Attention Users…

The Venal Prosperity Network is both displeased and humiliated to announce that the Rabbit’s Warren Freeport in 6nj8-v has been deanchored as per orders of owning Brotherhood of Spacers Alliance.

The deanchoring was decided after the attention of a far far larger Capsuleer alliance know as Fraternity began a widespread crusade against structures belonging to BOSS in attempt to evict the group along with other Capsuleer residents in Hopes of taking the region for themselves. The Warren was deanchored to avoid it a target for this overwhelmingly large alliance that has a vendetta.

While BOSS is not fleeing and not ruling out the renachoring of the Freeport, this turn of events is a giant step back for economic prosperity within the region.

Residents and business owners of the Warren were silently informed of the ongoing dilemma and efforts to evacuate before the deanchoring process finished went underway immediately. While it should be no surprised that a Capsuleer structure could always come under fire like this, it is still with a heavy heart to see the uprooting of so many homes and businesses aboard the Warren stuffed into nearby Guristas occupied stations.

For those businesses that opted into the Prosperous Venal Depository’s insurance plans in the event of "Capsuleer Shenanigans " - All charges to transport assets out of the warren and store it are being covered by us as well as assisting owners in finding a new site to relocate their business if they so desire. Businesses not on this insurance plan can still reach out to the Depository in search of aid in relocation for a 25% fee based on the amount of assets needing to be relocated.

Headquarters for both the Prosperous Venal depository and the Prosperity Agency will be moved to the Guriatas logistical station in 6NJ8-V and Windchime Guru Suha Raibuya has relocated to the Guristas Productions shipyard in system to continue providing spiritual guidance.

The news of this structure’s anchoring is a step back from turning Venal into a prosperous economical destination, we at the Prosperity Network are devastated at this news and hope that this Fraternity alliance is swiftly fought back and warren reanchored so business mat resume as it was

Over the past few days the planet has seen an increase of unmarked ships and pro-Sedevacantism supporters. These newcomers appear to be more vocal in their support for the church with almost all new violent clashes against protestors involving these individuals. Vandalism and graffiti have also increased in the area near the church with either “Sede Vacante”, anti-Minmatar slur or a mixture of both.

In an unprecedented move, a capsuleer is being called on for back payments of child support after numerous attempts by the yet-unnamed capsuleer to contact the mother and child.

“He just won’t leave us alone, so I figured, why not? Maybe he does have some connection to her. I still wouldn’t leave her alone with him,” the mother told reporters outside the courtroom after the initial hearing.

The mother claims she had her memories wiped after several traumatic encounters with the father. Still, she believes he is of means to support child and make sure she is brought up according to the proper tenants of the Amarrian Faith.

Little is known about the father, as records in this case are closed due to the minor age of the child, but it can be confirmed he has been ousted as a heretic by the Amarrian Theology Council.

The mother is being represented by the Legal Offices of Alahmed and Rogan. We caught up with the mother’s attorney, Octantia Dadarwar. “While we do not recognize this person’s rights as a citizen of Amarr, we do feel it is the responsibility of all parents to contribute to the upbringing of their children, and make sure they are brought up accordingly in the Faith. And in doing so, he should be made to pay for that upbringing, heretic or not.”

When asked about the mother, Miss Dadarwar brought this additional bit of information to the table, “Once the child is provided for, we will be doing all in our power to make sure this poor woman is compensated for the trauma inflicted on her by this individual. Years have passed since the incident, but we have no statute of limitations on these types of crimes.”

Miss Dadarwar departed without further comment. We will be following this case with interest.

GALNETIZEN SLUTHS CLAIM TO CRACK THE CASE OF KRIL EFRIT KIA CONTROVERSY

---

The GalNet has been abuzz lately on the Conspiracy channel of the Neocomm Network rife with armchair detectives claiming to have proven that recent footage of Kril Efrit from Skarkon II speaking in support of Shakor are “deepfake” videos made with AI technology created to spread anti-Triglavian propaganda.

Using a series of questionable close-up stills multiple users have claimed to have discovered “proof” of “visual artifacting” [sic] and “metadata” that would suggest that the hero-general of the Tribal Resistance Army was, at the very least, not present for the filming of the broadcast. When asked for proof of evidence, users provided close-up screen captures of low-quality stream compression and timecodes in the original video file that suggest it was recorded roughly 36 hours before it was shared within the Tribal Assembly.

“Its pretty terrifying,” one user named ProfessionalExplainer claimed, “I mean, the Republic has been ramping up warmongering rhetoric against the stagnant war in Pochven for a while, and if Kril Efrit is dead like some of the pages I read from sources in Skarkon is true then who knows who is really behind what’s going on in Skarkon? There could be a massive coup by his officers trying to provoke the Trigs into genocide and we wouldn’t even know it!”

“It’s pretty hard to say anything for certain with Deepfakes, AI is just too good these days to really tell,” said another user by the name of BasedAndSkarkonPilled, “But did you see that stream? If it wasn’t deep faked it was a green screen, because on my internet it looked like dogshit.”

24TH IMPERIAL CRUSADE LOGISTIC SUPPORT, MEHATOOR VI, DEVOID

Responding to a recent legal action seeking payment of child support, infamous capsuleer Nauplius has filed a legal brief of his own demanding sole custody of the child in question. In the brief, hand delivered to the court by a TCMC-programmed slave, Nauplius claims that the child was horrifically abducted shortly after birth by noblewoman Lady Melisande Galena, who faked the baby’s death and emotionally manipulated the distraught mother, Achuran Serena Shi, into ending her marriage to Nauplius and death-cloning away her memories of the relationship. Only then, it is claimed, did Lady Galena return the child to Ms. Shi, hiding from her the true identity of her baby’s father.

In addition to his demands for custody, backed by images and video of he and Ms. Shi together which were submitted along with the brief, Nauplius has demanded independent paternity testing and an injunction against Lady Galena, whom he says has not only manipulated Ms. Shi but failed to protect her against the threat of Minmatar assassins. The brief unusually extends to Ms. Shi an offer of remarriage, promising her a dowry of “at least” 100,000 yaks and 100,000 slaves along with a life of total luxury aboard her very own Victorieux Luxury Yacht and all the resources needed to raise her child in perfect comfort and security. “At least come visit me,” concluded Nauplius in his brief.

BREAKING NEWS:
The famous philanthropist Julian Flavours has been taken into custom along with his Yacht, Cupid’s Cumulus after a routine ship inspection by the Federal Navy. It is reported that several “dark” spots were scanned, eluding to hidden compartments on the vessel. The boarding party discovered a significant quantity of contraband of which Mr. Flavours denies any knowledge off.

Chatter between baseliners in some murky lowsec bar.

“So, that frigate fight goin’ to happen again? In Ouelletta?”

“Yup, tomorrow around 16… Luckily it’s frigates so we won’t lose too many peeps in shipwrecks, since eggers are usually fine flying those alone.”

“Yeah but… Heard some of the eggers are bringing super big ships. They just let the frigs destroy them… Why the ■■■■?”

“Hell if I know… Eggers are like that. Break big toys for the amusement of others. At least that Hun Tra guy is tellin’ everyone if people hop on his Drake, there’ll be escape pods ready for us. So I ain’t too bothered. Might join that in fact.”

“Why would you risk your life in… That?”

“For the ISK of course. The pay’s good! And that guy is worth of his word, my cousin was in one of his Trashers, got out just fine. It’s lowsec, not null, after all.”

A clink of glasses can be heard.
“To your funeral, pal.”
Dry laughter follows.

Mehatoor - 24th IC Station

Another hearing brought us a fascinating and almost horrifying proposal from the opposing client - an offer of remarriage. When asked about this and the likelihood of acceptance, the claimant turned a vivid shade of green and had to excuse herself from the proceedings.

Miss Dadarwar indicated this was further proof of the traumatic circumstances her client found herself in while under the influence of the respondent. She went on to say that they would be doing all in their power to prevent this respondent having any custody of or visitation with her client’s young daughter, pointing out his many inadequacies as a parent.

We also inquired about the charges laid against Lady Melisandre Galena, who has sheltered the claimant and her daughter since they fled the respondent. Miss Dadarwar had to refrain from laughing at the outrageous contention that ‘minmatar assassins’ were after her client and her client’s daughter.

“The entire concept is beyond humorous, only adding to the mounting evidence of the respondent’s instability. Lady Galena protected my client and did only as asked by my client to rid her of the trauma of the events. Officers of the court have been to see the child, and are completely satisfied with her upbringing. In fact, they are pleased she is being educated in the Faith, as well as other subjects appropriate for an Amarrian child. We are wholly confident in our success in these legal matters, and find it quite a shame that the respondent doesn’t see this is in the best interests of the child.”

"-When I speak of embracing human error, do not mistake me for making an excuse for incompetence. Discipline is a virtue, control over oneself both mentally and physically Is a trait that should be admired as much as it should be desired. Through discipline we can remain consistent, reliable and valuable. Discipline is what the Guristas are known and feared for. Without discipline, the Guristas would be no different than some petty band of scoundrels lacking both cohesion and threat…. Like the Seven or some other wretched band of louts whose name isn’t worth remembering.

As I’ve taught before, we should all strive for improvement. While our humanity makes us prone to mistakes, we are capable of willing ourselves into ensuring that the same mistake doesn’t happen again. This, is something each of you must grasp yourselves, to take action to improve and become a shining example of competence and dependability.

… So I better not ■■■■■■■ hear about any of you using my teaching of ‘Human error’ as an excuse for why you ■■■■■■ up the job you were given, got it?"

The Amarrian trade attaché to Orvolle has filed a formal inquiry with the Orvolle Ministry of Justice, noting the Empire’s urgent worry about the detainment of Julian Flavours. The inquiry from the attaché, who is rumored to be subservient to house Munory, emphasized the importance of mr. Flavours for the cultural exchanges between the Federation and the Empire. In his missive, the attaché argues that mr. Flavours’ swift release is beneficial and even crucial to the continuation of the fruitful cultural cooperation between the Federation and the Empire, as his work leads to an unquestionable mutual benefit and better understanding between the two apparently very different entities.

The Amarrian Consulate itself declined comment, except from a short statement saying that the Consul is most happily surprised by the unexpected initiative of his trade attaché but would prefer to first look more closely into the matter to clarify any formal stance regarding the detainment of mr. Flavours.

[Avio_Yaken]

Man, Woman… These words are labels, no different than those of national identities like being called Caldari… They serve a purpose in providing simplicity in one’s identity, but they are inherently limiting. Is it not a cruel thing that one’s life is planned with an expectation dependent on them being born with either a penis or a vagina? Personally I find-… I-I-Im sorry. You. Yes you, in the back that’s snickering. Do these words amuse you? Is it entertaining for you that I’m up here saying penis like it’s nothing? Or was it vagina that did it for you?

… Okay no, don’t you all start now. I bring these things up because I will not teach a spirituality that shuns these types of discussions as ‘improper’ and ‘childish’ as this subject is something essential for us to understand to discover our true identities. For far too long the so-called civilized societies of our cluster have propagated shackling mindsets in their people by giving them some set expectation for who they’re supposed to be based purely off some organ between your legs. While many will find comfort, there are just as many that become crippled by a role they never asked for. Forced to fit a mold that they themselves want to reject. Forced to meet some expectation on who they are, who they are supposed to be. Gender is not a fact, they are boxes used to sort individuals for the benefit of an authority. An authority that would do whatever it can to ensure those under it’s bootheel act and conduct themselves how they deem appropriate. No different than how Caldari are expected to be Caldari, or Amarr be Amarr. Like humans are expected to be single minded insects… We’re more complex than that.

I say, to the void with these labels of man and woman. We should not weaken ourselves with these labels and instead take control of our own identities. For they are ours after all… Not done by some wider collective, or even our parents and peers. And this is not some call that everyone here must abandon what they know themselves as currently. Simply put, do not take comfort that you are a man, or a woman. Take comfort that you are you. Whatever that may be… And if you are not comfortable? Seek it out… There is no pride to be had in linearity, no pride in some label branded to you based off some organ you carry. A penis is a penis as much as a vagina is just a vagina. They do not define who you are.

… Okay, whose snickering? Point them out."
