ESECAMA VIII - MOON 3 - IMPERIAL ARMAMENTS WAREHOUSE, DEVOID

Amarr authorities on the Imperial Armaments Warehouse in Esecama have moved quickly to suppress the clandestine distribution of explanatory leaflets by agents of the Amarrian Orthodox Church, Sedevacantist. On the front of the leaflets is an empty throne, the church’s symbol, framed by the words “Sede Vacante” and “The Throne is Vacant!” Inside the leaflets is a picture of an Amarrian male dressed in traditional robes, a Minmatar female in tribal dress, and a half-Amarr, half-Minmatar child between them, also in tribal dress; this image is captioned with the words, “The Future?” The text of the leaflets goes on to describe in lurid, sensationalist detail the relationships of so-called Amarr Loyalist capsuleers Lunarisse Aspenstar and her daughter Maria, Utari Onzo, Garion Avarr, Arline Kley, and members of House deSilvestris, all of whom are romantically involved with non-Amarrians, some of them Minmatar.

According to religious scholar Julien Antoine of the University of Caille, the purpose of the leaflets is to stir up resentment for the Amarr elite among traditional-minded station workers, making them more open to the message of the Sedevacantist Church, which believes that Amarr ruling institutions lost all valid authority with the promulgation of the pacifistic Pax Amarria. While some if not most Amarr commoners begrudge the wealth of their culture’s elite, many of them do expect that elite to show evidence of their higher breeding and ancient lineage – uncorrupted by original sin – in their public lives, said Mr. Antonine, and few traditionalist Amarrian commoners would accept miscegenation. The sedevacantists, he continued, seek to connect instances of public degeneracy among the elite with church’s thesis that Amarr authorities have become illegitimate.

Church spokeswoman Calyce Io confirmed the authenticity of the leaflets but declined further comment, saying the content of the leaflets speaks for itself.

LOCALISED ICE STORM ON NAKRI VII CAUSES DAMAGE TO PRODUCTION FACILITIES

A highly localised, but significant storm in the Severny region of Nakri VII caused damage to a number of facilities yesterday. Planetary officials had predicted the storm’s arrival, a not unusual phenomenon in that area, and had accordingly issued warnings for the small number of production facilities located there. The intensity of the storm was greater than expected, however, as was the resulting damage. Although there are no reported casualties, production at all facilities in the region was affected. A spokesperson from the deSilvestris Family, who own the largest facility in the area, issued a statement, confirming that power generators at the facility had been damaged, but that they have been swiftly repaired and that any disruption to the production line at the facility, which supplies test cultures for research, had been minimal.
Authorities on the planet are analysing the data from the storm, in order to better understand the weather systems in this region of Nakri VII, that better predictions on ice storm severity may reduce the risk of similar incidents in the future.

Anama Wracked By Pirate War as Braille and Elose Aenebra Bases Raided
Pertnineere, Elose District

Federal forces have identified multiple criminal deadspace pockets that have been housing members of the Aenebra, an Intaki death cult that is responsible for the murders of two high-ranking drug enforcement officials in the region, along with undetermined levels of drug trafficking primarily focused in the low-security systems bordering the cluster of high-security eastern Solitude. Large quantities of the booster Exile, and the material used to make it, celadon cytoserocin, were discovered in a deadspace facility in Pertnineere, which seemed to facilitate the manufacture and distribution of the booster throughout the Elose district. A similar such operation occurred in the Yveve system in Braille, although unlike the Pertnineere facility, a large transmitter sending coded messages to locations believed by Federal authorities to be somewhere in the Syndicate region was also present in the latter’s case.


The Aenebra drug distribution facility in Yveve. Much like in Heluene, the ships defending the operation had Serpentis liveries and the facility itself contained Aenebra paraphernalia, such as engraved daggers and other small arms.

While the Serpentis have always been a blight upon the region, especially in the lower-security districts, the presence of the death cult in the region marks an escalation by forces affiliated with the pirate corporation in the region, particularly when it comes to violence. However, the Federal Intelligence Office has indicated that despite the Intaki cultists’ beliefs around ritual murder, there should be no cause for alarm amongst the general populace.

“The Aenebra are not a foreign adversary to the Federation,” remarked FIO official Witte Sorgard in a statement from the office’s garrison in Pertnineere. “Federal forces have routed them from Placid nearly a decade ago, and we are absolutely confident that they will be similarly routed from Solitude in short order.”

While eastern Solitude has been safeguarded in the wake of Federal raids on the two drug production and personnel housing facilities, western Solitude remains much more uncertain in that regard. Rumours have abounded amongst miners in the Elerelle district that a recent vanishing of a party of miners in the ore-rich Babirmoult system has to do with the Aenebra, as various spacefaring Federal citizens have reported an increase in the amount of Serpentis vessels in the area, particularly in the systems near the border gates to Aridia and the Syndicate. In the case of the former, the Aenebra’s violence seems to have not been constrained to Solitude, either.

Per sources from Imperial Navy stations in Aridia, the Sentinel has learned that numerous Serpentis installations have been detected lately by Imperial forces in the Anama constellation in Aridia. While previously a rarity in the area, they have reportedly increased rapidly in the past month, although all instances have been confined to Anama. Imperial surveillance has also noted in one instance, what appeared to be attacks from ships affiliated with the Blood Raider cult on the Serpentis installations. While the two pirate factions have never been on good standings with each other, hostility in the area surrounding Aridia and Solitude had never materialized itself in the form of violent retribution until recently.

“I sure hope that the FIO knows what they’re doing,” a miner from Babirmoult who wished to remain anonymous remarked to the Sentinel. “First we got those damn Intaki murdering folks for their sick rituals, and now they’re poking at the Blooders! Last thing we need are fights around here between crazies obsessed with murder, and crazies obsessed with draining people’s blood in our space.”

While the FIO has maintained that Solitude will remain safe from incursions from the pirate organizations, capsuleer organizations like the Mobrault Security Consultants have also pledged their support in fighting the Aenebra, as news regarding the cult seems to be shifting to the west of the region.

Shasta, the program is going very well. We’ve been able to compensate about twenty households out of the forty five that the Legion has successfully evacuated. I set up three companies to buy the land: Ardeind Real Estate LLC, Praesidium Real Estate Inc., and Amarrinn Land and Estates. We’re getting ready to sell the land off already. My staff is starting to draft a number of advertisements that we can publish in the Amarrinn Post. Hopefully, a number of people will see the ads and want to buy the land. Can I cut the prices a bit? Like, charge less for the land? We’ll be in the red as a result, but more people will be able to afford the land.

Your honorable financial manager,

I don’t want Kyvon to be able to get his hands on a massive amount of land and force people to pay rent. Just one thing: make sure that you don’t spend any money you don’t have. The money I’ve allocated for your corporations is money that we can spare, but I don’t want you to get into a massive debt. We can’t afford for that to happen. If you need more money, clear it with me first. Understood?

Hostage Situation in Amarrinn City Suburbs!!!

“Just into the newsroom, there’s a hostage situation in the suburbs of Amarrinn city. Tanya Novaya is on scene.” The holo changes from a shot of the anchor to show a young blonde woman standing in the street. ACPD officers can be seen in the background.

“Yes, Jacob. I’m on West Hill St. About two blocks down that way, ACPD officers are in a standoff with a number of armed suspects in a van and two SUVs. The officers were responding to a report of a break in and possible kidnapping. They came upon the suspects throwing at least one bound and gagged person into the van and ordered the suspects to put their hands up. The suspects began firing on the responding officers, hitting one of them. SPNN was able to acquire redacted dash cam footage of these first moments.” The recordings began to play. After they finished playing, the holo changed back to show Tanya.

“ACPD is not releasing any statements yet, but it is believed that the suspects that have been cornered here are some of the men that have been roaming through Amarrinn over the last couple of weeks and kidnapping Ardeind supporters. There are about a dozen suspects, and ACPD says that there are four to six hostages. Wait!” The holo goes wild before settling on a SUV that pulls up behind an ACPD marked cruiser. Two people get out. They are both wearing windbreakers.

“Yep. This is definitely related to the Ardeind kidnappings. Those are Legion investigators. They are in conversation with the senior officers on scene and hostage negotiators.” Suddenly, some officers begin shouting. The Legion investigators and senior ACPD officers duck down behind a nearby sedan. The hostage negotiator and one of the officers begin shouting into their radios as the Legion officers draw their pistols and run towards the commotion.

“Well, I don’t know what happened there, Jacob, but ACPD is telling us to move back twenty yards again.” The holo shows two ACPD officers telling the news crew to start moving back. In the background, an armored vehicle pulls up and ACPD SWAT officers jump out.

“Well, Jacob, it looks like ACPD is still bringing in more units. This is really big. I’ll keep monitoring this, and get back to you with more. Tanya Novaya, reporting from Amarrinn.” The holo changes back to Jacob

Federation Forces, Mobrault-Based Capsuleer Commit to Elerelle Defense Amid Aenebra and Blood Raider Skirmishes
Arittant, Elerelle District

Federation Navy patrols in Solitude have recently stepped up patrols in the Elerelle district, in response to what appears to be a pirate war between two hostile parties. The Aenebra, an Intaki death cult that has been believe responsible for the deaths of two drug officials in the Octanneve system, as well as the disappearance of a mining fleet in Babirmoult, are known to be backed by the Serpentis Corporation, who Federal officials believe are using the Aenebra to assault an opposing pirate entity in the Blood Raiders. While many gate-to-gate travelers may not have noticed any activity in the corridor between the Genesis region and Solitude, the conflict has since spilled in to the many deadspace pockets and asteroid belts that dot the area, as the Blood Raiders, who usually limit their operations to Aridia and the rest of western Amarr space, have since been monitored in the western fringes of Solitude.


Pictured: A Blood Raider re-supply depot located in the Shirshocin system in Aridia. Facilities like these have recently come under fire by the Serpentis-backed Aenebra, sparking the conflict that has recently spilled in to Solitude.

“We’re used to dealing with the Serpentis,” an Astral Mining employee who wished to remain anonymous remarked to the Sentinel, “but those Blooders are something else. The Feds better get on this thing quick, because at this point, it’s becoming too unsafe for us to go out there and do our jobs. Hell, the last belt we tried to clean out, right here in Agaullores, the both of them warped in at the same time! We were at least able to get out of there okay, seeing as they were more interested in killing each other.”

Federal Navy officials based in Solitude have remarked that they believe they have successfully ousted the Aenebra from most districts in the region, as while the Serpentis still plague many systems throughout the region, the other five districts have not seen any raids resulting in the discovery of Aenebra paraphernalia. Conomette and Pertnineere, the two systems that border Syndicate by way of the Y9G-KS system, have been meticulously patrolled by Federal Customs officials, seeking to limit any kind of illict baseliner presence in the region.

Capsuleer and Solitude resident Clordilen Ellevrette, whose corporation, the Mobrault Security Consultants, had seen successes in limiting the presence of Serpentis drug peddlers in that particular district, has recently moved operations to the Arittant system, with the intention of monitoring and combatting the rising pirate problem in Elerelle. In a statement given to the Sentinel, he stated that he intends to corral the fighting pirate forces in their entirety towards the west of Elerelle, and hopefully back in to the Syndicate, also pledging to continue the fight in Aridia should skirmishes continue there.

The Sentinel could not reach any sources in the Imperial Navy for statements on the conflict in Aridia, although it is rumoured that the Amarr have recently acted swiftly against the Aenebra/Serpentis in the region. The Western Report, a Genesis-based news agency had recently reported on a fleet of Serpentis vessels meeting “swift annihilation” by Imperial Navy forces in the system of Van, noting that a group of what appeared to be scouts engaged Blood Raiders in an asteroid belt in the system, turning their guns on local miners after the Blooders were destroyed.

MERCENARY CLASH ON RAA X

A clash between mercenary units on opposite sides of the Amarr-Minmatar proxy war took place yesterday in a remote area of Raa X. Although few details are available, it is understood that a Private Military Contractor based in the Amarr Empire was ambushed by another Contractor in the employ of the Tribal Liberation Force, possibly on the strength of Intelligence known to the TLF-associated forces. Reports also indicate that the Amarrian mercenary group suffered what may be a complete loss of personnel and materiel, whilst the attacker’s casualties were minimal.
The aftermath of bodies and destroyed equipment was discovered by locals some time after the encounter, though witnesses have spoken of hearing exchanges of gunfire and the sound of at least one airborne vehicle. Upon investigating, however, it was discovered that the ambushers had already departed, and their true identity, as well as the reason behind the presence of Amarrian-backed PMC personnel on a planet currently held by the TLF, remains unknown.

DAM-TORSAD, AMARR PRIME, DOMAIN

Three Freed Slaves sent out by the Amarrian Orthodox Church, Sedevacantist were taken into police custody following public disturbances outside separate cathedrals in the Amarr capital city of Dam Torsad today. Each slave erected a portable chair, one fashioned to look something like the Amarr Imperial Throne, and then in an anguished voice began repeatedly screaming “the throne is vacant” in the direction of the empty “throne”. Police summoned to the scenes removed the slaves from public visibility and each precinct in which the cathedrals are located initially reported “suspected transcranial microcontroller (TCMC) malfunctions”. However, no further updates have been issued even after repeated press inquiries.

According to scholars of the Amarr Empire at the University of Caille, the Dam Torsad police probably connected both the slogan and empty chair prop used by the slaves to the Amarrian Orthodox Church, Sedevacantist, an extremist outfit led by notorious capsuleer Nauplius which believes that the Amarr Throne became vacant with the promulgation of the pacifistic Pax Amarria. Not wishing to give the Sedevacantist Church any publicity, the police then ceased further press communication regarding the case. Even so, some rumors and gossip regarding the incidents is likely to circulate in Dam Torsad circles, raising awareness there of sedevacantism, which was likely the goal of the Sedevacantist Church in sending out the slaves to cause a scene in the first place.

According to TCMC experts, with the right conditioning and TCMC programming, a slave could be made to go to a designated place and repeat a short slogan, having set up a simple chair prop. Capsuleer Nauplius is known to have a substantial number of illegally held freed slaves, whose free status likely facilitates their movement around the Empire once released, meaning his Sedevacantist Church likely has the means to repeat pro-sedevacantist sloganeering in Amarr public places in the future.

The Amarrian Orthodox Church, Sedevacantist refused comment on the events.

We Jin Mei feel great attachment to our writing system. As a result, we look for any excuse to write something down. Even the simplest word can be expressed in a beautiful shape. These shapes frequently become tattoos in larger Gallente society - sometimes with comical results.

However, there is nothing we love to write down more than laws. We have a great many. For every law, there exists three squads of dueling essayists. East Essayists argue the law is virtuous and must be respected as written. West Essayists argue the law is not virtuous and must be amended to bring it into celestial alignment. Floating World Essayists argue the law is an illusion, and seek to expose what it reveals about our society.

This is to say law interests us.

My majordomo, whose surname is Kim (no relation), and I have argued over whether or not individuals screaming “the throne is vacant” would be subjected to criminal sanctions under Amarrian law. Secretary Kim (no relation) surmises Amarrian theologists would maintain automata which profane God must be disassembled to prevent them from repeating their profanity. The fact that their statements are not made with criminal intent does not matter.

However, my optimistic opinion is that the Amarrian judiciary will recognize an individual who lacks control over their actions cannot justly be held criminally liable. Secretary Kim insists I only have such optimism because I grew up in a garden with my own water pavilion.

What is the resolution?

EYES ON EUGALES AS MAJOR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS CONTINUE
Eugales, has, for some years been a largely unremarkable system. Despite the presence of FedMart and Material Acquisition contracts in system, and long standing titanium and chromium stripmining operations on assorted moons, it has remained unincorporated, so to say that, much of its administration has been controlled at the district level, and by corporate interests, with little in the way of memberstate involvement.
There are some interesting footnotes in the system’s history(which can be read on a separate site)despite its general unremarkableness but that is not the concern of today’s article, and more to the point we are focusing on Eugales’s recent surge in popularity with the arrival of foreign national sponsors and capsuleers aligned to the United Neopian Federation, who have beenn continuing to develop infrastructure in the system, both with upwell structures, and more mundane construction techniques. Much of this so far has been under the aegis of a system of interest claim by the Unified Principality of Archavoinet, with whom the UNF holds key franchise contracts with, to enforce the claim, but rumors have circulated for a while now that much of this is self-serving.
Like any of you read this for the politics though! What IS happening in Eugales now? Well, that’s a very good question. A lot of time and effort has gone into the system, lot of big numbers in materials, people, and interstellar kredits, and the system’s population is burgeoning, as is the job market, all centered on planet VI, a storm world. Strange right? Well, for the blind, there’s been some major build up on planet VI for a while even before the UNF had franchise rights to enforce that SoI claim, including construction of major colony centers, and even steady orbital construction. Main attraction of course being that Arcology run by that capsuleer x-rated holo star, you know the one. Bit of an odd duck place but very welcoming and homey, place is huge but certainly doesn’t feel like it half the time you’re running about. Some of you might remember there was a recent Kendu tournament there.
Anyway, the real interesting bit has been what has steadily been coming together in orbit. There’s that orbital tether, and orbital dock yard s connected to the astrahus citadel in orbit, but there’s more than that going on if you watch the space lanes and assorted public routers. Constant shipments of materials, calls for import of more goods… pretty hardcore stripping of ores and production lines constantly churning… that ‘orbital yard’ continues getting bigger by the week, and anyone that passes through(and if you’re headed to the surface of planet VI you certainly will be passing through) will be able to see it. Big things are a foot. Keep your eyes on Eugales, and maybe give the place a visit to see for yourself! While you’re there, ask about the fine liquor they keep about, stuff’s got plenty of kick but is smooth as they come.
Fly safe and happy travels!

STATION AUTHORITIES APPEAL FOR WITNESSES AFTER GRAFFITI CAMPAIGN

Security Authorities on the Amarr Navy Logistic Support Station orbiting Nakri VI have put out a general appeal to the public after unknown parties carried out a number of occurrences of graffiti vandalism across the Station. Security Chief Evgeniy Sokolov stated that “although the small number of individuals that were involved in the incidents are not a concern to Station security, the fact these individuals appear to have been able to carry out their acts in public areas and deface several pieces of Station and private property suggests that they may have access to restricted equipment”. Chief Sokolov was also quite clear that such acts are “an offence according to Station regulations”, and that the perpetrators should “answer for their misdemeanours, if only to be charged for the expense of cleaning up”, which would be a relatively lenient punishment that could be considered “if they voluntarily gave themselves up”.
It is understood that no anti-Imperial or offensive slogans were used, but rather that all examples of the graffiti involved only the single word Nadezhda. The reason or meaning behind the use of this particular word remains a mystery at this time.

Aenebra, Blood Raiders Forces Driven to Aridia After Latest Massacre by the Intaki Death Cult on Agaullores Deadspace Complex
Agaullores, Elerelle District

After weeks of fighting had forced the Intaki death cult known as the Aenebra further west towards the edge of Solitude, the hopes among Federal forces that the Aenebra could be funneled back in to the Syndicate via Faurulle were dashed when the enemy forces regrouped in the Agaullores system, on the border with Imperial space in Aridia. While attacks that the cult had made against the Blood Raiders that infest the space around Aridia and Genesis had caused their forces to appear in Solitude for a brief moment, Federal forces have confirmed that their attention seemed to be focused on the opposing cult, and that there were no reported Federation citizens that had come under attack by the Blood Raiders.


Pictured: The Agaullores III Miner’s Complex. The Aenebra Cult is believed to have murdered an estimated 300 Federal citizens, the majority of which were discovered in the “Pit” module. A Mammoth-class industrial is pictured aiding in the transport of survivors to the Material Acquisition station in the system. It is currently unknown as to when those residing at the complex will be allowed to return.

Unfortunately, the same could not be said of the Aenebra, as following multiple raids on what seemed to be under-staffed Aenebra bases in the system, in what seemed to be a final strike before ultimately being driven for the most part from the region, the cultists raided another deadspace complex intended for the various miners in the region. Bystanders who were situated on the other modules in the complex witnessed Serpentis-liveried ships warp in to the complex and make short work of the frigates and destroyers patrolling the complex.

“I saw it all from the next mod over,” one miner reported to the Sentinel. “An Exequor touched down on the cargo rig, and dozens and dozens of people poured out of this ship and rushed towards the Pit. Since it’s big and open and all, unlike the others in the complex, it couldn’t have been hard for them to find the people in there.”

Eventually, a capsuleer-piloted Gila belonging to the Mobrault Security Consultants arrived at the complex to engage the cultists. While many of the smaller ships escaped, wrecks including those that were apparently from a squadron of Brutixes, as well as the aforementioned Exequor were present at the site. MBSC confirmed in a statement that they had responded to the Aenebra forces at the complex, but no further comments were given by the organization.

“It is our estimation that the majority of Aenebra forces have been ousted from Solitude,” commented Federal Intelligence liasion Boinget Fettere in a separate statement offered from the FIO. “Citizens of Solitude, especially in the Elerelle district have no need to fear any large scale coordinated attacks from the Aenebra, although standard levels of caution with regards to operating within low-security space are still encouraged.”

While it could not be officially confirmed where the Aenebra are currently operating, statements from travelers along the Anama Pipeline towards Solitude have continued to witness battles between Blood Raider and Serpentis vessels waged on stargates throughout the area.

“I’d never seen anything like it,” a trader bound for Yvaeroure remarked to the Sentinel.

“I’ve heard stories of pirates attacking vessels like mine. Everyone has. But to witness them fighting each other like that is something new to me… and slightly reassuring that they’re not targeting me, I suppose.”

TRAGIC STATION ACCIDENT RESULTS IN SIX DEATHS

The Amarr Navy Logistic Support Station orbiting Nakri VI was the scene of a tragic accident in the early hours of this morning (station time) when a service elevator suddenly malfunctioned, plunging 27 levels. Station authorities were on the scene in moments, but there were no survivors, and an investigation into the reason for the failure of both the elevator and its numerous safety features was underway immediately. Station officials released a statement, assuring inhabitants and visitors to the station that such an incident has “never before been recorded in the history of this Station”, and that whilst the elevator involved was a minor, older, and little-used one in a relatively quiet area “all elevators are undergoing immediate diagnostic safety checks”.

Although no details of the victims have yet been released by Station Security, pending positive identification and allowing time for the families to be informed, it is understood that the elevator, situated near the Naval Hospital, was used primarily by staff living nearby, and that at least one of the dead may be a doctor who worked there. Further information is expected from the authorities within the next few days.

INVESTIGATION INTO ELEVATOR ACCIDENT DEEPENS, FIRST VICTIM’S NAME RELEASED.

Station Security on the Amarr Navy Logistic Support Station orbiting Nakri VI released the name of the first victim of the tragic accident that claimed six lives just four days ago. Doctor Adalric Todt was a highly regarded trauma surgeon at the Naval Hospital on the station responsible for saving the lives of countless wounded service personnel. The Hospital issued a statement describing the shock felt by staff and patients, saying that “Doctor Todt was not only an astoundingly skilled surgeon, but also a kind, gentle man, whose comforting and reassuring bedside manner gave much ease and confidence to recovering patients. He will be very sorely missed.”

Security Chief Evgeniy Sokolov announced that investigations into the cause of the accident are ongoing, but that new evidence had been discovered near the scene; another occurrence of the word “Nadezhda”. Recently seen in a number of acts of vandalism around the Station, no responsible party has yet been identified. Chief Sokolov did not draw any definite connection between the two matters, saying that the elevator tragedy is “still being treated as an accident”, but that the possibility “though extreme, cannot be completely ruled out at this stage”, and appealed for anyone “who may have seen anything suspicious” to come forward.
