  "note": "CONCLUDED in 4.3.2 (2025). In-fiction dates: 2955-07-17 to 2955-09-16. Hurston Dynamics won. This was a ONE-OFF event during the Regen-crisis story arc — it is NOT a recurring quarterly event. The wiki has no separate 'Resource_Drive' framework page. If CIG ships a sequel, this page becomes a template; in 4.8 it remains a historical reference + the source of the live Hurston Pyro Gateway takeover + 5% station discounts at Lorville / Everus / Pyro Gateway.",

    "tag": "Concluded // Historical Reference",
    "title": "Second Life | Resource Drive",
    "summary": "A 2025 mission group during the Regen Crisis arc. Imperator Laylani Addison called on the four Stanton mega-corps (Hurston Dynamics, Crusader Industries, ArcCorp, microTech) to gather research materials — copper, tungsten, corundum. Players picked a corp to support and earned corp-branded rewards across 5 SCU-tier milestones. Hurston won by a landslide (337.1M SCU); the persistent legacy is Hurston's permanent takeover of Pyro Gateway + 5% discount at Lorville, Everus, and Pyro Gateway."
