Title: Mastapolis acquires R&D leader Cordenet Group
When: As soon as possible
Where: Synteini, Achenar, Cordenet
Mastapolis Mining, one of the largest imperial galactic mining conglomerates, has taken a controlling stake in the Cordenet Group, a leading corporation in the research and development of advanced robotics.
The Sorbago-based giant recently acquired similar assets in a number of local systems, and the conglomerate is expected to continue diversifying its portfolio in the coming months. As a reminder, the majority shareholder of Mastapolis Mining is Senator Zemina Torval, from the Synteini system.
According to Teresa Smith, market analyst for the Achenar Times: "Senator Torval is unconcerned about Cubeo politics, but a talented businesswomen such as herself always accounts for the unexpected. This is certainly a calculated risk."
Investors and commentators are speculating that this is another sign of the market looking to a future where imperial servitude, once an accepted cornerstone of life in the Empire, may some day be replaced by an automated labour force.

Date: 4 Feb 2016
Location: Siaroju, Sitakapa
Title: Resource Conflict Engulfs Siaroju
Workers in the small mining colony of Siaroju are taking shelter in fear for their lives after open warfare erupted between Imperial and Federal forces. Yakaerite Energy Co have squared off against the Sitakapa Empire League, with both sides committing capital ships to the conflict in an attempt to secure the system's vast resource fields. Analysts suggest Sitakapa may be gaining the upper hand, with commandos from the Sitakapan Expeditionary Forces striking a key blow. Supported by the INV Duval, they successfully routed the Farragut-class Battlecruiser FNS Gellan which had been tasked to protect the system's only outpost Wright Works.
Siaroju officials commented “With no more than 1,500 of us stationed here, all we can do is keep ourselves safe. Trade is all but shut down, with only the most daring of pilots risking the trip out here. The sooner this is over, the better!”

Title: PBSF Announce Official Diplomats as War Draws To A Close In Neto
Location: Neto system; Wolf 1509 system; LHS 448 (all systems where PBSF are currently present)
Time: ASAP
Description:
Captain Anaidni has recently announced two new official titles within the PBSF with two Commanders being promoted to Official Diplomat for the spreading minor faction. CMDRS Add PaTienTZero and PBSF CHAOTICAL have recently overseen talks with the Federal Rangers faction with both groups concluding that peace shall return to their systems.
The war itself started only a few short months ago, but with tensions rising recently the two commanders spearheaded a campaign which has seen the new peace confirmed last night after lengthy talks. This reporter was honoured to be one of the few invited to the closed ceremony today, where we saw the two officers, already a part of the Owsla Council behind the PBSF, received their promotion.
Both officers are spoken highly of by the war scarred captain who as ever presided over the event via video link from his shadowed office who was heard to say "Never before have I know pilots with such compassion and a genuine love to do what is right for the people. They are both fully deserving of today's honours"

Dr Arcanonn Death Threat Details Revealed
Hi @Ian Dingwall - you asked, and the Canonn delivers (I hope!). Here's the first step in moving on the story of Dr Arcanonn - kept it down below 160 words (156 I think) to make it as short as poss for Global publish
The references to your 2nd Nov 3301 story and Palin: don't worry - We're not planning to invent anything that's not already established within Galnet
The hope is for a weekly or Mon/Fri progression - but that's obviously entirely at your discretion, and we'll write in such a way so it's entirely up to you. We'll be trying to incorporate local developments into it - to try to bring the whole thing alive for our Canonn CMDRs and everyone else.
The two characters mentioned here are both players, and happy to be included.
Obviously, Socha Korbemile had to be a traitor... I'm sure he'll understand
==========================================
Title: Dr Arcanonn Death Threat Details Revealed
Location: Galnet
Time: You're the boss
Description:
From the office of Nelson De Rosa, Canonn Chief of Security:
“Dr Arcanonn has been beset by threats from xenophobic crackpots for months, but this time the threat was more credible: that if he visited Professor Palin in Maia, he would be 'terminated'. A meeting between the two scientists had indeed been planned, but it was not common knowledge.”
“We’ve now determined that the Doctor's own research assistant, Socha Korbemile - who sadly expired yesterday during questioning - had been leaking sensitive information about the Doctor to an unknown contact for some time.”
“We are probing possible links with local Varati groups who have previously obstructed our research, and to the armed intruders at Christian Dock on 2nd November 3301."
"We’re also looking for Dr Huros, head of our own Department for Anti-Social Sciences, as his militant views on the Unknown Artefacts often cause conflict with Dr Arcanonn. I want to eliminate him from our investigation as soon as possible, so any information on his whereabouts would be appreciated.”

If I could offer some feedback, I’d suggest explaining who Socha Korbemile is, e.g. “a former member of the Canonn Interstellar Research Group”, or even just “an individual by the name of...” I’d also suggest explaining the nature of “Varati groups” so it’s clear why they’re being investigated, e.g. “various dissident organisations in Varati”, or “local groups known to be opposed to the Canonn’s research”.
I assume Dr Huros is, or was, a member of the CIRG?
Dr Huros is indeed a current (and founding) member of the Canonn
The Department of Anti-Social Sciences is a reflection of his own feeling that when it comes to aliens, he'll be shooting first, asking questions later. Needless to say we expect fireworks at some point
Within the group, he'd be an obvious suspect because of Dr Arc's own touchy-feely 'assume the best' approach.
(He's also off exploring at the moment, so nobody's going to be seeing him for a while)
Regarding your feedback - thank you very much, I had various permutations in there originally, which were all edited out for brevity.
Have done some edits as per your thoughts. Thanks once again

Title: Munshin to Aid LFT 37
Location: Munshin, LFT 37 (if you want)
Description:
Galleria Huneric, leader of the Libertas Cooperative, announced her intentions to supply aid to freedmen in LFT 37. In her statement, Huneric wrote that "these slaves, freed by the Paladins, are trapped in a legal morass. It is our duty as fellow freedmen and freedwomen of the Empire to aid thse poor souls."
Water purifiers and other goods are already being readied in the Munshin system for export to LFT 37. The associated pilot's group, Pileus Libertas, will be transporting thousands of tonnes of cargo from Munshin and other nearby systems as part of the relief efforts.

ps: Ian, I've submitted 3 for local publication since December but none ended up in the Munshin news. If there's anything you need me to change or improve upon, I'd appreciate the feedback.

Imperial Lives Matter – Senators Patreus and Torval release a joint statement
Publication: Galnet and local news at all stations, outposts and bases in LFT 37 and LHS 1122
Date and time for the news item/event: 6 FEB 3302 1200hrs
Title: Imperial Lives Matter – Senators Patreus and Torval release a joint statement
Description:
“Imperial Slavery provides a safety net, protecting poor, impoverished souls who cannot support themselves. It's social security for those in greatest need. Responsible societies should protect their weak and vulnerable.
Recent Imperial Slave 'freeings' in LFT 37 have caused a humanitarian catastrophe. These poor, helpless people now have no protection from exploitation and cannot even feed themselves.
We support humanitarian aid for these vulnerable people who have been left destitute and starving. We’ve provided a safe haven at Roentgen Hub for those 'freed' people who prefer to return to the safety and protection that Imperial Slavery provides.
We encourage transportation of Imperial Slaves from Roentgen Hub to a new life in Maupertuis City in LHS 1122 where protection from the inherent dangers of 'freedom' are guaranteed.
Trading in Imperial Slaves is socially responsible and philanthropic. It serves to protect the vulnerable. The profits are high because "Imperial Lives Matter" and those willing to protect them should be rewarded accordingly.”

Title: Unidentified Diamondback at Zenbei Orbital
Description:
“I just saw one of those odd Diamondbacks circling around Zenbei Orbital at Vaka,” exclaimed CMDR Doumaz_B. “It was flying laterally, always facing the station, and it had no signature to lock onto. I tried to catch It in my Imperial Courier, but it was too fast. I followed it for a while, and then it just… vanished.”
Since the first report of the Diamondback ‘S6: 7’, sightings of Diamondbacks exhibiting similar behavior have been called in throughout inhabited space. Most are obvious hoaxes, but some reports appear legitimate. The brevity of these elusive encounters and the lack of hard data have made it difficult to attribute these craft to any organization or organizations.
In light of these encounters, several systems have elected to put security forces on low alert. Officers have been instructed to gather as much data as possible in the event one of these vessels is sighted.

Really hope he was telling the truth - had a faker on the threadnought a few days back claiming to have seen one in Alioth. Might have to see about getting a few CMDRs over there to try and corroborate...
Thing is, it could have easily been a glitch too. :/

Title: Majestic Class Interdictor Destroyed in Facece
Description:
Only wreckage remains where once a proud Imperial capital ship was moored in the Facece system. A perimeter of heavily armed Imperial vessels remain in formation around the debris as rescue craft and scanning equipment pick their way through the wreckage.
Lord Tannen Galbraith, commander of the Imperial Internal Security Service holding the perimeter, was asked about the incident.
“Something big took out this ship. We want to be ready in case it comes back. No further comment."
A junior officer also commented on condition of anonymity.
“With all the rumors flying around, I wonder if this is… you know…”
Search teams continue to scour the remains of the once majestic vessel for survivors and for signs of what transpired in Facece. We understand families of the crew are still being informed of the tragedy. Our condolences go out to all of them.

had something similar happen to me the other day, but it was also similar to a well known bug? Did you happen to SEE the ship? did it have a color? and if it was orange, then what I saw the other day might not have been a bug, but I have no proof to verify it other than the fact that I saw an object moving at an incredible rate of speed, out of scanner range, and the distorted scanner blip only last for a split second before vanishing. no boost contrails, no low wake ANYWHERE, I kept flying it the direction and saw nothing. Did the object also head off in a direction similar to coming straight out of the mail slot after docking? As in orbited the rotational direction of the station, then left in the direction of its axis?

Very glad I could be of help! The story will be going out later today.
I appreciate that it can be frustrating. It's often a good idea to write stories that connect in some way to the game's wider narrative threads (although that's not essential), in addition to adhering the criteria at the top of this thread.
Your story has been published in Munshin and LFT 37.
We generally discourage people from ascribing specific actions to Powerplay characters. On this occasion I tweaked the story a little and attributed the quote to a different character. I hope that's okay.
The story will be published in LFT 37 and LHS 1122 tomorrow.
