3.1.x | Xenonion News Enclave

**I have tested this with 3.1.x and have not seen any issues; please do file bug reports if you get a crash with any DLC.**

"Xenonion is an award winning pan-galactic news organization, and Stellaris' most trusted news source - according to four of the five arthropods it nerve stapled.

Founded in 2200 following a questionable merger between several media conglomerates, Xenonion has emerged as the galaxy's largest news provider.

Headquartered aboard the ISS Xenonion deep space black site, the organization broadcasts continuously via a network of mind control satellites, and is currently syndicated in every major space-nation.

The network is known for its high-quality news and space-weather coverage. With bureaus on every major planet, alongside a roving fleet of news Titan-class starships, its journalists are never far from the action."
