Thank you for your story. It's nice to have a GalNet sparring partner. ;)

Happy to offer a counterview. Even if it never sees public attention, I'm going to have fun writing my personal Elite story. That is what a Sandbox game is for right?

Besides, can't let you Imps have all the good publicity. For the Federation!

Title_EN: dr. Wissenshtraft expressed his opinion about the experiments in Sol

Length:
Message_EN:

Professor of theoretical physics and relativistic mechanics Gleb Wissenshtraft from scientific outpost Popovich Station, located in Euryale system and some of his colleagues have expressed concern about the recent experiments, organized Cannon Interstellar Research Group in the Sol system.

"At that time, as many systems suffer from not fully studied impact of the so-called Unknown Artifacts, dr. Arcannon approves the holding of questionable experiments with so-called Unknown Probes in the Sol system, directly on the Earth's orbit.

We know virtually nothing about these devices. It is known only that they collect and transmit information about its environment in an unknown direction. It was very foolish on the part of the dr. Arcannon allow such an event.

I understand that without the risk new scientific discoveries are not possible, but in this case we can not even imagine the consequences. I hope that dr. Arcannon will be less impulsive and more far-sighted in their decisions, and his research team will be more carefully select the venue for their trials, preferably far away from populated systems.”


Title_RU: д.р. Вайсенштрафт высказал свою озабоченность об экспериментах в Sol


Message_RU:

Доктор теоретической физики и релятивистской механики Глеб Вайсенштрафт с научной станции Popovich Station, расположенной в системе Euryale, и ряд его коллег выразили обеспокоенность по поводу недавних экспериментов, организованных Cannon Interstellar Research Group в пределах системы Sol.

“В то время, как множество систем пострадали от не до конца изученного воздействия так называемых Неизвестных Артефактов, доктор Аркеннон одобряет проведение сомнительных экспериментов с так называемыми Неизвестными Зондами в системе Sol, прямо на орбите Земли.

Мы практически ничего не знаем об этих устройствах. Точно известно только то, что они собирают и передают информацию о своем окружении в неизвестном направлении. Было очень безрассудно со стороны доктора Аркеннона разрешить подобное мероприятие.

Я понимаю, что без риска научные открытия невозможны, но в данном случае мы не можем даже представить возможных последствий. Я надеюсь, что доктор Аркеннон в дальнейшем будет менее импульсивен и более дальновиден в своих решениях, а его исследовательская группа будет более тщательно выбирать места для проведения своих испытаний, желательно вдали от населенных систем.”

Victoria wolf supports Aid Relief in Ambika


Victoria Wolf VI today issued a statement from her offices in Hamilton Gateway.


"We live in a time of great progress with explorers reaching the farthest corners of the galaxy, investigations into alien technologies and pioneers settling further than we ever have in the past. The achievements of Humanity are clear but still we struggle with the age old problems of war, famine, poverty and disease."


"The system of Ambika is currently experiencing one of these problems, a severe famine requiring humanitarian aid to prevent the situation worsening. I have already mobilised pilots from Wolf 406 Transport & Co and AEDC to aid in helping the people of Ambika and urge any other pilots who are able to to help us in averting tragedy in this system."

Location: Gooheimar, Nanomam, Sol, Kamadhenu, Achenar, Galnet

Title: Federation: “Empire is nothing more then frothing warmongers!”


In a string of mysterious attacks.Traders in Gooheimar found themselves without shields before suddenly being impacted by stray torpedos.

The Federation issued a request to anyone willing to help to bring resources to Brady Horizons to help build New Farragut Battlecruisers to match the Imperial's campaign to construct New Majestic Interdictors.

Imperial supporters calling themselves Lavigny's Legion took credit for what many are calling “A pre-emptive strike” against the Federation.

The opening statement of their claim as follows:
“We are responsible for the attack on all merchant vessels aiding the Federation in this system. I'm with Lavigny's Legion, loyal to the Emperor and been ordered the disrupt efforts in the building of new Farragut Class ships that will be used against the Empire.”

Federal Security Services were called to suppress the riots that broke out with angry Federation citizens calling for the death of this newest group of Terrorists who supposedly operate with the Emperor's Blessing.

When asked to Comment, Post Captain Adhock had this to say:
“If the Empire has actually legitimized these attacks, they are declaring open war with the Federation. If not, then Emperor Lavigny-Duval has some serious explaining and housekeeping to do. If she doesn't get her subjects in line, they'll bring war to the galaxy whether she wants it or not. I used to respect her but now her claims of Imperial Justice and Honor are looking like the empty words of a figurehead.”

TITLE: Republicans Gain as Liberals Wane

DESCRIPTION:
Recent months have been difficult for the Federation’s Liberal party, as tensions between the Federation and the Empire have eclipsed the party’s humanitarian initiatives. Since early June, 13 influential systems have cut ties with Liberal Party, with more poised to follow suit. Some former supporters of Shadow President Winters have even become disturbingly active in Imperial circles. The Oto system in particular recently purchased large quantities of Imperial arms, and it is rumored that an Imperial fleet may soon be welcomed there.


In a statement to the Federal Times, conservative Congressman David Consuelo commented on the situation:


“Shadow President Winters is a fine lady. She’s done a great deal for the people of the Federation, and especially for the poor. But uncertain times lie ahead, and the people instinctively recognize President Hudson’s strong leadership and focus on defense is what the Federation needs most right now. They aren’t wrong.”

INSPIRATION:


Though not directly related to the topic at hand, these articles demonstrate an almost inexorable change in the political dynamic of the Federation that has been in progress since 3300. The Liberal Party has lost influence among the people of the Federation both in the context of "lore" and in the context of Powerplay of late. I would note that some of these articles would lead some to believe there is some skullduggery going on in Federation politics that lead to the loss of Liberal control of the presidential office, and the continued growth of the Republican/Conservative party. Inspiration for future articles. ;)

“Meanwhile in the Federation, another vote in Congress has gone against besieged President Halsey. She has been forced to remove her block on the Navy's latest budget. Shadow President Hudson declared this a major victory.”
25 DEC 3300 – Federal President Denies Onionhead Crackdown -
After the traditional Presidential Christmas Eve banquet in New York on Earth in Sol last night, the President was confronted by a crowd protesting against ‘Oniongate' - and the bombing of fields and farms on Panem in Kappa Fornacis.Struggling to speak above the noise of the crowd chanting “Babykiller”, President Halsey answered questions from the press."I have heard about the terrible events on Panem. I did not issue any orders to crack down on the narcotic onionhead, and certainly did not authorise bombings of the surface. Admiral Vincent has operated without my authority and I have asked for an enquiry to see how this happened."This is a surprising development, as it seems unlikely Admiral Vincent would have acted without support from the top. Some are saying this is Halsey washing her hands of the problem.

Disaster struck in Lugh today, following orders given by President Halsey demanding that Federal pilots attack and destroy an unarmed refugee convoy as it fled from the fighting around Lugh 6. It is estimated that 9,322 innocent Federal civilians lost their lives in the attack.The President claims that she was presented with evidence by the Joint Intelligence Committee which confirmed that Éamonn Uí Laoghire, leader of the Crimson State Group, would be aboard one of the transports with his entourage.However, sources close to the Crimson State Group claim that reports of Éamonn’s presence on the refugee ships were nothing more than fabrications.Shadow President Hudson has sworn that an official investigation into the matter will be launched once the current crisis is over.

“The results are in and Zachary Hudson is the overwhelming choice for the new President of the Federation.
A record number of attendees appeared in Congress on Mars to take part in yesterday's Vote of No Confidence against the Liberal Administration, with almost every member of Congress appearing in person to cast their vote.In the end, a shocking 66% of Congress voted to remove the Liberal Administration from office, a clear indicator that the collected Federal worlds feel a change in leadership style is necessary. ...Winters needs to build her own supporter base before she can bring power back to the Liberals.”

“Felicia Winters has already proved to be a versatile opponent, and in many opinion polls is running level with President Hudson. Many voters are growing concerned by the President’s aggressive rhetoric and are turning to the Liberal Party to counter what they see as a road to war.

"Halsey further surprised reporters by stating that she had recently met with Alliance Prime Minster Edmund Mahon, and that she would soon be relocating to a system within Alliance space.”

TITLE: Canonn Ocellus Station set for immediate relocation

Commander Chopper of the Canonn Research Group, and CEO of Phiince-based R&D company ChopTech caused a bit of a stir in his keynote speech at a scientific convention on George Lucas station in Leesti today:

"The superpowers are installing what can only be described as aggressively defended Barnacle Farms in the Pleiades. Non-destructive research should be carried out on these fascinating creatures and any activities that could possibly be seen as genocide of an alien species must be recorded and reported."

"I have given permission for the Canonn Research Group to refit my Ocellus station in Phiince, Chopper's Orbital. A group of Canonn engineers led by Director Julian McCoy have already calculated that it can be fitted with suitable drives to make the 356.75LY jump to Pleione where they will use T9 tug ships and tow it the remaining 275ls into a 0.2ls orbit around Pleione 4, subject to approval from the Pilot’s Federation."

"Canonn will soon be submitting a request for the necessary equipment and supplies for the relocation."

"This is about the future of humanity and our ability to keep a clear conscience. Let's not turn a blind eye while others carry out such atrocities in our name."

Hey Ian,

Thank you for the publications!

Not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet, but the August GalNet dates are out of order on the Community site. 06 AUG somehow found its way between 05 and 04... or 05 leapfrogged 06.

Title: 9th Legion analyses Space Madness.

Description: The 9th Legion has been making use of it's deployment to the Prou nebula by experimenting the effects of different jumps ranges on space madness.

Over the course of the week they have been utilising two commanders and the difference between their ships. One being able to jump almost 30 ly and the other only 18.

After an extended time the flight controllers were instructed to start giving audio cues and feeding the participants false information, causing one to start having panic attacks and delusions of markers on his sensors although he had switched them off 1000 ly previosuly to conserve heat.

Although the experiment is not over, it has already been noted that the shorter jump range has experienced higher levels of stress and loss of appetite, leading to a lack of efficiency.

More will be reported on the results of this trial when it has concluded

Submitting Commander: Heathen Jester

Inspiration: They actually did this to me and I started imagining hearing crickets and seeing markers on my sensors. Halfway to Jaques.

Title: CHILDREN OF RAXXLA LEADER SPEAKS OUT
Copy:

A member of the leadership council of one of the Galaxy’s most secretive organisations has spoken out in favour of the Twin Candles’ initiative to free slaves at Jaques Station.

Commander Jellicoe, a Federal citizen by birth, is known to hold strong views on the evils of slavery. However, it is unprecedented for the Children of Raxxla to publicly acknowledge their own existence in this way.

“My organisation does not, as a rule, comment on political affairs. However, the issue of slavery is one that transcends factional squabbles – it is a question of fundamental human dignity. That is why I urge all citizens of the Federation, the Alliance and indeed the Empire to heed the Twin Candles’ call to transport Slaves to Jaques Station during the upcoming second expedition on 15th August. Let us give these people freedom! Now is our chance to build a society of equals."

TITLE: Civil Unrest Threatens Jaques Station


DESCRIPTION:
Reports of growing civil unrest in the remote Jaques Station have increased in recent days. Local security officials have confirmed that they may be forced to impose a lockdown if the unrest continues.


Francine Townsend, an independent trader who made the long trek to Jaques Station in her Zorgon Petersen Hauler, is among those currently stranded at the station. On-site freelance reporters recorded her account.


“I didn’t expect to see so many people crowded in the bay when I landed here. I was likewise unprepared for the pleas from dozens of people begging for passage back to the core worlds. When I told them I didn’t have sufficient provisions to take on passengers, a few of them rushed the boarding ramp, hijacked my vessel, and took off. I was stunned as automated starport defenses proceeded to destroy my ship. Incidentally, if anyone can provide transport home, I’ll pay good money…”

7 AUG 2016 - by Sitoutumaton, Communism Interstellar
Bounty hunters and the like, if you can bother the mega-long haul, there is an interesting situation developing out here in Eol Prou nebula.
Jaques Station is queued up for Civil Unrest and Lockdown.
There are no contacts to turn bounties to yet, but the impending fix of station should rectify that. Civil Unrest is nice for that, as it increases value of bounties handed. Lockdown on the other hand shuts down markets, which is poison to the current mining goal and any future ones.
If shipyard is added here, and there are sufficient ships and modules offered, one should be able to set up a combat vessel for bounty hunting and pirate chasing here.
