A MESSAGE FROM YOUR FRIENDS AT CODE.

In order to comply with the current government guidelines on social distancing and isolation, please stay at least 150km away from other capsuleers at all times in crowded space and self isolate by avoiding leaving the station while other people are outside. To ensure social distancing, we are now allowing only one miner per belt.

.

Please sanitize your projectiles before loading in order to help combat the spread of ship-to-ship transmissions, and use a fresh pair of gloves when operating your F1 control panels.

.

The empire borders are now closed to all foreign citizens; you will require a permit to cross through internal regional space. If you wish to travel between alliance areas of influence, contact CODE with regards to permits. Failure to follow this instruction will forcefully and suddenly return you to your preferred station of choice. Please resist the urge to blockade run the border checkpoints in home-made or modified T1 haulers as we have seen some people attempt.

.

Please wash your hands before and after going for a walk in the station, and make sure your clones get tested if they have recently woken up suddenly with no memory of how they’ve gotten there.

.

Nonessential Implant surgery will be postponed in order to make beds available for the expected influx of patients.

.

Only essential travel outside of the station is permitted, such as: grocery shopping in Jita, or taking your drones for a walk. If caught outside without a legitimate cause, you will be fined and CONCORD will be notified after 30 seconds.

.

Essential service personal such as Jump Freighter pilots and manufacturers will be allowed and encouraged to keep working in order to keep supply lines open and ensure a steady supply of ”Ultraviolet S” laser crystals to market hubs, as panic buying is causing shortages in supplies. Why people are panic buying such an odd product en-mass is still being analysed (we believe holy shaman are confusing these for salt crystals), but the Empress herself has impressed upon the populous that this behaviour must stop so that older, more bitter pilots and veterans will able to secure the resources they so desperately need.

.

With your help we can prevent the spread of the deadly JOVID-19 (formally known as the Jovian disease) that has decimated the population of the Jove Empire since November. If you have travelled through or are returning from Jove space, you will need to be tested and self-isolate in your pod for 14 days.

.

Thank you for your patience and understanding in these trying times, and in the words of Scott Manly, fly safe.
