Prime Minister Mahon Announces Open Trade Agreement in Old World Cluster

Prime Minister Mahon Announces Open Trade Agreement in Old World Cluster



During a press conference in Alioth earlier today, Prime Minister Edmund Mahon expressed his gratitude towards the independent pilots who supported his initiative to strengthen the Alliance's economic presence in the Old Worlds cluster. Mahon declared intention to keep the cluster open for traders of all affiliations and has announced an open trade agreement that will grant any trader safe passage.

To ensure the safety of trader ships in the sector, Prime Minister Mahon has commissioned the Alliance Defence Force to establish a permanent presence in the sector, to counter the growing threats to civilian traders from piracy and crime. The deployment of this new Alliance strike force is expected to take place within the next few weeks.

Federal Vigilantes Defy All Galactic Powers

Federal Vigilantes Defy All Galactic Powers



A long standing Federation leaning vigilante group has announced today that it is declaring itself its own sovereign power, defying all of the great galactic powers in what members of the groups are calling a struggle between "politicians, slavers and warlords."

The Armada will instead be working to create its own system of governance, based upon its own particular rules of law. The Armada will remain headquartered in the Ngaliba system, where it has resided since 2900 as a Federal detachment of a classified inter-factional combat force. Post Commander Tyllerius Adle pulled his force out of the secretive organization in 3200, re-branding his group as "Adle's Armada" in the process.

In 3301 the Armada still shrouds its self in secrecy and only recruits the finest and cleanest of conscience combative pilots into its ranks.

The group has been known to spring up in times of need to defend the defenceless against forces that seek to to evil in the Galaxy. Adle's Armada will now be acting as its own power in the universe, with members of the group operating primarily in the Ngaliba, Mbukuravi and Kremainn systems.

GalNet reached out to members of Congress for comment, but at time of press had received no reply.

The Science of a Safer Society

The Science of a Safer Society



Thousands of Pegasi sector civilians were forced to evacuate their homes last week, following a series of brutal raids carried out in the name of Archon Delaine.

Some resilient residents have attempted to reach out to the Federation and Empire homeworlds for assistance, but so far, their pleas for help have gone unanswered. This leaves the question on everyone's lips: who will stop the Kumo Crew?

Local business magnate, Pranav Antal, believes that his Utopians may well be able to provide an answer.

"Their greed, their jealousy… these are the things that drive the Kumo to try to own, control and destroy everything they see."

"This desire for base things has led the crew down a dark path, one which has caused much pain for the people of Pegasi. We at Utopia understand their sorrow, their troubles, and we want to help."

"Agents of Utopia are seeking to open a new commune in Hip 116213. Once approved, our engineers will begin the dangerous process of establishing an enlightened defence against the uncivilised horde."

Terror in the Pegasi Sector

Terror in the Pegasi Sector



Archon Delaine and his Kumo Crew have continued their seemingly unstoppable rampage across the Pegasi sector this week, with the Crew managing to establish new strongholds in Arawere, Huaich, LTT 16548 and San Muss.

Reports coming in from the sector indicate that the Kumo Crew are now operating in over 160 different systems, with millions of people being forced to pay the pirates for protection, or else risk death or dismemberment for failing to do so.

Many smaller interstellar corporations have announced that the Pegasi sector is now off limits, a fact which will doubtless lead to more suffering for residents of the region as their economies become affected by the lack of workable trade routes.

Almost 20 billion members of the Federation live within territory that has now been claimed by the Kumo Crew. Despite this, the Federation has yet to take an official stance on the Pirate King's activities.

GalNet reached out to the Federal Navy for comment and was informed that:

"The Navy is aware of the situation in the Pegasi sector. The issue will be resolved in due course, but we are unable to divulge any operational details at this time."

The Pilots Federation Supports Fuel Rat Initiative

The Pilots Federation Supports Fuel Rat Initiative



Each year, thousands of pilots go missing in the black.

Some are waylaid by pirates. Others are lost to the dangers of space. However, an estimated 63% of all deep space losses are attributed to pilots who simply run out of fuel in an area where others rarely tread.

Now a new initiative, which is being backed by the Pilots Federation, is hoping to turn those figures around. A group of independent pilots, calling themselves the Fuel Rats, have begun patrolling the outer fringes of civilisation. Their mission? To provide assistance to traders and explorers before their life support runs out.

Commander Murishani of the Fuel Rats issued the following public service announcement regarding what to do in case of a fuel shortage:

1) Do not panic. Panicking costs fuel and air. You are running out of both!

2) Remain with your ship. Exit supercruise. Throttle to 0. Disable nonessential modules.

3) Call for help from the Fuel Rats immediately. Time is precious.

4) Reduce activity and food consumption. Preserve oxygen. Wait for help.

A full list of active members of the Fuel Rats is available from the Pilots Federation upon request.

GalNet Weekly Conflict Report

GalNet Weekly Conflict Report



This weekly transmission takes the latest GalNet data and lists some of the systems currently in conflict around the galaxy. (*).

Here are 10 of the 8,008 minor factions involved in a civil war:

Liberty Party of LP 751-1

Revolutionary Party of Nuenets

Bhotho Rats

HIP 118169 Freedom Party

Bactondinks Ring

Green Party of Lung

Bactondinks Life Corporation

Blue Major Exchange

HIP 118169 Silver Electronics

Civil wars take place between minor factions in the same system over ownership of major assets like starports. During civil wars only combat missions and activities help bring the conflict to a resolution. Security, development level and standard of living indicators all drop for the duration of the civil war.

The following are 10 of the 3,020 minor factions at war:

LHS 1197 Inc

Dukes of Shangdi

Union of Iteliuona Resistance

Cuchoen Inc

Samnienas Crimson Hand Gang

Justice Party of HIP 21414

Quechua Citizens' Forum

Trua Gold Ring

Usipedia Noblement

Kuan Gu Collective

Wars occur when a minor faction invades another star system. For the duration of the conflict standard of living, wealth and security are all severely impacted. Combat missions and activates determines who wins the war. If no winner emerges then the war will end in a ceasefire.

Li Yong-Rui and Arissa Lavigny-Duval Open Embassies

Li Yong-Rui and Arissa Lavigny-Duval Open Embassies



In a press release issued to GalNet this morning, Commanders of the Pilots' Federation affiliated with both Sirius Corporation and Princess Arissa Lavigny-Duval have announced the completion of discussions leading towards the imminent preparation of embassies near each power's territory.

The systems to be used for this trial run are Sietae and Heverduduna. Sietae will allow Sirius Corporation to obtain a substantial increase on Bounty Hunting income. Heverduduna will allow Sirius Corporation to gain access to the Imperial Clipper, an asset still missing from their portfolio. In return, Sirius Corporation's scale will allow substantial shipyard and outfitting rebates to Commanders aligned to Arissa Lavigny-Duval.

Should this investment be profitable to the Corporation, a well-informed employee of the Corporation has told GalNet that Sirius will extend the offer of cooperation to all interested parties.

GalNet Weekly Security Digest

GalNet Weekly Security Digest



In this weekly report the latest GalNet data is assembled to present ten minor factions experiencing civil unrest or lockdown in their systems (*).

The following are 10 of the 412 minor factions are in lockdown:

NLTT 53690 Republic Party

Yupini Imperial Society

Calhuacan Empire Party

Democrats of Chamunda

Kaliki Citizens' Forum

Wolf 906 Incorporated

Vodyanes Emperor's Grace

Crowfor Vision Services

Groombridge 1618 Inc

LTT 14437 Labour

Lockdowns increase the security rating for a system but also have a negative effect on the system's wealth. Increased bounty hunting activity can reduce the lockdown period.

These are 10 of the 848 minor factions are experiencing civil unrest:

Biko Crimson Council

Simyr Constitution Party

Kalana Independents

Freedom Party of HIP 21778

Wong Guin Imperial Society

Freedom Party of LHS 3447

LFT 78 Patron's Principles

Crowfor Vision Services

Nunus Imperial Society

Aulin Silver United Company

Civil unrest is caused by illegal activity within the system as well completing contracts from more nefarious sources. The wealth rating and standard of living will suffer when a system contains civil unrest. Combat missions and activities can be utilised to end civil unrest.

Infection Running Rampant in BD-02 4304



Infection Running Rampant in BD-02 4304

Hundreds of businesses have closed and thousands of people are quarantined following an outbreak aboard Newton Dock in what could be the most devastating epidemic of the decade.

The illness, the origins of which are currently unknown, has made its way across much of the region. Reports are coming in from surrounding systems indicating that the infection might already be spreading.

Carl Simmons, the Chief Medical Officer of Newton Dock, released the following statement in regards to the spread of this disease:

"At the risk of causing a panic, it is my duty to report that the outbreak is spreading at an alarming rate. Until we have identified how it managed to reach so many systems in such a short span of time, residents are advised to stay in their homes and travellers are advised to avoid the area."

"Early signs of infection include vomiting blood, excessive sweating, sores and waves of intense dizziness. If you suspect you've been infected, please report to the local authorities at the earliest available opportunity. They will inform you how to proceed."

In total almost 27 million residents now find themselves at risk from either disease, famine or both.
