On March 31st we published "The End of the Rainbow", the final major chapter of the "Caretaker Protocol" Distant Worlds 3 storyline. We would like to take a moment and dedicate this story to the memory of Michael Brookes. Fly safe, Michael! #EliteDangerous #DistantWorlds3 #FrontierDevelopments

Roefoo ZE-H d10-0 the system that just keeps on giving www.elitedangerous.com/news/galnet/...

Due to the hard work from Commander’s prior to the launch of DW3, enough materials were collected from to the Community Goal. These materials have been used to build a new deep space exploration haven. Welcome to Rainbow’s End

The fleet have now reached WP8 Roefoo ZE-H d10-0 also named by the DW team as Khazad-dûm.

Explorers of the Distant Worlds 3 Expedition have found another old wreckage, this time near the Veil's Ember supernova remnant. The discovery is as concerning as the last one near the Praei2 permit locked sector a few weeks ago. #EliteDangerous #DistantWorlds3 #FrontierDevelopments
