 * Maelstrom is the first event to feature a continuous alien attack.
 * Maelstrom was the first event to feature new alien fleets in the form of Greater Unknown Signals, with a new layout putting the Alien Hives much closer together.
 * Maelstrom was originally thought to award the Dominion Carrier by some players.
