Utopian News Network Special: A Distant Thunder (self.EliteAntal)
In the depths of space a new cold war has emerged between forces loyal to Zachary Hudson and those of Sirius Corporation.
As the core systems become increasingly crowded, attention is turning to the new frontiers offered by Sothis and its neighbour, Ceos. This development comes after tense diplomatic exchanges late last week damaged relations between the two groups, and the discovery of the rare mineral ‘Sothis Gold’ bringing the systems to galactic attention.
To compound the situation, Kumo commanders also wish to establish Sothis as a smuggling hub, while Sirius Corporation launches a counter offensive to defend another remote system, Robigo, from pirate attack.
Observers from other galactic powers will be looking on with concern, particularly in the nearby Utopian commune of Takurua and also those working to establish a new station in Merope. Speaking recently, notable exobiologist Jan Holtzman was despondent at events:
“These new worlds should bring us together in the joy of scientific discovery, not tear us apart with hatred and war. Endemic mistrust will be our species undoing.”
