Title: Knights of the Black Activity in the Pleiades
Last night at about 0300 hours, Obsidian Orbital picked up an unusual signal originating from an unknown location several hundred light years away.
An officer on the station, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, stated, “At first, I thought it might have been another one of those strange carrier signals that stations from across colonized space have been reporting. After a few minutes, though, I unscrambled some of the signal. What I heard was worrying, to say the least.”
The station officer was able to determine that it was a message intended for members of the group, Knights of the Black.
One part of it read as, “. . . convergence. I think everything to do with SS1, the Antares, Congressman George Fallside, Prime Minister Edmund Mahon, the UAs, the Barnacles, Dr. Palin, the assassination of the Emperor, and now the unidentified spacecraft sightings. . . I think everything is connected somehow. To what end, I haven't the slightest idea. Maybe we’re dealing with an unknown faction, or perhaps an AI species that is replicating our ships, using the Unknown Artefacts to gather ship specs. But the manure is about to hit the fan, boys. So get your shovels ready. Hard work lies ahead.”

The best thing to do would be to send the text to community@frontier.co.uk, explaining the idea behind the story, and mentioning that I suggested you submit it.
I can't promise the story will be published, but if you send it via email it will at least give us a chance to discuss the idea in more detail.
This has been published in Maia, Sanoar, HIP 26890 and Dhaku.
This has been published in Shinrarta Dezhra, Nanomam and Rhea.
This has been published in Mandhrithar and Corngari.
Yes, please feel free to submit the revised version.
Yes, this is a bit long! You're welcome to submit a shorter version, but please be aware this doesn't mean the original story has been 'approved', or that the revised version will definitely be published.
This has been published in Achenar, Alioth and Sol.
Were you planning to continue the story about Arcannon receiving death threats? I was curious to see where it was going!
Title: Negotiations between the Alliance and Coqui Renes corporations begin in earnest
Location: Coqui Renes, Alioth, Gateway
Time: Not important
Description:
The recent political successes of Edmund Mahon has not gone unnoticed in the Alliance neighbourhood, with multiple corporations sending out feelers to Alliance representatives as they are looking to improve their trade relations with nearby star systems. While no official response has been made by the office of Alliance Prime Minister Edmund Mahon, it is hard to imagine a scenario where the Alliance would not welcome another strong economy into the group.

Yes - we were - the details are somewhat up in the air (or underground, depending which way you take it)!
I wanted to mention that he was operating via an anonymising Interstellar link to hide his location in this article; but ran out of space
But am working on the next step in the story for Arc - will try not to disappoint
Title: Civitas Dei establishing new government in Phanes.
Location: Phanes
Time: ASAP
Description:
After a long period of Federation dominance, there is a new hope for Phanes citizens. A group of Freemasonry pilots, known as Civitas Dei, took control over this system last week and made it fully independent. Lodge of Civitas Dei released statement related to this situation: "We are proud to announce that our order took control over this marvellous system during last week. Phanes was originally independent system and deserve to be independent in future. It was very difficult time for Phanes people, because to ensure the government transaction, we declared lockdown through Phanes. But we want to calm down everybody, the situation is going better every day and lockdown state will be terminated soon. Relating to future, we have a development plan to realize in Phanes and it's surrounding systems, to make this area a peaceful, perfect and wealth place. To show our best intentions, we organized Mendeleev Prospect Race to celebrate our success in Phanes and we have more events prepared for future. More information we are going to spread through Galnet in the upcomming weeks."

We are a new player group and I want to show my people that our efford has sense. If there is some problem with my submissions please let me know what I'm doing wrong. This message is focused to our lore, I'm not reffering to existing ingame character, nor other points from first page. I think that changing government and allegiance is important enough to put it to local Galnet news. I have prepared more stories to publish in future, but first of all I want to let everybody know that we are there.

Thanks, Ian. So, new idea - faction news for faction pledgers. Thinking this could be a potential regular feature (monthly? fortnightly?) in HQ local news.

TITLE: Latest News from Senatorial Fleet
DESCRIPTION:
Cmdr Rubberboots this week spotted a glitch in star system data records. A team of data analysts worked overnight to address the problem and have reported success in fixing the issue, allowing garrison supply vessels to be directed with greater precision and strategic specialists to provide the latest data to HQ.
Detachments of the Fleet, accompanied by starfighter squadrons, have been deployed to Kenna to ensure that Imperial citizens’ interests continue to be represented under the Senator’s beneficent auspices.
Significant portions of the Fleet have seen action in Dakshmandi, Ipilyaqa and Ch’i Lin, against the last stand of right-wing terrorist group Emperor’s Dawn. Senator Patreus has authorised the contracting of independent pilots in addition to Fleet deployment, in order to discharge the duty assigned by Emperor Arissa Lavigny-Duval.
Pilot watering hole The Generator and Accelerator on Parkinson Dock has seen rumours fly over recent events at Obsidian Orbital, with everything from Thargoids to escaped artificial intelligence being blamed. Aide de camps have issued instructions for calm and cohesiveness.

Author's Note: Please forgive mention of Patreus' name! I've only used it in context of "commanders pledged to" or "systems represented by", and once here simply reiterating what was already said in FDev written article wherein Patreus himself states authorisation to pay mercenaries in the fight against Dawn (surely not a faux pas if an FDev article has already stated it, no?).

Title: Archon Delaine Loses Control Over 4 Billion Imperial Citizens
Location: Galaxy wide, alternatively: Halbangaay, Harma, Achenar, PowerPlay headquarters.
Description:
Imperial sponsored Terror attacks, commonly referred to as "undermining", have finally started to bear fruit on the system of Halbangaay, but not quite the way the Emperor envisioned.
The reckless unleashing of an Unidentified Artifact Xeno-bomb on Imperial citizens was the final straw for the 4 billion residents of Halbangaay and they now no longer consider themselves part of the Empire.
News of Halbangaay's liberation has spread to the Kumo Crew's other 4 Imperial Control Systems, with Yuror and Itzanmets joining the rebellion and also throwing off the shackles of Imperial Rule.
With recent polls showing record low Imperial support in Dhak, it is only a matter of time before it's residents are also free from Imperial terror.
Arawere remains the only bastion of Imperial support in the Kumo Crew's domain, time will tell if the Pegasi War continues after there are no more Imperial Citizens remaining.

Title: Lessons from Yesteryear
Description:
In a research paper recently published by Sima Kalhana, the renowned historian included commentary on lessons from the year 3301.
“Though Archon Delaine rose to power over 37 years ago, it was the disappearance of President Jasmina Halsey that presented him with his greatest opportunity. During the critical month after Halsey’s disappearance, 20 billion members of the Federation found themselves living under his shadow. He is now a force to be reckoned with."
“Similarly, during the illness of Emperor Hengist Duval, the shadowy Emperor’s Dawn grew unnoticed. However, when Emperor’s Dawn made its bid for power by assassinating Emperor Hengist, they were immediately confronted and not permitted to hold territory. However, Emperor’s Dawn fights on."
“The study of history allows us to learn from our mistakes. If we wish to prevent similar tragedies and conquests in the future, we will do well not to ignore these lessons from yesteryear."

Title : Starship One
Description :
We are pleased to learn that the research on the tragedy that occured on May 3301 with the esteemed President Jasmina Halsey, continue.
We had a moment of doubt to know who to support for this action, our president ?
Or to the mostly unknown independants ?
We have decided to back Daurtu Jet Comms PLC in this matter dear to our heart, hoping to have the true results of the investigation after the end of the operation.
But, during my research of clue in the HIP 36014's system, I came across a Pirate Capital ship !
We do not know how it could have happened, but with such resistance we we could not continue our mission.
We hope to know more about this ship. The research continues.

Here's my theory. I saw an interview with ~I forget who... at an AMD booth at ~I forget where. They talked about upcoming ability to take some of the materials found on planets to a smith at a station and create specialized items. Maybe these "Unidentified DBXs" have done this to create some wicked crazy thrusters or boosters. I know this will be awesome when added to the game. I hope I can make a Nuke.
This has been published in Achenar, Alioth and Sol.
Yes, I think that reiterating something that’s already appeared in one of our stories is perfectly acceptable.
