  "note": "Both Jumptown (event) and Nine Tails Lockdown are flagged DISCONTINUED on the wiki. The Jumptown DRUG-LAB OUTPOST still exists as a static location on Daymar (relocated from Yela in 3.22) with a SLAM/WiDoW commodity terminal — you can still farm the buy-cycle. Nine Tails faction NPCs still spawn as bunker/pirate enemies. The scripted dynamic events are NOT running in 4.8; CIG has historically revived them for free-fly weekends — re-confirm each patch.",
  "overview": {
    "tag": "Discontinued // Static Lab Persists",
    "title": "Jumptown | + Nine Tails Lockdown",
    "summary": "Two legacy outlaw events that defined Star Citizen's drug-running and blockade gameplay loops. Jumptown (now on Daymar) is a Crusader-jurisdiction drug lab that spawned SLAM/WiDoW crates around a contested dispenser. Nine Tails Lockdown was a system-wide blockade event where Nine Tails seized a Lagrangian point and disabled quantum travel through it. In 4.8 neither runs as a scripted event — the LAB is still farmable for SLAM/WiDoW buy-runs, and Nine Tails NPCs still spawn at bunkers + GrimHEX corridors."

  "jumptown": {
    "summary": "Drug-lab outpost on Daymar (relocated from Yela in 3.22). Crusader jurisdiction. No landing pads — surface landing only. No armistice. Extreme cold hazard. Comm coverage present. Two entrances + two lab rooms in the current ring layout.",
    "factions": "Nominally Crusader Security jurisdiction; outlaws (Nine Tails-affiliated + generic criminals) typically hold it. During the legacy event, CrimeStat 0 = lawful General-tab 'priority'; CrimeStat 1+ = unlawful Personal-tab 'priority'.",

    "payout": "Terminal buy prices at the static outpost (live in 4.8): SLAM = 120 aUEC/unit, WiDoW = 101.01 aUEC/unit. Outpost is a PRODUCER — its listed price is what you SELL to it (or BUY from it as a player run). Best historical sell points: Lyria-area lawful kiosks + GrimHEX. Published trade route: Nuen Waste Management → GrimHEX = +1.35 aUEC/unit margin on SLAM."

    "CrimeStat 0 needed to even see the lawful mission — clear fines at a kiosk first.",
    "Lab is on DAYMAR (not Yela) in current builds — old guides mislead.",
    "Bring a multi-tool + tractor attachment — boxes are 1 SCU and stack-friendly in a Cutlass / C2.",
    "Expect PvP camping. Wiki note: 'Players are known to camp out here.'",

    "No landing pads — surface landing only. Bring a ship that sits flat.",
    "Take a passenger / co-pilot for turret defense during cash-out hop.",

    "Without the event, the SLAM/WiDoW dispenser is NOT actively spawning crates — outpost is best for buy-cycle today, not free-spawn.",
    "Outpost has map marker only, NO quantum marker — fly in from a nearby QT marker."
