In March, we published a huge UI overhaul with desktop version 1.0. As announced in the preview for that major update, Tau Station is getting weekly updates again which brings us to another important step: We want to have the frequent meetings with your Citizen Council again!

It is perhaps an understatement of galactic proportions to say that here on Tau Station, we love story. We all have a love of reading, of good fantasy and sci fi. Most of us are also storytellers in our own right, be it through the visual medium, that of words, games, or the lost art of holo-weaving.
It is with no small amount of pride, therefore, that we react to moments of our own Citizens and players picking up the figurative holo-quill and creating their own stories!
Today we’re showcasing one such fantastic event, Unofficial Tau Station Short Story Contest!

Saying goodbye is never easy, but in 3 days I will disembark from our beloved space station. After nearly 13 awesome cycles with all of you, team and Citizens, my journey has come to end. I am sad, but at the same time very grateful and full of love. Knowing about the upcoming features and awesome (not only nice!) UI upgrade, I see a bright future for Tau Station.
For many members of our beloved Community, as well as some of the Tau Station team, right now is holiday season! Shuttles have been dispatched and orbital vacation facilities have been booked (always while maintaining the appropriate social distancing and safety requirements)!
These days, we see the planet is far smaller than before. We all need to take care of each other, therefore we share some useful information from the World Health Organisation, as well as special gift to share some joy and escape with all of you, no matter where you’re living. It’s one world, take care everyone!
Just 200 segments ago, the Citizen Council met with the Tau Station team. Today, we would love to share what has been discussed in our first video meeting with your newly elected representatives.
