While we're aware that Alpha 3.18's imminent wipe makes things less lucrative, we still wanted to launch the event over the holiday break for those simply looking for some mayhem and carnage. As a reminder, this will be your last chance to check out this iteration (2.0) of Jumptown, ahead of the Jumptown 2.1 debut in late January.
Inspired by historic, player-driven events back in 2019, Jumptown 2.0 is the official re-imagining of those epic credit-fueled clashes. This Dynamic Event challenges players of all types to get in, get out, or even take over a lucrative drug lab uncovered in the Stanton system. Choose a side, gear up, and get ready for mayhem.
To take the lawful path, be sure you have a CrimeStat of zero and then accept the mission from Crusader Security. The drug boxes you collect at the mission site will need to be taken to the closest LEO port. For example, if the mission is taking place at Jumptown, you would take your haul to Port Olisar.On the lawful path, if you successfully delivery at least one run of contraband back to the LEO port, you will receive an aUEC bonus on top of the price of the drugs you deliver.
To take the unlawful path, you must have a CrimeStat of any level and accept the mission from Ruto. To do this you will need to have a non-negative affinity with the mission giver. Ruto knows how valuable this intel is, so he also asks a buy-in for the mission.
On this path, all contraband must be taken to Grim HEX to be sold off, regardless of where the mission is taking place. The unlawful path will provide a bonus to the price of each successfully delivered drug box.

A warm and inviting living room is fully decorated for Luminalia with the lamp lit and burning brightly on the small table at the center. The peace of the tableau is interrupted when CASSANDRA, mid-twenties and wearing a holiday robe, pops up from behind the couch.
We quickly learn that she is desperately searching for something as we see her scour the living room with a determined look on her face. Pillows are tossed to the floor, rugs are lifted, and she even checks under the sleeping flatcat. No luck.
Drawers are searched. Cabinets flung wide. Containers opened and emptied. Where could it be? Cassandra runs a hand through her hair, exasperated.
It’s then that her PARTNER enters the room. From their shocked expression, we finally reveal the full extent of the chaos that Cassandra has caused. The idyllic room from the beginning is now in shambles.
Cassandra looks suitably embarrassed about the mess she’s created, but her partner just knowingly shakes their head with a smile. Putting a hand on Cassandra’s shoulder, they point to the corner of the room overlooked in the earlier search. There, high on a shelf, we catch a glimpse of shiny wrapping paper.
Reaching up, Cassandra pulls down the hidden Luminalia gift and eagerly unwraps it revealing the familiar green package beneath. A huge smile spreads across her face and we see what she has been so intently searching for -
A pristine package of Ringalings.
Eyes closed; she bites into one of the sweet, crumbly, jammy biscuits. Pure bliss washes over her expression as she savors this classic treat.
VOICE OVER: Ringalings. A holiday favorite too good to keep hidden.
The Ringalings logo superimposes over the happy couple enjoying their traditional late-night snack together.

Inside a bustling shopping plaza, a happy SHOPPER steps out of a busy clothing store carrying bags from multiple stores overflowing with wrapped Luminalia presents. The results of a very successful shopping day.
VOICE OVER: This holiday season, give a gift that not only your whole family will appreciate…
We follow the Shopper as they move through the plaza passing elaborate holiday displays and enticing decorated storefronts.
VOICE OVER: …but one you’re sure to be thankful for too.
However, rather than turn into any of those alluring stores, the Shopper instead heads straight for a nearby Empire Health Services center with a large “Imprint Scans Available Here” sign.
VOICE OVER: That’s right. The perfect gift this Luminalia is an up-to-date Imprint scan.
A friendly NURSE explains a terminal to the Shopper who happily selects options from the screen showing how easy and fun the imprint process is.
VOICE OVER: Not only does a current imprint protect you from excessive emotional distress and potential memory loss during the regeneration process…
We see the Shopper leaving Empire Health Services having received their scan only to be greeted by their loving family who runs up to hug them.
VOICE OVER: …it ensures that your family can look forward to spending time with the best possible version of you no matter what happens.
The family, united and happy, joyfully laugh together.
VOICE OVER: Empire Health Services. Better care for all.

A bright blue planet hangs in space. It looks familiar. Like dozens of other worlds you might have visited before.
VOICE OVER: It seems every day, our universe gets a little bit bigger.
Sharp mountain peaks gleaming white with freshly fallen snow cut into the crisp blue sky. We can hear the cold wind howling.
VOICE OVER: And those we love drift farther apart.
The peace of the mountains is broken by the faint roar of a powerful thruster. We can see a plume of snow in the distance as someone dashes through the mountain range at high speeds.
VOICE OVER: Thankfully, the 2953 Mustang is here to bring you all back together.
We are rewarded with a close up of the Consolidated Outland Mustang Alpha in all her glory, gracefully speeding along the snowy mountain tops.
VOICE OVER: Carefully crafted and tuned to perfection, the Mustang offers unparalleled responsiveness and agility effortlessly paired with a ride quality beyond all expectations.
Showing off its deft flying skills, the Mustang darts easily in and out of the conifer tree line. Inside the well-designed cockpit, the PILOT, wearing a festive Luminalia sweater, enjoys every moment.
VOICE OVER: The Mustang from Consolidated Outland. Fly a little faster. Glow a little brighter. And get a little closer with those you love.
The ship lands at a small, freshly Pioneer-built outpost nestled into a valley with stunning vistas, joining a Mustang Beta, Mustang Delta, and a Mustang Gamma already landed there.
VOICE OVER: From our “Souli” to yours. Enjoy our special Luminalia financing packages at select Terra dealerships.
With their Mustangs parked neatly nearby, our family of pilots sit together at a cozy firepit in front of the Luminalia-decorated outpost enjoying a hot mug of sloma as snow lightly falls. A moment of togetherness made possible by Consolidated Outland.

This short story originally appeared in Jump Point 10.02.
A sudden uprush dispels the dark. Pernell Arai opens his eyes to find himself in a bright, sterile medical facility.
“There you are Mr. Arai.”
“Where am I?”
“It’s okay. You’re in Orison. Looks like your regen was successful. How are you feeling?”
Pernell draws a few deep breaths then wiggles his fingers and toes. “A little sore. What happened to me?”
“Afraid I can’t help you with that. You suffered a traumatic injury though, don’t think they’ll be any scarring though, so you’re lucky there. What’s the last thing you remember?”
Parnell’s memories come flooding back. He’s dancing with Sergie. He’s on a beach in Cassel basking in the glow of Goss’s binary stars. He’s a kid struggling to steady a gun to shoot cans in an abandoned building on the outskirts of Archibald Station.
“Your brain activity looks normal, at least,” the doctor says while navigating screens on her datapad.
“Sorry, I’m remembering things. It’s just a lot at once.”
“All good. I ask because your last imprint was quite a while ago. If you don’t imprint frequently your short-term memory can be a bit hazy. You know that, right Mr. Arai… Mr. Arai?”
Pernell shifts his eyes from the window’s stunning vista over Orison back to the doctor then nods knowingly. “Sorry, still settling back in.”
“Totally understandable. Well, all your vitals look good, so you’re free to leave. Obviously, take a little time for yourself, and maybe imprint a bit more frequently. Might make things easier next time.”
Pernell thanks the doctor then leaves the hospital in a daze wearing the clothing provided to him. Wind whips across the Cloudview Center platform chilling him to the bone through the thin material. Still, he stops to enjoy the sunset spreading vibrant color across the sky. He even leans over the railing ever so slightly to take in the cloudbank below. A sudden rush of vertigo overcomes him. Pernell takes a quick step back then wonders if that’s how he died, like a fool, falling off an Orison platform.
He sits on a nearby bench and closes his eyes. No recent memories surface. Eventually Pernell stands and walks across the platform knowing full well that things could be worse. At least he remembers the location of his hab.
Back at his Green Circle hab, Pernell opens a closet to change. For a second he’s shocked to see his favorite helmet missing. Of course he was wearing it when… He pauses again, hoping something will come back, but nothing does. Instead, he recalls how he quit tailing a target in the backstreets of Fujin City to buy the helmet from a popup stall. Something about it suited him and it had served well, keeping him safe. That is, until now. Only later did he discover it was an early and exceedingly rare CC’s Conversion helmet. One that is immensely valuable to him in many ways, and now potentially gone forever.
Pernell pops open his mobi and scrolls through his inventory. His heart sinks when he sees what’s missing. It must’ve been a big op if he took so much stuff. There’s enough of his gear still in storage, but he feels so disconnected from this collection of odds and ends that it’s like browsing through someone else’s closet. He can’t remember the last time he wore half this stuff. Shoving the dull ache of loss aside, Pernell grabs his backup undersuit and stuffs his right leg into it, praying it still fits.
Circling above the surface, it doesn’t take long before Pernell spots the bunker’s support structures. He slows the ship and adjusts course to keep his distance, unable to trust his memory enough to know whether or not the spot has turrets. It all looks vaguely familiar, and the more he circles the more he feels like he’s been here. If he had to bet, this is where he died.
Pernell found this spot after checking his mobi for his recent job history. His last gig brought him to this bunker, which would explain why he took so much stuff. In the past, he would’ve assembled one, maybe two people for something like this, but Pernell started doing jobs like this alone since coming to Crusader. At first it was out of necessity, since he didn’t trust anyone, but as his confidence grew and the credits rolled in thanks to getting to keep one hundred percent of the payout, he soon found himself scrolling his mobi specifically for similar gigs. Plus, if Pernell was being honest, he found the rush of facing down a hive of outlaws all on his lonesome to be incredible.
Now, contemplating landing back at the bunker where he died, Pernell wonders about the wisdom of not bringing back up. He’s already at a disadvantage wearing his second-hand gear with some asshole in the bunker probably getting ready to shoot him with the carefully calibrated weapons they’ve undoubtedly looted from his body.
Slowing the ship’s thrusters, he spots a turret and sets his sights on it. He primes a missile and pushes in. To his surprise, the turret doesn’t care. He takes his finger off the trigger and buzzes the bunker. When that doesn’t prompt a response from the turret either, he loops back and lands without incident; glad it didn’t cost him any munitions to set down near the entrance.
He climbs out of the ship, quickly double checks his unfamiliar gear, and hustles toward the bunker. The outer doors are already breached and slightly open, showing a sliver of the elevator inside. He unholsters his pistol, a near pristine Arclight II, and enters cautiously. A few steps inside, a hail of bullets strike his ship. Pernell spins to see that the nearby turret is now very active. His ship’s shields flare for a moment before they blink out, and he barely has time to avert his eyes as an explosion sends ship debris flying across the landing pad. Job done, the turret returns to rest. For a second Parnell feels woozy and steadies himself against the door. When it passes, he takes a second to contemplate his next step, activates his mobi, and sends out an emergency beacon. Then he collects himself and steps onto the elevator. Certain that it will take a while for a ride to arrive, and that he didn’t come all this way not to get his helmet.
Once inside, Pernell gets deja vu. He knows a lot of the prefab bunkers around Crusader were built using the same modular design, but this one feels strangely familiar. He creeps in quick and quiet then peers around a corner to see a grenade coming his way. Instinctively, Pernell rolls forward and takes cover behind a stack of crates. The blast knocks a few atop him, which he quickly kicks away and starts firing. A figure falls and Pernell rolls through the swirling smoke to a new position. He holsters the pistol, unslings his P4-AR rifle, fires, and watches another figure fall. He pushes forward, drawing fire from another concealed position. Pernell weaves behind cover until he’s flanking the remaining combatant. He swings his rifle up and focuses on a hazy shadow within the columns of smoke and squeezes the trigger until the figure falls.
Pernell takes a moment and lets everything settle. His ears are still ringing from the initial grenade blast, but the bunker is otherwise quiet. He gets up and crosses to the last figure he shot. His heart sinks when he sees what’s left of the distinct shape of his helmet. Now bullet-ridden and modded to match the gang’s colors. Something about seeing those colors makes memories flood Pernell’s mind. He looks around the space and it all comes back. Including the fact that there were four of them last time. Pernell hears footsteps behind him, and before he can raise his rifle, everything goes black.
The End
