Archavoinet Archive: United Neopian Federation Commandeers Zorya’s Vedmak

In the late hours of 5:00 NEST, United Neopian Federation coordinator and Purosupekuta CEO Sakabkei Kiijata called for an emergency fleet formation, citing the recent declaration of war from opposing alliance Galactic Mafia as a cause for an accelerated timeframe.

The fleet’s formation was to complete an operation planned for the following day, which was disrupted by Galactic’s sudden declaration, forcing Kiijata to move the operation to that morning. The operation itself was all but considered scrapped until Kiijata announced his intent to proceed with the operation, refusing to be delayed by, quote, “opportunistic structure hunters high on narcotics”.

By 5:32 NEST, the fleet was assembled and directed towards Archavoinet’s Emerging Conduit. While reports of a firefight are confirmed by the UNF, the exact details of the engagement are sparse at best, and at worst, running rampant with rumors.

A capture of the fleet in warp towards the Emerging site could not be recovered. Member identities are unknown, but it is confirmed that Coordinator Kiijata was among the ships.

The UNF have declined to comment on the operation’s nature until after the war with Galactic Mafia, leaving the UNF’s local sectors to speculate late into the afternoon.

The most widespread rumor is of the operation’s intent, apparently codenamed “Operation: Gunship Diplomacy”, with the goal of commandeering a Triglavian vessel and abducting its crew for reasons unknown.

While it is confirmed multiple atypical UNF vessels were present for the operation for “scientific research”, it is unknown whether the UNF’s goals were to actually intern the crew of a Collective vessel. What is confirmed is an image of the fleet conducting experiments with an Occator present and overseeing the conduct of its fleet members towards the Vedmak.

Energy neutralisation, armor logistics, warp scrambling, and webifying is seen being directed towards the Vedmak, speculated to be the site’s Zorya’s Vedmak.

Other rumors include the Occator being crewed with over a hundred armed personnel, ninety shipboard security marines, and potentially ten clonesoldiers, all for the supposed boarding action of the Vedmak, forcible acquisition of Triglavian datacores containing information on quantum engineering, and even demanding the Triglavians remove Coordinator Kiijata from his Perun suit.

In any event, the move by Coordinator Kiijata on this scale in UNF politics and fleet direction is unprecedented, as Kiijata is known to avoid risky confrontations at any cost, and has never directly involved himself in UNF fleet coordination, having only participated for his corporation’s namesake of prospecting the UNF’s wrecks and any rare technologies, while never engaging directly in combat.

With such accusations of him overstepping his bounds, questions remain about the motive for his disparate behavior.

Sources associated with the Excubitoris Chapter of the Sacred Throne Order report that the the Excubitoris Chapter is still operating their PIE Kameira Program, first established in YC116. While many of the Kameiras are now permanently deployed with Excubitoris Chapter Legions, there is still a significant reserve fulfilling their original mission. With the rise of tensions following the Sarum announcement, PIE has significantly increased the number of Kameiras on rotation at a time.

There are also rumors that PIE has been recruiting a wide variety of specialists in security matters. So far reports include soldiers with covert ops experience and trained intelligence analysts, as well as a wide variety of academic specialists in matters of history, economics, and international relations. As of yet it is unclear what exact role the Excubitoris Chapter plans for these recruits.

Finally, the Chapter has broken ground on the core buildings of a new base on what was until recently House Etranhi territory on Mishi IV. The site chosen is just outside of Ny’Stetoh and consists of empty desert. It is clear that it has been given to the Excubitoris Chapter of the Order of the Sacred Throne as a permanent possession.

Tensions have been running high in the system of Floseswin, as a controversial treaty amongst Capsuleer forces has seemingly spiraled away from their Original intention. In a move that saw system ownership in the Amarr-Minmatar war zone swap between the two fighting militia forces, Lord Sarum saw fit to begin implementing the new Imperial Edict of Pax e Kilizhi Do by proclaiming a new reclaiming effort in the systems that fall under his domain. The first Planet to be singled out for has been Floseswin IV.

The announcement has caused great concern within the cluster, dividing Amarr capsuleer forces between those seeking greater clarity in the legality of the proclamation and those who openly support it. This further compounds the civil war that the Amarr Militia forces are currently engaging in, a direct result of the aforementioned “Faction Warfare treaty” between signatories and non-signatories. The reaction on the Minmatar side of the conflict on the other hand has more unified in comparison. While Republic authorities have yet to release a formal statement, several officials have expressed deep hostility to the announcements.

Minmatar capusleers were quick to react to the news, setting up a defensive cordon around the planet while evacuation efforts have begun. Several mobile depots were placed in in orbit of the planet on the 19th of this month broadcasting Evacuation locations around the planet, and 42 hours after a large number of personnel have been confirmed to have converge on these coordinates. In surprising twist to this story, these armed personnel appear to be the same group that was identified to be involved in the Aviar IV raid, led by Capsuleer Cain Aloga.

Cain Aloga fled back to the republic in the aftermath of his actions, and rumors suggested that he was engaged in Null sec operations with Matari aligned groups. When reached for comment, Mr. Aloga had this to say:

“The Amarr have stooped to terrorizing innocent civilians, openly flouting Concord interstellar law. While I am prepared to fight off the terrorist forces from the planet, all efforts must be made to protect innocent civilians from the horrors and brutality of their ‘reclaiming’. Evacuation efforts are being undertaken and security personnel have been deployed to maintaining an orderly evacuation from the planet, with safe conduct to Republic space or any other requested location guaranteed. Additional private security forces are in place to ensure successful evacuation operations.”

Mr. Aloga refused to comment on the total number that have been deployed, but eyewitness accounts places each evacuation center with a few hundred, and many more have been spotted patrolling nearby areas.

This is Keni Pava, reporting for Starside news.

Archavoinet Archive: After Extensive Contract Bidding UPA Appoints New Security Franchise, Declares System of Interest
Over the past month, the Unified Principality of Archavoinet has held its tendering process for bids for a new Security Franchise, after confirming it would not be renewing its contract with Geoffon Security Consortium. The bids were some of the most intense seen for the franchise to date, having surpassed even Geoffon’s original bid into the Security Franchise 15 years ago for its first contract.

The tendering process was officially closed earlier this morning, and the UPA has declared that the franchise will be jointly awarded to Windstalker Security Corp and Purosupekuta Resourcing Auxiliary-Navy, capsuleer run firms both with ties to the United Neopian Federation, an independent faction outside of the Gallente Federation.

The details of the joint franchise and how it will operate are currently sparse, however the changeover coincides with the announcement of the neighbouring unincorporated system of Eugales being declared a System of Interest to the UPA, with documents put forward to the Pegeler District Court to have the claim legally notarized, and registered.

“Whoa. Whoa, whoa, what?”

“You’re seeing it to, then?”

“Yeah. Sama locked itself down tighter than a bad day in Jita. Nothing in or out.”

“Gates are still up. Local contingent is still reporting in.”

“Navy’s stopped talking to anyone. S-XI-CNW, or S-VIII-CCLS. Shop’s closed. They’ve just shut down everything. Adjacent systems, too. Nobody’s talking.”

“Must not be taking any chances. That’s got to be, what? All his favors burned up? He’s trying too hard to keep us out.”

“Must not just be us if he’s trying this hard. Speaking of which, have we got anything?”

“Just rumors of an agreement, further talk. Not much else, had to grapevine it, and those vines shriveled awfully quickly. I don’t see what they could mean. Bugs got squashed, too. Cracking down.”

“…where’s the mouse?”

“She’s still in XI-CNW. Accident?”

“Coincidence.”

“Right. I’ll keep my ears open, then. But if they’re not accepting visitors…”

“Knock on the sky, listen to the sound. Something will turn up.”

Rumors have begun circulating both on GalNet resources and via word of mouth in Mikramurka that Tiama Ramijozana, clan chief of Clan Ramijozana, is planning to ask Sebiestor Tribal Chief Acassa Midular, at the upcoming tribal meeting, to present a censure to the Tribal Council regarding the failure of Sanmatar Maleatu Shakor and his Matar Planetary Security to properly secure the Sundsele Six and present them for rightful justice among their peers in the Sebiestor Tribe.

A censure is non-binding and requires no action on the part of the censured parties. It is generally meant as an official rebuke.

The rumors appear to have originated from within Clan Ramijozana itself, specifically with capsuleer and cadet chief Melisma Ramijozana. However, Ms. Ramijozana appears to still be “on vacation”; her whereabouts are unknown and no official statement appears to be forthcoming.

Transtellar Shipping and Material Acquisitions Downscaling Footprint in Pegeler
Archavoinet-In a recent press release, Transtellar Shipping, and Material Acquisitions have announced a downscaling in their activity footprints in the Pegeler district, while this is not expected to majorly affect most memberstates within the district, it is notable that part of the stated actions that will be undertaken is conclusion of Shipping and Astromining Franchise contracts in two systems, Archavoinet, and Frarie.

While Transtellar Shipping has yet to release further specifics and reasons for their downscale and contract conclusions, Material Acquisitions has been more forthcoming, citing diminishing returns on resource extraction, and unfavorable conditions caused by capsuleer pirates interdicting their operations across the district. While they have confirmed that mining operations will continue, it will be in a much reduced state compared to its previous level of muster.

Speculations abound as to who may take over the Shipping and Astromining Franchises once the contracts are concluded by the respective parties, with some looking to FedMart as a strong candidate for claiming both Shipping Franchises in Archavoinet and Frarie.

Sendaya V - Concord Bureau

In the early hours of NEST, a body of a female Deteis was found outside Concord offices on Sendaya V. Her throat had been cut and there were signs of torture on the body. Identification is pending, but the victim was not a capsuleer.

Whether or not this is tied to a previous incident of a body being deposited outside another Concord Office is unknown, but being investigated by officials.

More information will be released as it becomes available.

Rhiannon comments on the Sundsele situation - exclusive!
(Heritage, Sundsele, Mikramurka, YC121.11.17)

The clan Rhiannon has continued to reel under the succession storm brought on by Chief Mira’s sudden demise in the Deathglow attacks. Young Aeron, while no doubt well-trained and well-liked among the locals, has not been received universally with confidence by the clan’s executives. Heritage has it from reliable sources that drafts for separation of Rhiannon Legal from Shaninn Investment Co. along family lines inside the clan have already been on the table, before being rejected by the young Chief and his birth-mother Jonis, representing the Legal, alike.

Chief Aeron is to face another challenge soon, for according to published list of names, he will himself represent the clan in the upcoming Chief’s Acassa Midular’s meeting of local clans. This has caused some concern, and a last-minute replacement might still happen, for the Chief is extraordinarily young for such a venerable assembly.

Heritage has had the extraordinary and delight to talk to Chief Aeron personally, in a first personal interview to a social news outlet for two generations. Connecting with us from the Rhiannon Spire on a holovid connection, Chief Aeron is a beautiful young man, living up to his heartland blood and spirit both in manner and in appearance. He assured Heritage that Rhiannon is weathering this storm just like it has weathered all storms since the start of the Great Rebellion, and before.

“The clan has had legitimate concerns about my experience,” Aeron says humbly, “but I am glad to be able to tell you that they have mostly passed. Clan structure remains on the most part intact, apart from the fact that Aunt Mira had a more direct hand in running Legal than I have aspirations to.”

Asked about the upcoming meeting with Chief Midular, Aeron had this to say: “Rhiannon wishes only for stabilization of the region after the devastation of the Deathglow, and to run our business uninterrupted. There has been a growing concern about harassment of legitimate tribal businesses based on inter-tribal political issues that should not concern a Sebiestor city. Rhiannon has no interest in such troubles.” Asked about his mother’s involvement in said issues, the Chief only added, “Elsebeth Shaninn does not speak for the clan”, and refused to comment further.

Moving on to matters of more interest to the core audience of Heritage, Chief Rhiannon blushed handsomely but also refused to comment on the rumors of marriage plans between himself and cadet chief Linia of Haran.

[Arsia_Elkin]

The following short article was recently found in a Domain-based nobility gossip tabloid.

DAM-TORSAD – Lady Leona Cordelia Elkin returned to her holdings in the Imperial city late last week following a formal audience request from her granddaughter, Arsia Victoria Elkin. The audience was granted and took place Saturday morning and about three hours after it had begun, Arsia Victoria was spotted leaving her grandmother’s court, looking upset.

An anonymous source in the household says that tensions have been very high and worsening by the week since the terrorist firebombing the estate suffered back in May, with some attributing the attack to Arsia Victoria’s public outspokenness. It’s speculated that one of the key reasons for the tension is the death of Xavier Clarence Elkin, who was the eldest son of Satasia Augusta Elkin, placing Arsia Victoria in the succession line. Our source even claims that Lady Leona Cordelia has been heard to use the phrase “immortal and unqualified” in reference to Arsia Victoria, who happens to be a capsuleer trained by the Royal Institute. This audience came after Arsia Victoria once again turned heads by resigning from the Excubitoris Chapter of the Order of the Sacred Throne after igniting a fierce debate on corruption in the 24th Imperial Crusade on the Intergalactic Summit and signing a petition to the Throne penned by the Amarr loyalist alliance Khimi Harar expressing disagreement with an announcement of Lord Arrach Sarum commissioning a full reclaiming of the planet of Floseswin IV.

Many Amarr on Galnet have begun to question Arsia Victoria and her motives, but despite the timing of her resignation and her signature on the Khimi Harar petition, many others think that her seven and a half years served in the Crusade, her strong combat record, and her history in defending the Empire at home combined with her youthful impulsiveness imply that the appearance of gross dissension is likely a misunderstanding. The fact that she has seemingly spent most of her time in the past few weeks associating with the aforementioned Amarr loyalist group Khimi Harar and staying in their Tanoo Fortizar, Tebu Amkihman, is also commonly being cited as evidence that Arsia Victoria’s departure isn’t indicative of anything especially troubling, but detractors say that continued association is meaningless, as many members of Khimi Harar have known to associate with questionable individuals in accordance with their policy of ‘Reclaiming by the Word.’ In any event, with Arsia Victoria having said very little publicly about her departure from the Excubitoris Chapter, widespread speculation as to her motives is likely to continue.

Lady Leona Cordelia Elkin, Satasia Augusta Elkin, and Arsia Victoria Elkin were all contacted and each declined to comment.
