1. Celebrate the end of the Comfy Canonn Cruise! The expedition followed in the steps of CMDR Marxanthius to visit all biological, geological and stellar pheno33mena the Milky Way has to offer—according to Canonn’s knowledge to date and excluding atmospheric planets. After visiting 134 waypoints in 300 days and travelling over 500 thousand light years, Khonsu will return to Varati, the home of Canonn Research, completing the tour on Saturday the 8th of January. CMDR MalForTheWin, Twitch streamer and co-host of the Flight Assist podcast, will coordinate a mass jump in Elite: Dangerous Odyssey on PC from HIP 101166 to Varati, where CMDRs will gather to greet Khonsu on her arrival. If you want to join the fun, tune in to CMDR MalForTheWin’s Twitch stream at 20:00 UTC next Saturday, the 8th of January. To help with instancing the event will happen in CMDR IvIePhisto’s private group, please request access beforehand and join it for the event, then gather at CMDR Elirium’s fleet carrier Angels’ Share in HIP 101166 for the mass jump. If you got a fireworks launcher from the Winking Cat, be sure to bring it along!
