Arnorbj. Ordeno system. Scientists exploring the vast jungles of the tropic planet with a thick, co2-heavy atmosphere, discovered pockets or valleys, inside these jungles, which have a breathable gas mixture inside and fauna, that is reminiscent of the old earth Jurassic-era of the Mesozoic age. While initial exploration through drones seemed perfectly fine, human exploration operations are much more dangerous.

Bishop Ermano Allientos of the [ACO] gave a brief press conference, where he spoke of an ancient enemy of the katholic church, which will experience the full force of Christ`s chosen people.

Tech-news from Shiguen Federation space. Word on the street is, Arasaka would be ready for their next big release. We spoke to one of the senior-rnd-teamleaders, Mrs. Yamato, she did not say anything definitve, but hinted at a big reveal later this week. Thought we give you a headsup. Arasakas shares recently droped, following the rapid releases of Misaki`s PDI-series. So we can expect a banger this time. Some claim they might even drop their massively hyped, yet indefinetly relayed military grade implant which was initiated after the invasion by [CSM].

New Germania sends specialists to Possum 134, to help their neighbours with an ambitious project codenamed "Notre Dame".

[SHIF] calls back all assets from [USNE] territory. New negotiations initiated in Manila.

[SHIF] sends troops into Ibballa to fight back the invading forces of [CSM].

The [USNE] capital fleet seizes the Thorfin-system along with Devon back from the [ORCA] strike fleet.

The map of our sector keeps changing all the time. In this recent month, New Germania sent assets into [ACO] space to maybe build some new diplomatic bonds to the old neighbor, while the newly merged [USNE] forces wiped [ORCA] clean out of the Thorfin system. Further south [SHIF] assets left [USNE] space to reinitiate serious negotiations with ex[USE] officials to talk about expanding a military partnership, to oppose the ever growing [CSM] threat. Meanwhile the Shiguen Federation military sent a sizable fleet into the Ibballa system to fight back the ruthless invader. The north-expansion however is still ongoing with Liu Min getting more and more ressources to really get the colonisation going. CredSec associates, in the meantime, claim the war would soon peak in terms of costs for the big factions and logically their people.

Once again Devon is the epicentre of the recent fringe-war-development. Following the atrocious atmosphere killer strike by [ORCA], a massive fleet of ex-[ASU] and [USE] forces attacked the [ORCA] strikefleet. This joined endevaour was extremely successful. The strike fleet was completely destroyed. Not a single [ORCA]-ship was able to flee the system, reports state. Where one of the mayor [USE] trade-hubs used to be, there is now a radioactive rock with just remains of a trace atmophere, surrounded by a vast, toxic and extremely dense debree-field. Since its initial colonisation, Devon has been struck by war again and again. It is a tragic symbol of humanities greatest flaw.

United Splash Nebula Empire

The latest news from Devon hinted at such a development, but the scope of what happened, shocked even our finest experts. [ASU] and [USE] joined forces. BIG TIME. Both faction merged under the name "United Splash Nebula Empire". [USNE]. A press meeting was held over holo with the new leader of this faction, President Keeran Jelaya. It is obvious, that this is the final step of "ex"[ASU] to become a respectable faction, and "ex"[USE]`s next step in a war, that has been spiraling out of control for a few years now. Regardless, [ORCA] now has a lot more to be afraid about in the fringes, and it might show, that it is a lot more on their plate now, then their are able to chew. We at SecNet consider such a merge generally a good thing, since it is, for now, a guarantee for peace between [USE] and [ASU], but we have to admit, we fear for the people in and around the fringes.

Siden lost their chief-behaviour-engineer, Haisan Ibarhad, last week. Following the recent release of the “Rex V3” drone, of which Ibarhad was an essential part in development, he died in his house in Kabuki PonPon. Siden`s medical team states, his death may be the result of massive stress-induced aneurysm, but investigation is ongoing. Collegues and superiors describe him as “incredibly intelligent” and “hard working”. He truly is considered a loss for Siden and Kabuki. Though he has no close family in Kabuki, a small funeral service will be held next monday 1600 at Vault 31, Kaizen Vaults. 

! ! ! BREAKING ! ! !

[ORCA]`s Devon-strike fleet was defeated by the combined [ASU] and [USE] forces. We will update you as information becomes available.

Rumors state, Shiguen operates a secret base on a dark planet orbiting a black hole, named Myslos, representative of the SecCred-institute claim.  Were that true, [USE] would face a massive provocation near their fringe war front. That might even be considered an act of war. This would certainly destabilize the relations after recent political tensions. We are still aiming to verify this information, but the proximity to the battlefront makes it nigh impossible to actually go there and investigate.

The diplomatic differences between the United Sol Empire and Shiguen Federation reached a new hight after the initial colonisation of the “Liu Min”-System, which is home to two possible terraforming candidates, “Kikuman” and “Rayan”. Govenour Ted Rovest of Vienna found clear words towards [SHIF] during his excitatory speech, at the [USE] NAtions congress last week.

“Maybe our friends at Shiguen need a little reminder how brittle the bonds are of which they are, lately, so dependant on. It would take but a mere word in the right ears, and there would not be anything left, holding back the flood of invaders. Of course we as a Government are not interested loosing our long time partnership with a most loyal and dear ally. But I can not stretch enough, that the very future of our diplomacy lies now in the trusted hands of the Shiguen Federation.”

He was holding that speech following the news of the latest  development in the north expansion of [SHIF].  

With the current border-crisis ongoing, near Manila, experts fear the diplomatic relations between [USE] and [SHIF] could become seriously damaged at this point. In a time of unprecedented conflict, people are afraid, that it is only one small step to open a new war front, leading to millions of more victims, without the corpos and politicians caring at all about the lifes of their people. We will update you all, as information becomes available. But for now, advice you to avoid traveling in the before mentioned area.
