This CG is unlike those that came before!
Before participating in this CG, sign up for a faction at https://www.elitedangerous.com/en/colonia-expansion-initiative/
While we all contribute to the same CG in game, your contributions will be logged towards the faction that you have signed up for at the above website.
The top 10 factions will establish a presence in Colonia (they'll get a base and become a minor faction). The CG will then repeat every month, with the top 3 factions each month getting their minor faction established.
