YC125.08.23 // ATHOUNON VI


Taayusaka Eskeitan “Asset Repossession & Salvaging” operations continue to unfold across Athounon VI as reports indicate that the bulk of the corporate taskforce has landed through occupied spaceports. Major urban centers remain under tight Federal control, though damage has been noted in sectors with lesser coverage from ballistic interception networks and shielding, the result of sporadic bombing and shelling by corporate raiders.

Federal control is a lot less secure in various small peripheral towns and villages not protected by dedicated garrisons, where only limited planetary militia forces are present. Conflict monitors report that a number of those settlements have become overrun by Taayusaka Corpsec forces, who seem to be sweeping for ‘Unauthorized Triglavian Artifacts’ alongside the recovery of leftover equipment. Despite these stated objectives, residents of occupied areas report “widespread and indiscriminate looting” by the invaders.

In a subsequent press release, Taayusaka Eskeitan spokesperson Inachi Kaparainen had the following to say:

"We would like to address the ongoing situation on Athounon VI and provide clarity regarding the recent operations conducted by Taayusaka. Our priority is to ensure that accurate information reaches the public, and we want to address any concerns or misconceptions that may have arisen.

At Taayusaka Eskeitan, we are committed to upholding the highest standards of ethical conduct and legality in all our operations. The current asset repossession operations being carried out in Athounon are fully compliant with the relevant laws and regulations that govern the region. Our corporation has engaged in extensive legal consultation to ensure that every step taken is in accordance with the established norms.

We deeply regret any loss of life or damage to property that may have occurred during these operations. It is essential to note that our primary objective is to secure the valuable assets that rightfully belong to our corporation. We have taken every precaution to minimize any potential risks to both our security forces and the local population.

Regrettably, interference from external entities, such as the Gallente Federation, has created an environment of uncertainty and instability. The Federation’s actions have not only hindered our lawful operations but also escalated tensions in the region. We firmly believe that if they had respected the established legal framework, the situation could have been resolved without any unfortunate incidents.

We remain committed to open communication and transparency. We will continue to work diligently with local authorities and stakeholders to ensure that the situation is resolved peacefully and in a manner that respects the rights and interests of all parties involved."
