The Guristas insurgency is not over yet, so Vanguard forces are being kept on the ground for longer, and reinforcements are being rallied together. To that end, YC126.11.28 Groundbreak is being opened up to free access and extended until 12:00 UTC on 12 December.

In addition, Vanguard contribution to corruption or suppression in the cluster will be increased over the weekend, so make sure to take advantage of this boost while it lasts.
