Earlier this morning a shuttle with the Sorn interstellar logo was spotted entering the Vale, afterwards, a small fleet of Blockage runners entered Cat and docked at the Federal Intelligence Office Logistic Support station. onlookers describe armed guards and aid personal setting up a temporary foothold.

Hours later the shuttle returned and Capsuleer and COO Aiko Nekorajin were rushed to the S-II footholds medical wing. But images of Vales stations has been shared with FIO in hope of a shared operation to evacuate the last remaining people on board the Chemal Tech Research Center inside Vale

News just reach that half of the Sorn interstellar forces that had set up in Cat in preparation for the incursion into Vale have been recalled as alarming reports of Triglavian invasions in the home system of the Intaki.

Maira Sorn had this to say then asked by Federation news network
“This is dire news and it was a hard choice, but the Intaki system is one we can still safe from falling into chaos. With that said I still have my best working on preperation on tomorrows incursion into Vale, a operation that I have high hopes for.”

Then asked why a new comer and Khanid would help the Intaki, or if her old flame and fellow Capsuleer Nomistrav was the reason. The Ms. Federation refused to comment.

[Auriga_Menkalinan]

A copy of a mail from Callisto Menkalinan to Intaki-Business Logistics Union pilots encouraging them to contribute to the defence of Intaki as part of the Union’s contract with the Intaki Space Police may have been quoted by some media outlets in the Syndicate and Placid area as part of their coverage of the invasion of Intaki by the Triglavian Collective. The mail appears likely to have been leaked by multiple I-BLU pilots disgruntled by the interruption to their normal operations proposed by Mlle. Menkalinan.

One report speculates that the invasion could be linked to the deal announced recently between the Intaki Space Police, Serpentis Corporation and Gallente Customs, bemoaning the Federation’s complicity in criminal interference with Intaki’s security.

Another article applauds the deal and welcomes an enhanced presence of Syndicate aligned forces in the area, accusing both the Federal Government and the Intaki Assembly of apathy and negligence in the face of the Lai Dai incursion only a year ago and the continued absence of a security franchisee for the Intaki system.

A third focuses on the announced deployment of Sorn Interstellar forces in the area although the coverage focusses more on Ms. Federation herself than the military details and speculates suggestively on her penchant for ‘Intaki culture’.

One Week On – District Parliament urges for continued vigilance as Collective offensive wanes

Commonwealth Broadcasting Corporation – 3rd October YC122 (State-broadcaster for the Northern Colonial Commonwealth)

One week has passed since the successful repulsion of the Triglavian Collective’s attempted invasion of the Assiettes system. Despite the general sensation of relief amongst the populace, the Nadire District Parliament maintains a cautious outlook on the future despite the success of Federal and EDENCOM-aligned forces in Nadire and on the Imperial-Federal border.

This sentiment is echoed by the Nadire Security Consultants (NADSC), one of the District’s Shipping and Security franchise contractors. NADSC’s spokesperson to Parliament advised that although the Collective appears to be drawing down on its onslaught throughout New Eden, this should not mean that we are to presume they have ended.

Assiettes’ existing spaceborne security contingents have been bolstered with a sizeable deployment of Federal Navy assets seconded to EDENCOM’s overall command structure, GunStar-class artillery batteries as well as the installation of a Federal Stellar Observatory orbiting the star.

The latter has allegedly calmed tensions amongst the more vocal of the religious elements in the Commonwealth’s neighbouring state, the Grand Republic of the Radiant Sun, in which stellar bodies form a central component in their beliefs. The Collective’s harvesting of stellar bodies has been decried as ‘sacrilege’ and ‘the unholiest of acts’, with many adherents enlisting for Federal Service. District records made available show that District Armed Forces and Federal Service enlistment rates have increased across all member states since the start of the Crisis.

The Northern Colonial Commonwealth currently remains in a state of emergency under the Emergency Colonial Defence Act legislation invoked at the start of the Triglavian Crisis. The First Minister of the Colonial Commonwealth shall be seeking consent from the Colonial Parliament to extend the duration of their emergency powers as required under the Act, although as the Collective seems to be withholding from further offensive operations, they may decline to.

People with a reasonable level of security clearance with the Federal Intelligence Office may become aware of the following report.

From: Station Head - Logistic Support Facility, Ignebaener VI - Moon 1
To: ‘Internal Affairs - Essence’; ‘Security Contractors - Essence’
Date: 122-10-06
Subject: Ignebaener Evacuation - updates

Evacuation proceeds on schedule with support from vessels operated by both Intaki Space Police and Serpentis Corporation.

An unschedule departure by an Atron-class frigate in Intaki Syndicate colours and with a transponder identifying it as an ISP contractor was destroyed by Triglavian gun emplacements in the outbound navigation lane of Dock E causing a delay of 23 minutes to the departure of the next scheduled evacuation flight while a rescue and salvage operation was conducted.

The SAR team’s preliminary report indicates that, while the vessel was capsuleer piloted and appears to have had no crew aboard, it was carrying 20 passengers. These appear to have been a contingent of ISP security operatives and a number of FIO employees from the genetic surveillance support group based here.

Why and how these employees were onboard an ISP vessel not integrated into the joint evacuation plan remains under investigation. While security protocols remain in force aboard this station, their effectiveness is declining due to the exigencies of the evacuation. Advise enhanced vigilance against the possibility of further attempts by our partners of convenience to extract high value FIO employees using unauthorised flights during the current crisis.

Hello users!

This message is being sent to all our userbase to inform of the appearances of “Metaliminal” storms entering the region of Venal though Tribute.

Two constellations in Venal are currently under the effects of two different Metaliminal Storms. The constellation of 0HD-6C is starting to see the presence of both Exotic Matter and Plasma Firestorm Metaliminal storms, while another Exotic Matter storm is working it’s way up the constellation of N32Z-Z, main travel artery to 6NJ8-V.

The Prosperity Network wishes to warn it’s users of these storms in their travels as they come with numerous effects to starships in their areas of Influence. Some positive, some negative.

Ships flying in Firestorms can experience harden armor plating, increased weapon damage, and explosive radius of missiles. While on the other side, having dampened resistant to Thermal weaponry, sluggish tracking speed for turrets and drones.

Ships flying though Exotic Matter storms can benefit from (Or be at a disadvantage) of increased scan resolutions, increased warp speeds, more efficient cycling for local armor and shield repairers. Much like in Firestorms, ships in Exotic Matter storms have their Kinetic resistants dampened.

The effects become more prevalent the closer ships get to the center of the storm.

Most notably and concerning about these storms however is that Plasma firestorms appear to enable the opening of the same Abyssal conduits used by the Triglavian Collective in their invasion of Empire space. It is noted however that these conduits are weaker and far less stable than those founded in invaded systems. Users traveling through these affected systems should still be cautious of potential Triglaivan threats in the area.

On the plus side, Exotic Matter storms appear to be capable of uncovering rare ore anomalies in headspace and the storms themselves have a beneficial effect on mining equipment, those brave enough to go into the storm could take advantage of this to obtain rare and valuable ore with less work than usual.

Above all, the Prosperity Network values it’s userbase’s safety and hope you stay safe in your travels and ventures.

Warclones Secure Planetary & Orbital Infrastructure As Svarog Clade Closes In

While the last remaining forces of the United Tribal Security Forces leave the planet along with the remaining refugees, the independent warclones of the Bosena Accords have moved to secure the orbital customs infrastructure that manages high-volume capsuleer trade on Skarkon II. Tied to the Sahaal Skyhook system, the Orbital Customs Office now named the “Sesli Ashok Planetary Egress Center” [sic] has been the focal point for a majority of orbital conflict since the beginning of the Skarkon War. Now the station lies squarely in warclone hands, with access restricted for any UTSF and AEGIS troops attempting to access or leave the planet via the commercial skyhook.

The acquisition came shortly before the deployment of the Avalon Warclone Planetary Dockyard, a major hub deployed in low orbit by the Bosena Accords to act as a staging area, production facility, and command center for the independent warclone clans holding fast on the planet below. Notably, the “Round Table Assembly” trade union congress has been moved to this location to act as the forwardmost center for the Bosena Accord’s long standing dream of establishing “Avalon”, a fabled homeworld for clone soldiers.

It’s still unclear how the Bosena Accords were able to secure the planetary customs facilities across the Skarkon System, though financing comes shortly after a massive refinancing effort for the Bosena Accords war debt under the Intaki Bank. With the wereabouts of Kril Efrit still unkn–

Caldari news network 10.13 YC 122

A few hours ago two Pilgrim-class recon cruisers and a Buzzard-class frigate, as detained by The Caldari navy fleet orbiting the stargate into Otanuomi, Pilot Aiko Nekorajin, bearing the Sorn Interstellar banner was detained for questioning and the 100 refugees onboard both The Light of Desna and The Morningray were taken to medical care and quarantine. Federation navy reports the Buzzard-class Frigate baring the name Stjarna Nova got though the gate even after warning broadcasts repeatedly sent to the frigate.

Capsuleer Aiko Nekorajin refuses to comment on the Frigate’s mission, but state that it is purely for research purposes

[El_Aldard]

There is persistant rumors swirling around the market traders on the Tebu Amkhiman citadel in Tanoo that the second-rate used ship traders Aldard & Sons are negotiating for the consignment of a significant number of lightly used surplus hurricane battlecruisers. This could be a breakthrough for the small-time operation.

New Caldari Prime - YC122.10.14

Rival Operators Endanger State Citizens (% BPP ArK.)

Recently released Internal Security drone footage published jointly by NOHNN and Echelon Entertainment suggests that protests occuring at multiple corporate spires on New Caldari Prime have been the scene of insurrectionist agitation by former corporate police.

The holocapture shows that, on at least five occasions during demonstrations staged at facilities owned by members of PKN Interstellar, protest materials and propaganda were distributed by two individuals whose facial recognition data matches biometric IDs issued by Peace and Order Unit. Jun Saamon and Hyykiala Kada Kirai, both retired officers in terrestrial enforcement departments located in Kaala, were identified by the imaging analysis as distributing paper media, gas mitigation agents, and clothing to protesters in the hours preceding escalations in their confrontations with corporate police. An Internal Security spokesperson stated that, “the footage shows a deliberate pattern of movement and activity that stoked unrest and contributed to the risk of harm to protesters, using vulnerable citizens as a smokescreen to avert surveillance.” When asked if the gas mitigation agents contributed to the number of deaths due to the use of “parahaze” during the demonstrations, he responded, “while it is unclear at this time, we contend that it is a real possibility, one we continue to investigate.”

Many of those who were subsequently arrested or injured were shown on various media sources sporting the same black shirt with “tipping teacup” design, revealed by the drone footage to have been distributed by the two men in question. In addition, pamphlets and graffiti discovered in the aftermath of the unrest frequently depict the image of a burning tree. While there is no clear statement from the sponsors of these acts, security and operations experts we asked argue the clear intent is to provoke divisions between the workgroups of PKN.

Peace and Order Unit representatives have refused comment at this time. Both Saamon and Kirai remain at large as hotspots of turmoil continue on New Caldari Prime and throughout the State.

The Solitude Sentinel, YC 122/10/16

Gala honoring EDENCOM Victories in Solitude Held at FNA Station
Elore VI, Moon 4, Federal Navy Academy

While the Federation had to reckon with the loss of five systems under its command just three days ago, including the noteworthy population center of Vale, feelings among the population of Solitude have been ones of relief more than anything. As active invasions carried out by the Triglavian Collective seem to have halted after the invasion of Elore had been repulsed by combined EDENCOM and capsuleer firepower, efforts by local Federal Navy and Federal Navy Academy officials to reward those who fought in defense of the region manifested itself in a gala held at the FNA’s station in Elore. Attended by many local pilots of Braille that flew in defense of the system, as well as in Triglavian attacks on the systems of Harner, Pochelympe and Pertnineere, the celebration opened with remarks made by Contaire Ossins, the FNA agent and overseer of defensive efforts made to protect the station from Triglavian assault.

“I don’t think it can be said enough how much the entirety of people in the region thank you all for willingly risking your lives against a foe, the horrors of which are nearly impossible to comprehend,” Ossins stated. “While it can be easy to celebrate our resilience, to celebrate that fact that we, as a region, ceded not one system to the Collective, we would be amiss to not mention the long list of our brothers and sisters who did not manage to make it to this point. Because of them, and because of you, all the systems that the invaders tried to steal from us remain rightfully in Federation hands.”

Other speeches at the gala were given by more recent additions to the region, such as Placid-born Intaki capsuleer Clordilen Elerelle, who was one among a handful of capsuleers that participated in the defense of multiple invaded Solitude systems, including Elore. Relocating to the Mobrault district to combat Serpentis drug havens throughout the lower-security systems of Solitude, the Intaki capsuleer used his time to remind those involved in safeguarding the region to remain ever vigilant.

“Folks in the EDENCOM Defense Initiative have taken note of the Trig’s consolidation of the twenty-seven systems they captured, as it seems for now, they have stopped actively invading civilized space. However, we have little idea as to what the Collective’s eventual plans are, apart from their hatred of us, and of others, such as the rogue drones that some of you may have fought at some point. I know what the price of failure is when it comes to them, and trust me when I say that you cannot afford to let your guard down against an enemy like this.” Elerelle also mentioned efforts being made in conjunction with Solitude branches of the Bank of Luminaire to fund programs aiding some of those displaced from Federation systems, especially in the more recent capturing of systems like Ignebaener in the Essence region, and Ala in Sinq Laison.

Other capsuleers that aided greatly in the defense of the region were mentioned, such as Edward Adams, a security contractor based in the Nadire district of Sinq Laison, and another that goes by the name of “Darke Zero”.

As the festivities reached their end, a Gila piloted by Elerelle exited the station and fired four shots from an equipped festival launcher, signifying the four invaded systems that the local EDENCOM forces safeguarded from Triglavian control.

“Where’s the boss?”

“Not sure. Tinkering with something or other. You know. Trying to impress the missus.”

“Not this time. Went to engineering and there’s nobody there. Even the project backlog is clean. That list wouldn’t be clean for another year with how many novel ideas he comes up with.”

“So maybe he’s discarded them. We’re going to a new station, we can’t keep everything with us during the move, and those prototypes take up space and containment.”

“Really? Like when he said he’d discard that garrote wire launcher?”

“That list is older than he’s been boss, so maybe he’s wisened up, doesn’t see any value in them.”

“Then where’s our contracts? I haven’t seen any recovery orders come in since just before the invasion. Now it’s just joint ops with local system and planetary governments.”

“If we could chase every wreck case I bet he’d have us stretched thinner than we are. But last I knew the Trigs don’t leave many left, so he’s putting us to more probable good than chasing the dead.”

“I don’t know. I know the choices have to be made, but I thought we were big enough to not need to prioritise.”

“Not when they’re everywhere. We’re still dipping our toes into bigger waters. We’re not “big enough” to do it all.”

“I know that. But you’d think the Four’d do some of the heavy lifting for us.”

“Come in.”

“Nobody’s seen him since before the move. He’s always been a shut-in but he’s a sociable one to make calls for everyone to get him things on his project stints.”

“I’ve known him longer than you, and if you think this is just a stint then you’ve no idea how long he can isolate to get everything tuned to within a fraction of a nanometer’s width for a margin of error.”

“I get that. I haven’t seen him that bad, but he’s always kept in touch. Now all we’ve got is Block, and she’s shut in just as bad. I’d be impressed she could hide that well if she wasn’t the size of four city blocks.”

“This is how he’s always been. Goes to show the dedication he’s putting forth.”

“To what? Please, sir. Level with me. This isn’t a project. He gets excited and shows off whenever he thinks of something to show Miss Boss. That suit didn’t kill him, did it?”

“No, he’s been out for three months. Of course, as you say, nobody’s seen him to know that.”

“Then vacation, sir? I know he wanted out to go see a sun on a beach somewhere, probably getting his brains-”

“If only. Then he’d do something like send everyone a custom exotic fruit basket with instructions on how to prepare a five course meal for the staff to enjoy at a potluck he had planned as celebration for the move. And would have prepared a quarter of it himself.”

“…he was going to do that?”

“He’s going to do that. But right now he needs us more than ever, and you asking where he is doesn’t help him or us. He’s still here, but he’s got the most important task weighing down on his shoulders, and nothing is going to stop him from seeing it through.”

“What could he be doing that even he sees as that important…”

“Parker. You’ve got family in your home system, yes?”

“Still do, sir. Mother’s been fretting I’m going out to bring others home rather than staying within smelling distance of her hound.”

“Then what would you say is that important?”

“Well, those people we’re carrying, they’ve got family. I’ve seen how tightly they hold together. If we didn’t have enough room I’d say they’d be giving each other up so their loved ones could go over themselves. His family’s almost as paranoid as that Sobo woman, right?”

“Sobo taught them, they could give an invasion a run for their money.”

“…”

“Go on.”

“If it’s that important, I think I understand why he hasn’t shown his face.”

“But Ms. Brezia has?”

“I think I get it. I won’t prod anymore. If he’s got something like that, then I’ll wait to see what he does to make up for the quiet.”

“Knowing him, he won’t stiff us anywhere. Just wait. You’ll be partying for a year straight when he comes back.”

Mortals have been slain and despite our best efforts have been shown a true death by these forces, these enemies! We may have needed to look after our own interests, but we have done so at a dire, dire cost. While we were invited here to do a job, and we did it to our best, our guest-right obliges us to the people here as well.

So to me! Svarog wants us to prove our worth and the worth of our ideas. I say we prove it to them beyond any doubt.

I am opening my personal stores for any Elysian who joins me in facing this threat. Officer weapons to fit out legions, HAVs, LAVs, Dropships, powered suits. All are available to those who join me!

Repel them from the Selsi Ashok Customs Office. Repel them from the surface. Destroy any reinforcements that they send! Destroy the enemy until these mortals we protect are once again free from the threat of death at the hands of Svarog!

Luminaire News Network 25.10 YC122
News this morning about Ms Federation YC122 having been the victim of an attack on her person, onlookers stated she went unconscious after a party at the famous capsuleer venue L’Amore in Ballo. After further investigation, LNN got though to the Ms Federation that confirmed the rumours and said that she doesn’t remember much from that night due to having had to undergo emergency clone transfer.

Fans of this year’s Ms Federation have all been vocal about the situation, some even having taken to local forums and calling for a hunt for whoever did this.

This has been Shada Lania, turn in later where we answer the question: Is my neighbour a Triglavian?
