Oh boy. Ok kids, gather round for much merriment and joy as we recount the Tale of The Gnosis And The Many Fuckenings Of Which It Partaketh.
In-story version: The Gnosis, megaship belonging to the Canonn Research Group, attempted a hyperspace jump into uncharted territory, but something went wrong and the jump failed, where it was swarmed by Thargoids, prompting a, effort by independent pilots to drive off the attackers and rescue the megaship.
Real world version: Canonn is actually a group of players, who became famous early in the game for absolutely mindboggling levels of 'tism at using real astronomy and science to figure shit out that FDev had sprinkled around the game. FDev actually put them officially in the game as an independent research group and "gave" them a megaship, The Gnosis, before fleet carriers were even a thing. They didn't control it really, but they could tell FDev where they wanted to jump (within a particular range of their position), and they would be moved there on the next server tick.
Around 2018, someone found out that in the middle of a permit-locked area, there were some non-permit-locked systems you could in theory jump to, but no ship in the game had the range to do so. Except, yes, The Gnosis. So, Cannon decided to make a whole thing out of it, moved the ship into position (Outotz ST-I d9-4), and invited a whole bunch of explorers to hop on the ship on their explorer ships so they could explore these previously unexplored systems.
Explorer ships are fragile. This will come up in a minute.
