Centuries ago, the First Colonists shot for the moon … and beyond. They settled on Dechrau, and the seeds of the Union were sown in the planet’s harsh earth. Half a millenia later, Dechrau New Year is celebrated across the cosmos - including the halls of Halberd-001, where Union pilots serve alongside Commonwealth compatriots. Hop in your Starfighter, and launch into a delightful Dechrau New Year! Note: Dechrau is pronounced ‘deck-rou’ (‘rou’ as in ‘round’).

🎉 The ‘Astrafite Rush: Progress Tracker’ NFT is now unlocked for trading! 🎉 The trading link is here: https://opensea.io/collection/pg-astrafite-rush When trading Tracker NFTs on OpenSea, ensure you are viewing the latest data - to do so, simply refresh the metadata in OpenSea and give it a few minutes to update, or follow the ‘View website’ link to view the NFT on our website directly (to avoid OpenSea’s metadata caching layer). 💎 ASTRAFER claiming 💎 This NFT is the key to claiming ASTRAFER rewards earned in the Astrafite Rush - the reward claiming process is planned to begin on January 4. ASTRAFER rewards will be claimable by visiting the Astrafite Rush page with the ‘Astrafite Rush: Progress Tracker’ NFT within your wallet. Rewards will be vested through 10 payments over 10 months (10% of total earnings each month). KYC will be required to claim ASTRAFER rewards — players who have previously completed KYC verification for Phantom Galaxies will not need to complete it again. KYC is a necessary legal requirement, to prevent money laundering and protect the integrity of the game. ❗️Important reminders ❗️ Once ASTRAFER claiming begins on January 4, ensure you check how much of a Tracker NFT’s ASTRAFER has been claimed before trading. Refreshing metadata will be essential to informed trading. Participating wallets flagged for breaching the TOS have been disqualified from the Event. Be aware that Tracker NFTs awarded to disqualified players will be visible on OpenSea, these NFTs will show blank results, and will not enable players to claim any ASTRAFER. 📝 Note: with the unlocking of the ‘Astrafite Rush: Progress Tracker’ NFT, the deadline for saving Cycle 6 progress and rewards has now passed.

With the conclusion of Cycle 6, Astrafite Rush is complete! Thank you to each and every Ranger that took flight during our first ever Event - searching, mining and battling to reach Personal Goals and the shared Community Goals. Our Rangers have continued the pattern seen throughout the Rush by surging through the Community Goals - earning a bonus 5 ASTRAFER for the top 10,000! Rangers surpassed the 3M Astrafite Goal by over 800,000, and cleared the 37,500 Fire Dancers Goal by roughly 15,000! You should be very proud, Pilots - a spectacular finish! Make sure you visit the ‘Phantom Galaxies — Astrafite Rush’ page to save your progress in the Event, to ensure you receive any earned rewards: https://phantomgalaxies.com/astrafite-rush-event You will have until December 21 (11:59 PM UTC) to save Cycle 6 progress and rewards. The team will be processing and validating completion times for each Cycle. More details will follow, in a breakdown and wrap-up post coming soon…

This is it, Rangers! Cycle 6 has begun, and we are in the Astrafite Rush endgame… Launch into your final opportunity to earn ASTRAFER in this Event! Mine the last of drifting Astrafite, wipe out the desperate remnants of the Fire Dancers. We hope you are ready for one final rush…

Goda and Pennaway did their best here, but the Fire Dancers seem to have upped their encryption. Audio channel was nothing but garbled static - however, we have managed to extract this visual. You’ll have to rely on your eyes for this one, Ensign. https://t.co/WDuzKDX5Nc

Some more intercepted comms: “Last ditch effort, lads. It’s been an honour flying alongside ya. ‘In dead waters, our flame is reborn.’” Unravel the Fire Dancer’s code, Ranger, and we’ll know exactly where to find them.

Some pirate chatter: “Rangers are listenin’ in, fellas. If you’ve forgotten our codes, I’ll boil the lot of ye. ‘Six lives is ’er price, cheaper of the pair. Paid to reach home - let the suitors beware.’” Can you crack it, Ensign? Got the ring of some old Terran myth…

Attention, Rangers! More Fire Dancer comms have been intercepted - snatches of chatter, partially decrypted images… It’s almost time for the final wave - let’s put out these flames for good.

Planet Owners🪐 your exclusive @TheSandboxGame x @the_phantom_g NFTs are here! 🎉 This NFT is a collaboration of two leading Web3 innovators, from artist @KRSuperSoldie. If your wallet was captured in our Planet Owner Snapshot on August 24, claim your NFT with these steps 👇

At ease, Pilots. Cycle 5 of Astrafite Rush has ended! The light of the Fire Dancers is beginning to fade, as their desperate Astrafite hunt leads them into oblivion. Our Rangers made short work of the Community Goals, crushing the Astrafite mining and Fire Dancer battling targets - a bonus 5 ASTRAFER is coming for the top 10,000! But the fight is not over yet. Ready yourself for the final onslaught, when Cycle 6 begins on Friday December 9, at 12 AM UTC!

In Astrafite Rush, the Starlight Comet comes blazing through the galaxy once each Cycle - filled with huge amounts of Astrafite… 🌠 This comet is named after Starlight Children’s Foundation, who Blowfish Studios worked with in April to fulfil the wish of young aspiring game developer, Sebastian. In a visit to the studio, game designers, artists, programmers and other dev disciplines came together to give Seb the chance to bring his game ideas to life - the 3D model for the Starlight Comet was designed by Seb himself! Starlight Children's Foundation is a fantastic non-profit organisation that brings fun, joy and laughter to sick kids when they need it most. If you want to help support Starlight, their official website can be found here: 🌟 www.starlight.org.au 🌟 Read more about Seb’s visit and the Starlight Comet here: http://bit.ly/3Heddl5

Welcome to the home stretch of the Astrafite Rush event - Cycle 5 has begun… Even if you haven’t taken part in previous Cycles, you can still jump in now and earn ASTRAFER! No time to waste, Rangers - there’s Astrafite to mine and Fire Dancers to turn to cinders.

Pennaway had some help on this one - Intel Officer Goda’s inside sources provided a valuable lead. This location looks familiar… Be quick, Rangers, I don’t like Fire Dancers closeby.

Another image Pennaway has extracted from Xanorra Fire Dancer encryption. If that’s where I think it is, you’ll be facing those fanatics on their home turf…

@everyone Our first piece of intel, Rangers - Officer Pennaway pulled this image from a Fire Dancer transmission. Find this location, and give those pyromaniacs what for…

Rangers, the next time you see Pennaway at the Shining Star, treat him to a free drink. Our esteemed Engineering Officer has intercepted some Fire Dancer comms. Intel coming your way soon…

The GAM3 Awards from Polkastarter Gaming are celebrating the best titles in Web3 gaming, and Phantom Galaxies has been nominated for ‘Best RPG’ of 2022! It would warm our mecha hearts if you cast your vote for PG before the December 15 deadline! Vote here ➡️ http://gam3awards.com

Cycle 4 is complete! We’ve sent the Fire Dancers packing… but they’ll be back, burning with vengeance and their insatiable hunger for Astrafite. Once again, our Rangers blasted their way through the Community Goals - clearing the 3M Astrafite by over a million, and the 37,500 Fire Dancers by over 10,000! Cycle 5 begins Friday, December 2, at 12 AM UTC!

Intergalactic news, Pilots! We are proud to have been nominated for ‘Best RPG’ in the 2022 GAM3 Awards! These are the first-ever GAM3 Awards, an annual awards show celebrating the best in Web3 gaming. A massive thanks to Polkastarter Gaming for the nomination! Phantom Galaxies is building up to become the best ARPG in the Web3 space - get in before voting closes on December 15! Vote now ➡️ http://gam3awards.com 🙏🏻

The Scorcher’s legacy puts all the NCA at risk - Cycle 4 of Astrafite Rush is upon us. 🔥 Mine Astrafite and defeat Fire Dancers, lest the galaxies be turned to cinders! Remember to keep an eye out for the Starlight comet, for MAJOR Astrafite hauls! 👀

INTERCEPTED FIRE DANCER COMMS ☠️ “I’m lookin’ at the comets right now, fellas! Sweet blue Astrafite!” “I don’t like it - too close to the Rangers.” “The Scorcher’d torch ya for that, gutless worm. Quit yammering. Any Rangers show, we’re just a short warp from base.”

At ease, Pilots. The team at Phantom Galaxies would like to follow our North American friends, and give thanks to every community member who has joined us on our journey to build the best AAA game in the Web3 space. We’re taking this opportunity to express our appreciation for all our players, especially those who have given us feedback - be it positive and constructive. You are a part of making PG the best project it can be, and we value your high standards. We hope you are enjoying Astrafite Rush and look forward to the Beta testing journey ahead. Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
