Welcome to the 14th edition of the Syndicate Underground! As explorers across the galaxy continue their journey into 2024, we're excited to share the latest happenings from the six Planetary Syndicates. Kavian is leading the way with its innovative Chinese community engagement program, aiming to enhance the Alien Worlds experience through customized content and interactive activities. In a groundbreaking collaboration, all six Planetary Syndicates, including Eyeke, have joined forces with Sci-fi luminary Kevin J Anderson to expand the lore of Alien Worlds. Eyeke, in its enthusiasm, has swiftly established the Lore Lab, a hub for fostering player-focused events and integrating this expanded lore.

Veles is stepping up its digital game with a significant contribution to Alienw.com, making planetary data more accessible than ever before. Naron is supporting 'Mercenary Battlegrounds', a Tower Defense style game that cleverly bridges traditional gaming with the innovative world of blockchain technology. Neri is ambitiously positioning Trilium on the global stage, targeting a centralized, regulated exchange listing to revolutionize access in over 30 European countries. Meanwhile, Magor is a hive of creativity, managing projects ranging from the MMORPG 'Trilium Quest' to an exciting comic series in collaboration with LightningWorks.

Though a bit belated, let's carry forward the spirit of renewal and optimism that the new year brings. Here's to a late but heartfelt wish for a fantastic 2024 to all Explorers! Let's celebrate these inspiring developments in the Syndicate Underground.

Veles recently earmarked 50,000 Trilium to support the newly revamped Alienw.com. The custodians appreciate the website's usefulness and the easy access it provides to planetary data. Alienw.com contains community-written content, proposal news, staking information, current custodians, and a detailed log of all proposals across the six Planetary Syndicates. Check out AlienW.com today to stay informed.

Current Custodians

Kavian has recently approved a proposal for 250,000 Trilium, initiating a 10-week Chinese community engagement program for Alien Worlds. This initiative focuses on content creation and localized game support, among other aspects. Its primary objective is to boost engagement and expand the player base in the Chinese community. This will be achieved through language-specific game guides, regular events, online activities, in-game tasks, and community events. For more details, join the community-operated Chinese Telegram group.

Current Custodians

Naron has recently allocated 100,000 Trilium to support the development of 'Mercenary Battlegrounds', a Tower Defense style game. First presented at the Interplanetary Unconference, the game is now in its early development stages.

Upon completion, 'Mercenary Battlegrounds' will be available on Steam. While the game will feature its own collection of items, players will also have the option to use Alien Worlds NFTs for unlocking additional items or buildings through staking.

Initially, players won't need a blockchain wallet to start playing. The game's design aims to introduce new players without prior blockchain experience to Alien Worlds and the WAX ecosystem in a simple and accessible manner. It will also offer enhanced features through WAX-based NFTs.

If fully funded, the project aims to release an early alpha version by early 2024. The total funding goal for the project is approximately 500,000 Trilium.

Current Custodians

Following their recent support of the Tokenized lore proposal, in which a foundation for Alien Worlds lore was established in collaboration with esteemed Sci-fi author Kevin J Anderson, the Eyekes custodians wasted little time in expanding their lore horizons. They have created the Lore Lab, which will include a lore club focused on creating events for players, and a lore advisory council dedicated to supporting the creation and integration of lore.

Current Custodians

Neri is supporting an initiative, backed by multiple Planetary Syndicates, to list Trilium on a centralized, regulated exchange. The plan involves approximately 20 proposals to garner the necessary support. This initiative partly aims to explore the possibility of listing the Trilium token on an existing, centralized, and regulated exchange. The selected exchange, potentially licensed in Switzerland, may facilitate OTC (over-the-counter) trades between cryptocurrencies and EUR and CHF. It is anticipated that users could be onboarded through bank wires, and the exchange might serve prospective users in over 30 European countries. Resources allocated for this proposal will partially support various activities related to introducing Trilium in the Swiss market, including research, marketing, and consulting fees. The tentative timeline for the token listing is around Q4 2023.

Current Custodians

Magor continues to support five exciting projects, including four games and a comic collaboration with LightningWorks. 'Trilium Quest', a MMORPG currently in development, is one of these projects. For more information, check out our recent article. 'NFT Panda', another notable project, has successfully run a series of collaborative events featuring Alien Worlds NFTs.
