1553    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nI met Lonnigan as planned on Kurile yesterday and we came to an agreement on the price. The plan is to meet on Freeport 7 tomorrow to seal the deal on the ore shipment. If everything works out they'll owe me a million credits. It's the deal of a lifetime.\n \nPERSONAL ENTRY:\nWell, I did the deal. I'm now the proud owner of over a ton of Boron. I put all my savings into this deal. It's not entirely legal, but here in the Borderworlds, nobody really pays too much attention to this. I've been in contact with a man named Lonnigan, apparently a hired gun representing Samura Heavy Industries. He says his clients might be interested in the shipment.\n \nPERSONAL ENTRY:\nIt's been six weeks since my last entry. Unfortunately, I couldn't find out anything about alien ruins or uncharted systems. Very frustrating. The only thing I've heard was that there's been sightings of strange ships out near Sigma 17. Who knows. The good news is that I've managed to hook up with a captain of a Republican Shipping convoy. He's transporting a large shipment of Boron from Mainz to Honshu, but wants to keep the profits for himself. We agreed to meet on Kurile tomorrow. We'll see, maybe luck is on my side this time.\n\nPERSONAL ENTRY:\nAfter two weeks of travel, I finally managed to get to the Sigma system cluster. The trip through the Independent Worlds turned out to be much more dangerous than I thought. I was lucky several times that police patrols happened to be in the area when pirates wanted to blast me out of the stars. Anyway, word has it that there are a number of uncharted systems in this area of space. I will try to find out more information.\n\nPERSONAL ENTRY:\nI've finally decided to leave Bretonia and to try my luck in the Borderworlds. Despite what Tobias says, I can't sit around Leeds for the rest of my life and fix up other people's ships while more and more alien ruins are being discovered. They say that only 11 percent of the Borderworlds have been charted yet and hundreds of unknown planets are awaiting discovery. I'm starting this personal Neural Net Log to keep track of my travels and adventures.

The original proposal by Dyson did not go into much detail about how a Dyson sphere would be constructed, focusing instead on the more fundamental issue of how an advanced civilization could expand its energy production to the maximum possible for a given solar system. Such a civilization would be classified as a Phase II civilization under the classification scheme developed by Nikolai Kardashev.

15001    Arrival of Freeport 7 Survivors
15002    Just moments ago, the survivors of the Freeport 7 disaster arrived here in Manhattan. After two days of intense travel, several of the survivors required immediate medical attention. Requests by the LSF to conduct interviews concerning the attack have been declined by the medical commissioner. Meanwhile, the official death toll has risen to 2,600, making it the most devastating disaster in recent history.
15003    Rheinland Admiral in Manhattan
15004    Rheinland Admiral Otto Schultzky arrives in Manhattan today to meet with President Jacobi. Though they plan to discuss a new trade proposal,  the President says that a heightened cooperative security measure will be on their agenda as well in light of the recent Freeport 7 tragedy. The admiral s flagship, the RNC Donau, will arrive in Manhattan today under heavy guard.
15005    Jacobi Hopeful about Meeting
15006    The President was candid today when asked about her upcoming meeting with Admiral Schultzky. She said that despite recently strained diplomatic ties, this is a positive gesture from Chancellor Niemann. Jacobi and Schultzky have met on several occasions before his formal diplomatic appointment, and she has previously described him as "a man of reason, committed to peace."
15007    Freeport 7 Public Reaction
15008    Citizens everywhere are still in shock at the news of Freeport 7's destruction. The station, operated by the Zoners, served as a neutral trading facility for all walks of life from around the galaxy. In the face of the catastrophic loss of life and the growing consensus that this was most likely a deliberate attack, people are struggling to grasp the motive behind this senseless act of violence.
15009    Market Holds Trades
15010    In Manhattan, the center of galactic trade, all orders were held for one minute in honor of those lost on Freeport 7. The market remains more sluggish than usual at this time. However, analysts expect a full recovery.
15011    Liberty Mediates BW Talks
15012    Negotiations slowed to a crawl yesterday as delegates from Kusari and Rheinland heatedly debated acquisitions in the Border Worlds. Kusari had proposed a "full disclosure" initiative, which was protested and then effectively blocked by Rheinland. Recent territorial disputes in the Border Worlds, largely driven by the discovery of a wealth of new resources and Artifacts, have sparked these talks between the colonies, with Liberty acting as mediator. However, with the delegates now polarized over this issue, it is unclear how effective these talks will be.
15013    Military to Investigate FP7
15014    Government sources say that because of The Order's potential involvement, President Jacobi has put the investigation of Freeport 7 into the hands of a special unit within the Liberty Military. This corps of investigators will be charged with securing the wreckage, gathering evidence, and coordinating with forensic teams in the solemn task of recovering and identifying human remains.
15015    Doctors Hold Off LSF Inquiry
15016    A group of Freeport 7 survivors, many of whom were critically injured, were taken to the Williams-Creek Medical Center for treatment. There they were triaged, and some underwent emergency, life-saving procedures. Agents of the LSF were also on hand to question those who could talk, but doctors insisted that they be allowed to recover before being subjected to the added stress. The LSF acquiesced but insisted that these patients be kept in a secure location within the medical center. Doctors have set aside Ward 13 for their convalescence.
15017    Schultzky Killed in Manhattan
15018    Rheinland Admiral Otto Schultzky has been assassinated by members of The Order! The President was visibly shaken when she heard that the ship carrying the Admiral was totally destroyed on its final approach to Newark Station. After extending her condolences to Rheinland, she ordered a full inquest, immediately charging the LSF to pursue The Order as its number one priority.
15019    Reaction to FP7 Investigation
15020    Other voices in Sirius have begun to question Liberty's move to place military forces in what has always been an apolitical, neutral zone. Some have said that this investigation should be an open, pan-colonial undertaking and that the stationing of military forces in Sigma-17 violates charter settlement agreements between the Houses and other factions. To assuage these concerns, President Jacobi spoke, insisting that the recent movement of The Order required immediate action. She also stated that our forces were there to prevent further contamination of the area and to execute a thorough investigation -- nothing more. Jacobi went on to stress that our formal presence at the Freeport 7 site would be exclusive and temporary, and that the sum of the findings would be shared with all affected government agencies.
15021    New York Crime Wave on the Rise?
15022    Are we at greater risk at home now more than ever? That's the question. When The Order penetrated our defenses to kill Otto Schultzky nearly on the very steps of the presidential palace, many of our illusions about our own security were affected. Add to this the destruction of Freeport 7 and the sharp increase of attacks by the Liberty Rogues in New York, and we begin to feel anxiety and uneasiness about our personal and economic security. The President and the LSF say that they are addressing these concerns, but without concrete results we are still left asking the questions, "Are these events related? And what can we do about The Order?"
15023    Niemann Blames Liberty for Death
15024    Chancellor Niemann of Rheinland spoke out bitterly today, citing lax security and blaming Liberty for the recent death of Admiral Schultzky during his visit. Niemann went on to say that he would personally punish those responsible, regardless of where they hide.
15025    FP7 Survivors to Talk
15026    Manhattan -- Doctors at the WCMC have given the go ahead for Special LSF investigators to interview many of the Freeport 7 survivors. Despite an earlier recommendation against this course of action, we are told that government pressures have motivated physicians to allow at least a conditional line of questioning of select patients. It is hoped that their eyewitness testimony will help to shed some light on who truly is responsible.
15027    Local Crime Ring Smashed
15028    Seemingly in answer to growing security concerns, LSF forces took action and delivered a crushing blow to Liberty Rogues operating secretly near Pittsburgh. Following up on details from an ongoing investigation, the well-hidden base was rooted out and surgically eliminated by agents who acted under tactical LSF authority. Aemon Bonnerille of the LSF promises that this is just the beginning, as he intends to "tighten the noose around the neck of organized crime."
15029    Local Prison Ship Rescued
15030    Just before LSF fighters closed in on a secret Rogue base near Pittsburgh, they were instrumental in fighting off a coordinated attack on a local prison ship. Prison Ship XT-19 is generally used as a staging area for prisoners being shuttled between processing stations and more permanent lockdowns in Texas. It was during such a transfer that the Rogues suddenly attacked and overran its defenses. Authorities believe that the Rogues were attempting to liberate a group of its own members being interrogated onboard. Fortunately, however, the LSF arrived just in time to repel the pirates and avert disaster. Though XT-19 sustained heavy damage, we are told that the ship was successfully towed to Baltimore Shipyard for repairs.
15031    Liberty Imposes Artifact Ban
15032    President Jacobi announced today that, based on the appearance of new, unstudied, and potentially dangerous classes of Artifacts in Liberty, she is temporarily suspending all Artifact trading, pending further investigation. Despite initial protests, she has assured trade union reps that they will be adequately compensated and that, once evaluated, regulated trading will resume. Authorities have asked all citizens to comply with this temporary precaution until more can be learned.
15033    Big Guns Stand Vigil at our Gates
15034    Responding to the public outcry on security issues, the government has now placed battleships at all Jump Gates on Liberty's borders. Though some citizens are comforted by Liberty's actions for better protection from both foreign attack and domestic smuggling and crime, others are concerned over the freedoms we might be sacrificing as we resort to potentially harsher military involvement to maintain security.
15035    Trouble in Zone 21?
15036    Civilian listening posts reported an unusual disturbance coming from Zone 21. Despite its exaggerated reputation among conspiracy buffs as an area for so-called "secret research," navy officials say that Zone 21 is only used for legitimate weapons testing and strategic training. They had no comment at this time about the disturbance.
15037    Evidence pointing to The Order
15038    The LSF today has said that between the material retrieved from the Freeport 7 site and the weight of survivor testimony, there is sufficient evidence to support allegations that The Order did in fact participate in the Freeport 7 attack. Though officials have yet to ascribe a motive to The Order's actions, or the exact weapons used, this new evidence has caused them to narrow their focus to establish an "operative presence" onboard the station prior to its destruction. They are now 100 percent confident that at least one Order member was on Freeport 7 hours before it was destroyed.
15039    Some FP7 Survivors Dead, Missing
15040    Doctors at the Williams-Creek Medical Center have reported several deaths in Ward 13, the sealed treatment facility for the survivors of Freeport 7. "These deaths are regrettable," they say, but not surprising due to their extensive injuries. However, we've also learned that at least one patient appears to be unaccounted for at this time. Though doctors and LSF officials refused to comment, we understand that hospital security is looking into the matter.
15041    FP7 Manifest Sought
15042    As investigators search the Freeport 7 wreckage for clues, the one missing piece of the puzzle appears to be the station's manifest. Once the manifest has been found and analyzed, authorities believe they will be able to accurately depict the final hours of the station right down to who was present on it, what ships were docked, and perhaps even how it might have been destroyed.
15043    Explosion in Zone 21 Was Attack
15044    After avoiding questions earlier, the Liberty Military has confirmed the sabotage of a Liberty cruiser in Zone 21. They also said that a coded transmission coming from within the cruiser just prior to its destruction was intercepted and deciphered. Based on the contents of the message, military authorities suspect operatives working for The Order. However, they do not know yet how saboteurs could have penetrated security to board the ship. The antimatter bomb that was detonated inside created a blast zone large enough to consume three cruisers and damage several nearby ships. There were no survivors in the suicide bombing, and the names of the ships and crewmen are being withheld at this time.
15045    Orillion Named as Order leader
15046    Today the President announced two contributions that advanced the exposure of The Order's leadership infrastructure: evidence provided by the LSF, and the decoded transmission from Zone 21. Jacobi says that there are repeated references to a single individual known only as "Orillion." LSF analysts believe this to be a codename.  The President says that now it is only a matter of time before The Order will be rooted out and brought to justice.
15047    Pueblo Station Nearly Destroyed
15048    Reports have come in that Pueblo Station was viciously attacked by a well-organized band of smugglers under the direction of the notorious Sean Ashcroft. Even though rescue vehicles, medics, and LSF reinforcements arrived at the scene, damage to the station was nearly total, and Pueblo suffered many casualties. Ashcroft, a known Artifact smuggler, was subsequently apprehended by LSF agents and is being held in an unnamed LSF facility for questioning.
15049    LSF Tightens Criminal Noose
15050    LSF Director Aemon Bonnerille announced that his organization is continuing to tighten its grasp on piracy, smuggling, and all other illegal activities. Though some minor detractors claim that the methods being used are a violation of rights, others are relieved that the government is finally taking a more active role in domestic security.
15051    Kusari - Rheinland Anxiety Grows
15052    Despite repeated attempts by the President to smooth relations, Chancellor Niemann of Rheinland continues to insist that Kusari is guilty of theft, espionage, and now even conspiracy with The Order. Kusari has flatly denied these allegations, calling the Chancellor's actions "slanderous," and accusing Rheinland of taking armed action against Kusari ships in the Border Worlds.
15053    Rheinland Station Attacked
15054    More trouble in Rheinland -- this time in the Hamburg system. Sources there report that a scientific research station was looted by marauders and left severely damaged. Investigators deny speculation that The Order might be involved, saying that evidence points instead to a small group of pirates allegedly backed by Kusari interests.
15055    Is Orillion Operating in Liberty?
15056    Sources say that there may be a relationship between organized crime and the movements of The Order. Moreover, there is a remote possibility that its leader, Orillion, may be operating within the confines of Liberty under criminal "protection." Though the LSF has officially downplayed this idea, they say that they are following up on every legitimate lead to expose Orillion, The Order, and whatever ties they may have.
15057    Rogue Attack on Ft. Bush
15058    Reports of an unprovoked Rogue attack on Ft. Bush surfaced today. Witnesses say that the Liberty Rogues suddenly appeared and began to attack several ships and the large station. This kind of attack is historically very unusual for them, say analysts, but consistent with recent Rogue behavior. Though the pirates were repelled and there was only minor damage reported by the station, this does raise some concern for the ongoing security issues in Liberty right now.
15059    Radicals Commit Suicide
15060    The Liberty Military reports that several subversives and radical sympathizers of The Order have recently committed suicide rather than face arrest. Although the names of these suspects are being withheld at this time, authorities say that they are still part of an ongoing investigation.
15061    LSF Conducts Internal Meetings
15062    With Liberty's security in the balance, Aemon Bonnerille said that the LSF was developing a new internal plan for dealing with security issues. Though he declined to share the details of his new initiative, he has scheduled meetings with all key LSF control personnel.
15063    Kusari, Rheinland Square off
15064    Shogun Edo of Kusari is said to have taken great umbrage towards recent remarks made by Chancellor Niemann. Edo bitterly dismissed the accusations of conspiracy and espionage, accusing the Chancellor of clouding the issues of his illegal operations in the Border Worlds and his infringement of the Boorman Treaty, which forbids armed aggression between the major Houses.
15065    Orillion Death Yields Few Answers
15066    Aemon Bonnerille, Director of the LSF, said, "I hope that with the death of Orillion, information about The Order's operations in Liberty and elsewhere will be quickly discovered." However, with more questions than answers right now, some people feel that the only man who could have shed light on Freeport 7 and other criminal acts was silenced by the LSF.
15067    Rheinland Foreign Minister Dead
15068    Karl Ettinger, Foreign Minister of Rheinland, was reportedly killed in a bomb blast earlier today. Ettinger was en route to inspect the remains of the Hamburg Station when a fusion bomb, apparently hidden in one of his attending ships, detonated, killing everyone. Rheinland authorities say they are investigating the site of the incident, but since the destruction was so utterly complete, they have little to go on at this time.
15069    Rheinland ships in Liberty?
15070    Rheinland Military ships allegedly entered Liberty space today and opened fire without warning. The President immediately contacted Chancellor Niemann, who denied that there were any official military units in the area. Military officials had no immediate comment but said that the incident is under investigation.
15071    Rheinland Allegations
15072    Chancellor Niemann is said to have spoken directly with both President Jacobi and Queen Carina of Bretonia about the allegations he has raised against Kusari. Niemann has accused Kusari of backing The Order in its attacks against Rheinland and Liberty, and has now added the assassination of Karl Ettinger to his list of charges.
15073    Freeport 7 Manifest Found!
15074    The Freeport 7 data manifest has been found, according to the LSF. Agents finally discovered the sought-after module in a palette of wreckage reportedly salvaged by the Junkers. The data manifest, we are told, was acquired and immediately taken to the LSF labs for analysis. Based on the extracted data, investigators are certain that Orillion was indeed on Freeport 7 just prior to its destruction.
15075    Rheinland Fortifies KU Border
15076    There is what can only be described as a Rheinland Military buildup on their side of the shared border with Kusari. Chancellor Niemann says he will defend Rheinland against any more Kusari-based incursions even if it means taking matters into his own hands. Kusari, denying any wrongdoing, has deployed ships as well and adopted a defensive stance of its own in response to this action.
15077    Liberty, Bretonia Propose Summit
15078    Recent action on the Rheinland/Kusari border has caused other colonies great concern. In answer to this, President Jacobi and Lord Quigley of Bretonia have jointly proposed an emergency summit meeting to bring about a peaceful settlement. Lord Quigley, who has had a long career in successful diplomatic negotiations, is said to be acting under the direct wishes of his cousin, Queen Carina. There is no word yet on the Chancellor's response to this proposal.
15079    Manifest Exposes Orillion
15080    Based on its most current evidence and testimony, the LSF believes that Orillion, a.k.a. Sam Lonnigan, came to Freeport 7 to steal several large shipments of unusually expensive goods and Artifacts that were in its bays. Once his agents took control of the shipments and presumably eliminated its rightful owners, it is believed that he ordered the ships to take off and to destroy the station to cover their tracks. Lonnigan was likely to have been the last to leave. However, for whatever reason, he was caught in his own trap and was injured in the blast. Lonnigan was brought to Liberty by rescue ship and was admitted to the WCMC. Local Order operatives liberated him from Ward 13, and after his quick recovery, they implemented a wave of terror using Manhattan as a new base of operations. The LSF now says that it has all it needs to identify Lonnigan's accomplices, who may still be at large.
15081    Boorman Treaty Violated?
15082    Shogun Edo now insists that Rheinland's continued military actions show them to be in complete violation of the Boorman Treaty. Edo's tone was almost accusatory in itself, as he asked why Liberty refused to help the Kusari people. The President, in fact, did speak to both powers today, asking them to reduce the buildup at their borders and to present their respective issues at the proposed summit meeting.
15083    Curacao Summit is Now Set
15084    With Rheinland finally agreeing to attend, the summit meeting is now moving forward. Delegates, including our own Secretary Ballenshine representing Liberty, are to attend the meeting on Curacao sometime in the coming week.
15085    Ballenshine Pronounced Dead
15086    Liberty Secretary James Ballenshine collapsed today and was evacuated to a government medical unit, where he was pronounced dead of natural causes. President Jacobi said that his sudden passing will not diminish Liberty's commitment to peace and stability in the colonies. She will now be attending the summit meeting on Curacao in his place.
15087    Rheinland Blockade in Omega
15088    In an unprovoked move, Rheinland has imposed blockades on Jump Gates in Omega-7. Officials have called this "an outrageous breach of trust and protocol that we cannot stand for." Queen Carina and her cabinet have called for the Chancellor to immediately withdraw his forces, now impinging on Bretonian interests in that area. "Though we have been tolerant thus far," the Queen said, "this hostile act casts a dark shadow on our relationship and will be met with equal force if need be."
15089    Lord Quigley Gunned Down
15090    We are stunned by the news that Lord Arnold Benson Quigley, Foreign Minister to the Crown of Bretonia, has been found brutally murdered in his home. The Queen was informed and has firmly charged investigators to find those responsible. This is a duty, we are assured, they have solemnly accepted. Thus far there are no official suspects. However, an off-the-record source did say that they are not ruling out the work of The Order, who may be trying to derail the frail peace process in Sirius.
15091    Shots Fired on Bretonian Soil
15092    Conflict broke out in Omega today as Rheinland ships, becoming ever bolder, opened fire on a nearby Bretonian patrol in the area. The Chancellor has said that the Rheinland blockade is only looking after Rheinland's interests in the area and claimed that they were provoked by Bretonian fighters. As tempers flair and peace hangs in the balance, Queen Carina contemplates her next move with her advisors.
15093    Are There Changes in Rheinland?
15094    News from the Foreign Office indicates that things may be heating up in Rheinland. Reports from the inside say that Rheinland citizens are being stirred up against Kusari by what are being described as "agitator groups."  Meanwhile, the Chancellor has just announced that the military is now activating its reserve fighters to bolster homeland defense. Royal analysts have reported this information to the Queen and have advised her that Rheinland may be preparing for war.
15095    Who Killed Lord Quigley?
15096    As national mourning continues for Lord Quigley, so does the manhunt for those responsible for his murder. Authorities, still tight-lipped about their investigation, have recently ruled out the involvement of many domestic suspects. This only further fuels local speculation that The Order may be directly responsible for Quigley's death. However, we are told that this might not necessarily be the case. Based on new evidence, investigators are examining a host of foreign leads in an effort to find Quigley's killers before they can act again.
15097    Queen to Attend Summit
15098    Despite Rheinland's recent aggressive stance and the assassination of Lord Quigley, the Curacao summit meeting is still set to proceed. In a surprise move, Queen Carina will now join President Jacobi and other representatives at the table, taking her cousin's place.
15099    Disappearances Trouble HO
15100    Today in the Home Office, a report stated that missing persons cases are at their highest in years. Compared to other population centers in the galaxy, Bretonia has often been considered one of the more peaceful, and so these numbers are thought to be erroneous. The Home Office has asked for a recount and more information before it officially publishes its statistics.
15101    Ballenshine Was Murdered
15102    Despite Liberty's official statement that James Ballenshine died of "natural causes," several entries in his sealed autopsy report detail certain anomalies. In information leaked to our press, it was noted that for a man who reportedly died of a heart attack, Mr. Ballenshine was in fact missing his heart altogether, as well as his eyes and his brain. These gruesome details were apparently omitted from Liberty's records. However, they now indicate that Mr. Ballenshine was just another unfortunate victim in a wave of recent high-profile murders.
15103    Contact Lost with Remote Team
15104    Communication was lost today with a Cambridge University-sponsored archeological dig in the Border Worlds. University officials showed some concern, but in the absence of an emergency broadcast, they believe that the older communication equipment at the site must have failed. A repair crew will be dispatched to repair the problem.
15105    Shooting at Curacao, Queen Safe
15106    In breaking news, shots rang out at the summit meeting on Curacao, leaving one security officer dead. Fortunately, the delegates were safely evacuated, and the lone gunman was taken alive before further lives were lost. Authorities believe that his intended target was Gunther Obst, the Rheinland representative. Though the assassin s identity has not been released, authorities have confirmed his ties to The Order. The Queen was unharmed in this altercation and remains under tight security.
15107    Rheinland Defectors?
15108    Reportedly, two individuals claiming to have information about the radical and sudden changes inside the Rheinland political machine have approached Bretonian authorities here at home. Requesting asylum and political protection, these people, whose names have been withheld, claim to have barely escaped a Rheinland death squad. As farfetched as it may sound, it seems our government has taken these individuals very seriously. They are currently being held in a secure location and have been granted an audience with the Home Secretary.
15109    Rheinland Leaves Negotiations
15110    The summit on Curacao was brought back into session only to have it halt abruptly as Gunther Obst from Rheinland refused to re-enter the grand hall. Instead, Obst went into a closed-door, coded meeting with Chancellor Niemann, where he still remains.
15111    Summit Ends in Conflict
15112    Chancellor Niemann spoke today, insisting on the immediate departure of Gunther Obst from the Curacao summit and dispatching several wings of fighters to escort him home. The Chancellor repeated earlier accusations against Kusari and all but accused Liberty of participating in a conspiracy to weaken Rheinland. He then declared Rheinland borders closed to all Kusari citizens traveling in or out.
15113    More Violence in Omega
15114    Rheinland forces again lashed out against Bretonian patrols. This time our ships fired back, crippling several Rheinland vessels. Chancellor Niemann decried the altercation as an act of hostility against the Rheinland state.
15115    Curacao Delegates Return Home
15116    In light of recent events, all remaining delegates of the Curacao summit have been recalled to their respective Houses. The Queen reaffirmed her support for the summit proceedings, hoping that when it resumes, it will act as an instrument to reestablish better understanding and a lasting peace.
15117    Assassin Commits Suicide
15118    DNA samples taken from the would-be "Order assassin" match those of a Bretonian man reported missing in the Border Worlds five months ago. Hollings O'Keefe, who was apprehended after he opened fire on the Curacao delegates, apparently died from a Cardamine overdose in his cell. O'Keefe, who had no criminal record before this incident, leaves a legacy of questions, since he died before authorities could learn any details about his disappearance or his subsequent connection to The Order.
15119    Kusari Citizens Arrested
15120    Reports indicate that soon after the Chancellor s recent address, many Kusari citizens in Rheinland were placed under arrest "for their own safety." Shogun Edo of Kusari was reportedly outraged at this news and demanded their immediate release. There has been no response yet from the Chancellor on this matter, but Queen Carina is also appealing for their release.
15121    Surge in Local Artifact Sales
15122    Local Artifact dealers report a marked increase in Artifact sales in recent weeks. Some of this, they say, can be attributed directly to Liberty's imposed ban on their trade. However, they have also noticed an unusual number of foreign buyers, particularly from Rheinland. Sales topped at a record high again this week.
15123    Jacobi Addresses Rheinland
15124    President Jacobi responded to Rheinland s recent closure of its borders with stateswoman-like aplomb. In her address she asked Chancellor Niemann to reconsider this decision, to cease all hostile activities, and to release all Kusari citizens who are being held against their will. There has been no reaction yet from Rheinland.
15125    Kusari Convoy Attacked
15126    A Kusari convoy near the Kusari/Rheinland border fell to a Rheinland attack wing earlier, eliciting a blistering rebuke from Shogun Edo. The ships, which were on the Kusari side of the border, are said to have been carrying Food and medical supplies to one of Kusari's outposts when the attack occurred.
15127    Carina Decries Actions
15128    Queen Carina spoke out against the recent attack of a Kusari medical convoy. In her statement she appealed to Chancellor Niemann to end his aggression with Kusari and to work with the other colonies to find a more peaceful solution to their differences.
15129    Niemann Defends Actions
15130    Chancellor Niemann finally addressed the issue of Rheinland's recent attack of a Kusari medical convoy. In his statement he said that the Kusari convoy was operating under direct orders from the Kusari government to implant a "weapon of mass destruction" near an unspecified target in Rheinland space. Therefore, he said, this defensive attack was deemed necessary to preserve Rheinland lives.
15131    Edo Denies Allegations
15132    Shogun Edo dismissed the Chancellor's statement that one of Kusari's own medical convoys was being used to transport an explosive device into Rheinland territory. He warned Niemann that he could not allow this "wanton slaughter" to continue and insisted that Rheinland release the Kusari citizens that they were holding hostage.
15133    Device found in Convoy Wreck
15134    Rheinland officials have presented evidence in support of their claims that the Kusari medical convoy, recently destroyed by Rheinland ships, was actually on a covert "seek and destroy mission." In their analysis they discovered that a device, based on a fusion-bomb design, had been cleverly modified using Kusari components to be even more thorough in its destructive power. Meanwhile, Kusari officials demanded to inspect this so-called evidence, denouncing it as a feeble attempt by Rheinland to justify its war-like actions.
15135    Edo Asks for Support
15136    Kusari has appealed to the governments of Liberty and Bretonia in their dealings with Rheinland. Shogun Edo says that his principal concern is the welfare of his people still within Rheinland's borders. He said that he is receiving enormous pressure to act militarily, but is still seeking a peaceful resolution.
15151    Rheinland Military Buildup
15152    In breaking news, large numbers of military ships have been reported on the move in Rheinland and have taken up position along the remainder of their borders. The Queen has taken issue with this action and is being kept apprised of things as they unfold. Despite the atmosphere of apprehension, commercial and civilian traffic on our side of the Gates continues.
15153    Travel Advisory for Bretonians
15154    Eyewitnesses in the Border Worlds say that Rheinland forces have intensified their presence and activities there, largely targeting the pirate population. In light of recent events, the Foreign Office has issued an advisory to all Bretonian subjects to use extreme caution when traveling outside of our systems.
15155    Jacobi Warns Rheinland
15156    In response to the arrival of more heavy-class Rheinland ships at Liberty s border, President Jacobi has called for the Chancellor to immediately pull his forces back. Jacobi has also deployed her own defensive units and has warned the Chancellor not to enter Liberty space.
15157    Market Falters Amid Uncertainty
15158    Merchants at home and abroad are beginning to feel the economic hardships of our current political situation. With rising domestic strife and increased foreign threats, spending and trade have decreased in many areas, leaving us in something of a slump. Royal analysts say they are studying the problem and plan to offer a list of recommendations by week's end.
15159    Jacobi Proposes Meeting
15160    In a formal address, President Jacobi said that matters with Rheinland had progressed to a level that she felt required more direct methods. She asked for representatives from Kusari and Bretonia to meet with her on Manhattan to discuss an initiative that she believes will defuse the situation with Rheinland while also allowing for the safe return of Kusari citizens.
15161    Kusari Citizens Still Held Hostage
15162    There is still no news on the fate of thousands of Kusari citizens being held captive by the Rheinland government. Though the Shogun has been successful in persuading Liberty and Bretonia to apply additional economic and political pressure on the Chancellor, the Shogun is also considering more direct military action.
15163    Tekagi Meets with Shogun Edo
15164    Governor Tekagi briefly met today with Shogun Edo to discuss the Rheinland conflict and Liberty s proposed meeting. After the short, private discussion, the Governor said that he has been ordered to Liberty to   organize the release of our people through our allies." Tekagi will leave at once to meet with President Jacobi.
15165    Liberty to Receive Tekagi
15166    Amid assurances of heightened security, President Jacobi prepares to receive our Governor Tekagi in the Presidential residence at an undisclosed time. Tensions remain high around Kusari, but the Governor says he is cautiously optimistic, particularly because Queen Carina of Bretonia will also be in attendance.
15167    Some Citizens Moved to Bremen
15168    We have just received word that many lawful Kusari citizens, wrongfully accused of espionage, have been rounded up and sent to a makeshift detention facility in Bremen. Officials are looking into this disturbing report.
15169    Tekagi Arrives in Liberty
15170    Governor Tekagi arrived in Manhattan today under well-armed escort. There he met with President Jacobi and Queen Carina, of Bretonia, in the hopes of establishing a joint resolution aimed at pressuring Rheinland to release its hostages and negotiate a peaceful settlement.
15171    Increased Tensions in Kusari
15172    Patrols have been increased around the Rheinland border in answer to the Chancellor s recent actions. However, several civilian ships have reported unusual conditions around the area, including "radar ghosting" and other false readings. Some have speculated that Rheinland is attempting to jam early warning systems, but local officials dismiss these reports as the result of instrument malfunctions.
15173    Ban on Artifacts to Spread?
15174    Today Liberty unveiled what some have seen as an ulterior motive to negotiations on Manhattan: a potential ban on Artifacts throughout the colonies. Local Artifact dealers reacted negatively, particularly when learning that this ban would be administered by a separate, though still Liberty-run, agency.
15175    Speculation on Artifact Ban
15176    Authorities say that the President wants to extend the Liberty Artifact ban to the other colonies to better control the black market. Meanwhile, it appears that the Artifact market has shown signs of slowing slightly, thanks in part to Liberty s resolutions and political lobbying. Sources inside Liberty say that shipment after shipment of confiscated Artifacts appear to be going into Zone 21 under military watch.
15177    Niemann Requests Tekagi
15178    Governor Tekagi s mission in Liberty has reportedly gone well, yielding a series of directives for Rheinland. Interestingly though, once these directives were transmitted, word came back that the Chancellor would not accept them unless they were personally hand delivered by the Governor. Despite being advised otherwise, Governor Tekagi has agreed to go.
15179    Amended Artifact Ban Signed
15180    Governor Tekagi left Manhattan, but not before endorsing an amended version of the controversial, joint ban on Artifact trading proposed by Liberty. After spending several hours in a secure-link conference with the Shogun, the two agreed to the ban in concept, but only as a temporary measure, and specifically as a means to better lawfully regulate the trade coming out of the Rheinland Border Worlds.
15181    Artifact Ban Limits Liberty
15182    As we learn more about the recent Artifact ban, we understand that this agreement also now limits Liberty's access to the temporarily impounded Artifacts and now allows for the individual House to retain them within their own borders. This was good news to many merchants, as was the generous government subsidy. Meanwhile, Governor Tekagi heads back to Kusari briefly and then on to New Berlin.
15183    Carina Signs Artifact Ban
15184    On the heels of Governor Tekagi s departure, Bretonia formalized its agreement with Liberty and Kusari by also signing the Artifact ban. It is hoped that this initiative will continue to put pressure on Rheinland and put much needed government credits into the pockets of local merchants.
15185    Search for Kusari Transport
15186    The arrival of a special transport and her escorts from the Border Worlds is reportedly long overdue. Several patrols have been dispatched along the intended route, and though hopes of a rescue are high, there has been no discovery of wreckage. The disappearance of the single vessel, carrying a cargo of new Artifacts bound for a museum in Kusari, is ironic since it falls on the cusp of the signing of the colony-wide Artifact ban.
15187    Tekagi Departs for Rheinland
15188    Concern is high for the Governor's safety as he journeys to meet with Chancellor Niemann over the issue of the illegal detention of our people. President Jacobi says that she has confidence that a settlement will be reached with Rheinland, cautioning that any action taken against the visiting Governor would be met with swift retaliation from both Liberty and Bretonia.
15189    Special Guard Escorts Tekagi
15190    Governor Tekagi is meeting with Chancellor Niemann under the protection of the Shogun s own Imperial Guard, who accompanied him through the blockade and to the Rheinland capitol of New Berlin. The Governor was greeted with unusual warmth by the Rheinland Chancellor, who was himself surrounded by his own well-armed bodyguards. The two reportedly are going to meet privately to discuss the peace settlement and the safe release of the Kusari hostages. Today, all eyes are on Rheinland.
15191    Tekagi Returns in Triumph
15192    Governor Tekagi returned home after an extended meeting with Chancellor Niemann on New Berlin. While the fatigue of the journey appears to have taken its toll on the usually animated Governor, the meeting itself was reportedly a success. As a goodwill gesture, the Governor returned with 150 Kusari citizens who had been held hostage in Rheinland. The rest, we are told, will be returned in stages.
15193    Hostages Being Debriefed
15194    Governor Tekagi met privately with Shogun Edo immediately upon his return from New Berlin. There is no formal word yet from this meeting. Meanwhile, Intelligence officials have reportedly begun the process of debriefing the recently returned hostages. It is hoped that they will be reunited with their families and co-workers in the very near future.
15195    Kusari Transport Lost
15196    With no clues to its disappearance, officials have classified the transport that recently failed to report in from the Border Worlds as lost. The ships and crew names are being withheld until the families can be notified.
15197    Tekagi Exhausted from Trip
15198    After his return from Rheinland, Governor Tekagi is said to have refused food and sleep and might be ill. Though there is some speculation that he might have been exposed to something on the journey to or from Rheinland, sources close to the Governor say that he needs to rest.
15199    Chancellor wants Peace
15200    Advance word from the Shogun and Governor Tekagi is that Chancellor Niemann is willing to follow all of the directives outlined by Kusari, Liberty, and Bretonia if he is allowed more rights to territories in the Border Worlds. This is being considered by the Shogun, who has called a meeting with several of his top generals to review security concerns.
15201    Blood Dragons on the Move?
15202    Local authorities have reported that the Blood Dragons may be on the move again. Informants and intercepted communications alerted them to this possibility. However, there is no concrete evidence to support this assumption. The Shogunate has said that the Blood Dragons do not represent a significant threat to our security at this time.
15203    RHEINLAND ATTACKS!
15204    Even as Shogun Edo considered Chancellor Niemann's peace proposal and tensions along the Rheinland border appeared to ease, several Rheinland heavy cruisers and ships suddenly attacked Kusari forces, destroying at least one ship and killing over 100 soldiers. As a result of this unprovoked act, Shogun Edo has declared an open state of hostility with Rheinland -- a precursor to war.
15205    Kusari Border Fortified
15206    With the escape of the attacking Rheinland ships back over the border, the Shogun has ordered immediate reinforcements to prevent any further assaults as offensive forces begin to mass. The Shogunate cautions that all ships passing through Kusari space are now subject to search and seizure. Travel outside of Kusari-controlled zones is not advised at this time for citizens.
15207    Liberty s Bonnerille Dead?
15208    Word has surfaced here that Aemon Bonnerille, Director of the LSF, is missing and feared dead. There is no further information available at this time.
15209    RHEINLAND ATTACKS LIBERTY!
15210    In what has been described as an "intolerable act of open aggression," warships from Rheinland attacked targets deep within the New York system today. Shortly thereafter, President Jacobi announced that she now had no choice but to declare war on Rheinland. Though she declined to answer specific questions, she did confirm that some Liberty military interests may have been affected by the attacks.
15211    Zone 21 Target of Attack
15212    Intelligence sources have confirmed that the Rheinland attack on Liberty centered around a military installation deep within the restricted area of Zone 21 in the New York system. In response, Liberty deployed a significant defensive perimeter around New York, including many heavy military vessels that are patrolling the perimeter of Zone 21.
15213    Bretonia Remains Vigilant
15214    Bretonian news feeds are reporting that the government is preparing for any movement against them by Rheinland forces, but as of yet, no attacks have occurred. However, tensions are mounting as several thousand anti-war demonstrators protest outside the Queen's estate. No one was seriously hurt when riot police finally dispersed the demonstration.
15215    Missing Ship s Last Message
15216    Sources say an Artifact-laden Bretonian ship, reported lost, was apparently attacked somewhere near Leeds. Bretonian investigators have reportedly discovered a weak transmission fragment that is believed to be the ship's last message. What appears to disturb authorities the most about this fragment is the mention of  unmarked ships  that had come into range just prior to losing contact. As Bretonia continues to investigate, speculation here at home rises over recent ship disappearances.
15217    TEKAGI MURDERED!
15218    The Kusari people are in mourning today for one of the few great men of our time: Governor Yoshinobu Tekagi. Upon hearing of his murder by armed assassins, Shogun Edo was enraged and shouted for vengeance. An Imperial taskforce has been called in to investigate what is left of the Governor's retreat.
15219    Tekagi Investigation
15220    As investigators speculate on the identity of the killers who took the life of the greatly beloved Governor Tekagi, they say that there is no concrete evidence to support The Order in the list of suspects. Despite suggestions that operatives from the Blood Dragons or even a Rheinland strike force may have played a role, Shogun Edo insists that The Order must be to blame.
15221    Bonnerille Alive and Well
15222    Director Aemon Bonnerille of the Liberty Security Force, who was previously thought to be missing, resurfaced today. In a press conference he said that rumors of his disappearance were simply that -- rumors. He blamed an irresponsible media for the controversy and confirmed that he had been sequestered in a secure location following a possible threat to his personal security.
15223    Dissension in Liberty?
15224    Unconfirmed reports state that several high-ranking admirals and government officials have started to criticize President Jacobi's recent actions. There is even a rumor of some calling for her impeachment.
15225    Kusari Prepares for Invasion!
15226    Before being destroyed, probes from the Ministry of Strategic Information revealed that the Kusari government has been assembling a massive attack force behind the Honshu Jump Gate, a clear precursor to invasion. The Chancellor himself urged his people to remain united, and he pledged to seek out our enemies wherever they may be hiding. So let us support the Chancellor to assure a peaceful and united Rheinland.
15227    A Word of Truth
15228    The Ministry of Truth wishes to remind Rheinland citizens that all of the news and information coming through the official channels is personally viewed by our Chancellor. If he watches, shouldn t you?
15229    Jacobi a Traitor?
15230    Sources inside the Chancellor's office indicate that the power-hungry President of Liberty has severed all diplomatic ties with Rheinland -- obviously in preparation for war. However, political unrest troubles her own government, as several high-ranking officers have publicly expressed their feelings that the President is working against the best interests of her people. Some allege that she could be guilty of corruption, possibly even treason.
15231    Liberty Suppresses Media!
15232    Elsewhere in the colonies, news of the Liberty President s political troubles has been utterly suppressed by the "iron fist of the Liberty media machine." We are grateful to the Chancellor and the Ministry of Truth for their tireless commitment to the freedom of information that we enjoy here in Rheinland.
15233    Heroic Chancellor Stands Firm
15234    In the latest threat from Liberty, President Jacobi has issued an ultimatum to our beloved Chancellor stating that we will be invaded unless we immediately disarm. The Chancellor defiantly declared that he will never let Kusari sap our vitality nor capitulate to Liberty s bullying and self-serving tactics.
15235    Bretonia Still an Ally
15236    As Liberty continues to support the Kusari-backed criminals, guilty of terrorist activities against the sovereign state of Rheinland, and as Jacobi amasses her own invasion force, Bretonia appears to have come to her senses. The Chancellor, a long-time ally, is reportedly now reaching out to Queen Carina for her support in standing against Liberty s empty threats.
15237    Jacobi Found Guilty
15238    The chief conspirator herself, President Barbara Jacobi, appears to be losing control, as pressure is being applied by the Liberty Navy and other leaders who want to remove her from office. Recent information shows that she may be guilty of treason and conspiracy with The Order. Perhaps it is time for the military to take control and initiate formal charges in the name of peace.
15239    TO VICTORY!
15240    With our destiny before us, we march on. The Chancellor has struck the first blow for the Rheinland state by crossing into Honshu and engaging the Kusari enemy. With our loyal support, our Chancellor will guide us to victory.
15241    WAR!!!
15242    IT S WAR! Rheinland ships penetrated the Honshu defensive perimeter and are now in Kusari space. Our military forces have rallied, led by the Shogun and his Generals, and are successfully defending our cities. Soldiers, police, civilians, and even the unlawful have gathered together to fight the Rheinland invaders.
15243    Rheinland Crushes Criminals
15244    Today Rheinland peacekeepers met resistance from a weak and poorly organized criminal group. They were immediately neutralized and disarmed, and the survivors were captured for re-education and rehabilitation. Praise to the Chancellor for his mercy!
15245    Liberty President Missing
15246    Liberty feeds are buzzing with news that President Jacobi may be missing. Local LPI and LSF authorities were called to her residence where a violent struggle appears to have occurred shortly before dawn. Despite concerns that The Order may be involved, LSF Director Aemon Bonnerille says that he will do everything in his power to find the President.
15247    Coup in Liberty Reported
15248    Officials inside the Ministry of Truth say that there is every reason to believe that President Jacobi has fallen victim to a coup. The military leadership that is acting in her absence has full control of the government and is considering action against Kusari.
15249    Shogun's Reaction
15250    In a carefully worded statement, the Shogun voiced his concerns that even "temporary military leadership" in Liberty might signal rough changes for Kusari. Reports indicate that several military leaders have echoed what could be construed as pro-Rheinland sympathies, which could shift the balance of power in the already tense conflict.
15251    President Jacobi Dead?
15252    President Jacobi of Liberty is missing and presumed dead. Calling it a "national emergency," forces of the Liberty Navy have stepped in and taken control of all vital government and communication centers. Admiral Bill Baldwin has assumed leadership and established a temporary military government to oversee Liberty's bureaucracy. No official statements have been issued at this time. However, we will keep you up to date as this story unfolds.
15253    Rheinland Rebels Take Out Base
15254    In a brief statement to Kusari news agencies, the Bundschuh rebels in Rheinland claim that they have assaulted and destroyed a high-security installation that housed illegal secret weapons built by the Chancellery. Naturally this cannot be verified as of yet. However, a long-range scan does show a sizeable amount of irregular debris and radiation in that area.
15255    Kusari Fleet Destroyed
15256    In what has been described as the largest battle ever fought in the colonies, a massive Rheinland attack force completely destroyed the Kusari Fleet stationed in the Honshu system. Led by a group of over 40 Rheinland battleships, the Chancellor's onslaught on Kusari seems unstoppable. The Shogun has mobilized all reserves, and the Kusari Naval Forces are now desperately attempting to establish a defensive ring around New Tokyo.
15257    Explosions in New York
15258    Incoming reports state that several large explosions have occurred near Zone 21. Although an official statement has yet to be issued by Admiral Baldwin's new government, conflicting Intelligence reports have Kusari officials openly speculating that Liberty may be in the grip of an internal power struggle. Meanwhile in related news, there is still no word regarding President Jacobi's whereabouts or status.
15259    Renegade Killed
15260    In one of the very few official statements so far from the Baldwin regime, the Liberty Navy reports that the dangerous renegade Marcus Walker has finally been killed. Walker, previously a navy Captain and leader of the former Liberty Attack Group South, had turned traitor and openly fought against the Liberty government for some time with his crew. According to the brief report, Walker's cruiser was destroyed while he attempted to sabotage a naval installation at the southern edge of the New York system in Zone 21.
15261    Rheinland Takes New Tokyo
15262    The decisive battle in the war between Rheinland and Kusari ended in the total destruction of the Kusari Naval Forces near New Tokyo. Rheinland has erected a blockade around the planet and has made clear that only an unconditional surrender from the Shogun can prevent a devastating planetary bombardment.
15263    Colonies Rebuild, Chancellor MIA
15264    It's been nearly two weeks since hostilities between Rheinland and the other Houses came to an abrupt end, and peace has settled over the colonies. Despite many lingering questions, government officials remain tight-lipped about what has triggered this sudden change. President Jacobi pardoned the leaders of the military coup against her, who are all recovering from what has been officially called "encephalitic viral infections." Insiders speculate that these infections may be linked to recently discovered evidence of a bizarre mind-control plan initiated by the Chancellor to bring down the major Houses. \nMeanwhile, the Chancellor and several of his staff are still missing at this time and together face a long list of charges.  Newly appointed government officials in Rheinland are now looking into recent events and are said to be enlisting even Liberty's help in their investigation. \nIn other news, LSF Commander Jun'ko Zane and freelancer, Edison Trent, both former enemies of the state, have been granted full pardons and have received the Lone Star for bravery, the highest decoration any individual in the colonies can receive. Though the details of their heroism have been sealed by executive order, they were honored today in a ceremony by President Jacobi, who said, "I, Liberty and the rest of the colonies owe you both a debt of gratitude. It is through your efforts, and people like you, that Sirius will embrace the future.  We salute you." \n

23802    ASSAULT THE EXPERIMENTAL SHIPYARD
23805    OBJECTIVE:\nLord Hakkera s key informant in Rheinland, Herr Von Claussen, has vital information about the Nomads. It is imperative to extract the informant alive. Fly to New Berlin, find Von Claussen and bring him back to Kusari space.\n\nDIFFICULTY:\nRheinland has declared war on Kusari and the Nomads now have complete control over the Rheinland Military. It will be difficult for anyone to get into the heart of Rheinland territory, but it likely will be harder to get out with a wanted spy on board.\n\nREWARD:\nThe survival of mankind in the colonies.
23806    OBJECTIVE:\nHerr Von Claussen's contacts have located a secret experimental shipyard located west of Bruchsal Base.  Rheinland's mobilization for war against Kusari has afforded us a rare opportunity.  Form up with Herr Von Claussen and await further instructions.\n\nDIFFICULTY:\nEven with their forces spread thin, the installation will still be heavily guarded by both passive and active defenses.  Herr Von Claussen's extensive intelligence networks have been unable to retrieve tactical data on the area.  No matter what, that installation must fall.\n\nREWARD:\nTime is running short for the colonies.  This action will hopefully buy them the time they need.

30000    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nI still can't quite believe it. Lonnigan and I had just signed the deal when the attack occurred. We barely made it out alive. From the time the alert started, we only had a few moments before the station blew up. Hundreds of people weren't so lucky. I actually had to carry Lonnigan to the life pod because a bulkhead collapsed during the attack and hit him in the head. He s been unconscious ever since. The medics assure me that he'll recover. I certainly hope so. We're currently on a rescue ship en route to Manhattan but things aren't looking so good. I lost my ship and my ore shipment blew up with the rest of the station. All I have left is 500 credits. That wouldn't even buy me a ticket back to Leeds on a waste disposal freighter.
30005    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nWell, after several days of travel, we finally arrived on Manhattan. It was about time, the rescue ship was everything but a pleasant experience. The other eight survivors simply wouldn't stop talking about what had happened on Freeport 7. Speculations were running wild, and just about everybody was accused at one point or another. Some were convinced Chancellor Niemann was behind the attack, and others accused Governor Tekagi. A Kruger rep assured me that Samura was the only possible group that had an interest in destroying Freeport 7. After a whole lot of useless debate, the majority seemed to agree in the end that The Order was behind it. Anyway, I have to say Manhattan is everything that Tobias made it out to be: a single giant city that covers almost the entire planet. They say that over 220 million people live here -- unbelievable. The medics just took Lonnigan to intensive care in Medical. They said it ll take a while until he s released. No matter how long it takes, I'll stay in Manhattan until he recovers. After all, we had signed the deal already. In the meantime, I should find a job. My 500 credits won't last long. Maybe there is someone in the bar who could give me a lead.
30010    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nNice, after all I ve been through. The bar here doesn t even carry a Sidewinder Fang. The bartender served me a Liberty Ale -- definitely the only one I ll ever drink -- but after talking for a while, he gave me something else, which was at least decent. He also pointed me to a Liberty Security Force officer who might have a job for me. Her name is Jun ko Zane. She s talking to some guy right now. I guess it's okay for me to interrupt and see if she has something for me.
30015    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nI talked to her. At first she seemed pretty annoyed that I interrupted her conversation, but after she heard that I was on Freeport, she was a lot nicer. Seems like I could be in luck! She s looking for a freelancer right now and said that she d be in the equipment room later. I also have to remember to call her Juni, not Jun ko. I ll definitely look her up -- it sounds promising.
30020    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nI took the job. Juni offered me an old surplus Starflier and a few thousand credits. The ship is old and doesn t have jump gate access, but it s better than nothing. As long as I m waiting for Lonnigan to recover, I don t mind hanging around in the New York system for a while. The mission itself seems easy enough: escort a convoy of Food and medical supplies from Ft. Bush to Pittsburgh. I don t really know where any of these places are, but she said the mission should be easy. I m supposed to hook up with the mission CO King in space above Manhattan. Juni said my ship will be moved to the launch pad. All I have to do is get ready and launch into space.
30025    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nI looked up Juni in the equipment room. She offered me an old and pretty crappy ship and a few thousand credits if I help escort a convoy of Food and medical supplies. Right now I m not really interested, but she said the offer would still stand if I come back later. She was certainly not pleased that I turned her down and told me that she's my best chance for getting a ship. She could well be right. We ll see.
30030    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nAm I some sort of magnet for catastrophes? First Freeport 7 is destroyed while I m on it, now I launch from one of the safest places in the colonies, the capitol of Liberty, and a visiting Rheinland dignitary gets killed. I m really starting to wonder. I know that I was looking for excitement and adventure when I left Leeds, but this has been a bit much lately. Anyway, King says that duty calls and that we have to rendezvous with the transports near Ft. Bush. He s uploaded the coordinates of the first Trade Lane to my Neural Net. I guess it s time to get going.
30035    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nEverything s good so far. King and I are in formation with the transport convoy. Everybody here is pretty shaken about the attack on Schultzky. To top it all off, it seems the mission is quite a bit more dangerous than Juni made it out to be. The captain of the USV Brandt says that several convoys have come under attack en route to Pittsburgh in the last weeks. Liberty Rogues are hiding in the debris field surrounding the planet and are attacking convoys to and from Pittsburgh. We have to be careful.
30040    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nThat was everything but easy! I think I ve been had! Turns out that this entire escort assignment to Pittsburgh was a covert operation by the LSF! The transport convoy was a ruse to draw the Liberty Rogues out of hiding. Well, that certainly worked -- we barely made it out alive! King wants to go out again to search for a suspected Rogue base somewhere in the debris field. I signed up for the deal. I certainly don t want to sit around on Pittsburgh. This has got to be one of the most desolate and sad places I ve ever seen. King also promised me that it would be worth it. He s waiting for me in space above Pittsburgh.
30045    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\n
30100    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nKing and I hooked up with LSF patrol Epsilon 2 near Pittsburgh and had just started our search pattern when prison ship XT-19 sent a mayday. We immediately changed course and found the prison ship badly damaged and under attack by Rogue fighters. Good thing that we were in the area or that prison ship almost certainly would have been history. Anyway, we managed to destroy the Rogue ships. Patrol Epsilon 2 is staying here to protect XT-19 in case more Rogues show up. King and I will continue the search for the hidden Rogue base. The search pattern is in our Neural Net, and King told me to take the lead.
30105    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nAfter we left the prison ship, King and I flew along the edge of the debris field heading toward our first search grid when we received another mayday, this time from the LSF fighter Beta 4. The ship was being chased out of the debris field by several pirate fighters. We managed to fight off the Rogues. Not a minute too early since Beta 4 was badly damaged. The pilot told the story of how his wing was destroyed in a nearby particle cloud. King believes that they had stumbled upon the hidden Rogue base. We have the coordinates, and King wants me to take the lead. This could get rough.
30110    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nWe did it! The Rogue base has been destroyed! Not to sound cocky, but we managed to hold off a small fleet of Rogue ships -- not to mention that we took out these vicious weapon platforms. King and I held them off until several LSF wings arrived and finished them off with torpedoes. Pretty impressive! Anyway, King has uploaded coordinates to Pittsburgh. It s time to head back.
30115    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nGreat! I risk my life for the LSF to take out this Rogue base here in New York and then King doesn t even make good on the drink he promised me. Nice partner. Well, at least he transferred the money. I can t wait to upgrade this ship, or as King likes to call it, this pile of junk. At the very least I want some better weapons. The Rogues weren t that tough, but if I run into some stronger opposition, I need some better firepower.
30120    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nJuni called in and told me that President Jacobi has ordered a full investigation into the assassination of Admiral Schultzky. Not surprisingly, it looks like The Order is behind it all. Juni said she d have more work for me soon. In the meantime, she wants me to spread my wings and take a few missions here in New York. No kidding given that my ship doesn t have jump gate access. I couldn t get out of this system even if I wanted to. Besides, I m definitely going to wait for Lonnigan to recover. I want my money, damn it! Anyway, King told me that there should be a Deep Space rep on Pittsburgh that has a mission for me. We ll see. Taking on small jobs like that should keep me busy until Juni calls me back.

30200    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nIt was about time! It s been a while since I heard from Juni, but she just called and asked me to meet her on Manhattan. It looks like she has another assignment for me. I wanted to return to Manhattan anyway to check up on Lonnigan.
30205    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nI made it back to Manhattan. No word yet from Lonnigan. I ve checked Medical, but nobody there seemed to know where he is. Nice bureaucracy! Anyway, I met Juni and King in the bar as planned and accepted their offer. It s an interesting assignment, and it actually pays well. The LSF is going after a smuggler -- a guy named Ashcroft, who is transporting illegal Alien Artifacts in and out of Liberty. Juni has information that Ashcroft is trying to move a shipment of Alien Artifacts through the Colorado Gate. King and I have to find the convoy and stop it before it can enter the New York system. The tricky part is that we are supposed to bring Ashcroft in alive. The LSF wants to interrogate him about Artifact trading in Liberty. President Jacobi has made it the top priority of the LSF to stop all Artifact trading -- legal and illegal -- and to seize every Artifact they can find. It s all a little bit strange, really. Usually these things are just collectables for people with way too much money. I don t think Jacobi has told the public the full story yet. The really good news about all this is that Juni has promised to give me the access codes to all Liberty Gates if we bring in Ashcroft.
30210    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nI flew to Manhattan and met with Juni and King just now. It was good to see both of them again, but I m not really up for the assignment. It involves hunting down some Artifact smuggler -- not really my cup of tea. Juni actually said that she would wait for me since she apparently really wants me on that mission. I guess I ll think about it.
30215    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nI ran into Lonnigan on the landing pad. He was in pretty bad shape. Apparently, he actually escaped from Medical -- no wonder I couldn t find him before. That head injury must have been worse than I thought. He was totally confused, talked about people that were after him, and said that he knew who destroyed Freeport 7. Something about ships that weren t there -- a bunch of gibberish. I seriously thought he had lost his mind when suddenly two Liberty guards appeared and shot him with a smart dart. I had to dive out of the way or that thing would have hit me. Anyway, Lonnigan went down and I was still on the ground when one of the guards hit me with a stun baton. Not a pleasant feeling -- it knocked me out in an instant. I have no idea how long I was out. Next thing I remember is Juni slapping me in the face. Looks like Lonnigan got himself into trouble with the local law. I m starting to have the feeling that I m never going to see my million credits. Oh, Tobias is going to have a field day. Looks like I m going to have to work for Juni a while longer. I certainly need the money. Anyway, King is waiting for me in space above Manhattan.
30220    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nWe made it to the Colorado system. In response to the attack on Schultzky, the navy has moved heavy battleships to all Jump Gates. I have to say -- pretty impressive. We re waiting for an update on the situation from Juni.
30225    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nJuni just called in. Looks like Ashcroft is coming directly our way. His convoy has entered the Colorado system and the LSF has set up a trap near Pueblo Station. King and I have to scan every ship that comes through the Trade Lane to make sure that none of Ashcroft's people get away.
30230    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nWell, we scanned all the ships that came through the Trade Lane as ordered. Unfortunately, we got the wrong guy! We found a ship transporting illegal Artifacts and when King ordered the ship to stand down, he attacked. We thought it was one of Ashcroft s men, but it turns out that we took down a guy named Cosmo Van Nostrom -- a real pain. Anyway, just as King started to read him his rights, Juni called. The trap that the LSF had set up near Pueblo failed. Seems that Ashcroft managed to break through the blockade. Contact with Pueblo is lost. Juni wants us to fly there a fast as possible.
30235    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nThat was close. Pueblo was under attack by at least half a dozen of Ashcroft s men. The station was burning and started to lose life support. They were lucky that we were so close. But even though Ashcroft got away, we might be in luck. The station managed to put a tracking device on one of Ashcroft s ships. We have a signal, and this time he won t get away.
30240    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nWe surprised Ashcroft while his people were unloading the Artifacts into smaller ships. It s a good thing that Juni sent us support, otherwise this could have been too much for us. We managed to destroy most of Ashcroft s fighters, but Ashcroft himself got away. He s activated his cruise engines, and headed deeper into the field. Thankfully, King tagged him. We'll have to hurry or he ll get away.
30245    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nWow, that Ashcroft has a lot of friends. We chased him into the field, and he suddenly dropped out of cruise. I thought he was trying to get away by taking a Jump Hole, but it turns out that a whole bunch of his thugs were ready to take us down. In the end, we chased them off, and I have Ashcroft securely in my cargo hold. I expected this assignment to be harder than the one near Pittsburgh, but I had no idea how well equipped these Artifact smugglers are. It s time to fly back to New York and deliver this guy to Juni. King uploaded the coordinates to the Colorado Gate -- time to get going.
30250    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nWe re back in New York. No more attacks, thank God. King told me an interesting story on the way. Seems like a Rheinland archeological expedition found an entire planet full of Artifacts recently, and here s the kick -- they seem to be active. Ever since then Liberty has tried to shut down the Artifact trade. I just can t believe this. While I m trading Boron, the Rheinlanders make the find of the century. What I would give to get my hands on one of these Artifacts. That was the very reason I left Leeds in the first place.
30255    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nWell, I hope the information the LSF is getting out of Ashcroft makes all of this worthwhile. King and I were attacked in the middle of the New York system by more of Ashcroft s men. I had no idea how powerful these Artifact traders really are, and I bet the public in Liberty has no idea either. In any event, I delivered Ashcroft to Juni and she will try to squeeze information out of him. The good news is that I now have the access codes for all of the Liberty Jump Gates. This allows me to jump to Texas and California. Should be interesting since I ve never been to either of these systems! I also got an extra bonus -- not bad at all. Maybe I can buy a new ship. The fighter that King is flying looks nice. If that turns out to be too expensive, I could certainly use some better equipment and weapons. Juni said she would be on assignment for a while but that she would need me again soon, I ll be waiting. For now I can spend some time checking out the rest of Liberty space until she calls me again.
30300    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nFinally! Looks like Juni is back from her assignment. She asked me to meet her on Manhattan.
30305    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nThis is just great! I flew to Manhattan to meet Juni and to also see if I could find Lonnigan. Well, I didn t have to -- he found me and held a gun to my head! That guy has seriously lost his mind. He told me that he had killed a man today. He was still totally paranoid. Babbled something about Freeport 7 and Zone 21. I told him that I knew that The Order was behind it, but he seems to think that it was Liberty. He says it has something to do with Artifacts. Lonnigan said he wanted to warn me to get out of Liberty. I don t know, he was different this time -- seemed focused and determined -- not at all the man who was confused just a few days ago. After this pleasant encounter I went to the bar to meet Juni, and guess what -- she wasn t there. This whole trip to Manhattan is turning into a disaster. Well, at least she left a message with the bartender for me. I m supposed to meet her on the terraforming station on California Minor. I asked the bartender -- the California system is only one jump away from the New York System. All I have to do is take the Jump Gate to California. According to the bartender, there are Trade Lanes all the way up to California Minor. He s uploaded the path to my Neural Net.
30310    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nWell, at least Juni had the decency to call me. She says she needs me for an assignment. Apparently, Ashcroft s interrogation was a success and yielded the information Juni and the LSF were looking for. I m somewhat interested in what that thug had to say. When I m in the mood, I ll look her up on California Minor.
30315    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nThings are really beginning to freak me out. I finally decided to meet Juni and just came out of the Jump Gate in California when I was stopped by a guy named Brandon Rowlett or something. He said he was with me on Freeport and on the rescue ship. I don t really remember him, but I think I know who this is -- or rather was. The guy was pretty freaked out and told me that some survivors from Freeport 7 had disappeared. He wanted to meet me on Los Angeles, but just as we wanted to fly off, a navy patrol came through the Trade Lane and shot him in cold blood. As the navy ships flew off, they sent me a comm to keep this quiet. What the heck is going on? I guess I ll keep it quiet, I don t want to end up like Rowlett did!
30320    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nI met Juni on California Minor. Wow, this place is basically a huge ice desert. Why anyone would want to settle here is a mystery to me. This has to be the worst bar in all of Liberty. Juni has less class than I thought. Her mission was interesting. Ashcroft claims that there is a traitor in the ranks of the LSF. Juni and I are to escort a convoy carrying Alien Artifacts from the Magellan system to a secret navy research lab here in California. Only a few people know about the convoy and its cargo. If we are attacked, it would prove that there really is a traitor within the LSF or the navy helping the Artifact smugglers. And just as we were about to leave, the News showed a breaking story that the leader of The Order had been killed. Guess what... they think it was Lonnigan! That s the most ludicrous thing I ve ever heard. He was a trader, and not even a good one. He didn t plan the attack on Freeport, but he almost got killed in the blast. I tried to tell Juni, but she wouldn t listen. I have to say that Rowlett was right about Freeport 7 survivors disappearing, and most of them violently. I have to be careful. As long as I work for the LSF, I should be pretty safe. I've to get going. Juni is waiting for me in space, and given how moody she is, I better not let her wait too long.
30325    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nNo doubt about it... Juni is angry. I flew all the way out to this desolate planet and all she has to offer is a basic escort mission that doesn t even pay very well. I told her that I wasn t interested and Juni just about blew up on me. What a temperament! I might look her up later, after she has cooled off a bit.
30330    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nWe ve reached the transports just before they entered the Barrera passage. The passage was built by the Navy Corps of Engineers and is basically a tube-shaped clearing through a dense ice asteroid field. Juni says that if there is an attack, it ll be inside the passage. We have to stay sharp.
30335    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nSo much has happened since my last entry. To say that we were attacked is an understatement. These Artifact smugglers seem to have a sheer endless supply of ships. We must have fought off 20 or more fighters in the passage and we were lucky that San Diego dispatched a fighter wing to help us, or we probably wouldn t be here in one piece. If anyone needed proof that there s a traitor somewhere in the LSF or navy, I think we now have ample evidence. Juni landed on Willard to contact her superior. She says we have to fly back to California Minor.
30340    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nWhat in the world is going on? After we left Station Willard, Juni told me that her CO has been placed under arrest for treason, and that all of her friends at the LSF have somehow disappeared. She didn t have an explanation, but maybe that traitor we were trying to weed out wasn t alone. And then on our way back to California Minor, we were attacked by Rheinland Valkyries! I mean... what the hell are Rheinland ships doing in the middle of Liberty space? Seems to me that there s a conspiracy going on, and that it s much more serious than we thought. Juni wants to meet a guy named Walker on California Minor. He s the captain of a Liberty cruiser. Juni says we can trust him and that she knows him from the past. I hope she s right.
30345    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nWe met Walker on California Minor. He s a typical stiff military officer, but he seems okay. He even offered me a job with the Liberty Navy. If I ever take a job with these guys, I might as well admit to myself that my dreams of a life filled with adventure and discovery are over. Anyway, he promised to help us hunt down the Artifact smugglers here in California. The plan is to start our search near Station Willard and to take it from there. We ll see if Walker can be trusted.
30350    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nRight as we left the planet, King called in. He confirmed that Juni s CO is in prison. He also told us that there s been a major shake-up in the ranks of the LSF. He seemed worried. But that not the last of it. As we entered formation with Walker s cruisers, he contacted us on a secure channel to tell us that Navy High Command ordered his group back to space dock for inspection. He seemed very suspicious since his ships had been to space dock just two months ago. Suddenly, we picked up a mayday from Station Willard. Walker decided to disregard the High Command and ordered his group to head to the station. We have to hurry. The station reports that it is taking heavy damage.
30355    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nThat must have been the biggest battle since the 80-Year War! Station Willard was under attack by several Rheinland gunboats and dozens of fighters. The station took heavy damage, and we barely managed to fight them off. There is general confusion as to what is going on. Walker and Juni are going to meet on the station to try to figure out what's going on. Juni wants me to take a few jobs and to keep my head down. She promised to contact me once she knows more.
30400    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nFinally, Juni called in. I was starting to get worried about her. She seemed concerned, almost frightened. I m supposed to meet her on Manhattan. I should probably get there quickly and see what s going on.
30405    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nI ve never seen Juni like this. She s scared -- no other word to describe it. She flew back to New York to ask Ashcroft what Rheinland ships have to do with the Artifact trade in Liberty, but when she got to the battleship where he was being held, she learned that all records of his arrest had been wiped clean. But that s not the worst of it. Walker s also disappeared. Official records show that his ship was lost five years ago! Something is terribly wrong here in Liberty. Juni thinks our best shot is to look for Walker in California, and given that all other people I know here in Liberty are either dead or have disappeared, that sounds like our best option. Juni went back to the equipment room to take care of some business when I was cornered on the landing deck by a suspicious-looking guy. He told me that he and I were the last two survivors of Freeport 7. I vaguely remembered him from the rescue ship. He told me that the station was blown to pieces because people were looking for an Artifact he has in his possession. Just as he showed me the piece, a navy officer appeared and shot him point blank. I was almost next, but Juni came back just in time. She told him to take me into custody, but he turned on her and opened fire. She was faster, but now we re really in trouble. Murder of a military officer is a capital offense here in Liberty and I doubt they ll buy it was self-defense. We have to get out of here -- fast -- while there s still time. Juni says she knows a place to hide.
30410    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nLooks like Ashcroft and Walker have both disappeared. Something s definitely wrong, but I don t really want to get into it. I have my own problems. Juni wants to look for Walker back in California. I told her that I m not really ready for this right now. I asked her to wait for me on Manhattan.
30415    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nWhat the hell was all THAT about?! That had to be at least half the Liberty war machine! King tells me that my name suddenly showed up on top of the navy s most wanted list. I mean, what the hell? I m wanted for murder, Artifact smuggling, treason, the destruction of Freeport 7, terrorism, and now we re here with some old guy Juni knows. I should have never have come to Liberty. Thank God Walker showed up though. I don t think we could have made it out of that hellhole without him.
30420    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nThree cruisers and a full escort wing, just for a single, one-man station?. Juni seems to be holding together alright, but I don't know how much longer we can hold out like this.
30425    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nJeez, even the Bounty Hunters are coming at us in full force. We just can t win, and everything keeps getting more and more confusing. We re in it deep. Now we re on a Lane Hacker base, of all things. I think we re on the edge of Bretonian space. Maybe being a grease monkey wasn t such a bad idea.
30430    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nRheinlanders?! What the hell was all THAT about?! What do they have to do with anything? Could it be that all of this is happening because of this damn artifact? I don't know. All I know is that home in Leeds is just past the cloud. I m sure Tobias will LOVE this story.
30435    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nWell, Tobias set me up with a good chunk of money for a new ship and pointed me towards the New London ship dealer. Still, I haven t been home in a while, and all that money is burning a hole in my pocket. After all that, I could use a drink.
30440    *Trent's Log
30445    *Trent's Log
30500    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nLooks like Juni finally found something... She sent me a message to meet her on Cambridge. Never liked going there -- just a bunch of stuffy bookworms. She says she has a lead on Professor Quintaine. I better get going. The less time I spend in Bretonia the better.
30505    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nWell, I flew all the way to Cambridge to hook up with Juni. I know she s trying to keep a low profile, and that sometimes means blending into public places, but jeez. I mean we always seem to meet in bars. And, no surprise -- the Professor has disappeared. It feels like a curse -- anyone we re trying to find either dies, is on the run, or magically disappears. In this case, however, Juni found a trail that might give us a chance to find Quintaine: a guy named Vance -- he s a pilot that used to help Quintaine get to the various archeological dig sites throughout the Border Worlds. He's not too smart and way too much in love with the bottle to be totally reliable, but he seemed trustworthy. Juni had told him that we were working for the Hammer Research Institute in Liberty and that we were interested in funding some of the Professor s research. That certainly opened some doors. Vance told us that the Professor sometimes disappears for weeks without telling anyone. That s good news -- he might still be alive. Vance pointed us to a Dr. Sinclair, who has been working closely with Quintaine for years. She s working on a dig site on planet Sprague not too far from here in the Omega-3 system. Then, at the very end of the conversation, Vance told us that a group of Rheinlanders also came by today looking for the Professor. They claimed to be from the New Berlin Museum -- fat chance. We have to hurry. If they get to Sinclair before we do, it s over. Juni is waiting in space above Cambridge.
30510    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nIt s always the same thing. If things don t go the way Juni wants them to, she gets angry and obnoxious. All I told her was that I wanted a bit more time before I get deeper into this Quintaine business, and what does she do? She yells at me! I ll hook up with her eventually, but for now, I ll take all the time I want. We re partners, right? Partners don t lose it like that -- not with each other.
30515    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nI rendezvoused with Juni above Cambridge. She has already plotted the course to Sprague. It s not very far. We ll have to take the Trade Lane from here to the Norfolk and from there to the Omega-3 system. Once there, the quickest way is to fly to Freeport 1 and cut over to Sprague from there. The planet lies beyond the trade routes and is a bit remote, but overall the trip doesn t seem too bad. The only issues are these damn Rheinlanders. Hopefully, we ll find the Professor first.
30520    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nWe just passed the Norfolk. Sounds like the conflict between Bretonia and Rheinland is escalating. We have to be careful. The Norfolk says that no Rheinland ships have been seen in Omega-3 yet. Maybe we ll be lucky.
30525    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nWe re in Omega-3 and just passed Freeport 1. It s really starting to look like a military confrontation between Bretonia and Rheinland is becoming more and more likely. The Chancellor has ordered the Rheinland Military to set up blockades in the Omega-7 system, and no foreign merchant ships are allowed into Rheinland space anymore. We re continuing on to Sprague. No sight of any Rheinlanders yet.
30530    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nWhat the HELL?! These Rheinland ships came out of nowhere! Just as we were approaching Sprague a number of them just uncloaked directly in front of us. We managed to destroy them, but it was close. I hope they didn t get to Sinclair before we did. We have to land as quickly as possible.
30535    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nWe found Sinclair, but just as we talked to her, the Rheinlanders attacked the dig site. How do they know where we are all the time? A good part of that blockade must ve been waiting for us. They blew up the docking ring on the way out. Sinclair says she knows of a place nearby. This is gonna be close.
30540    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nDon t know how we got out of there alive. I ll give the Rheinlanders one thing -- they re persistent -- annoying, but persistent. As always, another station I set foot on blows up. I m really beginning to hate space, but I m not about to die out here in the middle of nowhere. If I m going down, I m taking a few of those guys with me.
30545    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nFor a scientist, Sinclair is a damn good pilot, but she s a sad judge of character. So two Rheinland "defectors" just happen to cross our path and are kind enough to just show us the way out. Riiiight. Why am I always the only one who picks up on this stuff? We just about got killed a few minutes ago by these same guys, and we re all of a sudden following them around?
30550    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nThe battleship Wotan. I ve heard stories about it, but I ve never seen it in person. Rheinland is being more than bold, bringing heavy capitol ships this close to Bretonia and awfully close to home. I didn t believe those two defectors at first, but after watching them take out that battleship, I m guessing things aren t exactly picture perfect in the Fatherland. Well, time to get back to Leeds. Bet Tobias can t wait to see what followed me home this time.
30555    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nLeeds -- home sweet home. At least I know that no matter how bad things get, I can always come back to this bustling brown haven. At least we have a solid lead now, which I m sure will send us right back into the fire. Well, at least I can breathe for a little and run around the old stomping grounds a bit. Tobias seemed enthralled with my new "friends." He really hasn't changed one bit.
30600    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nGreat -- just great. Juni s got me on this wild goose chase for some guy named Dexter Hovis out in the middle of the Dublin system. I bet he s out on that abandoned battleship. Nothing but scum and gamblers out there. I think they were building some kind of race track out there, too. Maybe I ll place a few down, seeing as I still haven t been paid yet. I hope all of this gets us closer to finding out what that Artifact is all about.
30605    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nWell, I was right about the track, and I was right about the gambling. The only thing I didn t see coming was that I d be the main attraction. Wonderful. At least this ll be easier than being shot at by Rheinlanders constantly. Apparently you can t place bets on yourself. Damn it, I m never gonna get paid.
30610    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nI m not racing this old backwoods hick. What s he doing out here anyways? Shouldn t he be out in Texas or in the Border Worlds or something? Well, in any case, I m not racing him just so he can get a sucker to burn. Juni will just have to find another lead.
30615    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nOld hick got me the first round. He s not going to get me again, though.
30620    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nThat bastard cheated! Lucky for him, I ve got better things to do than beat old backwoods freaks like him back where they came from. Alright, Quintaine is supposed to be over on this old abandoned station, the Glorious, not too far from here. Hovis had better be right about this, or I m turning around and heading straight back. I ve had to deal with way too much to deal with some backwater idiot like him.
30625    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nI don t know what s worse: these Rheinland guys who chase me to hell and back, or this old fart Quintaine. I m trying to save him, and he has the audacity to try to space me?! Well, at least maybe now we can answer a few questions. Still, I m glad I m not in the same ship as him. This entire trip has been nothing but one irritation after another.
30630    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nThis Rheinland bit is getting old already. I ve heard rumors that the Queen Mother is about ready to take up arms against Rheinland. Good, I m tired of seeing them all over my backyard. You d think in my own home system I d be a little safer, but these guys just keep showing up. It s because of things like this that I left to begin with. Still, if all this goes up in flames, I ll never be able to find a good drink again.
30635    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\n
30640    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\n
30645    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\n
30700    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nFinally, I can get off this hunk of smoking rock and out of this stinking brown system. Juni needs me to help get Quintaine and Sinclair out of Bretonia. Every time that guy opens his big mouth, I want to stick my fist in it. If this is the best and brightest the colonies have to offer, we re all doomed. I have to wonder -- the last time I left Leeds I managed to piss off an entire government. I hope I can come back again one day.
30705    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nJuni needs me to help get Quintaine and Sinclair out of Bretonia -- only problem is that I haven t had a chance to step out and take a breather. I know they need me, but sometimes a man s gotta do what a man s gotta do.
30710    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nThose bastards! They were right on my front door this time! I m getting tired of this cat and mouse game. Why does everyone want this stupid rock so bad? And how did they get that deep into Bretonia? No matter where we go, there they are. It s funny. I always thought that all of Tobias  boasting about his days in the Royal Space Force was just that -- boasting, but I m sure glad he showed up. I owe him a lot, actually. One of these days I m coming back here and repaying him for everything he s done for me.
30715    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nDamn Rheinlanders are persistent! How are they blocking us at every direction? In any case, we ve managed to get out of this mess, and we re one step closer to... to... Where are we going anyways? Shinden, Shinagawa... Shinkaku! That s it! We re supposed to meet some guy named Kress. I hope whoever he is, he can get Quintaine and Sinclair out of my hair. Dealing with Juni is about all I can take as it is.
30720    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nI was hoping Kress was there to take this old fart away! Oh well, it s not too far from here -- small price to pay to keep from embedding my foot in his head. Tobias is going back home. I hope he doesn t do some damn fool thing like re-enlist. Well, at least I won t have too much to worry about. He ll probably do something like hit on a higher ranked female officer. I get the impression there weren t any female pilots in his days. Heh, that s Tobias though. Hope he s gonna be alright. Well, off to Kress  base.
30725    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nFirst we have to go through this giant methane field into a giant open area of space where -- surprise, surprise -- a Rheinland fleet awaits us. This is NOT what I signed up for. Protecting the old windbag is hard enough; having to take on an entire fleet is not my idea of fun. It s more like suicide. Kress  men showed up, but they didn t really help much. What good are scrub fighters against capitol ships? Well, at least we got out of there alive. Maybe now I can finally dump this guy. ME-thane?! Who pronounces it like that?! It s METH-ane! If this is the best scientific mind the universe has to offer, we re all in a lot of trouble.
30730    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nIf anyone gets to shoot Quintaine, it s gonna be me, not some damned lackey. I ve already been shot at, electrocuted, and nearly bombed to death. A good  ol stand off isn t gonna shake me. Well, at least Quintaine is outta my hair. At least Sinclair was easy on the eyes. Well, on to Kyushu to meet a Lord Hakkera. I ve actually never been to Kusari before. I m very curious to see what it s like.
30735    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nSo that was Lord Hakkera. There s an air about that man. I don t know -- he s very... commanding. Anyways, Juni seems to know him, not that that s saved us in the past. Hopefully her home system will provide better protection than Bretonia. I guess I ll do some sight seeing and take up a few jobs while I m here. It s not often I get to be a tourist.

30800    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nThere s something different about the people Juni knows in this system. They re so strong in their convictions -- kinda makes me forget about more trivial things. That reminds me -- I still haven t gotten paid! Well, in any case, we re off to intercept some transport with one of the heads of the Kusari government, Governor Tekagi, onboard. I ve read about this guy in the news. I thought he was working for peace, but if there s anything I ve learned, it s that things aren t always as they seem.
30805    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nJuni seemed sad that I couldn t accept the mission, but I still have things to take care of before I m ready to take this one. If there s one thing I ve learned after being chased out of two of the houses, it s that it s always best to be prepared.
30810    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nWe ended up taking this really backwards way to Honshu, mostly due to the fact we had to join up with a Blood Dragon wing. I ve heard of these guys before. They re this weird type of "good pirate" that roams through Kusari. People say that they re the best pilots anywhere in the colonies. That doesn t help explain Juni s piloting abilities. Well, we still have one more leg on this journey. We have to get that transport out of impound and get it to the Blood Dragon home, the legendary Kyoto Base.
30815    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nWe got the transport! That actually wasn t too hard, but I think that s due in part to Ozu. I ve never seen anything so surgical before. Ozu s men knew exactly what to do. It was almost poetic. No wonder these guys are known as legends.
30820    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nTekagi wasn t aboard and neither was the Tome! Ozu seems unphased by all of this -- I don t know how. I guess this all just comes naturally to him. I can see why everyone around here reveres him so much. So this is the legendary Kyoto Base. I guess I ll take some jobs and earn some scratch while Ozu and the Blood Dragons come up with another way to find the Tome. This place isn't much to look at, but they ve got some great equipment here. I can certainly get used to the way they dress.

30900    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nGreat, we re going into a heavily defended fortress to retrieve a scroll, of all things. Normally this kind of thing would bother me, but there s something about the Blood Dragons that makes you want to try, if not for you, for everyone else. Heh, maybe this constant hell I ve been through in the last few weeks is changing me, or maybe it s just the sense of determination around here.
30905    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nIt felt horrible telling Ozu that I wasn t ready for this mission. He seemed disappointed in me. I don t know what it is, but I feel like I have to earn his respect. I have to get ready for this, I can t let the Blood Dragons down.
30910    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nJuni seemed rather angry that we didn t tell her we were leaving. There was a different sound in her voice though. She sounded kind of disappointed. In any case, I leave this mission in Ozu s hands. He s the first person I ve trusted in a long time not to screw things up. We re supposed to meet several wings of Blood Dragons along the way. That worries me. Just a few of these guys could take out a fleet. What kind of defenses are there that require several wings of Blood Dragons?
30915    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nThings are starting to heat up. Tekagi s men are easily just as good as the Blood Dragons, and they re coming in equal numbers. No wonder Ozu joined up with so many wings. We had to take out the energy generators on the shield in order to get into this thing. The way I understand it, it used to be one of the wonders of Kusari. Now it s a fortress.
30920    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nWhat the hell was THAT! That thing killed Ozu in cold blood! What is going on here?! This was supposed to be a simple little mission -- then the fat man s eyes start glowing. Excellent, all this way to see Ozu die. I wouldn t have even made it out if it wasn t for Lord Hakkera. How did he get that ship in here anyways? No time to mourn, gotta get outta here before something else shows up intent on killing us. Ozu... sensei... sayonara...
30925    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nJuni ended up meeting us along the way, but so did a few Rheinlanders. These guys just don t quit. A few moments and torpedoes later and it was over. Juni seemed very saddened by Ozu s death. I could tell from the tone in her voice. Anyway, Hakkera and the remaining Blood Dragons are taking us back to Kyoto so we can regroup. All this is just getting to be too much. This isn t what I signed up for.
30930    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nI kind of snapped at Hakkera when we landed. So many people have died, and it seems like this constant hunt Rheinland has for us is never going to end. I really wasn t expecting all this when I first met Juni on Manhattan. I just wanted to make some cash and explore the galaxy. Now I m some kind of freedom fighter. I d give anything to have Freeport 7 back and for Lonnigan to have just given me my money. It seems like war is breaking out everywhere, though, and I guess if I wasn t here, things would be just as bad everywhere else. I better take on a few missions and load up. I m willing to bet things are about to go to hell.

31000    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nAfter everything that s happened, I don t know what to make of things anymore. Juni s asked me to meet her back on Kyoto. Apparently Lord Hakkera needs me for a job that only I can do. I can only assume that this will translate into being shot at -- a lot.
31005    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nI can t say no to Hakkera. He saved my life back at the Arch, and I have to return the favor. Still, into the heart of Rheinland? This mission is suicide, but I guess I ve earned myself quite the reputation for blindly accepting just about anything, no matter how suicidal. I better get to the equipment room before launching to space. Who knows what kind of trouble I ll run into.
31010    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nInto Rheinland?! I know I owe Lord Hakkera a lot, but there s no way I m going into the lion s den! I ve already been shot at enough for three lifetimes. There's no way I'm going to the place where they all come from. Well, I suppose if it s gotta be done it s gotta be done, but why is it always me that has to do it? Maybe I'll change my mind later. For now, I'm just going to take it easy for a while.
31015    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nLord Hakkera was good enough to escort me to Sigma-13, along with a full honor guard. He s got a new second command, Cobo. Good enough kid -- young though. Ozu, I didn t know him that long, but at least he went down fighting. I hope he s happier wherever he is. In any case, I better get my head out of the clouds and back in the cockpit. Rumor has it that Rheinland has begun amassing ships in this system in preparation for war. Part of the reason I m even getting an honor guard is so they can strike them before they get the chance to gain a foothold. Remarkable, even through they re outcast from Kusari society, the Blood Dragons still defend their home.
31020    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nInsane. That s all that was. I ve always heard about the legendary Blood Dragon pilots, and I even got to fly with them at Tekagi s Arch, but I ve never seen anything like Tekagi s Honor. Not only did they fend off the fleet, they took down one of those monstrous Rheinland battleships! I wish I could have stayed to help, but Rheinland was only a short flight away. We had to fly through this old, abandoned graveyard of ships left over from the 80-Years War. Eerie. I hope getting Von Claussen will prevent more of these from showing up.
31025    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nWho were those two idiots? I ve never been so creeped out in my life, and after that bit with Tekagi, I thought I was prepared for anything. Well at least it gave me a lead. Why is it whenever I m told to meet someone somewhere, they re never there? It just makes things harder. Well, I ll say one thing about New Berlin -- they ve got a pretty well stocked bar. I ll have to remember to come back one day if all this madness ever calms down.
31030    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nIt seems Herr Von Claussen s intelligence networks are more extensive than I thought. He had this man, Hans Fischer, accompany me to Holstein. Good thing, too. Somehow I doubt that Rheinland would have appreciated a wanted man wandering through their systems. The military buildup here is immense -- like nothing I ve ever seen. The war is really going to happen. For the first time I have to say I m a little scared. Still, it d be nice to have at least a few credits in the bank for later in life, assuming there is a later in life.
31035    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nNow I remember, Herr Von Claussen. Ace pilot and tactician of the Rheinland Military -- over 500 kills and he never lost an escort or wingman. I remember reading stories about him, but never in a million years did I think I d ever be flying with him. I m actually rather surprised he defected. I always thought he fought for his country, but I guess some things go beyond country and homeland. In any case, he wants to meet up with a Rheinland rebel group located not too far from here, and who am I to say no?
31040    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nThankfully, Rheinland has spread itself so thin that it can t properly maintain its local patrols. That little scuffle on the way in could have been worse. Von Claussen s intelligence networks have managed to pull up data on the amassing of a secret fleet not too far from here. Finally, after weeks of getting chased around by these Rheinlanders, I get to hit  em where it hurts. I really can t wait. Better go stock up -- it s payback time.
31045    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nOnly Von Claussen and I made it --.the rest all died. It was a massacre... Capitol ships everywhere... Botzler s wing didn t know what to do. They weren t as experienced as Von Claussen or Botzler, and they weren t nearly as skilled as Hakkera s Honor Guard. They died protecting a home they ll never see again. Botzler did it all. He took out the entire dry dock by himself. So many people have died. Then, to add insult to injury, the flagship of the South Rheinland Fleet decloaked right in front of our noses! Thankfully, Hakkera showed up out of nowhere in this ship I d never seen before. Far be it from me to look a gift horse in the mouth. Turns out it s owned by The Order, and commanded by Orillion. Quite an impressive man, and a far stretch from that idiot Lonnigan they accused as being Orillion. We don t have a lot of time left, and now that Von Claussen is safe and sound, I think I ll treat myself to a drink. Where is the bar in this place, anyways?
31100    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nIt s ironic that after washing ashore in Liberty after Freeport 7 was destroyed, now so much later -- I am going back. This time it s not the cozy Manhattan bar, it s the darkest hole Liberty has to offer. But we have a mission now -- we are to save the President. Again, very ironic since she is the reason we ve been hunted from the start. Well, that's just another ironic twist of fate and this is where it all comes together. It s not about money, it s not about the Artifact. The stakes are higher now and I ve got a job to do.
31105    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nI can t believe I m back here in New York -- and with Walker no less. What the hell did he have to do to stay alive? It s unbelievable! So much has happened since the last time we worked together. What did he say once? Something about fighting for a cause? Okay, here I am. Let s get to it.
31110    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nAn intra-system Jump Hole -- what a ride! Taking out the satellite wasn t too much of a problem, but Liberty has definitely increased its security from the last time I was here.. The entrance to Zone-21 was a little more difficult. I can t say I didn t expect that. But we ve come this far, we re committed. Orillion s last words concern me though, Rescue or terminate. Does this mean we may have to execute the President if she s too far gone? I don t know how to react to that yet. Whatever. It looks like we re going to get the president -- one way or another.
31115    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nI can t even comment on what I have been a witness to. The President is fine -- meaning she is still human -- and we have her now. I saw it -- I saw what was inside the Chancellor. It was horrible. I hesitated, I admit it. It was all so far-fetched until saw it for myself -- right there in the prison cell. I saw it. I saw true evil. I won t hesitate again.
31120    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nOzu was a brave man. For a long time I thought I could have saved him. No, I couldn t. Ozu died doing what he had to. What I saw today drove this home: Walker and his entire crew sacrificed themselves so we could get the President back to the Osiris. I couldn t have helped him any more than I could have helped Ozu. As Hakkera said, he knew the risks. I am thankful for Walker s bravery and, briefly, his comradeship. We would not have made it without him and his crew.

31200    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nI should have stayed on Leeds. Now they want me to fly into some Nomad base that will more than likely require me getting shot up by various ships I ve never seen before. Once I get there, I have to tractor in some power cell to activate the stupid purple rock and then get out before it does something silly like explode. Excellent. Orillion says that the structure is more than likely abandoned. After everything that s happened, I ll be really surprised if it actually is.
31205    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nIt s beautiful. It s like nothing I ve ever seen. Still, we ve got to hurry. I ll have a better chance against those Nomad fighters than I will against the radiation in here.
31210    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nThey were everywhere. Absolutely everywhere I turned, Nomads. Even after escaping the Lair, we jumped right into a fire fight. It all keeps getting crazier and crazier, and I have to force myself to believe that this is real. Von Claussen came out of nowhere like some avenging angel of death. I ve never seen anyone pilot so coldly, and so efficiently. In any case, we ve got to get back to Toledo so Quintaine can hook this power cell up and we can finally see what the Artifact can do.

31300    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nSo the Artifact turns out to be a giant system map?! I have one of those on my ship!! Good for nothing bald headed windbag! Maybe I m missing something. In any case, this base is incredibly impressive -- the best ships and the best weapons I've ever seen. I m getting that sinking feeling in my stomach about all of this. Like this is the ride into the sunset the hero makes, or maybe that heroic last stand. In any case, I m taking up Orillion s offer and stocking up on all the weapons and equipment I can.
31305    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nSeems like that Hole that got sealed up to Omicron Beta only slowed them down. The Nomads bombed the base into ashes. Orillion had called us down to pick up the Artifact. This thing is supposed to stop all those damn blue bastards floating around in space right now. It s like a boiling cauldron of lasers and ships out there, and we re going right back into it.
31310    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nThose Nomad battleships were a lot easier to take down when they were in dry dock. Things are getting hot now, and we re heading straight into the demon s maw. I m tired. I m tired of running away. I m tired of being chased. It s time to end all of this. I m taking this stupid purple rock and shoving it straight down their throats.
31315    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nI ll give them one thing, they don t build things small. As big as the Jump Gate was that brought us here, this, this thing is even bigger. Quintaine called it a Dyson's Sphere. Now we just have to find a way inside. Everyone in this fight owes the Nomads something. Revenge or a cry for freedom. No matter what, we ve got to win. When did I get so damned patriotic? Must be it s all this space bacteria I keep seeing.
31320    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nOh my god. It s amazing. I have to take out those generators. There s a shield around a city the size of a small planet! If we can get that shield down, I can shove this tinker toy right into their stomachs.
31325    *PERSONAL ENTRY:\nWe managed to make it out of there after all. The Nomads all got sucked away into some kind of wormhole above the Nomad City. Orillion and The Order intend on keeping a close eye on it. They ve even asked me to be their contact in Liberty. Hakkera has gone back to Kusari to rebuild. Tobias ended up getting kicked out of the Bretonia Royal Space Force just like I thought he would, but I think he got a girlfriend or something out of it. Von Claussen was nowhere to be found after the fight. He s presumed dead, but somehow I doubt that. A man like Von Claussen doesn t just fade away. President Jacobi gave Juni, King, and I a full pardon. We even got a medal... the Lone Star. Sounds kind of goofy, doesn't it? Anyway, as much as I appreciate that, it doesn t make up for the fact that I never got paid. Just my luck... I'm a hero, but I'm back to freelancing. In the end, maybe that's not all that bad. There are still lots of worlds to discover and systems to explore. I don t think I m ready to call Liberty home yet. A not insignificant reason for that is that I don t think I ll ever get used to Liberty Ale.

56000    Famous Manhattan Artist Kidnapped
56001    MANHATTAN -- In one of their boldest moves yet, the Liberty Rogues have kidnapped famous Sculptor John Frankel. He was discovered missing from his apartment two days ago. This afternoon, a ransom demand was received from his captors insisting that a million credits be left within the Pittsburg Debris field at a specific location, where upon he would be released. Frankel s family fears that the Rogues may kill him even if they do pay the ransom.
56002    Drug Abuse on the Rise in Liberty
56003    MANHATTAN -- A recently conducted independent survey shows increased use of the illegal drug Cardamine by the young elite of Manhattan. "This is alarming news," LPI chief, Bill Watkins, said as he responded to questions at a press conference that was called to specifically address the planet s rising Cardamine infatuation. Watkins went on to say that LPI cannot and will not make exceptions for youngsters under the influence. "If we catch them with the drug, we have to put them away," he later quoted after being questioned regarding the measures the LPI would take against young Manhattanites that were arrested for possession.
56004    Rheinland Expats Flock to Manhattan
56005    MANHATTAN -- Rheinland high society is on the move, and Manhattan is the destination of choice. With the economic woes that Rheinland has been experiencing in recent years, many of the colony s finest families are relocating to the center of Sirius. "I can live the life I wish to lead more easily here -- it s a shame, but true," said Gerhardt Schliefner, a newcomer from Stuttgart. Immigrants most commonly cited the uncontrolled crime wave in Rheinland as their primary reason for leaving.
56006    Hazing Banned at West Point
56007    WEST POINT -- The West Point command staff banned hazing today after the controversy stirred up last year involving the death of one of its newest recruits, Christine Belton. The youth died of alcohol poisoning during "hell week" at the academy s most popular fraternity. "Christine shouldn t have been drinking like that, since she was a small woman," said cadet Josh Dawkins, a member of the fraternity, who was the first to report the incident to the staff at West Point.
56008    Record Bounty Offered by IC
56009    NEWARK -- IC announced today a reward of two million credits for the death or capture of dreaded Outcast pirate Santiago Llorens. "IC is dedicated to the eradication of crime in Liberty and throughout Sirius," said Public Relations Director John Vrimoot. Immediately the Bounty Hunters Guild issued a communication stating that two of its very finest men who have attained the rank of Guild Master would be dispatched with six journeymen Hunters to find and kill Llorens.
56010    Xeno Attack Repulsed by the LPI
56011    Detroit -- The Liberty outlaws known as the Xenos were routed after a brief firefight with LPI fighters today after they attempted to hijack an armored transport leaving the Detroit Munitions facility. The authorities were tipped of the impending attack on the weapons shipment and laid a trap, which resulted in the capture of three outlaws and the death of three others. "The alert citizens of Liberty enabled us to strike a blow for justice today," LPI representatives stated in a press conference.
56012    Corruption in the LPI
56013    FT. BUSH -- A sting operation perpetrated by Free Eagle Press caught two LPI pilots taking bribes from a well known Junker believed to be a primary smuggler within New York. The two officers were arrested today, a week after the video was aired. Although both officers entered "not guilty" pleas, the evidence against them is very strong. Both men s faces clearly appear in the exchange caught on camera. "If they get sent to Texas, they are dead men," said LPI Officer Susan Davies. "Cops who go to prison don t come out."
56014    The Badlands, Not Just a Name
56015    NEW YORK -- Tucked into the southern end of New York lies the fields known as the Badlands. In a study conducted by IC it was discovered that the Badlands are actually the most dangerous area in all of Liberty space. Populated by a variety of dangerous criminals, the field claims hundreds of lives per year. "I don t go in there; that s a military job," said LPI officer Mary Dennis. It seems that even the military and the LSF have their troubles in the Badlands. IC recommends that civilians give the area a wide berth.
56016    Hacker Wins LA Surf Competition
56017    LOS ANGELES -- Apparently, piracy isn t the only thing that Lane Hackers are good at. This year the California Cup was won by none other than Gilbert Hudson, former Ageira employee and Lane Hacker. Hudson, who entered the competition under a false name, was identified by a former Ageira co-worker, who recognized him as he took center stage to accept the cup. As soon as Hudson saw LPI security guards making their way through the crowd towards the stage, he grabbed the cup and fired a message from a wrist transmitter. A moment later a ship descended from the skies. Hudson hopped aboard and fled with several police cruisers in hot pursuit.
56018    Nouveau Riche in California
56019    LOS ANGELES -- The Liberty elite have traditionally lived in Manhattan, although the surge in recent California transplants may signal a new trend. In this month s survey in Liberty Style, the superior climate and the presence of Ageira s research facility on Los Angeles were noted as key factors for relocating New Yorkers. "This is the place to be rich if you are young," quoted one 29 year-old Ageira executive.
56020    California Minor: Fact or Fantasy?
56021    CALIFORNIA -- With California s booming population growth many are wondering if Planetform will be able to deliver on the promises of California Minor. The company has assured the public that the planet will be finished within the next two generations. The future prosperity of Los Angeles may depend on that promise. "When my grandfather came here he said there was a lot of wide open space and plentiful water; now look at it -- we re jam packed here," said California Tourism Director Mike Greeley. "People see how great it is to come here, and they decide to stay. That can t go on forever."
56022    Workers Protest Monitoring Device
56023    LOS ANGELES -- Ageira employees are threatening to strike after management s last request that every employee be fitted with a location transmitter. It would be inserted under the skin as a permanent fixture, which would allow Ageira to monitor the location of its workers at all times. The device was proposed to combat the chance that any more Ageira staff would join the Lane Hackers if they decided to leave the company. "If their intentions are innocent, then no one should have a problem getting the chip," reported an Ageira area director for operations in California.
56024    Outcasts Active in California
56025    MOJAVE -- The Outcasts are the scourge of Sirius and have now emerged as the most pressing security problem in California. No shipping convoy or transport is safe from the drug-smuggling mask breathers who call themselves Outcasts. They have attacked yet again; this time it was Gold shipments inbound from Bretonia. IC contends that the attack was premeditated and that the Outcasts had inside information regarding the convoy s cargo manifests. This is a tell-tale sign of Lane Hacker involvement. The cooperation between these two criminal groups can only spell more trouble for the people of this system.
56026    Planetform Demands More Money
56027    CALIFORNIA MINOR -- California Minor is costing more than first expected to terraform. Or at least this is what Planetform claimed today as they again lobbied for additional funds from the libertonian government and other investors. The company claims that the process is on schedule, but there have been extra expenses due to the difficult terrain encountered on the planet s surface. Manhattan sources speculate that Liberty will deny any further funding requests made before the project s targeted completion date of 845 AS.
56028    Yukon Will Return to New York
56029    BATTLESHIP YUKON -- The battleship Yukon is in need of repairs and maintenance. The ship will soon be on its way to the Norfolk Shipyards for refitting and rearming. The LPI states that this maintenance will not leave the system vulnerable to attack from outlaws because the security contingent in California will be tripled during the estimated six-month hiatus. "It s time the old girl had a paint job," quipped Yukon s chief engineer, George Stuart. Although the Yukon will need quite a bit more than a new coat of paint, military officials say that this is no more than routine maintenance.
56030    2 Marauder Players Slain in Attack
56031    SAN DIEGO -- Kevin Kincaid and Reginald Burney were both killed when their luxury transport ship was attacked and destroyed by Outcasts while on its way through the system. These exceptional players will be sorely missed as the California Marauders try to make their way through the playoffs. The team has been given a bye week to recruit replacements from the waivers or with free agents. Memorial services will be held for both men next week after the upcoming match against Cambridge.
56032    Undesirables Still Lurking in the Hills
56033    DENVER -- It looks like the LPI might still have work left to do on the planet. A large group of vagrants and squatters have been repeatedly sighted in Lowell Park, one of the most mountainous regions in the northern hemisphere of the planet. The LPI is planning a large raid of the area to clear out any who do not have the right to be there. "We are going to boot these troublemakers off of Denver, don't worry," said Denver LPI Chief Sheri Henson.
56034    Garbled Messages Baffle Authorities
56035    DENVER -- LPI investigators are puzzled today as they wrestle with the third encrypted message that has been intercepted in as many weeks. The transmissions are coming from multiple locations within the northern Colorado asteroid fields. Frustrated by the LPI's failure to make headway in the investigation, Ageira has loaned their top encryption specialists to aid the police effort. One source theorized that the transmissions are using a modified Ageira encryption algorithm, which suggests Lane Hacker involvement.
56036    Klugh to Give Benefit Concert
56037    DENVER -- Popular Manhattan musician and singer "G-Klu" will be playing at the Johnson Amphitheater tonight in a one time benefit show. The proceeds of the concert is going to be donated in its entirety to the "Help the Children of Denver Fund," which is an organization dedicated to assisting orphaned children from around Colorado find homes with wealthy families on the planet. At five thousand credits each, the tickets were not exactly a bargain. Nevertheless, they quickly sold out. Expect to see the best that Colorado society has to offer at the show.
56038    Hackers Tangle with Xenos
56039    GUNNISON -- A Liberty Navy patrol stumbled upon a skirmish between Lane Hackers and Xenos in the Alamosa Field. "It was pretty obvious that the Hackers were winning the scrap, Xenos were blowing up left and right," reported Navy captain Alison Chamberlain. The Navy patrol entered the fray to find themselves being fired upon by both sides. "One minute they were killing each other, then both groups were raining shots down on us," Chamberlain added. More navy ships arrived shortly and the remaining pirates retreated.
56040    Bowex and Gateway Trade Shots
56041    SILVERTON FIELD -- Bowex and Gateway transports exchanged fire near the Trade Lanes leading from Pueblo to the New York Gate. The rivalry between the two Bretonian firms has always been a bitter one, but this is the first documented incident of hostile action occurring within a House system. The captains of the two ships claim that the guns were activated "accidentally" and it was not their intention to hurt anyone. Indeed, no damage occurred to either vessel since the shields absorbed the few shots that were fired.
56042    Skirmish in Rio Grande Bar injures 5
56043    RIO GRANDE -- A scuffle broke out aboard the Battleship Rio Grande three days ago between Navy crewmen and several Bounty Hunters. Apparently the exchange began when one of the Bounty Hunters made a negative comment regarding the condition of the Liberty battleship and the poor quality of the patrol craft that Navy pilots fly. The argument escalated when several punches were thrown. Soon, the ship's bar had degenerated into an all out brawl. Five were treated at the battleship's infirmary for various minor injuries.
56044    Liberty Ship Destroyed in Collision
56045    GALILEO JUMP GATE -- Samura offered an official apology today to the families of the men lost aboard a small Synth Luxury Foods Freighter that was headed towards New Tokyo. The Samura employee who was piloting the larger vessel claims that his ship had right of way to enter the trade lanes, but the Synth vessel exiting the lanes ignored his ship and recklessly attempted to sweep by the freight train. Many are suspicious of this claim but no one has any proof to the otherwise since there were no other witnesses.
56046    Squatters Appeal to Government
56047    DENVER -- A coalition of impoverished Colorado residents made an appeal to the Liberty government today, presenting a message entitled: "Being poor is not illegal." The prepared statement was addressed to the legislature in Manhattan and summarized a list of the grievances that many long time Colorado residents held. They cited numerous examples of revised zoning laws that forced them to abandon their homes for temporary encampments scattered in the hills. There they faced harassment by LPI "squatter" patrols. There's been no official acknowledgement from New York.
56048    Crime in the Family
56049    HOUSTON -- A recent poll showed that more than 80 percent of the entire population of Houston has a family member that has been convicted of a crime or has served time on an LPI ship. However, only 30 percent of all those employed in the Fertilizer or Construction machinery plants have been convicted of a felony offense. For many it seems that working the plants is their only chance at leading a legitimate life.
56050    A Debt is Owed to Texas
56051    HOUSTON -- Before the Dallas Incident, Liberty invested heavily in Texas. Houston residents were led to believe that the system would be the research center of the entire House. Virtually overnight the government moved out, leaving nothing but destruction and decay in its wake. Many citizens feel that the government had no right to leave Texas so abruptly because of a terrible government error. "There wouldn't be no crime here if they gave folks an option," says Fertilizer plant worker and Houston native Frank Stalls. Perhaps there is a better alternative to solving crime than building new prisons.
56052    Houston Resident Recovers Loot
56053    HOUSTON -- Horace Whittaker was awakened last week to the sound of a terrific explosion outside his home. A smoking crater was all that of remained of his backyard and a Liberty Rogue ship that had plummeted from the skies. The next day, as Whittaker surveyed the wreckage, he spotted something shining in the ashes. It turned out to be a Diamond. "I started digging through that mess like crazy," Whittaker reported. When all was told, he had recovered over a million credits in Diamonds. According to Liberty law the Diamonds are his.
56054    The Guild is Looking for New Blood
56055    HOUSTON -- They say the best way to catch a criminal is to hire one, and that is exactly what the Bounty Hunters Guild is doing in the following months. Guild masters will be coming in from New York to recruit new Bounty Hunters into the organization. For many this is an excellent opportunity to leave Texas and make their fortunes adventuring in space. Any applicants who qualify will receive training and benefits, although all pay is earned exclusively through successful bounty collections.
56056    Prisoner Dies in Escape Attempt
56057    HUNTSVILLE -- Liberty Rogue Jerry Bender died yesterday when he suffocated inside the Consumer Goods container he was trying to escape in. The brigand was able to sneak into the container of Textiles being shipped to New York, but he did not account for the oxygen that he would need to survive the journey. His container was loaded aboard an express transport bound for Manhattan, but a backup at the New York Gate caused the shipment to arrive 2 hours too late for the unfortunate escapee.
56058    Outcasts on the Prowl in Texas
56059    SUGARLAND -- It is believed that the Outcasts' most recent assault on an LPI transport bound for Manhattan was a revenge attack for the recent death of Outcast bandit Jorge Garcia. Garcia had been serving time aboard the Sugarland for Cardamine smuggling and piracy when he died unexpectedly of natural causes. The transport was attacked by a large sortie of Outcast ships from the North Dallas Debris Field as it made its way along the Trade Lanes. Three LPI escorts and the transport itself were destroyed in the attack. The Outcasts escaped behind the marker buoys and into the debris before more LPI forces could arrive.
56060    Xeno Prison Populations Growing
56061    HUNTSVILLE -- Soon a Xeno leader will finish his sentence aboard the Huntsville and likely rejoin his partners in crime. Figures show that for every Xeno that enters the Texas prison system, three more exit. Apparently the Xenos are using the LPI ships as prime recruiting stations for their war against foreign shippers. This criminal group is currently the fastest growing illegal faction within Liberty. If this trend continues, Xenos will outnumber Rogues in fifteen years.
56062    Rheinland Critical of Liberty Navy
56063    HOUSTON -- According to New Berlin, the crew aboard the battleship Mississippi is not doing an adequate job of protecting Rheinland ships passing through Texas. This statement was made after Republican Shipping lodged a complaint with the Rheinland government concerning the number of convoys that have fallen victim to Xenos, Rogues, and Outcasts in the system. Liberty asserts that its own ships are offered even less protection in the Hamburg system.
56064    Chancellor Condemns Berlin Lifestyle
56065    NEW BERLIN -- The Chancellor sharply criticized the black markets and cabarets that have become commonplace on New Berlin. "We must learn to live wholesome lives even in times of economic uncertainty and civil strife," he stated in the televised speech delivered yesterday. Many interpreted it as an attempt to address the planet's rapidly rising Cardamine problem, blamed by some on the Junkers.
56066    Today is Emperor Pausbeck s Day
56067    NEW BERLIN -- This Pausbeck s Day is of special significance because it marks the 500-year anniversary of the disaster that destroyed Muleheim. After spending millions to outfit the Ring with mirrors in the hopes of reflecting the sun s energy onto the dark side of New Berlin, Emperor Pausbeck s contraption fired a beam that was effectively an orbital laser strike on the city of Muleheim. Every year since it has become tradition to do something foolish for Pausbeck s Day, so what are you going to do?
56068    Fists Fly at Reichstag During Debate
56069    NEW BERLIN -- A fight broke out in the Reichstag Wednesday between Dresden and Hamburg representatives during debates over a resolution that Hamburg delegates brought to the floor. The resolution would force Dresden civilians to pay extra taxes to cover the costs of repairing damage to government facilities caused by Red Hessians. Representative Lukas of Dresden was arguing with Hamburg representative Fleischer when the dispute suddenly escalated; "Lukas screamed that the Hessians were Daumann's problem, not the fault of the people of Dresden; then he picked up his chair, and hit Fleischer with it,  said Rep. Weiss of New Berlin. "A moment later there was mayhem."
56070    Daumann Introduces New Weapon
56071    THE RING -- Daumann's weapons Research and Development Division announced that it had created a new Side Arm that would compete with the ever-popular Detroit Perforator. The new weapon will be called the Daumann Shredder, capable of firing extremely high velocity splinters made of depleted Uranium. The thousands of projectiles contained in a typical burst have been shredding targets in Daumann tests.
56072    More LWB Attacks
56073    DORTMUND -- The LWB managed to destroy another Paste convoy as it approached the Hamburg Jump Gate yesterday. The terrorists attacked the convoy from the Ruhrfeld, a notorious hiding place for criminals. Synth Foods is demanding that the Rheinland security forces send a ship into the old mining area to eliminate the criminal element within. Rheinland responded in an official release, stating that military and police budgets were stretched to the limit and that all of its forces were already deployed in other areas.
56074    Blue Diamonds: Red Hot Fashion
56075    DRESDEN -- The blue Diamonds mined at Kruger s Bautzen facility in Dresden have recently gained in popularity among the Rheinland super-rich. More top designers and jewelers are using the expensive rocks that have come to be known as Hessian Tears. Rebecca Daumann, daughter of the current CEO of the mega-corporation, is in many ways responsible for the stone s resurgence. She has been wearing them to all the largest galas and parties thrown in New Berlin, and her flawless fashion sense has captured the public s imagination.
56076    Junkers: Too much Trash?
56077    KREUZBERG -- The scavengers of Sirius who make their home in New Berlin are complaining that just because they are called Junkers doesn t mean that they will take anything. "People are bringing us their garbage and expecting us to trade for it," Otto Schumann reported. Apparently Rheinland s economic woes are affecting everyone, even the criminals. "I can t sell it to ALG like Scrap Metal, and these people are expecting me to trade them Food and Consumer Goods for it," Schumann later added.
56078    Bombs Destroy Republican Convoy
56079    HAMBURG - Republican lifter vehicles were filling the hold of the RSV Vonkar when an explosion ripped through the ship s hull, showering flaming debris in all directions. Moments later, two more bombs went off aboard the recently loaded RSV Valkyrie and Peter Schultz. More than one hundred seventy Republican employees were killed. Republican Shipping s standard practice of unloading foreign vessels and ferrying imported commodities through Rheinland space is now being questioned by those inside the company, sources reveal. Investigators claim that the bombs were most likely planted in cargo containers aboard ships in Liberty. Unioners have claimed responsibility for the bombing.
56080    Drug Ring Uncovered in Docks
56081    HAMBURG -- Dock loaders employed by Republican Shipping, working in the East Hamburg launch piers were detained yesterday and charged with distributing Cardamine. Republican claims that these men are Unioner operatives working to undermine the image of Republican Shipping. "The crimes that these men committed were reprehensible, and in no way represents the morality of other hard working Republican employees. We only hope that these criminals will be punished to the fullest extent of the law," a Republican spokesperson was quoted saying.
56082    Team Mascot Destroyed at Tourney
56083    HAMBURG -- The Hamburg Plasmaball team mascot, Zuggie the Juggernaut, met a violent end in Hamburg s playoff bout with the Colorado Eagles. Zuggie has been the Juggernaut s mascot for over two centuries, and though he was an old robot, his popularity was tremendous. Apparently, an overzealous Eagle fan smuggled a Detroit Landblaster into the arena. During the halftime show, just as Zuggie was finishing his act, a rocket flew from the stands and destroyed him. Rheinland Federal Police quickly gunned down the Liberty fan before anyone else could be hurt.
56084    Racing Banned within City Limits
56085    HAMBURG -- Twenty three employees of the accounting firm Junger and Prowst were killed and scores injured tonight in what officials are calling the worst tragedy ever resulting from skiff racing in Hamburg City. Four skiffs were racing on the third elevation deck of the north quadrant when one of the pilots lost control and barreled into an H-Fuel-laden transport. The transport s driver ejected just as the ship crashed into the thirty fourth floor of Junger and Prowst s main offices.
56086    Authorities Thwart Hessian Attack
56087    LUBECK -- Fighters were scrambled yesterday from the battleship Westfalen and Lubeck police base when reports came in of two Red Hessian squads near Altona. The military patrols encountered the Hessians first, north of the Sudheide. The two squads were identified as the 3rd and 4th belonging to the Broken Pick Brigade. Half of the pirates broke off to engage the military patrol while the others continued westward. Police intercepted the second group near Hannover. After several minutes of intense fighting the remaining Hessians fled.
56088    Professor Arrested for Terrorist Ties
56089    HAMBURG -- Professor Heinrich Klein was detained Saturday evening on charges of illegally aiding the Bundschuh terrorist movement. A student of his alerted the police to his criminal ties shortly after midterm examinations. The student claims, "Klein tried to indoctrinate me in the Bundschuh philosophy during our talks after class." While being an intellectual supporter of the organization is not illegal, police investigations revealed that Klein was laundering funds received from the sale of Bundschuh stolen goods.
56090    Twelve Killed in Prison Escape
56091    VIERLANDE -- Four convicted Red Hessian pirates attempted an escape from the prison ship Vierlande. The inmates overpowered a guard and took his access keys, making their way to the ship s armory. After arming themselves they fought their way to an airlock, killing seven more guards. One guard who fought the Hessians said, "It seemed like they were waiting for somebody to come and pick them up, but no one ever did." Out of ammunition and out of hope, the inmates blew the emergency hatch on the airlock in an unsuccessful attempt to decompress the deck. All four were sucked into the void.
56092    Celebrity Endorses Glitzy Cabaret
56093    HAMBURG -- Erika Muller is opening a new cabaret in the heart of Hamburg s industrial district. The famous singer will be performing in an effort to boost attendances for the grand opening of the cabaret named "The Bomb," which is scheduled to open next week. Audiences are expected to come from throughout the system. Muller hasn t made a personal appearance in over three years, having isolated herself from the public after the death of her husband, the late Captain Hans Muller of Lubeck Station. Captain Muller was thrust into the limelight after rescuing Erika s ship from Red Hessians several years ago.
56094    Opinion Divided on Latest Tax Law
56095    NEW BERLIN -- The Rheinland government announced that the old tax codes are being thrown out and rewritten. "We are going to start from scratch," an anonymous government source reported. Many of Rheinland s citizens feel that the taxes imposed upon them are unfair in light of the economic turmoil facing the colony, and the Reichstag agrees. There are still skeptics out there, but who can blame them? "I ve heard this all before," one interviewee uttered. This will be the third time in four years that the tax code has been revised.
56096    Farmers Singing the Blues
56097    STUTTGART -- Independent farmers on Stuttgart have been sending complaints to New Berlin again. This time it's not about swine or squeloms, but blue jillies. The native Stuttgart flower has had yet another bad growing season. The farmers contend that the culprit is the Synth Foods sponsored CO2 enhancement project that began three decades ago. Synth Foods was not available for comment.
56098    Fanning the Flames in Stuttgart
56099    STUTTGART -- 50 Luxury resort condominiums in the city of Wertheim were destroyed last night in a spectacular blaze. Despite the timely response of the WVS, the villas were declared a total loss early this morning by fire marshal Herbert. Many locals are turning a narrow eye to the Liberty corporation Orbital Spa and Cruise Lines. The independent Rheinland-run resort was Orbital s main competition in Stuttgart. The project s owner, Johann Schneider, had this to say, "This tragedy comes just two weeks after I refused an Orbital offer to buy my property at below market value. It seems like too great a coincidence to be just bad luck."
56100    WVS Ejects LWB Sympathizers
56101    STUTTGART -- A group of sixteen farmers from the Reichmann Plains chapter of the WVS were ejected from the organization after the discovery that they were funneling money to the LWB. WVS representative James Tomlinson said, "We can t have our people supporting terrorists -- it is just unethical." The farmers thrown out of the growing association have made claims that the WVS is under Synth Foods control since the Rheinland government forced out the old board members.
56102    Trouble in Paradise
56103    BADEN-BADEN -- Orbital Spa and Cruise Line's luxury liner Baden-Baden is posting record losses this quarter. Orbital representatives are blaming the declining Rheinland economy for the unexpected revenue shortfall. "We have resorts throughout Sirius, but Baden-Baden is the only unprofitable facility," said Orbital s Executive Vice President of Operations, Bill Johnson. To make up for the losses there has been talk of shipping in Liberty econo-class tourists to the resort. Many Stuttgart citizens who believe that there is enough Liberty presence in the system already picketed the Orbital office on Monday.
56104    Famous Hessian Spotted near Resort
56105    BADEN-BADEN -- Red Hessian brigade commander Franz Steiner was spotted yesterday just east of Baden-Baden headed towards the Ostnebel. The shipping convoy s captain, Ulrich Lumarcke, who spotted Steiner, said he breathed a sigh of relief when the infamous pirate escorted by two other Hessians kept flying right past his ship. "They must have had full holds, because they didn t even bother to scan me. I m lucky they didn t attack anyway -- I ve seen 'em do that." Federal Police were alerted, but by the time they arrived in the area, Steiner and his wingmen had disappeared.
56106    Daumann Family Targeted in Raid
56107    STUTTGART -- Two luxury-class transports headed to Baden-Baden with New Berlin s social elite were attacked and destroyed Monday by half of a Red Hessian brigade. There were no survivors of the disaster. "This was a planned strike," Federal Police Captain Roland Bals admitted to the press. The Daumann family members aboard one of the destroyed transports were presumed to be the primary target of the vicious attack.
56108    2 Killed in Furgen Ranch Blast
56109    STUTTGART -- Independent Rheinland beef rancher Karl Furgen, who was supposedly killed several months ago, might still be alive. Synth Foods employees say that they recognized him as he was boarding an escape vessel after trespassing on his property, which Synth Foods recently seized. Moments after his ship took off, a bomb ripped through the center of the ranch s main buildings. Two Synth Foods employees were killed in the blast, and three more have been hospitalized.
56110    Diamond Shipment Attacked
56111    DRESDEN -- The Trade Lane between the New Berlin Jump Gate and the Kruger mining station Bautzen was the site of a major Red Hessian attack yesterday. Security was especially tight, but the Red Hessians knew it was coming and hit hard. Kruger, anticipating a possible ambush, had hired several Freelancers and Bounty Hunters to protect the Diamond shipment. Luckily, these precautions paid off, and the convoy made it safely to New Berlin.
56112    GMG No Longer a Threat
56113    FRANKFURT -- It looks like the GMG probes into the Frankfurt system might finally be a thing of the past. Since the end of the Eighty Years War, the GMG have periodically launched raids against the Kruger owned Mannheim H-fuel facility. The Fulda Border Station has reported no GMG activity during the last several years. Although this is a good news for Frankfurt, it is unlikely that many people will ever populate the nearly deserted system.
56114    Synth Foods Convoys Collide
56115    STUTTGART -- In its most daring attack to date, the LWB attacked two Synth Foods convoys traveling in opposite directions along the Trade Lanes between the New Berlin Jump Gate and planet Stuttgart. "Next thing you know we ve got four inbound missiles headed right for us," said one of the transport gunners, Karl Gruber. Both ships dropped out of the Lanes to find themselves surrounded by the largest LWB force yet assembled. The momentum of the fast-moving transports in the Trade Lanes caused several ships to collide before they could undertake evasive maneuvers. This is a well-known Hessian tactic that the LWB have apparently adopted.
56116    Museum Opens New Exhibit
56117    NEW LONDON - The National History Archives in association with the Royal Bretonian Historical Society have created a new exhibit focused on raising the New Londonite s awareness of growth and development on the planet over the past eight centuries. Archive photos will be on display from as far back as the Bretonia Sleeper Ship s scouting surveys of the planet s surface before colonization. From the rolling hills of violet grasses that covered the planet s landscapes, to the construction of the Southampton Shipyards, the exhibit will present all who visit a chance to look upon our past.
56118    Planet Wide Clean-Up Proposed
56119    NEW LONDON - Green Front-backed Representatives in Parliament have put forward a resolution to initiate a massive clean-up of New London. The representatives focused upon the improvement of the quality of life that New Londonite s currently lead. "I can t go outside in the rain because prolonged exposure to the acidic water can cause health problems," said Terence Wimberley, one of the writers of the resolution. The piece of legislation, if it passes in parliament, will be the most ambitious project yet undertaken to reverse the effects of New London s accelerated industrialization
56120    Son of Aristocrat Arrested
56121    NORTH SOMERSET -- Nathaniel Carrington, son of Lord Phillip Carrington, will be spending some time in the Fuller Rehabilitation Facilities after his arrest for the possession of Cardamine. Nathaniel was stopped by a police patrol last Wednesday in north Somerset when they witnessed his skiff collide with a light pole. "I was worried for the safety of the lads in the speeder," Constable Cochrane said when he realized who he had arrested. The Cardamine found in the skiff was enough to earn Nathaniel a four-year sentence, but the judge reduced it to six months rehabilitation since it was Carrington s first offense.
56122    Famous Bounty Hunter Dies
56123    SHROPSHIRE -- Emma Harris, one of Bretonia s most successful Bounty Hunters, passed away at her estate on Sunday evening. From humble beginnings, Harris became renowned for her incredible skill as a pilot, including her daring tactics. She was catapulted to fame when she killed five Mollys single handedly and captured one of their top leaders, Seamus O Riordan. Harris amassed great personal wealth from hunting and retired at the age of 57. Never one to sit still, Harris began a crusade against what she called "the social bigotry of our society."
56124    Bretonia s Greatest Threat
56125    KENSINGTON -- Ever since the Corsairs arrived in Bretonian space, they have brought nothing with them but crime, murder, and piracy. Their recent infestation in this system has caused untold death and destruction in the formerly peaceful colony of Bretonia. Corsair murders often lack any clear motive, unlike the political assassinations that are the trademark of the Mollys. Corsairs are motivated by simple greed, with a startling lack of compassion for human life. The scourge of southern Sirius often carries Alien Artifacts. If your ship is attacked by Corsairs, your best option is to drop any valuables you have and head towards the nearest Police Authority post as quickly as possible.
56126    BMM Executive Meets Violent End
56127    THAMES -- Quincy Pierce, Executive Vice President of Labor Relations for BMM and father of two, was found dead on Thursday. Molly assassins penetrated security at Thames Outpost late Wednesday night and made their way to Pierce's office. The VP was often known to work late, and the Mollys used this information to strike. They killed him with a blow to the head by a pick axe that was left in the office. The murderers also left some fools gold, the Mollys infamous and gruesome calling card, in the executive s pocket.
56128    Five Killed in Canterbury Attack
56129    CANTERBURY -- Planetform s New London base. Canterbury, was the victim of a small raid by Gaians yesterday. The station itself suffered minimal damage, but an inbound personnel transport was destroyed as it attempted to dock. Bounty Hunters at the station scrambled immediately and pursued the three Gaian ships as they fled. The five killed were low-level Planetform employees, so the attack was likely nothing more than a random strike. This marks the fifth Gaian strike in the last month. Authorities are concerned that the eco-terrorist threat could be growing.
56130    The Queen Celebrates Her Birthday
56131    NEW LONDON -- Our Royal Highness will be enjoying her 37th birthday next month, and preparations are underway for a gala of spectacular proportions to celebrate the grand event. New London society is busy preparing itself for the grand occasion; clothiers, jewelers, and goldsmiths are backlogged with orders. Socialites from all over Bretonia have already made arrangements to visit the capitol for the affair, making it nearly impossible to find decent lodgings. The Queen says that she wishes the festivities to be elegant but simple, but it looks like her admirers have another idea.
56132    Hackers Avoid Capture Yet Again
56133    KINGSTON -- Two days ago the Lane Hackers seized a Bowex Gold shipment headed for Liberty space and disappeared before authorities could get to them. The Hackers are known for their advanced technology that allows them to strike with stunning accuracy at the most valuable ship convoys. This attack was no different. IC is posting mammoth rewards for the live capture of any Lane Hacker, and many Bounty Hunters are getting ready to try and collect. As of yet the well financed pirate organization has been too slippery to let one of its own be captured alive.
56134    Outcast Plague Blamed on Liberty
56135    SHEFFIELD STATION -- A recent study funded by Bowex has shown that the majority of Outcasts that travel through Bretonia are trying to pass through to Liberty, where they sell their narcotic Cardamine into the black markets. "The damage they do here is circumstantial. They are criminals, so they have no qualms about piracy, but there is nothing drawing them to Bretonia in particular, except the path to Liberty," researcher Alistair Jordan stated in a special press conference held on the station. Unfortunately, these findings do not diminish the effect that Outcasts have had in Manchester.
56136    BMM Transport Slams into Asteroid
56137    BIRMINGHAM -- Traffic along the Trade Lanes between Birmingham Station and the Cortez Jump Gate came to a halt Thursday when a very large ice asteroid drifted into the Lane. The BMM Freighter Clayton was destroyed when it collided with the itinerant chunk of ice while traveling at high speed. Police vessels from Kingston responded promptly, and the Lane was shut down until the asteroid could be cleared. The delay backed up ships on the vital Bretonia to Liberty commercial route for several hours. BMM later lodged an official complaint with the police for failure to maintain the safety of this passage.
56138    Annual Sheffield Festival a Success
56139    SHEFFIELD -- The Interstellar Beer and Ale Festival held each year at Sheffield was once again a huge success, with only two deaths and 22 injuries reported during the four-day festival. William Cartwright and James McFee were both killed in deathmatch keg-stand competitions, while several others were injured. The majority of injuries came from the enormous brawls that occur during the height of the festival. Rheinland s XXX Nova Bock took first prize from the judges this year.
56140    Another Prison in Manchester?
56141    MANCHESTER -- It looks like there may be a need to build another prison facility in addition to the infamous Newgate Prison in Manchester. Planners are just speculating right now, but it is more than likely that if a second penitentiary is added, it will built adjacent to the first national prison ship. The belief is that it will be more efficient to protect the two facilities if they are in close proximity to each other. Projections show that the Newgate population will be at twice its intended capacity within ten years if current trends hold.
56142    Record Wheat Harvest
56143    CAMBRIDGE -- The Cambridge Regents were proud to announce today that the crop yield for wheat was twenty percent greater than last year s. Royal Academy of Arts and Sciences (RAAS) Chairholder Walter Bunbury attributes the bumper crop to a new farming technique that was recently developed at Cambridge University s School of Agrarian Sciences. "We are very excited about this breakthrough, and look forward to selling this new technology to other farming operations throughout Sirius," said Bunbury, who announced the good news on behalf of the Regents.
56144    Alien Artifacts to Stay in Cambridge
56145    CAMBRIDGE -- University of Cambridge s Head of Xenoarcheology, Anne Dixon, petitioned the Board of Regents to reject the Crown s decree that requires the confiscation of all Alien Artifacts by the government. The board accepted the professor s proposal and issued a statement insisting that Alien Artifacts under the university s control be left in the hands of scientific research. "This decision by the Crown to follow Liberty s mandate without question is disturbing news to us," said Dixon s aid, Gill Bellington.
56146    Regents Expel Corporate Recruiters
56147    CAMBRIDGE -- Representatives from BMM and Planetform, Inc. are back on transports orbiting the planet after their expulsion from the University by the Cambridge Board of Regents. "Their presence here was a disruption to studies," said Roger Tarrywell, who issued the order on behalf of the regents. When questioned about the possible link between the corporate visitors on the planet and the fire at the Green Front offices, Tarrywell offered no comment, other than to say, "I am not authorized to speak upon what can only be pure speculation."
56148    Heroes of Norfolk Foil Corsairs
56149    NORFOLK -- Bretonian military personnel won a battle today against evil when a naval patrol intercepted a flight of Corsairs headed south through the Keswick Ice Cloud. Though they were outnumbered and outgunned, Lt. William Longfield and Captain Jane Gilliam were able to destroy five Corsair ships, allowing only one to escape into the Grasmere Ice Cloud. Their valorous effort has been recognized in the halls of New London, and both pilots will be recognized next week for their heroic deeds.
56150    Cavaliers Victorious Over the Herons
56151    CAMBRIDGE FIELDS -- Cambridge fans are still celebrating the defeat of the Hokkaido Herons two nights ago, which allows Cambridge to move ahead in the playoffs. Next week the team will face the Colorado Eagles to decide who will enter the Plasmaball Finals. The winner of this last match was originally slated to play California, but the recent loss of the Marauders  center and stun forward has allowed the team a bye week as it scrambles to replace from waivers its fallen team members. The two athletes were killed when their luxury transport was attacked and destroyed by Outcast raiders.
56152    Green Front Office Destroyed in Fire
56153    CAMBRIDGE -- Arson is suspected in a fire that claimed the lives of two Cambridge University students last night. The fire broke out late in the evening at the headquarters of The Green Front, a lobbying organization that represents Cambridge interests in New London. Located within walking distance of the Cambridge University, the Green Front is composed almost entirely of professors and volunteer students. Two student volunteers perished in the rapidly spreading blaze that took several hours for firefighters to bring under control. "Their loss is a terrible tragedy," said Professor Willingham, who issued a statement this morning for the Green Front.
56154    Cambridge Line Scores Direct Hit
56155    NORFOLK -- A Rheinland freighter was destroyed Saturday by a malfunctioning weapons platform along the Cambridge Line, a system-defense grid along the eastern side of the Trade Lanes leading to the planet. The RSV Heilbronn s engine reactor was hit by a missile, causing the nuclear core to destabilize and explode. The Rheinland government and Republican Shipping demanded an explanation for the incident. The Crown responded with a statement of deep regret for the accident and sent its condolences to the grieving families of the crew. Aged wiring is believed to be the cause of the platform malfunction.
56156    A Constant Threat
56157    DUBLIN -- The Mollys have issued a new warning for the Bretonian government. In this most recent message the criminal organization stated that if Dublin wasn't given over to Molly control and royal forces evacuated immediately, a major disaster would befall the Bretonian capitol. Bretonian Defense Minister Jonathon Long downplayed the warning, "It will take more than empty threats and pilfered Gold to remove our presence from Dublin."
56158    BMM Leaves a Bad Taste
56159    LEEDS -- BMM came under fire last week when it was discovered that the free food distributed to employees working on the planet is of substandard quality, normally used as livestock feed on Cambridge. Workers were further enraged when they heard this comment from a BMM executive, "We never thought it was an issue since most of our planetside labor lost their ability to taste and smell after the first year or two on Leeds."
56160    Massive Mineshaft Collapse Kills 192
56161    SETTLEMENT 483 -- The honeycombed surface just south of Mining Settlement 483 collapsed yesterday in what is believed to be one of the worst mineshaft cave-ins in Leeds' history. The residents of 483 were awakened near midnight by tremors and rumbling. "Next thing you know my entire living complex was falling. Most of my neighbors are dead," a dazed Giles Chamberlain reported from his hospital bed. Investigators have cited over-mining in the area as the cause.
56162    BMM Pressured to Clean up Dump
56163    SETTLEMENT 9171 -- The residents of Mining Settlement 9171 are lodging an official complaint with the Bretonian Government today. It was recently discovered that the newly established settlement is situated on a centuries old toxic waste dump. Already there are reports of widespread sickness and some deaths. BMM built 9171 when it was discovered that there were previously unexploited copper deposits far below the surface. "The reason nobody did any digging around here was because of the toxic waste dump. BMM just figured they wouldn t let that stop them anymore," stated Brian Roberts, a resident of 9171.
56164    Mollys Captured Aboard LD-14
56165    LD-14 -- The security screening process that an individual must go through to work at the LD-14 MOX processing facility is rigorous, but recent events have shown that these measures may still be inadequate. Two Molly operatives where captured Wednesday as they attempted to transmit coded messages from a long-range mobile communicator aboard LD-14. Under interrogation the men reported that they had been coerced by Molly agents to transmit shipping schedules and cargo manifests. Both men have been detained on the battleship York until sentencing next week.
56166    Life Expectancy up in Leeds
56167    LEEDS -- The Royal Census Bureau reported that the average life expectancy of a Leeds resident has improved since the last census was tallied 20 years ago. A female on the planet can expect to live 1.2 years longer on average. The number also increased for residents within the system,, though less significantly, with a boost of .8 years. The Bureau attributes the better numbers to a stricter interpretation of the Laws of Labor Safety that were recently instituted by the Crown. The new average life span for a person on Leeds is 51, and for those in the system, 67.
56168    BMM has Eye on the Border Worlds
56169    STOKES -- It is no secret that Leeds and the Stokes Field have almost been completely mined out. This is disturbing news for BMM officials who must begin to look elsewhere for the raw materials needed to fuel Bretonian industry. BMM executives have already begun searching for new sources of material and have met with some success in the Border Worlds. "Unfortunately, these systems beyond the edge of Bretonian rule are very dangerous to operate in, therefore incurring far greater security costs," said BMM representative Patrick Chamberlain.
56170    Fugitive Escapes Bounty Hunter Trap
56171    DURHAM -- Ruthless murderer, pirate, and drug smuggler Santiago Llorens hijacked another Diamond shipment bound for Leeds from New London. This last attack was supposed to be his last according to the statements of the two Guild master Bounty Hunters contracted by IC to dispatch Llorens. It was the Hunters  plan to lure the Outcast into a trap, but their strategy backfired when Santiago killed one of the guild masters and four of their support Hunters as he fought his way through the ambush. The second master Hunter has disappeared into the Border Worlds after him.
56172    A New Regent for Cambridge
56173    CAMBRIDGE - In a shocking move, Lord Arthur Braintree announced his retirement from the Cambridge University's Board of Regents yesterday. He cited health problems and a want to: "spend [his] winter amongst family." This means that a new professor will be chosen by the current regents and the college of professors to ascend to regency. This position is one of great power in Cambridge, and many say the regents are nearly as powerful as the crown in many respects. There are many possible candidates, but no date has been set for the academic games which will weed-out the less worthy scholars.
56174    Gaians Delay Ayr Terraforming Effort
56175    EDINBURGH -- New London has asked the Canterbury based company to provide tangible evidence of its progress in all terraforming efforts following the latest funding request by the troubled Ayr operation. Officials at Planetform blamed the Gaians for causing the Ayr terraforming project to fall so disastrously behind schedule. "The constant attacks that we suffer from the terrorists have created many unanticipated delays" said William Hendershank, a Planetform executive. The Green Front has called for a full government audit of the Ayr and Harris projects.
56176    Hogosha Seen with Finance Minister
56177    NEW TOKYO -- Top Hogosha Boss Ito Lei was spotted dining at a private table with Finance Minister Hiro Tanaka at New Tokyo's exclusive seafood restaurant Junyo Market last week.

The Hogosha boss paid the bill.
56178    Youth Eating up Synth Paste
56179    NEW TOKYO -- The hardworking farmers of Kyushu would be sorry to see the number of Kusari youth buying foreign foods these days. It looks like the newest trend is Synth Paste. Many of new Tokyo's young and hip are attracted to the Liberty corporation's new flavors that were specifically designed for the Kusari market. Among the choices are flavors like Golden Squid and Green Sea.
56180    What's Wrong with Artifacts?
56181    NEW TOKYO -- Many private Artifact dealers are going out of business because of Liberty's newest Sirius-wide campaign against Artifacts. A recent poll shows that 82 percent of the New Tokyo populace regards the ban on the Artifact trade as unnecessary and ridiculous. "We are the only ones suffering," remarked Hayato Fujimoto, a New Tokyo Artifact dealer who has filed for bankruptcy. "Everyone is still buying just as many Artifacts, but with our government bowing to the foreigners' demands we can no longer do it openly, so legitimate business suffers."
56182    Cardamine Sweeping the Capitol
56183    ROPPONGI -- The foreign presence in Roppongi has always been viewed as a necessary evil, but Kusari citizens are now facing a new threat to the moral fiber of Kusari.. Cardamine from Roppongi has appeared on our home planet. Many New Tokyo youths flock to the bars and discos of Roppongi, where they are exposed to Cardamine and other corrupting influences of the foreigners. "My son is strictly forbidden from visiting that lair of miscreants, yet I found out that he has been going without my knowledge," said father Jin Takashi.
56184    Pirates Murder Liberty Crew
56185    IZU -- A Synth Foods transport ship was destroyed and all hands lost last week when the Farmers Alliance staged one of their most vicious attacks. The transport was passing Izu Moon when Alliance ships engaged it. According to recorded communications, the Paste transport surrendered and was expelling cargo when the Alliance vessels opened fire.

Shortly after the attack, Synth Foods responded by cutting prices on its most popular brands in Tokyo, further increasing pressure on Kyushu food growers.
56186    Kishiro and Samura in Court
56187    SHINJUKU -- Kishiro filed a suit against Samura yesterday, accusing the giant Shinjuku conglomerate of purchasing goods that had been stolen from Kishiro depots. "These items were discovered by a State Police customs inspector that performed a routine scan of a Samura transport bound for Yokohama.

56188    Strife at Narita
56189    NARITA -- Republican Shipping has lodged an official complaint against the Kusari government for what it calls "& a complete lack of concern over the damage being done to foreign shipping by open piracy& " The Rheinland corporation and several others are concerned about the number of attacks their vessels have undergone in Kusari near their shipping destination, specifically Narita.

56192    Shikoku Crime Wave Hits Workers
56193    JUNYO -- Many of Junyo's workers are threatening to leave the planetside seafood farms if something is not done about the ever increasing crime rates in Shikoku. The system is infamous for its prison and the foreigners' base at Deshima. A large percentage of the employees who work on Junyo are forced to live at Deshima because of housing costs on the Junyo platforms and the lack of alternatives to the Bounty Hunter-owned base. "I don't like being worried every time my transport enters the Trade Lanes," quoted one fish farmer about his commute.
56194    Prison Revolt Suppressed
56195    FUCHU -- Thanks to immediate action on the part of the Kusari Police stationed at Fuchu prison, a small revolt that could have ended in a major catastrophe was avoided. A group of 17 foreign prisoners captured a weapon from three guards in a prison wing and took several other guards hostage. They then released other inmates and barricaded themselves in. The convicts had the supplies to withstand a siege for some time, so prison officials decompressed the area, killing all within. "The guards were probably already dead, so we did what was necessary," quoted the warden.

56197    DESHIMA -- Liberty native Bounty Hunter Bill Parker will stand trial for manslaughter and criminal negligence next week for the slaying of two unarmed civilians aboard Deshima Station.

56198    Explosion in Bio-Dome Injures Two
56199    DESHIMA -- It is believed that Farmers Alliance operatives planted the bomb that destroyed a portion of Deshima's cellulose crop on Tuesday of last week. The bomb blast also seriously wounded two biodome tenders and caused minor injuries to 15 more.

"Those who did this will be found and punished severely," said Bounty Hunter Ken Wallace.
56200    GC Popular with Younger Women
56201    NEW TOKYO -- An independent news organization conducted a secret poll recently and discovered some surprising results. It appears that three quarters of the female population in New Tokyo under the age of thirty support the actions of the terrorist group Golden Chrysanthemums. Many of those questioned in the polls stated that they believe what the Golden C. are doing is best for Kusari in the long run. Government sources responded to the findings in an official statement, "Since the terrorist organization began operations Cardamine abuse is up 200 percent, and piracy is up 29 percent."
56202    Alliance Candidate Ahead in Polls
56203    KYUSHU -- Many have been surprised by Farmers Alliance-backed gubernatorial candidate for Kyushu Hakita Toho's popularity and strength in the polls. It appears that Toho has a strong lead over current governor and incumbent Hitoshi Sasaki. Toho has been electrifying his audiences at rallies in the past two months, and now it looks like all that leg work is starting to pay off. The elections will be held within the next two weeks, and everyone is watching to see who will emerge as the new leader of Kyushu.
56204    Samura CEO Visits Kyushu
56205    KYUSHU -- The current head of Samura Industries honored the people of Kyushu during his visit to the garden planet last week.

He praised the work ethic of the laborers within Kyushu, citing their dedication and honorable family values. He stated, "Samura is blessed by all those here that have contributed so much to the strength of our great company and to all of Kusari."
56206    Kyushu Land Values Plummeting
56207    KYUSHU -- The price of land on Kyushu has been dropping steeply recently. The real estate industry attributes the decline to so many people leaving the planet to make their futures in New Tokyo or Honshu. This migration includes primarily the younger segment of the population, but some older families are among the outflow as well. Many local residents blame Synth Foods and its low-cost foods that are enjoying such popularity in New Tokyo and Honshu. "If those fools in New Tokyo wouldn't buy the Paste, then Synth would leave Kusari and my son would still be here," said farmer Hisaki Okimoto.
56208    Nansei Accident Kills 102
56209    NANSEI -- Antimatter is suspected as the cause of a horrific explosion that rocked the Nansei Research Station yesterday.

56210    Unemployment Hits 30 Year High
56211    KYUSHU -- It is a bleak time for the residents of Kyushu. The planet and the system are suffering through one of the worst periods of unemployment in its history.

56214    Blood Dragons Attack Again
56215    TSUSHIMA -- The ice mining facilities at Tsushima have suffered another devastating attack at the hands of the Blood Dragons. The terrorists made their move last week at the end of the day when the miners were cycling down and returning to the station. Six miners were killed and many more wounded as the transports tried to run back to the station amid weapon salvos. This is the fifth Blood Dragon attack in the past three weeks, and many are wondering if the battleship Nagumo is any deterrent at all.
56216    Blood Dragon Threat Diminishes
56217    NEW TOKYO -- According to statistics and information gathered by the Kusari Military Intelligence Bureau; Blood Dragon activities are inexorably being purged from Kusari space, and the total number of the cursed pirates is declining. "It has been a hard-fought battle, but we are winning the war against evil," quoted Admiral Nobu, head of the Intelligence Bureau. There are skeptics who say that these reports may be inaccurate since the actual number of Blood Dragon attacks has not diminished in recent years.
56218    Factories Operating at Full Capacity
56219    HONSHU -- Manufacturing facilities are booming in Honshu. "Everyone is working, and the new positions that pop up each day are filled immediately. Our employees are doing very well," said Tomoko Hatori, a Kishiro public relations director. Kishiro is running the facility on three shifts so that the factories can produce nonstop. Many ex-Samura employees have come into the system from Kyushu looking for jobs, but Kishiro stated in an official release that they would first hire Honshu natives before taking in any Kyushu immigrants.
56220    GMG Coming Home
56221    HONSHU -- With the advancements in ship engineering and Trade Lanes, it is no longer necessary for Nebula gas miners to be away for years at a time. A recent trend among some of the GMG is to establish residence on Honshu as a home away from their usual haunts in the Sigma systems. Honshu residents have mixed feelings. "Why should we be glad about them coming back?" asked one Honshu native. Another spoke differently, "I'm honored that these men and women have returned to their homeland, if only for part of the time."
56222    Hogosha Boss Murdered
56223    HONSHU -- A high-ranking member of the Hogosha crime syndicate was found dead in his Honshu hotel room early today. Police Detectives believe that the boss was beaten to death with an Alien Artifact found in his hand. They later added that his two bodyguards were also killed in the pre-dawn incident.

56224    Corsairs in Honshu
56225    AKITA -- State Police patrol craft spotted Corsairs in the Hiryo Cloud traveling north towards the Chuyu. The patrol hailed the pirates, but when they did not respond, the police engaged them. Almost immediately a police ship was destroyed, and the remaining three sent distress calls for backup. One of the Corsairs is believed to be the infamous Rosita Garcia, known for her daring attacks and incredible skill as a pilot. Four more ships were scrambled from Akita and assisted the wounded police craft as they fled back to the base. Neither Corsair was captured or destroyed.
56226    Osaka Negotiations Deadlocked
56227    OSAKA -- After the third week of talks it looks like Samura and the GMG cannot find common ground in negotiating future gas mining contracts. Samura representatives are not accepting the elevated prices that the GMG has proposed for business between the two entities. "The prices they are asking for are much higher than what we are paying in the current contracts," said one Samura source. The GMG has argued that it is becoming more expensive to mine gas since its ships must go further afield looking for new gas sources.
56228    GMG Announces Plan for Sigma-19
56229    AOMORI -- Kishiro has been awarded the new GMG contract to build an addition to the Ogashawa Mining Station in Sigma-19. There have been rumors that the expansion will double the current size of Ogashawa, surpassing the Osaka facility's capacity. Many speculate that this is a major step for the GMG away from their centuries-old relationship with Samura. When questioned about a new GMG partnership, Kishiro sources responded, "Kishiro has been hired by the GMG to help build the station's new wing;. no other contracts have been made. Anything else is hearsay,"
56230    Yukawa Posts Record Earnings
56231    YUKAWA -- Yukawa Shipyards, home of Kishiro's famous Civilian Class spacecraft, is reporting record profits this quarter. "We are very excited about what this means for our company and shipbuilding in Kusari," said Kazu Noda, Kishiro master ship builder. Many are beginning to question who will emerge as the dominant Kusari corporation in the coming years, especially if things continue to develop as they have of late. Samura s long reign as largest corporation in the Sirius Sector may be over.
56232    Hawaii Popular among Kusari Youth
56233    HAWAII -- The lure of the Border Worlds has captured the imaginations of youth throughout Kusari. The hottest ticket this year is the Hawaii, Orbital Spa and Cruise Line's luxury liner.

Many parents are worried that the Border Worlds may be too dangerous to visit, but representatives from Orbital have reassured the public that safety is of paramount concern.
56234    Tensions Run High among Shippers
56235    GALILEO - Interspace Commerce reports that damage claims have increased two fold during the past twelve months in Galileo as shippers of the two houses use underhanded methods to sabotage competitors  ships in the lightly patrolled Independent Worlds. The illegal behavior has been increasing steadily since Synth Foods was first granted access to Kusari food markets more than a decade ago.
56236    IC Hikes IW Cargo Rates
56237    GALILEO -- Shipping insurance giant IC has once again raised premiums on cargoes traveling through the Independent Worlds. Company executives claim that without additional military protection they can no longer assume the costs of lost cargo, given the current rate structure. They also specifically cited the inability of the Kusari military to properly secure the safety of vessels near the Shikoku Jump Gate. The Kusari government and Samura condemned the action, asserting that Liberty criminals inhabiting those areas were responsible for the bulk of the recent insured losses.
56238    Famous Kepler Storm no Hoax?
56239    KEPLER -- The phantom dark matter storm that was estimated to hit the Kepler system in 730 AS has yet to arrive, and most people don't believe it ever will. But many residents of the Ames Research Station and some scientists in Liberty space still believe it may be a real possibility. Ageira scientists believed that a storm passing through Kepler would destroy everything within the system. This was the justification used by company executives to convince the Liberty government to build the auxiliary Trade Lane routes and Jump Gates through Galileo. The ensuing scandal fueled the growth of the Lane Hacker criminal organization.
56240    Kusari Traces IW Pirates to Liberty
56241    KEPLER -- In a blunt communication sent to Manhattan from New Tokyo, the Kusari government blamed Liberty for the pirate troubles in the Independent Worlds between the two Houses. The key to their claim is the number of area pirates that can be traced to Colorado or other Liberty systems. Manhattan issued a terse reply to sum up Liberty's official position. The Independent Worlds are not the territory of either House, and therefore any pirates who operate in that area are not the personal responsibility of Liberty's government.
56242    Piracy Costs Millions Annually
56243    CORTEZ -- IC has released numbers detailing the credit amount of shipping losses incurred each year by the three criminal groups that populate the system. According to IC statistics the Lane Hackers are responsible for the greatest loss in profits of stolen goods. The Liberty Rogues account for the most strikes undertaken, and the Outcasts kill more than both of the other two groups combined. "These numbers are very disconcerting, and obviously more must be done to stop the perpetrators of these terrible crimes," said Raymond Green, an IC representative.
56244    Criminals on Curacao?
56245    CURACAO -- Orbital Spa and Cruise Lines responded vehemently to the claim made by a Liberty Security Forces report, which stated that Lane Hackers had occasionally been spotted at the Curacao resort in the Cortez Border World. The report also inferred that some Orbital staff aware of the infrequent Lane Hacker visits looked the other way because of potential profits from vacationing pirates aboard the base. "This accusation is an outrage," said an anonymous Orbital executive. "If it were a private organization making such claims, our lawyers would be preparing for a libel suit."
56246    Hackers Help Outcasts Elude Fate
56247    MAGELLAN -- A military patrol witnessed a strange example of fraternity between criminal factions last week when Lane Hackers came to the rescue of a badly damaged Outcast ship. The patrol came upon a single Outcast and damaged his craft considerably, but before they could finish him off four Lane Hacker ships swept in and fended off the patrol until the Outcast's nanobots got the engines going again. The Hackers provided cover for the ship until the pilot escaped, and then they retreated into the Barrier Ice Cloud.
56248    New York Proposes New Patrols
56249    MANHATTAN -- The Liberty Navy announced today that it will soon extend its patrol routes to include the previously unprotected stretches of Trade Lanes extending into the Barrier Clouds east of Freeport 4 and Curacao. New London has supported the move, noting that the Bretonia security forces will be unable to fulfill their patrol duties in the Independent Worlds for some time to come. Observers of the situation remarked that the Bretonia Armed Forces is more concerned with possible Molly attacks on New London than rampant piracy outside of its frontiers.
56250    Liberty Outlaws Aid to Criminals
56251    BERING -- Liberty has long accused Zoners of what it called "aiding and abetting felonious criminal elements." In the new law signed yesterday by the President, any Zoners who sell goods or services to any criminal group have broken Liberty law and therefore are criminals themselves. Though Liberty said it would not pursue anyone in the Border Worlds for this new crime, criminals will be arrested if they enter Liberty space. A Zoner spokesman replied, "It's that type of foolishness that drove us away from that police state called Liberty."
56252    Crime Levels Similar in IW Systems
56253    BERING -- Both Rheinland and Liberty shippers have been looking for a means of safe passage between their two Houses for as long as anyone can remember, but there is no easy answer. Shipping has been increasing in Bering since the crime rates began to climb in Hudson, but according to IC statistics, one system is just as dangerous as the other. "Either way your shipments have the same likelihood of being pirated. -- it just becomes a matter of who you want your pirates to be," quipped Fred Masters, IC rate adjustor.
56254    Planetform Will not Return to Hudson
56255    HUDSON -- Planetform, Inc has refused Liberty s request to resurvey planet Atka for terraforming appraisals and estimates. The Bretonian company responded directly to New York s latest overture with an official memo stating, "Planetform can see no reason to endanger the lives of its employees or allow the possibility of damage to valuable equipment. If Liberty can guarantee the safety of the Independent World system for the passage of a second survey ship, then preparations will commence. Until then it is an impossibility." Planetform lost one of its ships to Xenos the last time it entered Hudson.
56256    Hudson: Soon to be part of Liberty?
56257    MANHATTAN -- Rheinland officials emerged from closed-door meetings with the Liberty government confident that a compromise can be announced shortly regarding Liberty s desire to annex the Hudson system. A source close to the negotiations confided that merely defining the precise terms of the landmark agreement is what is necessary at this point. The Rheinland government is nearly bankrupt and desperately needs immediate financial assistance to pay police and military personnel.
56258    Companies clash in docking dispute
56259    HOLMAN OUTPOST -- The IMG-owned Holman Outpost in Tau-31 was the site of an angry confrontation between IMG and BMM personnel this week. An inbound BMM freighter from Tau-23 had to make an emergency docking after being damaged during an Outcast attack. Docking control, underestimating the seriousness of the damage to the BMM vessel, did not allow the crippled ship to land for two hours, claiming that its bay was full. Only when the pressurization system began to fail on the BMM vessel did the controllers realize the gravity of the situation. A brawl erupted between the BMM crew and IMG dock workers when the crew emerged from their ship
56260    Dissention over Tau Border Worlds
56261    FREEPORT 6 -- The Kusari and Bretonia governments have offered sharply different views of the growing problem of Outcast piracy along the Tau system Trade Lanes in recent months. New Tokyo blames Bretonia for provoking the Outcast attacks by pushing too aggressively into the Tau-23 system. New London denies the accusations, attributing the growing losses to increased Samura activity in the northern area of Tau-29. An IC official close to the matter admitted that both arguments have some validity.
56262    BMM Battles for Survival in Tau-23
56263    TAU-23 -- The BMM mining operation in Tau-23 is under daily attack by Outcasts, according to a company spokesman in Leeds. The Beryllium mining operation continues to operate at 30 percent capacity, but the Trade Lane access route construction has fallen far behind schedule and is suffering mounting losses due to nonstop Outcast attacks. DSE personnel assigned to the project have threatened to walk off the job unless BMM can dramatically increase its security forces within the area. Anonymous sources within the company admit that the Bretonia military has so far refused requests for assistance.
56264    Kusari Plans Jump Gate into Tau-23
56265    NEW TOKYO -- The Kusari government announced a plan today to build a Jump Gate from Tau-29 directly into the Outcast-controlled area of Tau-23. Those familiar with the Tau Border World situation see it as a desperate last ditch effort by Kusari to get in on the riches of Tau-23 before it is completely locked out by BMM and the IMG. An IC official in Roppongi issued a press release shortly thereafter, stating that IC would not insure any aspect of the proposed Gate.
56266    IC to stop Insuring Omega Shipping
56267    FREISTADT -- In recent weeks the number of attacks on shipping by Hessians and Corsairs has reached crisis levels within Omega-7. Only 50 percent of all convoys have successfully completed their trips. Interspace Commerce has threatened to issue a travel warning for all shipping companies as soon as tomorrow, which would effectively shut down Bretonia-Rheinland trade. Travel warnings represent the most serious threat level assessed by IC, effectively ceasing any insurance coverage for a shipper who dares venture forth.
56268    IC: Rheinland Must Take Action
56269    BONN -- Interspace Commerce officials again pleaded their case with the representatives of the Rheinland Military in tense meetings on the Bonn Station, sources report. The military reiterated that it doesn t even have the money to pay personnel serving on the battleship Westfalen in Hamburg, let alone patrol dangerous systems like Omega-7. Liberty has offered to pay for a special Federal Police patrol within the system, but so far Berlin has refused direct assistance in this matter.
56270    Omega-11 Offers Dangerous Riches
56271    SOLARIUS -- Sheltered by a dying planet at the far side of the Walker Nebula , Solarius is an unlikely place to find people seeking their fortune. It s the abundant Diamonds found in the Von Rohe Belt that bring amateur miners from around Sirius to this lonely station. But success does not come easily to most. The system s dying red-giant sun stands guard over those who are foolish or brave enough to gamble their lives for instant riches. The belt is littered with ships that were unable to escape the intense radiation storms that constantly sweep across the system with little advance notice.
56272    Two Companies Spar in Omega-3
56273    FREEPORT 1 -- Looking across the vast ice fields of the Barrier, one could imagine that there is little of economic value to find. In reality, the asteroids in Omega-3 contain valuable Hydrocarbons that have become the focus of competing claims by BMM and Daumann within the system. So far BMM appears to have the upper hand, thanks to the efforts of the Red Hessians, who harbor a deep hatred for all things Daumann. But the Corsairs may tip the balance in Daumann s favor, as they do not discriminate when choosing their victims.
56274    Cleanup of Sigma-13 on Schedule
56275    HELGOLAND -- An ALG spokeswoman confirmed today that the company still hopes to meet its target completion date of 805 for the cleanup of the old Rheinland Navy relics left from the 80-Years War. "The Junkers have proven to be somewhat slower salvage workers than we anticipated," said Erna Roth. She added that ALG will implement a special incentive program beginning next month to motivate the Junkers to complete their salvage operations in a timely fashion.
56276    Is the GMG in control of Sigma-13?
56277    NAHA -- Kusari and Rheinland shippers are questioning whether the GMG is able to control the mounting menace of Outcasts and Corsairs crossing its space within Sigma-13. Despite frequent GMG patrols, criminal activity in the system has steadily risen since the arrival of the Junkers and ALG several years ago. The Rheinland Military is forbidden to enter the system according to the rules laid out in the treaty that ended the 80-Years War. The Kusari Naval Forces is also reluctant to undertake the task, given New Tokyo s often complicated relationship with the fiercely independent Guild.
56278    Orbital Spa Aiding Artifact Trade?
56279    HAWAII -- One look around the lobby of this luxury cruise ship and one can see what all the fuss is about. Hogosha and Corsairs are regularly spotted around this posh Sigma-19 resort, presumably engaged in their illegal Artifact trading activities. Orbital executives have come under intense pressure from New York to halt landing privileges for the Corsairs. In its own defense, Orbital they stated that if it ever offended the vicious Edge World pirates, the Hawaii would be reduced to a flaming wreck within days.
56280    Outcasts Continue Sigma-17 Attacks
56281    KURILE -- The Outcasts continue to apply pressure in the Sigma-17 system, this time against corporate shipping. Several Samura transports and Cryer Research ships have been destroyed with all hands lost following a series of especially merciless attacks in recent days, leading authorities to speculate that the Outcasts harbor particularly negative feelings towards the two corporations active in the area. In all cases the cargos of Alien Organisms were destroyed on the spot by the pirates.
56282    Pirates Threaten GMG Territory
56283    NAHA -- Recent brazen attacks by Outcasts and Corsairs within the Sigma-13 system underline the need for greater security investment by the GMG. Current proposals range from building an early warning array of satellites across the system to surrounding all known Jump Holes with rings of weapons platforms. The Zoners have objected to the latter solution, noting that the Cambridge Line has proven useless in preventing Corsair attacks in Bretonia. One thing is certain -- we can no longer sit idly by and let the pirates terrorize us.
56284    Sigma-13 Gas Reserves Exhausted?
56285    NAHA -- The GMG production group released a 20-year estimate for Sigma-13 system H-Fuel reserves yesterday. The findings were alarming: a steep decline in gas production during the next ten years, leading to an economically unviable operation by 815 AS. The Council took this as a sign that it is time for the GMG to gradually begin moving all of its operations to Sigma-17. In anticipation of the eventual migration, a new deal was recently signed with Kishiro to finance the expansion of the Ogashawa platform.
56286    Contact Lost with Expedition
56287    OGASHAWA -- The Hosho Maru and her escorts sailed forth from Ogashawa two months ago in search of new gas fields in the Edge Nebula. Initial transmissions received from the expedition were not promising in terms of H-Fuel discoveries, but the explorers had encountered vast fields of Alien Organisms. Shortly thereafter, contact was lost. It is feared that the group encountered hostile Outcasts, since that area of the Edge Nebula is widely known to be the Outcasts' home territory.
56288    Youth Return to their Homeland
56289    AOMORI -- Younger GMG members are leaving the hard and lonely life of the Guild in record numbers. Most of them are headed for Honshu, where the Kishiro factories are booming. It is a sad day for the Guild when we can no longer offer our children the life that they desire, but if that is their wish, then it should be so. We must expand further into the Edge and find a homeland of our own after all these centuries. Then our young will no longer dream of life on Kusari planets.
56290    The Battle for Omega-5
56291    FREISTADT -- The war between the Red Hessians and the Corsairs has been fought for many years. After countless losses on both sides it appears that neither faction can claim victory. The Red Hessians have greater numbers, but the Corsairs are the superior pilots and have better equipment. Someday this war will come to an end, but not before one of these two powerful forces is brought to its knees. Omega-5 is a dangerous system to enter, since both sides will likely fire on any vessels within the battle field.
56292    No Junkers In Kusari
56293    ROCHESTER -- Ever wondered why there are no Junkers in Kusari? The answer is simple: the Hogosha. The Junkers want to expand into every corner of Sirius space, hoping to exploit the underworld trade in each House. But, true to their isolate nature, the Kusari crime syndicate has kept the foreigners out of Kusari systems. Open conflict has not erupted between the two opposing factions because it is not the Junkers' way to wage open war. For now the enterprising scavengers will bide their time until an opportunity in Kusari presents itself.
56294    The Children of Hispania
56295    TRAFALGAR -- It is rumored that the two fiercest pirate groups in Sirius both came from the same ship; the lost Sleeper Ship Hispania. While this is only hearsay, many believe the tales to be true about the two great factions. Nowadays, both the Outcasts and the Corsairs clash in incredible battles of skill and grace, but these rivalries occur primarily because of territorial disputes in the Sigma Border Worlds and southern Bretonia. There is no intrinsic hatred between them, only a ruthlessness that goes beyond any common ties.
56296    The Gold of Dublin
56297    TRAFALGAR -- The Corsairs have poured into Bretonia from the southern Border Worlds to find rich hunting grounds and fields of Gold. This has put them at odds with the Bretonian criminal group the Mollys, who claim Dublin and its Gold as theirs. A fierce struggle has ensued between the two for the right to be Bretonia's dominant pirate faction. It appears as if the Corsairs are holding their own against the tenacious Mollys, but only time will tell who has the right to pilfer the queen's coffers.
56298    Kindred Spirits
56299    DARMSTADT -- There are two groups within Sirius that have never met each other, yet fight for almost the exact same things in different houses. The common link between the groups? Synth Foods. The Farmers Alliance of Kusari and the LWB of Rheinland are both fighting the Liberty corporation desperately, in an attempt to rid their homelands of the ever-encroaching food pastes that feed the majority of Sirius. The LWB is particularly interested in ending the Synth occupation of planet Stuttgart, while the Farmers Alliance is battling for control of the Kusari food markets.
56300    Changing the Status Quo in Kusari
56301    KYOTO -- The Hogosha crime syndicate is trying to keep things as they are in the Kusari Empire. This brings them into conflict with the Blood Dragons, a faction whose primary goal is to overthrow the government. It also puts them at odds with the Golden Chrysanthemums, another group that is striving for revolution in Kusari, but for different reasons. The Dragons wish to eliminate government corruption and the Golden C. aim to bring about a new age for women, yet the common goal for these two groups brings them together as allies against the Hogosha.
56302    Neutral Ground for Everyone
56303    ROCHESTER -- It doesn't matter what group of criminals you belong to, unless you are a Xeno. You are always welcome at a Junker base because you are a potential customer for black market items. From Molly Gold to Corsair Artifacts, the Junkers are willing to buy, sell or trade it all. They also deal in basic Commodities and therefore supply many outlaws. Junker bases also serve as neutral areas for criminals to meet without conflict.
56304    The Xeno Angle
56305    OURAY -- Many do not understand the radical view that the Xenos take against foreigners and Junkers. The Xenos are the remnants of Liberty's working-class population in Colorado and Texas. The group blames foreign business interests for the closure of most Liberty factories. Having been kicked to the bottom, Xenos see their only option as clawing their way back to the top. Any outsiders are enemies to them, including the Junkers.
56306    The Cardamine Connection
56307    BUFFALO -- The trade and use of Cardamine has brought three criminal factions together around the Outcasts, who produce the powerful narcotic. The Golden C. use Cardamine as part of their ritualistic subculture and distribute it into Kusari space. The Lane Hackers trade valuable shipping information to the Outcasts in exchange for the drug. Finally, there are the Rogues. They supply and shelter the Outcast smugglers on their way through Liberty space. This symbiotic relationship has been very effective in spreading the drug throughout Sirius.
56308    Bounty Hunters: Despised By All
56309    HOUSTON -- Criminals who ve gone bad and have no problem hunting down their own join the Bounty Hunters Guild. Every crime organization in Sirius has lost many of their numbers to this group and will lose more. The worst insult to most pirates: Once the Bounty Hunter was just like him or her but now is a lap dog to the corporations. Hunters know the Jump Hole networks and how outlaws operate, which makes them more dangerous than police or military. If you have the opportunity to kill one of them, don't hesitate.
56310    Reformers Seek End to Corruption
56311    BRUCHSAL -- The Bundschuh of Rheinland and the Blood Dragons of Kusari are organizations that have committed themselves to political ideals over promises of gain by way of murder and piracy. The two groups are motivated by the desire to root out corruption from within their respective governments. The similarities between the Bundschuh and Blood Dragons are illuminating: Both groups believe that it is the influence of corporations that has steered the leadership of their Houses towards corruption and decay. It is also very unlikely that a Bundschuh has ever met a Blood Dragon.
56312    On a Razor's Edge
56313    FREEPORT 10 -- The relationship between Zoners and Outcasts is a precarious one. The Outcasts view the Zoners as somewhat useful, so they do not attack them. The moment that the Outcasts no longer find the Zoners necessary, they will have no compunctions about slaughtering any who are in or near their space. The IMG have a much worse rapport with the faction. Outcasts will kill any miners they come across in the northern Edge Worlds. The last thing that Outcasts want is undue attention by outside factions in their territory.
56314    The Zoners in Southern Sirius
56315    FREEPORT 9 -- Corsairs and Zoners get along together reasonably well because of the large quantities of Corsair Food produced on Freeport 9, but there is some question as to whether operations like it will continue to be allowed to operate so freely by the Corsairs. The presence of Bounty Hunters in Zoner freeports has been the source of mounting tension between the Corsairs and their deliberately neutral neighbors.
56316    Mining in the Blood
56317    THE HOOD -- The IMG miners, who operate the Hood, get along well with the Mollys, who purchase most of their supplies from the merchants aboard the derelict battleship. Both groups are miners, and though the Mollys have no true allies, the IMG probably come the closest. The IMG are Molly sympathizers, though they have chosen not to criminalize themselves within Bretonia. Like the Mollys, many IMG are former BMM employees, and both groups share a mutual and understandable hatred for the oppressive Bretonian Mining firm.
56318    Red Hessians Accept Fellow Miners
56319    FREISTADT -- Though it has been a long time since the Red Hessians were exclusively miners, they can still appreciate the work that the IMG does to operate independently of corporate and House control in Sirius. Red Hessians and IMG conduct business at the IMG base Freistadt in Omega-7, where they trade Commodities of all kinds from basic supplies to engines. Historically a Bretonian organization, Rheinland miners flocked to the IMG after the 80-Years War, and the common ancestry between the two groups is not overlooked by either faction.
56320    Noted Hessian dies in Failed Escape
56321    VIERLANDE -- Brigade Commander Fritz Hochsted was killed during a failed attempt to escape from his cell aboard the feared Rheinland Federal Prison in Hamburg. He had been sending radio messages from inside the Vierlande to his executive officer for several weeks in an attempt to coordinate a raid with the escape attempt. Unfortunately, the plan failed when his brigade was unable to reach the prison due to authority intervention. The commander fought his way to an airlock and held it until he realized that his ships were not coming. Rather than die at the hands of his captors, he opened the door to the vacuum of open space.
56322    Red Hessian Membership Increasing
56323    DRESDEN -- It doesn't take much in these times of economic woe to convince adventure hearted civilians to become a part of the Hessians. Many who cannot find work are deciding that a pirate's life is right for them. From Dresden to New Berlin men and women are coming into the fold, and it is only strengthening the organization. The Red Hessians have suffered tragic losses in the war against the Corsairs, but new pilots flood to the Ronneburg daily. Soon the Hessians will stretch from Rheinland to Bretonia.
56324    The Twilight Brigade Destroyed
56325    RONNEBURG -- It is a sad day for Red Hessians throughout Sirius. During a recent battle in Omega-5, we suffered great losses. Two of our best brigades defended Hessian territory against a large Corsair attack force and fought them to a standstill just outside of Ronneburg. "We knew they were going to destroy our base if we didn't stop them," said Hessian Erik Schultz. "The Twilight got the worst of it; I don't think many of those boys made it." Schultz is correct in his estimation; there are only four living members of the Twilight Brigade after the recent engagement.
56326    Largest Diamond Heist Ever
56327    DRESDEN -- Though Daumann has not announced it publicly, Hessian forces recently captured the largest Diamond shipment in the history of the organization. The Black Wolves launched an attack upon two armored transports as they made their way towards the New Berlin Gate. Some casualties occurred, but they died for the glory of the workers of Rheinland. Fleet Commander Heinrich Pulger coordinated the planning of the attack using detailed information he learned about the shipment from sources inside Daumann.
56328    Hogosha Boss Assassinated
56329    NEW TOKYO -- Noted Hogosha criminal Taki Fujimata met an unfortunate demise in his residence a few days ago at the hands of Blood Dragon commandos. Fujimata was responsible for the strikes upon six intelligence-gathering operatives that were in position in New Tokyo. His death insures greater mobility and safety for our undercover agents in the capitol. Fujimata was a well-liked figure within the Hogosha leadership, and rumors are already circulating that a reprisal attack may soon be forthcoming.
56330    Sakura Strike Planned
56331    CHUGOKU -- With the approach of the Sakura Festival, the Blood Dragons will mourn the anniversary of the fall of the Hideyoshi Shogunate. This is a day of great shame not only for the Blood Dragons, but for all the people of Kusari. It is our sacred role to reestablish a legitimate government. On this anniversary Kusari will be reminded of how our honor was taken from us. Expect a day of reckoning during the upcoming Sakura Festival. Our leaders shall not let the travesty that occurred centuries ago be forgotten.
56332    A Close Call
56333    KYOTO -- Two Kusari Naval Forces fighters were intercepted yesterday by a patrol near the Hokkaido Jump Hole. It is theorized that they stumbled across the Hole in the Kayo Cloud by accident. Five more ships were immediately dispatched to the area, and the hunt began. The two ships were destroyed just as they were about to exit the system. Fortunately, the high electromagnetic interference present in the Kayo Cloud most likely prevented them from making contact with the Matsumoto.
56334    Liberty Rogues Won't Help Junkers
56335    ROCHESTER -- The Rogues have decided not to take sides in the fighting between the Junkers and the Xenos. This decision has raised some tensions in Rochester, where the Junkers are most commonly harassed by Xeno attacks. "We supply the Rogues with almost everything they need. It just ain't right, them not helping us against those crazy Xenos," said Junker Abraham Washington. A Rogue pilot who was questioned about the decision had this to say, "It isn't our place getting into the middle of a fight between two groups we've got nothing personal against."
56336    Rochester: Junker Paradise
56337    ROCHESTER -- You can get anything you want in Rochester, from Cardamine to Niobium, and the Junkers who live and work there are proud of that fact. "We have the most extensive supply of black market items available in Sirius, and it hasn't been easy getting to that point," Said Jerry Greeley, a Junker merchant. The debris fields of New York supply the Junkers not only with the best stock around, but with all the Scrap Metal they need and plenty of good hiding places to conduct their off-base business. transactions.
56338    Rogue murdered in Bar Dispute
56339    BEAUMONT -- Wayne Hancock, a well-liked Liberty Rogue, was killed three days ago when he angered an Outcast drinking next to him at the bar in Beaumont. It is rumored that the two men were arguing, and the Outcast simply drew a weapon and killed the unlucky Rogue. "I heard Wayne say something about how them masks the Outcasts wear look silly. The next thing I know he's out of his stool and on the floor with four shots in his belly," said John Kincaid, the bartender who was serving the two.
56340    Outcasts Annihilate Xeno force
56341    BEAUMONT -- A flight of Outcast Cardamine runners was recently attacked by Hudson Xenos near the West Dallas Debris Field. The Xenos underestimated the skill and ships of the Outcasts and quickly found themselves on the losing side of the battle. The three Outcast ships destroyed all of the eight Xeno attack vessels in the skirmish. The Junkers, enemies of the foreign-hating Liberty criminal group, may have found a new ally.
56342    A Corsair and Outcast Romance?
56343    TRAFALGAR -- Junkers were surprised last Wednesday to see a female Corsair and a male Outcast having what looked to be an intimate conversation in the Trafalgar lounge area. It is well known that when Corsairs and Outcasts meet in space, a fierce battle usually ensues, but that might not be the case when they aren't aboard their ships. "I thought they were going to fight when I first noticed them, that is until I heard the woman laughing, I've never heard a Corsair laugh before," said Roger Watkins, Trafalgar bartender.
56344    Confusion over Junkers Return policy
56345    TRAFALGAR -- It is a hard and fast rule of the Junkers: There are no refunds on anything purchased from our supplies. One of the disadvantages of dealing in black market items is fact that once you buy something you cannot return it. This rule was a point of contention between Trafalgar Junkers and Mollys. The Mollys, angered over some improperly functioning ship engines they had purchased, demanded full refunds. It looked like things might get out of hand before Molly Captain Jacob Crowe overheard the commotion and put a stop to it, siding with reason and ordering his men to accept the deal.
56346    Blue Diamond Prices Going Up
56347    KREUZBERG -- The Red Hessians are demanding more for Dresden Diamonds recently and are getting what they ask for. Because of a recent craze for blue Diamonds among the Rheinland elite, it looks like the market is going to bear the higher prices. "It s really getting ridiculous, the prices they are charging, " said Junker Wilhelm Flores. "They expect fair prices from us, so it should work both ways." The Red Hessians claim that it is becoming harder to smuggle the Diamonds from the Schwefelnebel. "We lose men and ships everyday getting Diamonds here," said a Hessian smuggler on the situation.
56348    LWB Will Pay for Info on Synth Foods
56349    STUTTGART -- The LWB have alerted Kreuzberg that they are looking to buy information about Synth Foods activities. "We don't have all the information we need about their activities and that is hampering our abilities to coordinate an effective resistance against Synth Foods," said LWB representative Dietrich Leffler. Though the LWB are not renowned as a particular wealthy or large organization they have made it clear that accurate information will be well rewarded. "We need shipping routes and times, as well as dossiers on top Synth executives," said Leffler.
56350    Dealing with the Federal Police
56351    YANAGI -- Rheinland Junkers are feeling the heat as Rheinland passes more rigorous inspection standards in an attempt to stop the flow of Cardamine into the colony. Junkers have been forced to design more imaginative ways to get the drug into Rheinland space. "The authorities are a bit short of cash right now, so we ve been able to slip by quite a few State Police patrols with a little extra credits on hand. Usually it works, but sometimes it doesn't, so you have to be prepared to hit the afterburner" said Junker smuggler Sonja Kerns.
56352    Yearly Meeting to be Held at Yanagi
56353    YANAGI -- Every ten years the organization of men and women who call themselves Junkers comes together at one of the Junker bases; this time around Yanagi will host the event. It is a time for all Junkers to come together to trade wares, ideas, routes, and tales as they review the past decade. New leadership positions will be granted to replace comrades who are no longer with us. New blood will also be brought into the fold with our "Become a Junker" dinner held for Junker children coming of age.
56354    Xenos Gain Ground for Workers
56355    COLORADO -- Even if the Liberty government is too spineless to assert the rights of the strongest of the colony Houses, the Xenos still represent the aims of the working class in this space. The Kusari and Rheinland shippers have encountered a new foe as they enter our turf trying to sell their inferior goods to libertonians, who deserve better. Though our numbers are small, our hearts and backs are strong, and we will prevail. There is no place for the Kusari or Rheinland in Liberty.
56356    Gun Sale!
56357    NEW YORK -- This time Liberty's finest managed to pull off the biggest Xeno Side Arm score in as long as anyone can remember. Twelve of our pilots hit an Ageira armored transport filled with the finest weapons made in Detroit. We only lost four pilots, and now it looks like there will be weapons for everybody. There will be special sale at the Commodity dealer to clear out the excess inventory. All friends of the Xenos are welcome.
56358    More Folks Coming in from Texas
56359    OURAY -- Most of the people that our brotherhood is able recruit from the Huntsville usually end up doing their duty in Hudson, but it looks like we might be getting a good number of members from Texas in the next few weeks. Jake Brown, one of our comrades in arms who is languishing in prison down south, is getting out soon, and according to reports, he's bringing some new recruits with him. Brown was put away when he tangled with one too many LPI ships near Chisos a couple of years ago. Now it looks like his loss is our gain.
56360    Luxury Goods Available
56361    HUDSON -- A Republican Shipping convoy carrying Luxury Goods through Hudson on its way to Liberty space was attacked and destroyed by Xeno freedom fighters a few days ago. Since nobody we deal with has the money to buy the goods, we are distributing them to our own brethren to improve the quality of life for Xenos in this part of space. Even if you don t care about Niobium statues and post-neo contemporary paintings, come see what there is; you might find something you like.
56362    Attack on Junker Base A Success
56363    BEAUMONT -- It looks like the Junkers will be licking their wounds for quite some time after the most recent Xeno attack at their base in Texas. Our boys came cruising in just as a few Outcast ships were docking at the base. They let lose with a volley of missiles and cruised back out before the Junkers and Outcasts knew what had hit them. "I saw both of my missiles hit home against the base, and there were explosions everywhere," says Harry Nash, one of our own, about the attack on Beaumont.
56364    Cardamine is the Future
56365    BARROW -- What's the best way to get rid of the corporates and the rich in New York? Cardamine. It must become every Xeno's goal to wrestle away control of the Cardamine from the Junkers in Liberty. If we could find a way to take over their supplies, we could use the drug to control the Manhattan addicts. This would put us in a much stronger financial position and give us the ability to upgrade our weapons and fleet. Then we could truly begin the revolution that would set the libertonian working class free from the bonds of corruption that restrict so many of us.
56366    Hogosha Candidate wins Election
56367    NEW TOKYO -- Ryuku Daisama is celebrating tonight in New Tokyo, along with many of our leaders. Daisama was supported by the Hogosha because of his efforts to curb crime in Kusari space. He is a fierce opponent of the Blood Dragons and Golden Chrysanthemums, and his newly won position on the Interstellar Board of Crime Management will help bolster his efforts throughout all of our space. The Hogosha will soon be backing another lucky candidate in the race for the next open position on the board. If you would like to support our efforts, contributions are always accepted.
56368    Hogosha Leader Dishonors Himself
56369    SHIKOKU -- One of our own is on his way to Shikoku where he will serve a twelve-year sentence for trafficking Cardamine. This terrible crime must not be perpetrated by the protectors of the Kusari people. The underboss was caught when two of his street-level distributors were apprehended and confessed to working for him. This man has been disavowed by the Hogosha, and it is unlikely that he will live to see the end of his prison sentence. The Hogosha will not tolerate the sale of Cardamine as a means to make money.
56370    Artifact Prices Drop for Distributors
56371    SIGMA-19 -- It looks like the profit margins on Artifacts are increasing, which should delight many of our distributors in New Tokyo. The GMG was recently cut out of the Artifact trade between the Hogosha and the Corsairs, resulting in better prices for our organization. Contact was made with Corsair representatives on the Hawaii, and our negotiators offered the pirates more than the GMG was paying them for the Artifacts, but less than the Miners Guild was charging the Hogosha. It looks like everyone will profit, except the GMG.
56372    Near Miss
56373    CURACAO -- None of our numbers have ever been captured alive, but that fact almost changed recently when one of our own was identified while she was on an impromptu vacation in Curacao. Sue Williams found herself surrounded by undercover IC operatives at the Orbital Spa and Cruise Lines Resort last week. She was able to send a distress call to a patrol that was passing near the planet. "We got her message. She seemed worried, so Jake and I went to get her out of there," quoted Hacker pilot Robert Butcher. The two pilots flew in and picked her up just as the IC agents were about to close in.
56374    Hackers Announce Record Profits
56375    MAGELLAN -- Despite increased bounties offered by IC and Ageira, Lane Hacker operations are just as successful as ever. This quarter both bases posted record profits from lucrative heists that we pulled off. "I don't know how Liberty ever gets any Gold from Bretonia with the operations we are pulling," Lane Hacker executive Bill Hunter quoted. Privately many members admit that mounting Cardamine abuse could be a serious drain on Hacker income if not curbed in the near future.
56376    Outcasts Threaten Price Increase
56377    LEIDEN -- The days of trading information with the Outcasts for Cardamine may soon be drawing to an end as Outcasts threaten to boost Cardamine prices. "The Outcasts have to realize what a service they are getting by trading us for information," said division manager Gary Holden, "If they try and put the squeeze on us, then they are going to lose millions when they stop getting all those choice shipments." Information will be withheld from the Edge World Cardamine suppliers if they hike the prices again.
56378    Artifacts Out of Vogue
56379    MACTAN -- Every Hacker has Artifacts these days, and it looks like there isn't much of a market for them among our own numbers. This is a good thing, since we can sell directly on Liberty's black market. "We'll make more off of them if we stop picking the best ones for ourselves anyway, plus with the new ban on Artifacts, the prices should go up, netting us more in the long run," quoted John Gustafson.
56380    Hackers Killed in Ambush
56381    GALILEO -- Gary Burnam, William Lieberman, and Hamilton Jones were all killed when they stumbled into an IC/Bounty Hunter trap last week. The three pilots attacked a Kusari Luxury Goods armored transport as it approached the Galileo Jump Gate in Colorado. They sent a distress call just as they made their first pass. The reports are inconclusive, but it is believed that four Hunter ships were hidden in the transport s relay signature. Flight leader Burnam gave the order to retreat, but shortly afterwards all three of their com-signals went dead. A day later IC paid the Guild three pilot bounties.
56382    Technology Updates from Ageira
56383    COLORADO -- Our code breakers cracked the new encryption code that Ageira designed to protect its USI systems. It would not have been possible without the help of our company operatives. It looks like we are still one step ahead of the game; Ageira will have to come up with another way of stopping us from conducting business. Scores of Lane Hackers still work for Ageira and act as informants for our organization. Through their brave contributions we continue to prosper.
56384    Corsairs Feel the Pain in Dublin
56385    DUBLIN -- Dublin is ours, though it looks like we will have to protect our system and our Gold not only from the Bretonian government, but from the Corsairs, too. Their raids in this system have become increasingly frequent. Over the past month Mollys have destroyed more than fifteen Corsair ships, but at a price. Six of us will draw breath no more because of these new intruders. We must remain vigilant against these new foes, who are tougher and meaner than any Bretonian military.
56386    Guerrilla Tactics Winning the War
56387    DUBLIN -- We may have less money and fewer pilots and resources, but we are winning. The Bretonian military cannot stop us from running operations in this system, nor are things much better for them in the rest of Bretonia, where we are able to operate freely. Despite setbacks, we have managed to fight Bretonia to a standstill, and we shall continue until we turn the tide. One day the Crown will realize that Dublin is not worth what it must pay to keep her.
56388    Military Gunboat Destroyed
56389    ARRANMORE -- The military came too close to our asteroid field this past week and it cost them a gunboat and all hands. The Reginald Harris pursued three of our fighters from the safety of the Essex to the boundaries of our asteroid field, where it paid the price. Five more ships stood ready when the gunboat approached the perimeter of the field, and when she got into range they let loose with a precisely fired missile salvo into the Harris' engines. The captain tried to retreat, but with the engines destroyed it was just a matter of dragging the ship into the minefield and letting the mines destroy her.
56390    More Lies from the Corporations
56391    NEW BERLIN -- In a press release issued today the Rheinland government stated that industrial casualties are declining. This information was compiled from annual worker statistics generated by Daumann, Kruger, and Republican. Government officials applauded the companies for their strict adherence to the Workers Rights Convention. Do not be fooled; this is nothing more than propaganda created to lull you into apathy. The truth is that these corporations ignore the Convention. Overworked, overpaid miners die everyday using unsafe equipment. Metal workers fall into vats of molten metal daily, too tired to be careful. This is no time for complacency.
56392    The Ranks are Swelling
56393    FRANKFURT -- It is well known that the Red Hessians have forgotten their political ideas, becoming little more than common pirates. This is unfortunate because justice loses a powerful ally, but all is not lost. Some of the more enlightened members of the Hessians are not satisfied with being common thieves and are coming to the Bundschuh to continue the fight against Rheinland's corrupt regime. Many of these new members are experienced pilots, tacticians, and soldiers -- just what we need to fight our oppressors.
56394    Close Call for Gaian Activist
56395    NEW LONDON -- Constance Rogers almost met her end last week when several armed assailants accosted her in New London. Rogers was on her way to a press conference when an unlicensed vehicle rammed the skiff she was riding in. Three men in black jumped out of the marauding craft and unloaded handheld weapons into Rogers' skiff. Her driver and personal assistant were both killed in the hail of gunfire. Though it is an unfortunate tragedy, we are lucky not to lose Rogers, one of our best lobbyists. She only suffered minor injuries.
56396    Native Species on Gaia nearly Extinct
56397    GAIA -- The jeweled windbird is in danger of becoming extinct because of bacteria brought to the planet by tourists from Leeds. The small multicolored bird that populated the forests of Gaia is rapidly declining in numbers because of the sickness caused by the alien bacteria. The bacteria makes the eggs of the windbird extremely brittle and susceptible to breakage before the fetuses can fully develop. The bacteria have been identified as originating from Leeds and must have been transported by a tourist aboard Orbital Spa's Shetland liner. The windbird has been the focus of many works of art because of its dazzling beauty and iridescent feathers.
56398    New Tactics Successful
56399    MANCHESTER -- Ice asteroids are a terraformer's best friend. Ice asteroids found in a system are dumped into the planet's atmosphere in a warped attempt to change the planet from its natural state into an artificial ecosystem for human beings. Now it looks like ice asteroids may become the terraformer's worst enemy. A Planetform, Inc. ship slammed into an ice asteroid last week, completely destroying the craft. The asteroid had been dragged by our ships into the Trade Lanes just before a scheduled Planetform run through that area. The regrettable loss of life will stop once Planetform ceases its operation.
56400    Attack in Hamburg a Great Success
56401    ALTONA -- Unioners are celebrating tonight after a critical success for the cause in Hamburg yesterday. Four Republican vessels were destroyed in a lightning strike upon the enemy base. Rheinland Federal Police responded quickly to the distress call of the Republican ships, but they arrived too late. Our attack force was already cruising for the Jump Hole out of the system. The success of the mission was attributed to the gunnery skills of the attacking pilots, who scored direct hits with all of their missile salvos.
56402    Stopped Cold by the Hessians
56403    NEW BERLIN -- Unioner attempts to gain access to the Dresden Diamond fields were rebuffed yet again by Red Hessian patrols. "They make sure that we don't make it through the Jump Hole," said Unioner freedom fighter Otto Kiergard. "It's almost no time at all before we are surrounded by their ships whenever we enter Dresden, and they are too good and too numerous to fight off." This is the fourth time in a year that Unioner forces have probed into Red Hessian territory only to be pushed back into New Berlin.
56404    Synth Foods Transport Escapes
56405    HUDSON -- Unioner raiders came close to destroying a Synth Foods ship in Hudson that was carrying Paste from Stuttgart to Liberty. Before they could finish the job, the flight of Unioners were set upon by Xenos, who seemed to come to the rescue of the Liberty vessel. The Synth ship was able to flee while our forces engaged the foreign menace. Unioner pilots have been fighting turf wars with the Xenos in Hudson for some time; soon they will be overcome and destroyed.
56406    Infiltrator Uncovered During Initiation
56407    AINU -- A government agent was discovered last week when she attempted to become a permanent member of our sisterhood. This is the third such spy. When will the government learn that Matsuda watches over us and will not let interlopers into the house of her visionaries? It is unfortunate that a potential sister of ours turned out to be nothing more than an agent for the chauvinists trying to oppress her own gender. It is our duty to enlighten women like her that have been dragged from the truth by the brainwashing of the patriarchal Kusari culture.
56408    Blood Dragons Honor Us
56409    ROPPONGI -- Blood Dragon pilot Kozai Suzuki was saved from certain death a few days ago when he sent out a distress call to any Blood Dragons or Golden C. in the area. The sisterhood picked up his message; fortunately, three of our warriors were nearby. They found him in a badly damaged ship fighting off two Hogosha and immediately flew into the fray to assist. Within moments one of the Hogosha was destroyed, and the second fled. Suzuki-san honored us with his personal gratitude and an original Kuichi Li portrait of Yu Yu Matsuda.
56410    Beef Farm Knocked Out
56411    STUTTGART -- A Luxury Foods farm was put out of commission by an LWB operative's bomb that exploded near the main generator. Some Synth Foods employees were killed in the blast, many others wounded. The bomber was none other than Karl Furgen, the previous owner of the plantation, who faked his own death to join the LWB when he realized that he would soon be bought out by the Liberty corporation. Furgen was able to escape and is currently planning his next attack in Darmstadt.
56412    Synth Foods Slowly Gaining Ground
56413    STUTTGART -- Though the LWB has been fighting Synth Foods steadily for several decades now, the fight has grown more difficult to protect our homeland from the imperialistic invaders. Soon 80 percent of Stuttgart will be in the hands of Synth, and the climate has already been irrevocably changed. This is not a call for surrender, but a renewal of will against the accursed Liberty corporation. The steps we have been taking to stop the foreign company is not enough; we must intensify pressure to free our lands.
56414    A Century of Strife
56415    DARMSTADT -- LWB leaders are planning a massive strike on Synth Food operations next week on the one hundredth anniversary of the Liberty company's invasion of Stuttgart. The details of the plan have not yet been released, but LWB veterans have been warned to be available for a large-scale operation. This plan only includes members of the LWB whose family had land taken from them by Synth Foods, since the risk factor is rumored to be very high. Next week will be one of great importance for our small band of freedom fighters.
56416    Bio-Dome knocked out in Deshima
56417    SHIKOKU -- Farmers Alliance commandos planted a bomb in the biodome in Deshima several days ago. Both operatives were able to escape before the timer went off. According to reports, the dome will not produce food for several weeks. This is a symbolic victory for the Alliance. There is no place for a Synth Foods biodome in Kusari space, and soon the foreigners will come to learn that fact. The injuries caused by the explosion are regrettable, yet necessary when compared to the terrible price that the people of Kusari will pay if the Liberty corporation takes over.
56418    Alliance Enjoys Strong Support
56419    KYUSHU -- A poll recently taken by an independent news group found that the Farmers Alliance is very popular among a large portion of the Kyushu populace. Obviously, Alliance propaganda is taking affect in the minds and heart of the people of the system. Our organization enjoys particular support from the older, wiser generations living on the planet. Soon people will begin to realize that it was a mistake to let foreigners come into our space. It will not be long before the Farmers Alliance movement is sweeping through the empire.
56420    Kyushu Rice is Healthiest Choice
56421    NEW TOKYO -- Though many complain of the higher price that comes with Kyushu foods, they do not think of the benefits their bodies are receiving from eating naturally grown foods. A recent study conducted by an independent organization discovered that Synth Paste can damage a person's long-term health and cause hair loss. The synthetic swill they pump from their biodomes is chiefly chemicals and dye. Remember to tell people this information when they complain about the prices of our foods, because you cannot place a price on good health.
56422    Life is Good in New York
56423    BUFFALO -- New York has the best that life has to offer for a criminal in Liberty. Here in the center of Sirius one can travel through the system aided by the numerous debris fields. Additionally, the Badlands hide Buffalo from the prying eyes of the military and the LPI. Everything is provided for those that have the guts to take it. Cardamine and loot is readily available, and if you get captured by the LPI, then room and board is free. If a Bounty Hunter pops you, then you aren't feeling any pain anyway.
56424    The LPI Steps it up in Pittsburg
56425    PITTSBURG -- Rogues have been encountering more patrols than usual near Pittsburg these days. If you decide to do some hunting in that area, be careful and stay hidden in the Pittsburg fields as much as possible. Junker sources believe that the increased patrols are due to LPI's recent "Get Tough on Crime" campaign that they have been waging against the party crowd in Liberty. LPI pilots are getting paid bonuses to bring us in, so they are going deeper into the debris than they normally do.
56426    Largest Cardamine Haul Ever
56427    ALCATRAZ -- Rogue pilots recently smuggled a large shipment of Cardamine from California all the way to the Junkers at Rochester in New York. "Things got a little tense when we realized that we were being ghosted by a couple a Hunters, but we managed to get away from them -- Woohoo!" cried Terry Donovan, one of the successful smugglers.
56428    New Recruits to Receive Training
56429    ALCATRAZ -- Leaders from around Liberty came together in California this week to discuss the possibility of training newer Rogue members to become better pilots and smugglers. "If we could take the acquired knowledge of our more experienced members and share it with some of the scrubs, then we d have less casualties among our junior members," said Montezuma chief, Nick Creeley. This is all part of a Rogue effort everywhere to try and become a more effective force within Liberty and Sirius.
56430    Xenos Get Hammered By Unioners
56431    DAWSON -- It looks like some of the Xenos in this system lost a pretty big fight with the Rheinland Unioners last week. Everybody knows that the Xenos are trying to get in on the Diamond trade -- so far unsuccessfully. The case was no different this time when four Xenos attacked Unioners heading through the Wrangell Field towards Dawson to do some Diamond trading. Rogue pilots held back and watched as the Xenos got torn apart by the more experienced Unioner pilots.
56432    No Bounties for these Hunters
56433    KENAI FIELD -- A small flight of Bounty Hunters was ambushed by Rogue pilots just south of the Kenai fields yesterday as they completed a circuit of the area. Rogue patrols had been ghosting the three novice Hunters for about a week as they searched the system to collect bounties on Rogue scalps. Yesterday the trap was laid and sprung. A force of seven Rogues destroyed all three Bounty Hunter ships. The action is an example of the organization and teamwork that Rogues have been attempting to instill within the membership lately.
56434    Lane Hacker Information Pays Off
56435    MONTEZUMA -- The intelligence purchased from Lane Hackers has more than paid for itself within the past several months in Cortez. Looted Luxury Good shipments from New York have been earning the majority of the money at the base. Once the cargo is acquired, Rogue smugglers make their way back to New York, where the goods are fenced to the Junkers at excellent prices. Unfortunately, this lucrative cycle may be nearing its end, since the Luxury Goods shipments are entering the system with more and more escorts. Soon they will not be worth the price paid in pilots and ships.
56436    Fight Like the Outcasts
56437    MONTEZUMA -- Rogue leaders aboard Dawson are attempting to convince Outcast smugglers on their way into Liberty space to train our own pilots. This initiative was created at the Rogue Chief meetings held in California recently. If the Outcasts are willing to share their knowledge of combat, gunnery, and piloting in return for favors and money, Rogue combat effectiveness should skyrocket. As of yet no Outcasts have been willing, but leaders remain optimistic that an arrangement can be made.
56438    Rogues Suffer a Loss to Kusari
56439    RAIDEN CLOUD -- High-value Kusari goods will be entering Liberty soon, despite efforts by pilots from Padua. Rogues attempted to waylay an armored transport in the Trade Lanes just west of the Raiden Cloud. The ship's defenses and escorts proved to be too much for the outgunned Rogue force, and after the loss of three of our men and their ships, the remaining members of the raiding party broke off the attack and limped back home. This is discouraging news, but we will come back from this experience stronger than ever.
56440    Close Call with Liberty Military
56441    PADUA -- Two Rogues are recovering from injuries tonight in Padua after an encounter with a military patrol almost cost them their lives. The two were transporting Artifacts on behalf of the Outcasts when they were jumped by two military flights running a circuit from Colorado. The smugglers were caught at their most vulnerable point: halfway between the Komatsu and the Reppu Clouds. Luckily the pilots were able to make it to the Reppu Cloud and escape, although their ships were badly damaged. They also managed to save the Artifacts, which will be smuggled into New York next week.
56442    Food Shortages a Thing of the Past
56443    CRETE -- The Family Elders of Crete are discussing plans regarding the construction of biodomes. If successful, Corsairs would never have to worry about the Food shortages that have plagued our people for the 800 years since we were cast upon Crete. In recent years famine has not been a major issue for the Corsairs due to the wealth brought in from the Artifact trade and piracy. But the problem would be completely alleviated with the addition of biodomes, which could sustain the entire population for a fraction of the price now required.
56444    The Bounty Hunter Scourge
56445    CRETE -- Many Corsairs believe that it is no longer necessary to tolerate the Zoner presence in Omicron Gamma's sister system. There is concern that they allow Bounty Hunters to come too close to the home world. It has also been argued that the biodomes in Freeport 9 could be salvaged after the Zoner expulsion and used to grow food solely for Corsairs. Right now the Zoners enjoy relative safety in Omicron Theta, but that could soon change.
56446    Rivera Returns from Sigma-19
56447    CRETE -- Elder Rivera has returned from his negotiations with the Hogosha in Hawaii. The GMG will no longer be included in the sale of any Artifacts to the Kusari crime syndicate, which means more profits for the Corsairs. Toruella also finalized several other contracts with the Hogosha in preparation for the upcoming months. "I am pleased to announce that everything has gone as planned," Rivera admitted upon his arrival back in Corsair space.."The Hogosha will back us completely for direct access to our Artifacts."
56448    New Advances in Ship Technology
56449    TRIPOLI -- Centuries of reverse engineering and building fighter crafts from the remnants of salvaged ships has paid off yet again. Tripoli engineers discovered a new way to fine-tune the H-Fuel intake components on a star drive, yielding much greater power than the original Kishiro designers though possible. This latest discovery will allow any Corsair ship with the same engine to increase its speed by at least 50 percent after stabilizers are added to the ship's hull and engine mountings.
56450    Troops Pulled from the Front
56451    CADIZ -- Soldiers and pilots are being rotated back to Crete from the front in the following weeks. A full squadron of fighters and a company of marines will maintain a holding presence in Cadiz, but the rest are headed back for new orders. Most of the pilots headed back to Omicron Gamma are glad to be getting out of the system, but the generals have alerted the men and women remaining at Cadiz that they will assume a defensive position against the Hessians for several months, a move that should significantly reduce casualties.
56452    Every Corsair's Duty
56453    LEON -- The Elders wish to remind the Corsairs of Leon that they must continue with raids upon Bretonia, concentrating specifically upon the Gold shipments in Dublin and New London. "Men and women of Leon, though you are not currently serving at military grade, you must strive to make sure that the body of our nation remains fed and armed. I task you, my children, to go out into the stars and bring back their fire," commands the High Elder Montoya. Keep the supplies coming in from Bretonia.
56454    The Road To Rheinland Part I
56455    CRETE -- The war of attrition in Omega-5 is costing us too many lives and ships in a fruitless struggle to gain control of the southern Border Worlds. The Elders have decided upon a new strategy to destroy the Red Hessians once and for all. Forces from Cadiz will be redeployed to Crete, where they will rearm and prepare for a northern assault into Rheinland. Once this is done the new Northern Fleet will move up to Sigma-19, and after we are in position, we shall commence an attack on the Junkers in Sigma-13.
56456    The Road To Rheinland Part II
56457    CRETE -- The Hogosha have agreed to use their contacts in Kusari to put focused pressure upon the Outcasts, alleviating the possibility of a flank attack by our northern enemies. In return, the Hogosha will be given exclusive Artifacts-distribution rights for all of Sirius. The Junkers at Sigma-13 cannot withstand a focused attack and will fall. The Northern Fleet will then invade Frankfurt, where we should encounter minimal resistance from the Bundschuh or the Rheinland Federal Police. As soon as Frankfurt falls, a base of operations will be established there and lines drawn for the push into Dresden.
56458    The Road To Rheinland Part III
56459    CRETE -- The Northern Fleet in Frankfurt will stage an all out attack on the Red Hessians in Dresden. Once Hessian forces are pulled from Omega-11 and Omega-5 to counter the Northern Fleet's assault, conscripted forces from Leon and the standing fleet in Cadiz will launch into the two weakened Omega systems. When victory is achieved in the Omegas, the Leon fleet will attack the Hessians in Dresden from behind, and the hammer will meet the anvil. The Cadiz Fleet will stand by to reinforce and protect the flank.
56460    Don Teofilo Dies of Natural Causes
56461    MALTA -- One of the oldest and most respected cartel dons has passed away at the age of 177. Teofilo Wenceslau died in his sleep at his plantation yesterday surrounded by his closest family members. Wenceslau was the oldest man in Outcast history, having outlived the next eldest by twelve years. Though the Cardamine mutation has lowered birthrates among our race, a positive effect has been the dramatic increase in the average lifespan, which is currently 124. Teofilo is survived by his eldest daughter, Dona Alicia, who will now assume command of the Wenceslau cartel.
56462    Benitez takes Control of Solano
56463    MALTA -- Miguel Benitez rules the most powerful cartel in Outcast space after acquiring the Solano Plantation last month. The Toruella and Velez cartels have also pledged their loyalty to the Benitez family, in a surprise move that guarantees his ascension to Head Don of the Outcasts. Benitez' primary rival, Don David of the Narvaez cartel, has decided not to oppose Benitez when he assumes leadership of the families of Malta.
56464    Our Purgatory Becomes a Paradise
56465    MALTA -- With the enormous influx of money into the Outcast economy, Malta is slowly being transformed into rolling fields of tall orange grasses and luxuriant towns and cities. Almost the entire population is involved in the Cardamine trade, and there is so much profit to make that even field hands are living in a style only those in the capitol systems are accustomed to. Slowly, the Outcasts have built a paradise from the bitter soils and rocky crags of this planet.
56466    IMG Base Location Still A Mystery
56467    MALTA -- Interrogators did not have a chance to unlock any information regarding the location of the secret IMG base in Tau-37. The captured miner, who was traveling through the Edge Worlds towards the hidden base, died from injuries he sustained while trying to escape the Outcast patrol that caught him unawares. "It is a pity that he was so badly injured. We didn't even get a chance to begin interrogating him before he died," said security officer Jose Rubiera. Outcasts continue searching for the elusive miners.
56468    Enemy Destroyed in Omicron-Beta
56469    RUIZ -- Yesterday Outcast patrols intercepted and destroyed a small GMG survey ship convoy that was launching retrievable probes into the alien organics fields northeast of the Jump Hole to Sigma-19. This is the fifth incursion into the system by the GMG in as five months. A reprisal attack against GMG operations in the Border Worlds was ordered and launched. Our fighters returned to base after destroying a mining ship and killing at least a dozen miners in the Hiryu Cloud.
56470    Outcast Raiding Fleet to be Updated
56471    MALTA -- Engineers are revamping 100 ships per month over the next two years in an effort to make the Raiders even more deadly than they already are. Master engineer Ibrahim Casse has developed a new design that will be implemented on the fleet. Casse's 100+ years of experience as an engineer makes him the finest ship designer and builder in all of Sirius. His academy builds new prototypes every semester as he trains a new generation to follow in his footstep.
56472    Benitez Calls Upon all Outcasts
56473    MALTA -- Don Miguel Benitez called upon Outcasts throughout Sirius to help him locate his missing son. Benitez even summoned Santiago Llorens, who was in Liberty conducting business. Llorens responded to the call by returning to Malta. Benitez' third eldest son, who has been missing for some time, sent a distress call from the Sigma Border Worlds two days ago. "I ask that all Outcasts use their powers and talents to find my son, whose safe return will bring a six million credit reward," offered Don Miguel.
56474    Cardamine Profits Run Higher
56475    MALTA -- Cartels across the planet are celebrating tonight after quarterly Cardamine profits were registered. "The criminals that distribute the Cardamine are accounting for a significant portion of total profits," said Jorge Garcia, a profits estimator, "and the popularity that Cardamine is experiencing among the most wealthy citizens of the House systems is soaring." With the introduction of Cardamine into Kusari -- thanks to the efforts of the Golden Chrysanthemums -- plantation growers are enjoying their highest profits ever recorded. Many believe that this is a critical transition point for Cardamine and project that a quarter of all Sirius will be addicted to the drug by the end of the decade.
56476    The Golden C. Is Addicted
56477    CALI -- It appears that the Kusari terrorist organization, the Golden Chrysanthemums, has become completely dependent upon Cardamine. Outcast observers were able to ascertain that the Golden C. is even using the drug as part of several of their high-level ceremonies. "I believe that they will be even more obedient than the Liberty Rogues, given time," said observer Javier Soto. The organization is perfect for distribution because it has its finger on the pulse of the Kusari youth.

60207    Docking Ring
60208    A docking ring is a piece of orbiting technology that, through the use of super strong crystalline polymers and frictionless bearings, assists the smooth atmospheric entry of any interstellar vessel that has the ability to land. Invented in 130 A.S. by Valhalla Research, these 'orbital elevators' almost completely negate the cost of boosting people or materials out of a planetary gravity well. Docking rings revolutionized exploration and industry almost overnight, opening up entire systems for commercial exploration and exploitation. \n \nValhalla Research licenses this technology to the other houses, who in turn agree to design all ships (except for special exploratory and survey vessels), to work with the docking ring system. \n\nWARNING: Do not approach a planet and attempt a landing without using the docking ring.
60209    Jump Gate
60210    A jump gate is a conveyance technology that allows instantaneous travel between two distinct points in space using technology pioneered by Valhalla Research and built by Monument Engineering in 130 A.S. According to the annual Valhalla Research Shareholder Report, 'jump gate technology is designed to gather and amplify certain permeable tendencies in real-space and connect them to other congruent points elsewhere in the sector, while still maintaining the structural integrity and stability of the channel created by this process and of the object passing through it.'\n\nValhalla Research and Monument Engineering continue to survey other potential jump point candidates and expect to provide connections with other areas further and further away as their research continues.
60211    Jump Hole
60212    ***GRAVITATIONAL ANOMALY DETECTED***\nMagnetic and gravimetric readings consistent with a 'jump hole'.\n\nLike jump gates, jump holes are semi-permeable areas in real-space that have a tendency to breach the natural boundaries of linear time and space. Unlike jump gates, though, these anomalies occur naturally and so are both unpredictable and unstable. Traveling through jump holes is a risky proposition at best. Though some have been charted and, based on accounts from ships that have accidentally encountered them, have had their exit points logged, just as many ships have never been heard from again. It is believed that these ships were either crushed in the violent, cataclysmic vortex that lies outside the narrow corridor of a jump tunnel, or were sent to a place far enough away to make communication or a return trip infeasible. In either case, those missing are presumed dead. Valhalla Research and Monument Engineering urge all citizens to use the prescribed trade lanes and jump gates and to avoid all contact with jump holes.

60245    Trade Lane Ring
60246    Trade lanes are used for superluminal travel within a system. Trade lanes must be entered from their origin point, usually located near key industrial, military, or civilian bases.\n\nThe first trade lane was established through a joint venture between Monument Engineering and Valhalla Research in the year 280 A.S.. By 350 A.S., most of Liberty space was crisscrossed by trade lanes. Through financing from Interspace Commerce, the trade lane network was rapidly extended into the other colonies, helping to create a truly sector-wide economy. Trade lanes are the fastest and safest method of transporting goods and personnel within and between the colonies. Plans to expand the trade lanes to connect interests in the independent territories outside of the colonies are pending.
