Squadron 42 Newsletter - “Access Authorized: Restricted Vanduul Comms Revealed”

UEE Naval intelligence has allowed us to share formerly classified comms chatter intercepted during Vanduul encounters. Your examination of these excerpts will lead to a greater understanding of Vanduul syntax and diction and may even yield sensitive data to aid in Humanity’s victory. Do your part!

As a UEE Naval recruit, you will be given access to several approved phrases to begin your linguistic efforts. While official attempts to fully translate the Vanduul dialect continue at the highest levels, they must remain classified to prevent panic amongst the civilian population.

*To incentivize your efforts, the UEE Navy will provide a reclaimed Vanduul Scythe spacecraft to three participants who submit a video of their attempts to master the proper pronunciation and inflection of the Vanduul language.

Competition rules can be found on Spectrum.*

*Honor your and your fellow codebreakers’ hard work with academy regulation socks, exclusively available to UEEN recruits in receipt of this confidential communiqué (you must subscribe to the SQ42 newsletter). Keep warm and kick ass, recruit.

The UEE Public Relations and Service Department has created unique artwork that will be available in a high-resolution bundle, suitable for your workstation or handheld device, as a stark but important reminder of the Vanduul threat and the responsibility of all citizens to answer the call of the UEE.*

New Rewards, New Ladder – Coming July 1

*Hi everyone,

We wanted to let you know that the current Star Citizen referral program will be sunsetting on July 1 to make way for a completely revamped referral ladder—one that’s been rebuilt from the ground up with fresh rewards, updated milestones, and improved functionality.

The existing ladder has remained largely unchanged since its introduction, and it’s time for a refresh. The updated program will introduce a variety of Star Citizen and Squadron 42-themed rewards, with more frequent unlocks and meaningful incentives earlier in the journey.

We’re giving you a full three months’ notice so you have time to make a final push toward your next tier before the current ladder goes away.

We’re incredibly excited about what’s coming—and we think you will be too. Look ahead to the launch of the new referral ladder on July 1.*

Referral Program Update – FAQ

What happens to my current referral progress?
The current ladder and its rewards will no longer be available after July 1.

Will the new ladder carry over my existing referrals?
No, the revamped ladder will start fresh. Everyone begins at the same point.

Can I still earn rewards through referrals before July 1?
Absolutely. The current program remains active until the new one launches.

Will the new rewards include ships or gear?
We’re not revealing the full lineup just yet—but yes, you can expect a variety of Star Citizen and Squadron 42-themed rewards.

Where can I learn more once the new program launches?
Full details will be posted on July 1, including a breakdown of tiers, rewards, and how it all works.

What happens to rewards I’ve already earned?
Any rewards you’ve already unlocked from the current program are yours to keep.
