GALNET - 14 JAN 3307 - New Marlinist Systems Request Emergency Food Supplies

Pilots Federation ALERT

The newly settled Marlinist Colonies have asked for urgent deliveries of foodstuffs.

Millions of Marlinists have relocated to eight systems colonised for them by the Sirius Corporation, thereby reducing tension between the Empire and the Federation. They have asked Universal Cartographics to delay a census of the systems’ populations, while the refugees lay the infrastructure for their new societies.

The Marlinist factions are holding democratic elections to select their leaders. However, the transitional parliament has declared an emergency due to the shortage of food stocks.

Community spokesperson Dr Jenna Fairfax announced:

“We are grateful to the galactic community and Sirius Corporation for providing homes. However, we need further help to feed our people in the short term, until we can become self-sufficient.”

“The more supplies we can stockpile, the faster our economies will develop. This in turn will allow us to offer greater commodity discounts, to encourage the establishment of regular trade routes.”

Pilots are asked to deliver animal meat, fish, fruit and vegetables, and grain to Stillman Hub in the HIP 22550 system.

As this system’s defence forces are still being formed, the Free Marlinists of Carinae have offered bounties on all wanted ships to secure these initial trade runs to the Marlinist Colonies.

animal meat

They have a few million spare colonists, right?

TBF: I could understand the fruit, vegetables and grain if they said they would be used to both feeding the people AND getting farms started to grow these on their own. But meat and fish? It would be news to me that either of those could be planted...

If the Marleys came up with a functioning Steak Tree, I'd forgive them all their previous terror campaigns in a heart beat
 
The systems are hard set as 0 population at least for now. This leaves them impossible to expand or exploit from a PP perspective.

There's still that idea about expanding a prison colony faction into those systems... you know, just to keep them safe.
 
Marlinists. Any sympathy I had for them, and I had a lot, was lost ferrying the scarred, burned and maimed survivors at Cemiess.

"Blaze your own trail", why don't you?
