Hi everyone! Monthly news for you all!

SEASONAL BOSS FIGHT CHANGES:

We've significantly upped the damage dealt to the seasonal boss via some methods! 

• Cloudcoins now deal damage at a rate of 20cc:1.
• Item donations now deal double their previous damage.
• Daily logins now deal between 10 and 50 damage.

Rules update:

We've added one new point to our species rules, under trades and sales:

Do not make unsolicited offers on other users' characters or items. If a character or item is not explicitly listed for trade, or otherwise offered to you by its current owner, do not ask for them. Repeatedly begging for, requesting, or offering on other users' characters or items may result in a strike.

We have also added rules to the requests channel of our Discord server. Please be sure to read them.

CIRROCANIUS DESIGN RULES UPDATE:

As a small update, we would like to clarify that going forward all legal Cirrocanius must include clouds somewhere on their body. This means that traits such as Clear Sky and No Vortex cannot be stacked together without features such as Rainbow Tail or Overcast adding clouds elsewhere on the body. Contrails and cloud-shaped markings do not qualify.

PRIDE EVENT closes:

Our pride event is now over! Thank you to everyone who participated. 

Prompts that are currently in the queue will soon be processed, and all other event activities are now closed.

If you haven't claimed the boss rewards, you have 24 hours to do so, after which the mystery design raffle will be rolled.

The Pride Parade collab will be edited together sometime this month!

AWAN CLEANUP phase 3:

Phase 2 of Awan Cleanup has reached its goal, and phase 3 has begun! Phase 2 prompts are now closed.
View the new set of prompts here! 

As a reminder, This is a goal that the community must work together to accomplish. Each submission to the relevant prompts will contribute to the site-wide progress bar, and those participating will recieve tokens for their efforts! Each prompt will yield at least one token, but going above the minimum requirements may grant you more. There will be three phases in all.

There are two types of prompts that you can complete: repeatable prompts, which work the same way as event and seasonal prompts, and once-per-character prompts, which can be completed once per character and award a patch to their profiles! Each prompt has limitations on which species can complete them, so be sure to read the rules carefully!

The cleanup event and prompts will remain open until all three phases are completed, at which point there will be a followup story!

This is the final phase!

ART FIGHT EVENT:

Our yearly Art Fight even has begun!

DIALOGUE EVENT:

The Art Fight 2026 dialogue event can be read here! Make sure to read it over, as there is a prize code at the end.

This event was written by Lobcorp.

ART FIGHT GALLERY:

Our Art Fight gallery is open! Art Fight attacks may be redeemed for a slightly higher rate than regular art redemption.  Any Art Fight attacks featuring TSS characters must be submitted here for Play Tickets. 

In addition, you will also receive Play Tickets, raffle tickets for three themed mystery designs, and the chance to receive Art Fight boxes. Play Tickets can be spent at the Art Fight shop.  Every five submissions rewards a random item box.

Note that all submissions must include a link to the attack on the Art Fight website in the description, and must fill out criteria on both the gallery and prompt submission.

TEAMS:

Just like last year, we have set up teams for the event! You can earn points for your team by submitting Art Fight attacks featuring TSS characters to our prompt.

At the end of the month, all users on the winning team who submitted an attack on our website will receive a small prize!

You can pick your team here! It does not need to be the same team you picked on Art Fight, but be warned that you cannot change your team after you have picked it.

ART FIGHT SHOP:

The Art Fight Shop is open! You can spend Play Tickets earned during the event here.

It stocks event pets, boxes for this year and previous years' teams so that you can get the patches and borders you may have missed, and a few other themed items.

The shop can be unlocked using the Stage Play Script, which you can recieve via the prize code at the end of the dialogue event.

COMEDY VS TRAGEDY VS MYSTERY PET VARIANTS:

The following pets have recieved new variants: Galonimbus, Gilby, Fifi, Kitwisp, Fantailed Duck, and Cloaked Lemur! You can switch to these variants with the Theatrical Mask item available in the Art Fight shop.

ART FIGHT MYSTERY DESIGN RAFFLES:

We have three mystery design raffles this year, each themed after one of the three Art Fight teams!

You will recieve tickets for all three designs when submitting to the Art Fight prompt!

New Staff & Staff Applications:

We've hired two new members of staff! Everyone welcome tetrangel as a Helper and artilite as a Species Artist!

Additionally, we are looking to hire at least one more Helper!

If you are hired, you will be given a 3-6 month trial period. After this period is over, you will either be offered a position as a full moderator or let go. We ask that you do not apply if you feel you would take it personally to not get a full position - sometimes things just don't work out.

Please keep in mind that this is an unpaid position, however all staff members are compensated for their work via Admin Points that are able to be redeemed for items in a staff-only shop on site. Additionally, as staff you would have the right to participate in pre-planned gachas, advents, and other adopt batches. Helpers are not, however, able to make customs or adopts independently.

You must be at least 18 years old by September 15th 2026 in order to apply. We are looking for users with a strong understanding of our species and website, with enough free time to manage an often busy server and queue, and who are able to meet deadlines consistently.

Your responsibilities as a Helper would be as follows:

• Looking over MYOs and redesigns
• Processing gallery submissions, prompts, and other on-site submissions
• Responding to messages in the Design Checks and Help Channel in our Discord server
• General server moderation
• Assisting in planning and setting up species events and features
• Creating art for use on the website where needed, including item and pet art, raffle designs, and other graphics

Applications will close on July 7th. New Helpers will be contacted on July 10th, and announced publicly on July 11th.

Apply here!

Emergency adopt sales [Kingscreek]:

This is not directly related to The Space Station, however our Species Artist kingscreek and their family have been experiencing a financial emergency and we wished to boost their bulletin about it.

It would mean a lot if those of you who are able could look over their adopt sales and ko-fi, or otherwise boost their bulletin. Thank you!

Port CHRYSANTHMEMUM Raffles:

A Port character reached 0 Starbits this month, so we’ll be raffling it off!

The raffle can be entered here. 1 winner will be rolled, and will receive the design from the “to be raffled” folder (here).

This raffle will end sometime on 7/15/2026. 

KO-FI SHOP UPDATES:

We have added "supercharged" variations of Myth MYOs and Refresh Charms to the Ko-fi shop.

These Myth MYOs come with unlimited common-rare traits, 3 mythical traits, and 1 fabled trait! The Refresh Charms refill two selfbreed slots instead of just one.

July BIMONTHLY UNCOMMON MYO RAFFLES:

Each MYO is 1,500 Cloud Coins if you win!
Please remember to have the Cloud Coins before entering! If we are forced to reroll you because you did not read this, you will be getting a strike. Thank you.

You can enter on the raffles page here. You will be able to self enter until 07/6 23:59:59 site time, and the raffles will be rolled on 07/8!

July SUPPORTER RAFFLE:

Design can be seen below! Everybody who is subscribed to the Space Station Ko-fi at any tier during this month gets a ticket to win the following design!

A second winner will recieve a Fabled Trait Choice Box!

July MONTHLY MADNESS:

This month’s theme is Showtime! Draw or write about your TSS putting on a show!

The July monthly madness will last till July 31st!

Misc:

• All Port Chrysanthemum MYOs from last month have been deleted, aside from those currently in the MYO queue! This does include drafts that were not in the queue, so if your submission was cancelled or you had yet to submit it, you will unfortunately need to obtain a new slot.
• Characters that have been in Port Chrysanthemum for a couple months now have been updated to have the option to be purchaseable with Cloud Coins instead of Starbits! Their Starbit prices have also been slightly discounted.
• Reverse Potions have been fully removed from the site.
• You may recieve a bunch of notifications if you submitted to the Art Fight gallery last year. Ignore them, nothing has happened, it is just the result of re-enabling criteria to the  gallery.

That's all. Thank you for reading!
