The target list: high-level Gillies missions and Red Alert Foxwell contracts. Paladins handled the breaking, the Reclaimer handled the scraping, and the Hull-C hauled everything that didn't fit.

The numbers exceeded expectations. 2,332 SCU of construction salvage refined down to roughly 350 SCU of CMATs, plus an additional 1.2 million credits in miscellaneous commodities pulled from soft-deathed ships.

Total: just north of 4 million aUEC in two hours.

But the memorable moment wasn't the payout. It was standing in the Reclaimer's salvage processing room, staring at approximately 145 sixteen-SCU containers stacked floor to ceiling, wondering if we'd somehow broken the game's physics engine.

We hadn't.

The containers stayed put.

The screenshots are somewhere in the media gallery.

The format proved its staying power two months later...

Industries personnel joined Security members aboard a Reclaimer, multiple Paladins, and a Perseus. Targets: Hammerheads and Capital-class vessels. Several auxiliary members returned to active duty for this event — exactly the kind of re-engagement a good recurring operation should generate.

Several auxiliary members returned to active duty for this event—exactly the kind of re-engagement a good recurring operation should generate. With combat ships freed to focus on combat, the salvage pipeline ran smoothly.

Three hours of work yielded approximately 1,800 SCU of construction salvage, refining to 296 SCU of CMATs. Event total: 2.6 million aUEC.

Smoothly, that is, until one Paladin lost power to its engines and fell into a Hurston moon, exploding on impact. The crew transferred to the Perseus and continued operations, because salvage waits for no one and Vanguard doesn't quit over a little lithobraking.

Holy Scrap proves that salvage operations scale. Bring enough Paladins to generate debris, enough Reclaimers to process it, and enough cargo capacity to haul the results — and the aUEC follows.

The operations provide genuine multi-role gameplay: combat pilots fly combat, salvage crews run salvage, haulers haul. Each role stays in its lane while contributing to a unified pipeline. The format generates income that funds future operations and re-engages auxiliary members who might otherwise sit out.

Jackals leadership is already looking at continuing the series.

The replication is proven.

The numbers are real.

If you've been waiting for a reason to dust off your Paladin or finally crew that Reclaimer, Holy Scrap is it. Jackals leadership is planning the next iteration.
