Taayusaka CorpSec forces have received their first reinforcements since the large-scale withdrawal following the destruction of Bellevigne. These additional troops are reportedly being deployed to support the corporation’s ongoing anti-smuggling operations, which are suspected to span the entire Serthoulde constellation and beyond. With the cooperation of their client states’ law enforcement agencies, Taayusaka Eskeitan has intensified efforts to dismantle these illegal networks, which are seen as a growing threat to regional stability.
Over the course of these operations, Taayusaka-registered patrol craft have also been observed expanding their reach beyond the Athounon system, with sightings reported as far as the frontline system of Alparena, 3 gate jumps away. This broader presence suggests that the corporation is extending its influence and security operations to neighboring systems as they attempt to dismantle the smuggling network.
Reports of limited and fleeting planetary landings on remote industrial outposts and populated temperate planets in the Mercomesier and Reschard systems have also surfaced. These landings have occurred mostly without incident or significant altercations with local populations. The purpose of these visits remains unclear, though they are likely connected to the corporation’s expanding security operations.
Meanwhile, back in Athounon VI, the independent state of Belletere is experiencing growing pressure from Taayusaka’s new policies. Import restrictions and the confiscation of goods have led to widespread shortages of both commercial and industrial supplies, raising concerns that tensions could soon escalate into open conflict. The situation remains tense as Belletere struggles to maintain its independence amid mounting economic strain and the corporation’s tightening grip on the planet.
