Unified Law draft 1 is here
The CredSec lead project to unify the law-system within the sector was long overdue all our experts claim. The differences in law, created countless loopholes for criminals to slip through.
The Results are a streamlined code of law, which bases on the accepted restrictions within one inhabited system. Thus, the code is, from now on called “Restriction Level”. There are generally three levels of restrictions that are the overarching law-level for the system. The only exception builds the “Null Security/Fly Warning”-zones. These are usually controlled by a joined operation of the Governmental faction in which’s territory such a zone lies and CredSec security forces who act as a link and supporting element. Each Governmental Faction has the right to propose only one of their territorial systems as a maximum restriction system. Every surrounding system may be claimed as level 2 restriction zone. This can be changed via application at the CredSec Law-Symposium, as the need arises. The costs are to be paid by the applying faction.
This is one big first step on the way to a unified law, and one day maybe, a unified sector.
ECB Clash of Titans
In an epic battle throughout the traditional and spiritual home of the Shiguen Empire, the “Reaches of Nihon”, Arasaka’s Devastator and the Cardinal Sins had a lengthy and intensive clash, deemed the final before the final by many. The records of viewership just recently done, were, yet again, surpassed. And while the Cardinal Sins were eventually beaten by the end of the match, they achieved something most thought impossible. Greed on the one hand showed in an exemplary attack, where he pushed his limits to unknown hights, that CS are a formidable foe on the battlefield, even for the likes of ARK. This stunned not only out experts but also people at Arasaka themselves. Our friend Ghorro Hatia from Arasaka’s implant-department said: ”It is amazing what our tech can achieve even though its an older generation. You see many of CS warriors were using high end gear from our consumer technology and it shows. Especially Mr. Hawkings attack on Ms. Tokohaima, proofed unmistakenly, that only Arasaka tech can challenge Arasaka tech.” And while that may be very true, many think of the Cardinal Sins as winner of the hearts. The progress of the Sprava Group and the few people at its head show how vast the possibilities of the sector really are. On the other hand, The extremely well received participation of Commander Zoldak, leader of the Sprava Group, was probably the reason for Mr. Kabukisama Arasaka himself participating in this very match himself. This is a gesture of respect, unprecedented. He even left his own marriage preparations unattended for this very reason. Sprava really seems to be worth taking a second look within the upcoming history of the Shiguen Empire.
Sector Map Update
After the initial drafting of the unified restrictions code, the digital map of the sector and its neighbourhood within the Cerberus Void was updated, to more precisely show the restriction levels and overall to look sleeker and more distinguished. The overall colour schemes were used again, with light tweaks here and there to be easier on the eyes. As the unified law progresses, the map will also be constantly updated, to resemble these changes.
SDF Sweeping
This last month, the SDF-Alliance was marching through the territories like a machine. The success of operation Hydra just now fully shows in the way, the [CSM]-forces are unable to withstand the massive, joined operation front that pounds them into submission. Though the war effort itself is quite difficult now, especially in financial questions, but the SDF-Alliance Armadas are really synergizing right now.
Hela Gone?
Our contacts in the [ORCA] region told us the government lost contact with the Hela system. It was pretty much instantly declared a NSFW-zone by CredSec. This at least goes to show, that the situation is real and serious. Not much else is known, other then countless speculations. The consensus is, that another system was declared autonomous or lost to the government due to the extreme civil unrest.
CredSec found another system
Gorgon in the outer west of the sector, was theorized for a long time about, but just recently discovered. The system contains two main sequence stars and three major planets as well as a dense asteroid cloud surrounding it. CredSec quickly acted and established a distinct station in the system. With that there is pretty much no unexplored space left within the sector, other then a few areas which are deemed to dangerous to be explored.
New spyware detected
A new malign software circles the SecNet, dubbed “Sigill-os/SecNet.exe” not much is known about the program, other then it collecting massive amounts of information from thousands of sources. For now it seems to follow SecNet regulations, but we were asked to make you guys aware of its existence. Watch out especially ship owners, since this is the way such programs tend to spread, per ship from system to system.
Soft Ito under new leadership
Following one of the largest sector-wide updates of the library of SecNet and the savety issuesthat turned up, Soft Ito was tasked with fixing these issues. Relatively unknown is, that while the operation was at play a silent change in leadership happened. As it appears Prof. Ito was released of his duties, as head of the Ito company, following some promises not fullfilled with contractors, our sources state. The new CEO Dr. Orano Kabuja was the one striking the deal with SecNet to maintain the SecNets security software.
Drake`s Warthog
Out Now!!!
Chihuahua almost gone
Chihuahua the outer most system of the [ORCA] territory is rumored to be in the process of diverge from the rest of its core territory and declare independence from [ORCA], yet nothing is official. But this would be a big break, since it was government close companies who were entrusted with colonizing this system over a year ago.
[ORCA facing collapse]
The last years, the [ORCA] territories have been struck by catastrophe after catastrophe. Now it seems this massive faction of ultra rich indiviuals and families is facing imminent collapse. With the most powerfull seeking refuge in the core worlds, which are almost isolated as of late, the other systems fall to anarchy. Although they are (for now) held together by [ORCA]s military, the upcoming months look out to be grim.
[ORCA] calls for aid
It is only now, that, against official [ORCA] statements, representatives of many [ORCA] based factions decided to seek help at their once enemies embassies on Jisay. Just recently, spokesman Leornardo Costa Estenzo spoke at the Jisay embassy of [USNE] to both [USNE] and [SHIF] politicians to officially seek humanitarian help.
He was invited by empress Yunkosai afterwards to evaluate possibilities of a treaty.
Tech news:
CELL Cybernetics reveal
On the latest cybernetics symposium at Rawson in the Megon system, CELL Cybernetics came out on top with their latest tech-development in the field of human organ enhancement and replacement. This next step up from their previous “Sprint” series, is code named “Cryptonite” after an ancient legend of super humans whose strength was dependent on this fictional material.
[WATI] under scrutiny
After a recent quality testing indicated a severe water contamination, with bacteria and multi-cell parasites. Now [ICE] the Interplanetary Coordination of Economics, a group made from representatives of various [ORCA] based companies, is to investigate the circumstances, that led to this breach of contract of one of the most renowned water suppliers of the sector.
[SPG] and [NFL] kickstarter
Our sources from inside the Shigueni`s most influencial corpos, state there might be a joint venture kickstarter go live in the next few weeks, regarding the ECB trading card game. We even heard this whole brand will get its own entertainment branch, meaning games, movies and other content possibly for years to come.
E-Thot Spotlight: Ms. Delaware Fignit
As promised, we feature one of the hottests contestors for this years Ms Connect-contest, which will start at the end of this year.
She was born and raised on Bergen in the heart of the United Splash Nebula Empire. She was an unruly girl that dropped out of school with 14 and joined a ragtag band of outlaws that roamed up and down the golden band. This life of hers came to an sudden stop, when she and her comrades were captured by [USNE] anti pirate patrols and imprisoned. She was doing forced labor for the next six years on Polyeid 1`s gas mines until she was released on probation after her section-instructor and director both signed a document confirming her full psychological and social rehabiltation. Rumors have it, she used some “special talents” of hers to get them to do it. These however will not help her win this upcoming contest, where the judges are sworn in and absolutely incorruptible
Shinobi blocking mobilisation
The Shinobi Group is the largest internal enemy of the current Shigueni government. The group made of several noble families of the Shiguen Empire territory, are openly against many of the governmental directions and actively block some of the financial ressources to be invested into the latest SDF ambitions. This makes the war efforts as a whole more difficult as it also directly translates to the effort the [USNE] government has to undergo to keep the SDF Alliance going.
CredSec under attack
After the latest great steps of CredSec, a number of hits has been dealt out upon different functionaries of CredSec in the area of the fringe belt and its closer western territory. Since last week, 13 higher officers and 24 lower ranking functionaries have been killed in several cowardly hits. Rumors have it the appearing of the Reavers, might be a clue as well as the reactivation of the [ASU]. A taskforce of special CredSec operators has been detached to investigate the cases of assassination and destroy the ones responsible.
Court Trials first meeting
The case is close to being officially made. This week (tracking time), a first meeting of the representatives in the case “Soul Reaper” was being held. We think a trial of the Reaper is close.
Tech news
Seca Energy Solutions kicked off prototype testing on graviton fusion energy production (GFEP) last month.
This field of energy generation is the latest promising field, following the mobile cold fusion tech. If reliable and save, this tech could be used to produce 10 times as much energy at the same scale as conservative reactors.
We`ll watch your back
Following the detection of [CSM] structures in the southern regions of the Cerberus Void as well as the recently destroyed (presumably) hostile Vessel in the Megon 1512 system, Shiguen and United Empire agreed to install two more watch satellite stations. These will be guarding the southern Cerberus Void. The costs for the joined operation including the watch satellites and infrastructure have risen almost uncontrollably by now. Both [SHIF]and [USNE] goverment work-groups are researching possibilities to generate income from a government standpoint as well as how to pledge the civilian public in the war effort financially.
Cerberus Void progress
Lis under new command
After operation Hydra, War hero and Shiguen functionary Commander Bartosz Lubomir Zoldak was honored by being allowed to manage and rule (in the name of the empress) over the system of Lis and its world – Reach. He is now responsible for everything that happens there, be it good or bad. The nobles of [SHIF] agree, it should be used to further the greatness of the Shiguen Empire beyond its current borders. With all that is going on above the surface of the planet, Commander Zoldak will be having all hands full of work, as it stands.
Tech News
This week, we had the opportunity to get a sneak peak at “Interactive Personalized and Assisted Datapads”, (IPAD)`s newest underarm personal holo datapad. It is nicknamed “Antis”, and it is supposed to revolutionize the personal handhelds of the last decade or so.
To the roots
A new wave of super-successfull music recently hit the net. Seems the younger folk enjoy sounds of nature and spiritual scapes just as much as electronic or hardcore rock pieces. This mirrors the yearning for lush forrests, mountains and deep seas over the city-hives. This is a development, the exploration elements within the sector, should be very excited about, since it will be so much easier, to fill their ranks with highly motivated, young talents.
Science news
An earlier uproar by the scientific world was lately confirmed. There is some kind of backgroundradiation-rise apparent, whichs cause is yet to be found. It is not dangerous at this point, but is a slight concern for out physics experts.
A new Hope
Jackson P. Kamaran, star director and independent film-maker, has been recorded by accident recently, talking (supposedly) about reviving a classic science fiction series. We of course talk about Firefly. Fans of the original immediately jumped aboard the hypetrain, even though nothing is official at this point. Kamaran not even gave a statement about the recording yet neither confirming nor denying it.
Rumors have it, he even has found a distant descandant of the original casts lead, Jason Fillion
[ORCA] royals shattered
The uncertain times within the [ORCA] territory has a new victim. House Bexton-Hollis, royal family of Mas, in the Galeyrn system, has lost all its financial grip on the planet, its influence and its allies. The family had to flee the planet in secrecy, to avoid the mobs that roamed the streets, chasing all that had any ties with the ruined royal house. The Bexton-Hollis family were famous for its notorious matriarchy, that produced some of the most skilled pilots in the [ORCA] military. Political experts claim, we would see such things more and more in the future, after the core-world-isolation of [ORCA].
Inquisition returned
After the recent incident at the ECB`s, where a Connect worker tried to cheat in the randomization of the matchmaking software, CredSec supported Connect in the investigation to find whoever were behind the action. This shed some light on some of the ECB background. The most interesting yet is who the paying party behind “Patrona Invictus” is. Turns out, the catholic church of [ACO] had large sums invested in data trade, which is a legal operation, but since it is completely managed by CredSec, pretty anonymous. The sums invested were then reinvested into a fund which is and was largely used to support non-profit-groups, mostly humanitarian ones. One of the recipients of such “supports” was until the start of this year, when he was officially called into missionary service, Pater Giulio Pescada, leader of the Patrona Invicta sub-faction based on Leides within the Pope system. The Patrona Invictus ECB Team-Lead is Mr. Fabio Pescada, unlawfull son and by [ACO]`s ruling not officially related in any way, of Pater G. Pescada himself. We requested a statement about this connection from [ACO] officials, which has yet to be made.
Another interesting fact, and the audience will love that, is that the owner of the Cardinal Sins, Commander Zoldak himself, took up the role of Sorrow, after his former teammember Sgt. J. Grump died in the battle of operation Hydra. We would like to see more of the suits actually taking up a gun (Or sword 😉 and participate. This will boost their apreciation-level even more, our experts predict.
No honor among pirates
A recent attack on the Black Skull infrastructur turned out to be the making of a smaller but not less aggressive pirate groups, which were feared in the fringe belt for decades, the Reavers. Though the eastern sector has not really been their hometurf until now, they seem to have established a well funded infrastructure, from where the strike have been organised. We do not condone any piracy whatsoever, but as we predicted, Karma found a way to repay some of the elements haunting the sector. [USNE] officials stated they will monitor the situation with great caution, and will send send some seeker teams to try and uncover from where those attacks were made.
Gas Transporter Cataclysm
Styx, in the Tassi system. One of Nissins giant Gastransporters crashed into the civilian station Haven 2 last week. The station security and administration managed to evacuate a large number of inhabitants, but the station as a whole was lost. There are at least 12.000 people dead as a direct result of the crash, and some are still not stable after being exposed to the vacuum of space. Nissin officials expressed their devastation and promised to support the victims and their relatives in any way necessary. Nissin CEO, Anikawa Houzen gave a moving speech to the public claiming responsibility before comitting suicide under the supervision of the organisations elder Akizama Harotukawa. This is the ancient way of dealing with guilt, and by tradition his honor was preserved.
