- Special Event: Do your part to support Operation Rogue Core! - 6 May 2026
Hello Miners, We’ve got a critical situation on our hands. An enormous electromagnetic pulse has just erupted at the core of Hoxxes IV, sending ripples throughout the entire planet. It’s brought all our deep-level Expenite extraction operations offline — we’ve lost contact entirely.

It’s time for Operation ROGUE CORE. Management has dispatched an elite squad of Reclaimers to the depths of Hoxxes to breach and secure the mine sites that have gone offline. But while the Reclaimers are deployed near the core, we need your help to ensure your own work sites stay operational. Management is seeking volunteers to assist in the new ‘Reclaimer Collaboration Initiative,’ where mining crews help support our brave Reclaimers in m…
