Jan. 21 around 8 a.m. a fellow explorer, pilot and friend of many Sattracerje passed away due to a massive stroke. Jan. 25 there was a missing man formation to honor Sattracer and this reporter was part of the formation to pay respect to the fallen.

Upwards of 50 pilots came to join The formation. It started just outside of Paren Station and went to its final destination, the path of shard memories in Glory's Orbit. There everyone gathered around the path of shard memories and said a few words before a moment of silence. Then something not planned and a little unexpected happened; everyone went to talk to Curator Whitely to get a memory pod and sent the pod into the sun of Glory's Orbit. Never before has so many memories been purified by Fire of the Sun, this reporter was touched by the event. After the launching of the pods, everyone gathered in the lobby of Mercury Station and begin to share memories of Sattracer. It was then I realized the true purpose of the missing man formation. It wasn't for the loss of Sattracer, but for something more a gain, a gain of new memories new friends and greater knowledge. All this was possible because Sattracer cared so much that the 50 or so pilots came together and in the processed we gained much from the experience.

I did not know Sattracer personally but I interviewed some of her friends. Mune, a very close friend of Satteracet, said that she believed in him even when he didn't believe in himself. Sattracer made Mune more patient and more uerstanding of himself instead of beating himself up all the time. Scatteracer's Motto was, "Never Give up".

Ehan, the leader and organizer of the formation, said that when he first started organizing the formation only his guild was there. He felt empty inside thinking that only his guild was going to show up, but shortly after many more pilots came to Paren to take part in the formation. His emptiness was replaced by tears of joy.

I interviewed a pilot by the name of Wolfy who was a friend Sattracer. When Wolfy first meet Sattracer he was in need of some credits. Sattracer said she could get him out of debt but he would have to work for it. They went to Roc and started hunting the Bullyweres and eventually They got a Bullywere eye and sold it for a good sum of credits. Wolfy and Sattracer got into an argument; Wolfy said he only needed a small part of the credits to pay his debts but Sattracer told him to take at lest half of it. She Worm Holed out shortly after, but before she did, she told Wolfy to call her if he ever needed help. After the gathering in Mercury Station, Wolfy held a Bullywere raid to honor his first memories of Sattracer.

From what I have learned from this experience Sattracer was a very special person and loved those how loved her and those who didn't.
