In this edition, our intrepid reporter sets out to win the Scarab Mastery Championship, a competition that brings out the best in Vodel’s humble surface recon vehicle. We also get to fly the Imperial Courier, a truly marvellous machine that will elegantly both leave your friends and enemies in your wake as you hurtle through space.

It’s not all conflict, though, as our intrepid reporter heads out on the Banana Nebula Expedition, categorising the notable stellar...
