on approach came to light in 3305, when the Consortium rescued struggling tech firm Supratech. The investment stabilised the company after poor sales of its Torc computing system and enabled further development of products such as the Artemis exploration suit.”

• “October’s reputation for discretion was reinforced in 3307 when she hosted an exclusive gathering for the secretive Joker's Deck, attended by political and corporate elites including Zachary Rackham and Scorpio DeVorrow. The event made headlines after master thief Winking Cat stole a priceless artefact.”

• Felt like ‘previously on Galnet News’, keeping the story warm

• We are reminded that she saved Supratech, maker of the Artemis suit.

• Not sure if the goodies, whatever they are, are going to be restricted to the powers that remain in the Enclave
