Galaxy Grand Tour: Results!

-- Excerpt from recent CNS (Colony News Service) broadcast --
 
    "Though initially cancelled, four brave pilots decided to join in a sudden race, using the original rules and objectives of the Zoner's event planned for this weekend. This race led them through a death-defying course through the Outcast home system of Omicron Alpha, past the Zoner base at Genesis, and then through the hellish ball of mines surrounding the Gateway to Nirvana. After an uncertain period of diving in and out of the mines, only three managed to pass through the deadly field to the finish line.
Representing the infamous pirate clan known as the COP, the first place winner turned out to be dangerous pilot, Pui de Zmeu. He elected to retain two brand-new Magnums as his reward for braving potential death!

 

    In second place, we have the courageous pilot who goes by the IFF signature 'XxX_weed_XxX'. For his efforts in navigating the mines, he was awarded a new Ultra Hull Mark 7!

 

    Coming in third place, we have the diligent and determined pilot who goes by the IFF signature 'Silent'. After pulling through almost certain death, he managed to make his way through the mines to the finish line, and earn the third place prize of a whopping 1 billion credits!

    Though he was unable to make it through the field, a pilot by the IFF signature 'Akon' was awarded with a participation prize of 250 million credits. The Zoners would like to extend a special "Thank You" to all pilots involved, and are looking forward to hosting further events in the future."
