In a shocking display of unprecedented barbarism, Archon Delaine along with his top generals have taken over McKean Orbital in the system of HIP 117865. Reports are coming in of total station control. Local security forces were overwhelmed and driven off by Delaine's massive military force. With authorization from the emperor herself, senator Denton Patreus was given the Empire's blessing to dispatch a Majestic class Interdictor to destroy the station. The plan is to use this rare opportunity to end the infamous pirate's reign of terror once and for all. Archon Delaine meanwhile has been sending out requests over hijacked GalNet broadcasts to the entirety of populated space in an effort to quote, "send a message to the almighty Empire." Pilots from across the galaxy are now swarming to Fox Terminal in HIP 117865 using it as a jump-off point to both aid the Empire in sacrificing the station and aiding Archon Delaine in destroying the capital ship. The system has become the most heated warzone in recent history. Emperor Arissa Lavigny-Duval is urging citizens to "come together and bring justice to the billions of lives Archon Delaine has helped destroy."
