Jumptown Safe?
If you’re from around here, you’ve no doubt heard about Jumptown. Local legend tells of the infamous “hidden” drug lab on the icy moon of Yela, and the bloody conflicts that raged there as local factions vied to control its production or its fate. Now, years later, more drug labs have been uncovered in various locations around the Stanton system, and this time the firefights will be deadlier, the spoils richer, and the stakes higher than ever before.

In 2019, the Star Citizen community discovered a lucrative drug lab on the surface of Crusader’s moon Yela. What followed was completely unplanned and surprised everyone - including our development team.

Tens of thousands of players flocked to the outpost, with split motives in mind – eager outlaws and less-than-scrupulous organizations rushed to acquire and sell this newfound illicit treasure trove at any cost, while more lawful groups chose to lock down the station in a bid to prevent further criminal activity.

This clash resulted in a perpetual tug-of-war between far-flung factions and home-grown heroes over control of the outpost. You never knew what you’d find when approaching Jumptown, which only the most dedicated could locate, since it wasn’t easily pin-pointed on standard-issue maps.

These events were so profound, they ended up becoming official canon in Star Citizen’s lore – a prime example of player actions shaping the future of the ‘verse forever.

Originally released in Star Citizen Alpha 3.16, this event inspired by the original Jumptown wars, is back with all-new improvements that will challenge you like never before.

Read on for more details about what to expect, and be sure to outfit your force for the impending mayhem.

What Side of the Law Are You On?
This Event can be undertaken by either lawful or unlawful players. The mission itself plays out the same regardless of which path you take, with a few key differences.

To take the lawful path, be sure you have a CrimeStat of zero and then accept the mission from the local security office, marked in your contracts manager as a Priority mission. The drug boxes you collect at the mission site will need to be taken to the closest LEO port.

On the lawful path, if you successfully delivery at least one run of contraband back to the LEO port, you will receive an aUEC bonus on top of the price of the drugs you deliver.

To take the unlawful path, you must have a CrimeStat of any level and accept the mission from Ruto. To do this you will need to have a non-negative affinity with the mission giver. Ruto knows how valuable this intel is, so he also asks a buy-in for the mission.

On this path, all contraband must be taken to an unlawful trading post to be sold off, regardless of where the mission is taking place. The unlawful path will provide a bonus to the price of each successfully delivered drug box.

Alternative Experiences
The new Daymar location offers a clear view for snipers and attackers. Paradise Cove has moved to Wala and has a large mountain offering some protection from bombers and other aerial threats. Raven's Roost on MicroTech now has the drug lab hidden in the mountains with trees and snowstorms encouraging combat on foot or using light ground vehicles.

Multiple Points of Contention
The scofflaws and scalawags of Stanton are getting wiser, rotating the locations of their automated drug-production operations. Jumptown is but one of these facilities, so keep an eye on your mission manager for the up-to-date locations.

Get the Bag
SCU containers are bulky and conspicuous, word around the system is the local scum have started to transport their contraband in smaller, more discrete parcels. Be sure to bring a Multi-Tool with a tractor-beam attachment.

How do I get started?
Accept the Mission
Fly to the Lab
Grab the Contraband
Accept the Mission
Open the Mission Manager in your mobiGlas and navigate to the Priority category, either under the General tab for the lawful path or Personal for unlawful. This will give you both the coordinates of the drug lab and where to sell the packages.

Fly to the Lab
The drug lab will be marked on your HUD and the Starmap. It may be on microTech, Wala, or Daymar. If you're on the lawful path, you'll be taking the drugs to the corresponding LEO stations, which will also be marked on your HUD. If on the unlawful path, you'll be traveling to Grim HEX for your payout.

Grab the Contraband
Once you arrive at the lab, your goal is to find the drug spawner inside (pictured here). This device will pump out one box of contraband every 30 seconds. This timer doesn't start until you grab the previous box, so you'll have to hold your position against anyone else looking for the same payday if you want to maximize your earnings.

-New Locations
-Jumptown has expanded with the addition of a fourth PvP location in Alpha 3.22- Wrecks to Riches designed for more battle-royal-style combat. The drug lab for Hurston is located on an island, which makes it difficult for players to land their ships, while the thick atmosphere on Hurston makes air combat challenging.
