Title: Independent Researchers Discover Unknown Probes

Description: In a new twist on the ongoing mystery of the Unknown Artifacts, independent researchers have discovered Unknown Probes orbiting a number of Ammonia worlds in the vicinity of the Pleiades Nebula. It is believed that Cmdr ilo of Canonn Research was the first to find a 'free-floating' Unknown Probe around the 8th planet of Pleiades Sector KC-U B3-1.
On analysis of the transmission of the Unknown Probes, Cmdr Muetdhiver discovered that the probe is transmitting information about the planets it orbits. Using Merope 5C as a reference, the probes transmit information about the radius, temperature, gravity, and atmospheric composition.

Prior to the discovery of these Unknown Probes, they had only previously been known to be transported by Federation Navy convoys near Ross 47.
In the light of these fresh discoveries independent scientists, including Canonn Research, are demanding that the Federation reveal what they know about the Unknown Probes, where their convoys are bringing them from, and to confirm the meaning of the mysterious 'spectrogram' image.

Title: EARLY COLONISTS LAUNCH NEW CITIZENS NETWORK
Content:

This summer has been marked by activity and excitement around Jaques Station, which was discovered to have mis-jumped to a nebula near the Galactic Core in late June. Since then, several expeditions, community initiatives and colonisation efforts have been made to establish a second base for humanity, in what has become known as the Colonia Nebula.

For some weeks a group of early colonists have been working on a central communications network to underpin the budding society. This was officially launched today as the Colonia Citizens Network, or CCN.

“We hope that CCN will serve as a binding force for the new Colony, to help us coordinate our efforts and establish a real community out here,” remarked Erimus Kamzel, one colonist.

Intrepid pilots looking to travel to the Colonia Nebula are invited to register on the CCN, where they can make contact with others who live and work there.

Note to editor: This article covers something that happened in-game to Commander Salomé of the Children of Raxxla. I'm not sure if Drew Wagar is planning to publish his own article recounting this event or if he intends for us players to cover it. In the case of the former then this article is unnecessary as it will be addressed by Lore Master Drew himself :)

Title: Commander Salomé hijacked in Cemiess

Recent articles published in the Imperial Citizen may have inspired an act of violence in the Cemiess system over the weekend. Commander Nodus Cursorius of the Chapterhouse Inquisition reported a transmission from Commander Salomé of the Children of Raxxla indicating that her ship had been attacked and boarded by forces unknown.

A transcript of Commander Salomé's distress call read as follows: "Heavy fire.... mayday! Imperial markings! Traitors... shields are down, we're taking damage.... it's... I thought I sensed his arrogance! How dare... We're being boarded. I only have moments. Please get word to the Children of Raxxla... tell them I have uncovered new information. The Rift, Hawkin's Gap and the Conflux are somehow connected with strange happenings in the Pleiades... they must find out before...."

At that point Commander Salomé's transmission was silenced and, despite a thorough search for wreckage, no sign of Salome was located.

The Imperial Citizen recently indicated that Commander Salomé is, in fact, none other than Senator Kahina Tijani Loren of the Prism system and seemed to imply that she may have engineered the events that led to her family's death in order to position herself from least favorite daughter to heiress of the Loren family dynasty.

Title: Abduction of Commander Salomé
Location: GalNet. Otherwise local news in HR 6421, Pokomovoi, Daras, Umait and Bhotadda.
Date: ASAP

The Children of Raxxla has announced that the ship of Commander Salomé has been attacked and boarded by ships with Imperial markings on them in Cemiess.

Commander Thorn of the Children of Raxxla said: "We received a Mayday call from Commander Salomé. We lost contact with her shortly afterwards. We think that Commander Salomé is still alive and have scrambled a search and rescue team."

Commander Thorn continued: "Commander Salomé must have been on to an Imperial secret. The editorials published by the Imperial Citizen on Commander Salomé must have been propaganda to justify the use of violence on her."

As closing comments Commander Thorn said: "We'll get to the bottom of this. She had better be alive and unharmed when we find her, or else they will be the first to find out that the Children of Raxxla can fire more than just discovery scanners."

Title: Leaked Federal intelligence report classifies Emperors Dawn as 'hibernating'

In the aftermath of the assassination attempt on Denton Patreus several leaked documents of the Federal Intelligence Service dating back to January 3302 appeared in the galactic network.
One report states: 'The general public opinion in the Empire rejects Emperors Dawn. Therefore the organization is likely to go into a low activity state similiar to a hibernation, after suffering several crushing losses to imperial and federal forces.'

Another paragraph states: 'Emperors Dawn can't be defeated solely by military force. It's a hardline ideology which developed in the imperial high society and can be dormant for years, even for decades, before it becomes active and dangerous again. We strongly advise against any kind of support for Emperors Dawn, as their hardline stance makes it a high risk, low profit gamble at best.'

However Emperors Dawn is not the only enemy Denton Patreus has.

His role as admiral of the imperial fleet makes him a strategic target during the current federal-imperial tensions.
It is also unlikely that Archon DeLaine forgot the role Denton Patreus played during the Pegasii War.

Title: Imperial call for frontier solidarity

After the crushing defeat of the Empire at the battle of Pleiades Sector IH-V C2-16, Sitakapan Expeditionary Forces (SEF) commander General Ani Leonard has put out a call for Imperial loyalists in the frontier to rally against future Federal incursions.

"The Federation has shown itself to have the capability and cruel tenacity to reach out as far as the Pleiades Sector to put down opposition to it's expansionary warmongering. Federal extraction of meta-alloys and unknown artefacts from the sector can now go unchecked, and the ramifications of Federal weaponisation of these substances and devices could be dire to the galaxy. I encourage Imperial loyalists in the frontier to stand up and fight this growing oppression"

General Leonard went on to briefly discuss SEF plans to counteract Federal intentions, citing the planned funding of a new military program to fortify Imperial frontier holdings.

TITLE: Loose Ends


DESCRIPTION:
Following reports that the attempt on Admiral Patreus’ life may have been connected with Emperor’s Dawn, Captain Alexis Corvus, the commanding officer of Task Force Athena, offered the following analysis on the insurgent organization.


“Disturbingly, the attempt on Admiral Patreus’ life took place exactly one year to the day of Emperor’s Dawn’s first request for public support in Kamcha, Dinkas, and Jang Di. Imperial Intelligence indicates Emperor’s Dawn also had a presence in Shambhala and Svari, however, the level of the insurgency’s influence was never fully ascertained in these systems.”


“We still don't know the source of their vast funding, and loose ends like Damon Clarke the family of Brendon Paul Darius have been suspiciously eliminated. We also never found the resources delivered to Emperor's Dawn by independent commanders. For these many reasons, I fear that dismissing Emperor’s Dawn at this stage of the investigation is dangerously premature.”

Title: Mysterious plague or lastest fashion


Description:

"Chief Khalia Cummings of CDE Corporation, known by many as the harsh spoken trade director on Robigo Mines Outpost in Robigo turned orange all of the sudden. Malicious plague discovered or just a sudden change of makup? Co-workers of Ms. Cummings told us that she just turned up to work like this one day. Noone was brave enough to ask her about it out of fear of loosing their jobs. In light of the current Boom CDE Corporation is experiencing and the benifits that entail with it this might have been a smart decision. The question still stands what happened to Ms. Cummings? At the time this article is written we have send multiple requests for an interview to Ms. Cummings but have been turned down with excuse after excuse. Does Ms. Cummings have a dark secret or is she simply ashamed about her recent condition?"

Title: Buckyball Racing Club presents: Total Recall 2

Following the success of the Total Recall race back in April 3302, the BRC have once again been contacted by a leading manufacturer of SRV tyres to help fight a series of lawsuits being made against the company. Pilots from remote and inaccessible settlements dotted around the human bubble are claiming that their new range of TrakMark tyres have resulted in the destruction of SRVs after driving just a few short kilometers away from their homes and are not fit for purpose. It's up to the Buckyball Racing Club to prove them wrong.

The race, which starts in the Cernobog system, runs from the 27th August until the 4th September. Commanders interested in taking part should check their local community events forum for further details.

Title: Infernal Visions

Date: ASAP

Description:

Utopian systems are on high alert today after the condemned outcast Joseph Sulne escaped his confinement aboard Tanner Settlement in Polevnic.

Branded a heretic after conducting illegal scientific experiments, Sulne was sentenced to personality modification along with Exile, a punishment where his stored neural pattern is deleted from the Sim Archive.

As his escape became known, a short message assumed to be from Sulne was received by several of his scientific colleagues. It read:

"To those who reported my activities, I show clemency. To those who condemned me, I grant forgiveness. But I will not excuse those who lead us into extinction- to you I am a dangerous radical, but I will end humanity's stunted development and remould our species. You may deny me my place in the Sim Archive, but I will show you all another path beyond your myopic leadership, beyond anything you have ever known."

Title: Hello Pot? This is the Kettle calling you back.


Following the Victory in the Pleiades Powerkeg, Post Captain Adhock reportedly burst into uncontrollable laughter when asked about the accusations leveled at the Federation for the military action there.

When he recovered he apologized for his lapse in bearing, “I'm sorry but these accusations of 'Unwarranted Warmongering' are both baseless and ridiculous.”

“To start,” he continued. “Task Force Athena tried to convince the Imperial Senate we were going to develop EMP devices utilizing a recently discovered feature of the Unknown Probes as some sort of WMD. As if we would use such a thing when we already have perfectly good devices of HUMAN origin. Then proceeds to reportedly join the 13th Legion in using these devices to conduct a dirty bombing of a civilian target in an attempt to strike fear into Federation citizens and supporters.”

“Then you have Lavigny's Legion. You'd think a group that claims the Emperor as their only authority would conduct themselves according to Imperial Values. Instead they loudly proclaim they are responsible for the terrorist actions of firing indiscriminately on anyone, regardless of true allegiance, that was running supplies to the Federation. Instead of having the sense to be covert about it, they declare open war on anyone who isn't Imperial and denying the Federation to strike fear into people. All this while loudly decrying the Federation as a warmonger. The irony would sink a cruiser.”

“Finally in spite of Federation response to these acts and the Empire's silence, independent groups such as GalCop support the Empire making the claim that “Upon closer examination, the Federation has no basis for it's actions in the Pleiades Sector.” Well 'upon closer examination', Galcop needs to review their own ethics playbook because it seems to have missed the fact that the Empire struck first.”

“While President Hudson has responded in calling these actions of terrorism what they are and made a statement the Federation would not tolerate this, the Emperor has been silent. Many of my fellow Officers are convinced at this point, the Empire has declared Open War with the Federation unless the Emperor personally decries the actions of these groups attempting to drive the Empire to war with the Federation.”

“Hello Pot? This is the Kettle calling you back. Take a good look in the mirror will you?”
