Title: Colonia Campaign Troubled?
Date: As soon as possible.
Potential Systems: Latugara, San Guan, Harma.
Latugara, a lawless anarchy, is experiencing a spurt of growth driven by the recent initiative launched by Latugara PLC. As demands for power generators are driven higher supplies in nearby systems are already crashing. This has drawn the attention of the Kumo Crew who have been working from the shadows for many months to undermine the local anarchy, and install a puppet confederate government to enforce Archon Delaine's will.
The PLC has high minded goals and are quoted as stating the purpose is for “new bases..[to] bridge the gap between the burgeoning Colonia community and the core systems."
Traders from all over the Federation and Empire are converging upon Love Orbital, making it a veritable cash-cow for pirates and The Kumo Crew. Pilots are warned to be careful and be aware of potential retaliation by the Pirate Lord and his followers.

Title: Imperial warrant issued for Etiene Denain in Uibuth
Date: 19th Sept
Location: Uibuth and Jaques
Content:
Reports of the ex-convict Etiene Denain being sighted in the Uibeth system has prompted the Empire to issue a warrant for his arrest. Etiene Denain is accused of spearheading the Twin Candle movement into the procurement of indentured Imperial Citizens and transporting them to the Colonia colonies where it is believed he had been hiding up until now.
With the cost of the unpaid Imperial Slave bonds estimated to be in the millions, the Empire are keen to seize on these reports and bring him to justice.
The Twin Candle movement were contacted for comment and have issued the following statement:
"We strongly protest the repeated persecution of the Colonia citizen Etiene Denain by the Empire, due to his stance on the abolishment of slavery. Notwithstanding we would like to note that for personal reasons Etiene Denain is currently taking an extended break from his involvement with Twin Candles."

I hate to point this out, but there's a small typo in published version of story...
"On the 28th of August 28th..." Would it be possible to correct this? Thanks again...
TITLE: Friend or Foe?
LOCATION: Bugas
TIME: not important
DESCRIPTION:
According to eye witness accounts, a small fleet of Federation Ships was seen passing through Bugas multiple times this week. They bore the insignia of the 7th Armada, which fell under the command of Admiral Vincent of The Federal Navy.
A representative of the FNBA (Federal News Broadcasting Administration) had this to report:
"The 7th Armada were heroes. For decades, they held the upper hemisphere of Federation Space together. When the Alliance swept in and took control of the upper hemisphere, the 7th Armada just vanished. At least a thousand ships disappeared over night. If it can be confirmed to, in fact, be the 7th Armada then it is a great time to be an investigate reporter." The source wished to remain anonymous for reasons unknown.
Due to continuing hostilities on the border of Federation and Alliance territory, it is uncertain if this fleet is preparing for an assault. However, the presence of so many Federation ships so close to the border of both territories is leaving many people in and around Bugas more than a little unsettled.
"We've just got used to being in Alliance Territory," commented Oliver Doughtry, a Type 7 cargo hauler who makes frequent jumps through Bugas out to Mulag. "We don't need the Federation comin' around here pickin more fights!"
The Federal Navy Office of Administration could not be reached for comments on the matter.

Title: Ejecting all Eject All
Location: Galnet
Time: mid-October (release of Guardians)
Description:
Over the past few years, it has become increasingly standard practice among experienced pilots to entirely remove the emergency cargo flush lever (affectionately known as the 'ejectal lever') from its standard position alongside the lever for raising and lowering the landing gear.
"I don't know who came up with the idea originally," said one commander who wishes to remain anonymous, "but they were idiots. Pure and simple. I think it was something to do with one of the first popular cheap freighter designs having it and then all ship manufacturers following it because of tradition or 'because it's always been done that way', or some other moronic reason. I don't really know, don't quote me. I don't know the history."
However, with the increasing presence of unlicensed engineers operating in various parts of inhabited space, the practice has become almost universal. It is now considered one of the first things even new pilots should do after buying a new ship - it has even been included in several unofficial new pilot training manuals.
This all came to a head when a number of criminal profiteers began taking re-conditioned second-hand ships, removing the ejectal levers, and then re-selling them illegally with the advertisement that they were brand-new ships with 'the factory defect corrected at no extra cost'. This caused consternation among all ship manufacturers when it was discovered that such ships were outselling factory models by a large margin.
Today, joint spokespeople for all the major ship manufacturers came together and issued a statement. "We would like to announce that henceforward, the archaic practice of installing an emergency cargo flush lever beside the landing gear controls has become a thing of the past. It has been decided this design choice is not optimal, after carefully considering feedback from a large proportion of our valued customers. True, it has been a standard of ship design for many centuries, but we like to think that we have listened and reacted in a timely way once a need was shown. We would also like to reassure pilots who prefer the old layout that they can have the lever reinstalled before purchase or at any time afterwards, if they so wish, and at no extra cost."
Reactions to the announcement were almost entirely positive, not only from pilots, but from station services crew, who have often been required to clean up after accidents involving emergency cargo flushes inside stations.
"We had to clean up one hundred tons of jettisoned fish from the inside of Chango Dock one time," said a station services representative from the iBootis system. "About half the containers ruptured. You think the low-paid temps we had to call in to help did a thorough job? There were dead fish wedged into practically every crevice in the docking area, and we didn't have time to find every last one - we're an operating port. The place stank of rotting seafood for three weeks. Though actually, you get used to that smell if you're from iBootis."

Title: Federal Military Convoy departs for Frontier
Location: LHS 215, DX 799
Time: Sept 27
Description: A military convoy bearing Federation Expeditionary markings departed from central Federation space today headed toward what appears to be the edge of civilized space. While the core of which was made up of Federation Navy ships and a contingent of Federal Marines, there was a good chunk of Logistics support and a number of Astrocartographers. Many of which were from the Federation Astrocartography Department though there appeared to be plenty of private Independants mixed in as well.
The Military Convoy was lead by newly promoted Rear Admerial Felix Adhock given command of the Federation Naval 322nd Expeditionary Force.
"After careful deliberation, Federal Congress approved the creation and deployment of this unit to the edge of current civilized space. Our mission is twofold. We have been dispatched to a system that has requested Federal Aid to stabilize the situation as we will be entering a sector of space that has been considerably wartorn. The people there are tired of living in constant battlefield conditions. Once we have established a presence and stabilized the system, we will reach out to those who also desire stability." Rear Admiral Adhock said in a public statement.
"Once we are emplaced and the region stable, we will work to support those who make trips into deep space. Whether short or long term explorer expeditions, trade convoys departing for Colonia, or Tourists who are curious about what lies beyond our borders. Hopefully it should alleviate certain 'concerns'."
"It is not our place to regulate those who make a living in the Deep Black." Adhock clarified. "Rather it is our mission to attempt to proved a safe harbor for them to depart or return to and support them should they need it. After all, nobody started as a Professional. Rather they began doing something for the love it."
"We are the Hellrazers. And we are those who dare to tread in the Deep Black."

Title: The Empire's Majestic Class Interdictor has overstayed its welcome.
Location: Pleiades Sector AB-W B2-4
Time: The event will take place this Sunday 25th.
Story:
A plan has emerged to attack the Empire's Majestic Class Interdictor, stationed in the Pleiades sector, AB-W B2-4.
The Imperial capital ship seems to be protecting a recently discovered alien crash site, some argue there's dark motives behind this protection, no proof has been provided to back these allegations.
The organization planning to attack the capital ship is the Militia of Independent Research, MIR for short. Commander Blade433 seems to be the person in charge.
We reached out to Blade433 in order to find out MIR's motives behind this operation:
"Well, the Imperials have no right to lock down this site. It's a site of galactic history and was never even discovered by them, so who says they have claim to it? If we're to further research into the looming alien threat, then we need all the available information we can get, and this can't be done with a Majestic class Interdictor just chilling over this site."
This information wasn't welcome between the Imperial pilots, Commander Awesomesauce935 quickly responded by starting a counter operation but has since left the protection group and joined MIR.
We asked Awesomesauce why he decided to leave the Imperial operation:
"I've seen reason, the entire human race deserves access to this site, not just one of the superpowers, I fight now only for Humanity itself!"
Awesomesauce is no longer part of the Empire. If he left on his own or the Empire dismissed him, is unknown.
Specific details are kept a secret and only a few at MIR know the exact time that the attack will take place.
We will report more on this story as soon as we have more information.
Commander, TheDegree0.

LOCATION: GalNet, or Colonia / Eol Prou RS-T d3-94, Uibuth, Cubeo, LHS 3447
TITLE: The Colonia Commute
DESCRIPTION:
The far flung human colonies developing around the newly rechristened “Colonia” system in the Eol Prou AA-A H89 Nebula have begun benefitting from a developing import/export economy. Resources are brought in, and passengers are taken back to human space in what some are calling the “Colonia Commute.”
One enterprising commander taking part in the Colonia Commute noted, “Thousands of people were brought to Colonia in cryopods. They don't want to be here. Lucky for them, some big corporations are financing return trips for folks who agree to work for them for a few years. It's been a popular choice for the Imperial Slaves who got dragged out here, since it's not terribly different to what they signed up for. And I'll tell you what, the route pays well. Round trips can net hundreds of millions of credits.”
Colonia representatives remain hopeful that the population will grow as people willingly emigrate to Colonia.

“Well, Jaques Station is still not giving out missions yet, but fortunately these outposts now are offering missions, and you can see, there’s a few right here. Fairly well paid, but nothing too substantial, but where the money really stands is in the passenger lounge. Now passengers don’t want to be ferried around Colonia here. They all seem to want to be ferried back to the original bubble, and because of that, the missions have quite substantial sums to them. And if you take on four or five of these missions, you’ll find yourself making a hundred million in a single run; albeit, that run will probably take you quite a few days.”

DESCRIPTION:
Various witnesses have come forward in response to requests from Chi Orionis system security to report any sightings of suspended MetaDrive Inc. employee Raan Corsen. Commander Joel Kosmo was the first to report contact with the evasive Raan Corsen near Chi Orionis 1.
Commander Kosmo attempted to pursue Corsen, who was flying an Imperial Eagle, and had a brief conversation with Corsen who claimed:
“Best thing you can do for me is to leave me alone. Sirius Corp got Femi killed, don’t believe what you’re reading on GalNet. They’re trying to get me, it’s a cover up! Some secret MetaDrive tech data, don’t know what it is, but people are being killed for it!”
Sirius Corp has yet to respond to these accusations.
Corsen’s Imperial Eagle has generated rumors that the Empire may be aiding him, but no additional evidence to support those suspicions has surfaced.

Title: Panic at Thoreau Orbital
Text: Fear continues to spread at Thoreau Orbital in Obotrima following heavy Imperial sabotage with all but essential systems disabled while fires continue to rage. Despite heavy damage and many fire-suppressant systems still offline, it seems unlikely that the station will need to be abandoned following a successful 53 hour battle by Federal Emergency Response crews to protect the main fuel reservoirs and pumping facilities from the fires while fuel lines were manually drained and secured.
Speaking from an emergency shelter one local reported "We've been stuck here with only life support and emergency lighting since the reactor blew on Thursday and know next to nothing, we've only just had limited comms restored and have no clue who managed to survive this. It almost feels like a cover-up"
The station commander has made a plea for Meta-Alloys in an effort to rapidly restore functionality to the station.

I thought a follow up to the events in Obotrima might be interesting and showing the human side of a millions of tonnes of explosives being detonated and left lying around a busy starport.

Title: Uibuth Launches New Anti-Slavery Initiative
Text: UIBUTH: With the Uibuth System now firmly in the control of the Prismatic Imperium's Adamantine Union, several factions are pushing a new Anti-Slavery Initiative with the guarantee of aide to the incoming freed former slaves. Independent Commanders are being urged to bring slaves and Imperial Slaves to Uibuth and simply let them walk out of their ship.
"The last initiative offered substantial renumeration," said the Prismatic Imperium leader Corwin Ryan. "And was a huge success, but we can't sustain that level forever. So now we're simply urging those who wish to help free slaves to bring them to Uibuth. Our resources are one-hundred percent prioritising the freed slaves, housing, food, education and, for many, counselling".
Already many Commanders have brought hundred of slaves to Uibuth; including the Drav family, freed by Cmdr Marrs.
"They were made to suffer the indignity of being put up for sale as though they were nothing more than a commodity to be traded. Along with many other hapless people, they were forced to work processing dangerous chemicals until such time as they could be bought by the highest bidder.
"Luckily for the Drav family, I was able to negotiate with Lesley Fry of the Purple Mob, a woman seemingly without any kind of moral compass, to secure their release.
"Once aboard my ship, I was able to tell them the good news that they would be released and looked after at Uibuth, thanks to the good people of the Adamantine Union and the Twin Candles."

"Once aboard my ship, I was able to tell them the good news that they would be released and looked after at Uibuth, thanks to the good people of the Adamantine Union and the Twin Candles."

Title: Search for former MetaDrive employee continues
Location: Chi Orionis, Sirius, Okinura (Galnet if deemed appropriate)
Time: Anytime after the publication of Corrigendum's "Sirius Accusations" article (assuming that it gets published)
Security Forces in the Chi Orionis system received a sharp reprimand from Earth Defense Fleet leadership following news that a known fugitive, Raan Corsen, was sighted by an independent Commander.
"This is unacceptable," said Sky Marshall Victore Beskor of the Earth Defense Fleet. "We hold our Security Forces to a higher standard then this. The fact that Raan Corsen was spotted in EDF-controlled space and not detained for questioning is something this fleet cannot tolerate."
"During the brief contact between Corsen and Commander Kosmo an acusation was made against Sirius Corporation suggesting that Sirius is somehow behind the death of Metadrive CEO Femi Dakarai. I've asked the Coroner's Office in Chi Orionis to conduct a thorough autopsy to rule out any possibilities of foul play while we continue to try and track Corsen down for questioning."

Title: Concerns Mount over Detention of Lady Kahina Loren
Location: Galnet (or Achenar, Prism, Kamadhenu, Malaikudi, HR 6421, Hisaaka, Nemgla)
Time: ASAP
Description:
Imperial aligned Commanders & factions have called for ISS transparency in the case of the detention of Prism's former Senator Lady Kahina Tijani Loren, also known as Commander Salomé.
Groups such as the Chapterhouse of Inquisition and the 9th Legion have pressed their respective Patrons to ensure that the recently detained suspected agitator is afforded the same legal protections as any other Imperial citizen.
Concerned parties have sent several delegations to Achenar in the run up to Loren's hearing, hoping to be allowed access to the proceedings as legal observers.
