“Yesterday, as Caldari forces moved into the system, Gallente and CONCORD forces, appearing to be elements from the Gallente Black Eagles and CONCORD DERAIL special operations units, launched an attack against UNF assets in atmosphere of Eugales V, heavily damaging the sky platform Argallant. MD-791 dropships attached to Legion Transportation Wing Alpha, Squadrons 5, 6, and 7 were scrambled to the location of the stricken platform and assisted in the evacuation of UNF personnel from the platform before it was destroyed by the atmosphere of Eugales V. The UNF personnel have been brought to UNF facilities elsewhere in the constellation and returned to the custody of the UNF.

I would like to thank the Dark Wolf Legion pilots who responded to the sky platform Argallant’s call for aid. They acted unhesitatingly, bravely and heroically. Without them, the crew of the Argallant would have perished with the platform. The Dark Wolf Legion’s High Command has commissioned a new award, the Gallant Rescue - Argallant commendation, which has been awarded to all pilots involved in the rescue.”

Surge In Tattoo Removal For Matari Ink

Garoun Enquirer

by Vesh Jodexi

12 March YC125

As astropolitical alliances are being redrawn in the halls of power the fallout is being felt across the Federation.

A surprising result is the amount of bookings tattoo removal establishments in Caille are receiving from customers looking to get their Minmatar tribal tattoos erased.

The fad of Gallente getting Minmatar style tattoos has often been derided as frivolity at best or cultural appropriation at worst is now being regarded as unfashionable or “cringe” by the trendsetters of Garoun’s capital.

Tarand Joveaux, a dockworker at the Doule dos Rouvenor spaceport explains why he got his full sleeve Brutor tattoos.

“When I was a kid I just really admired the Minmatar after watching all those holos about the rebellion. You know, I just wanted to show I appreciated their struggle to be free. It wasn’t cultural appropriation, it was admiration. That’s why I got this Brutor ink.”

When asked why he was having his Matari tattoos removed, M. Joveaux had this to say.

“I don’t want Matari crap on me. I might as well be saying I’m a squid loving fash to my friends and I’m not about that. It’s like a sign on the streets saying I’m a jackboot.”

It’s not just Gallente having their Matari ink removed as Zoul Vardess, owner of House of Vardess, a lifestyle boutique in L’Neiro explains.

“Look, I get some folk who come in here and they say they’re Gallente looking to get some Matari tattoos removed. But I can see their voluvals when we do the treatment. I know the marks and these folk definitely aren’t Gallente, or at least they only identified as such recently. What can I say? It’s Caille and one day being a Matari has some cachet and the next you’re just not trendy anymore. No one appreciates you like they used to.”

When asked what’s trending right now in the tattoo scene of Caille M. Vardess declared:

“Black Eagles. Everyone wants a black eagle right now. Real patriotic, huh?”

“–introduced her a type of unshackled warmind hidden within some Holovid VFX software. This is just an access terminal, the actual frame is apparently already in play. Don’t worry about the visuals I’ve been told its just a form of deterrent mimicry, like eye-spots on a moth. Though they might have just said that to make me feel better. I’ve been staring at it for a while, they say it can actually react sort of like an octopus changing shape by reading the vitals of the observer. Or. Maybe its all the VFX, while the warmind is more like a fish living in an anemone using the visuals as a sort of defense.”

“You’ve been watching a lot of nature documentaries lately?”

“No. Just. You know. You remember the whale thing. And the crabs before that? And the submarine? Anyway. Evidently, its been waiting to meet us a while now.”

“Yes yes, even if you didn’t which you do, you were saying?”

“I was saying I’d be more afraid of Red Troop putting you on ice than whatever the hell this thing is capable of shitting out. If we’re going to push back we can’t risk transfer interception, so we need to do this rogue-like. Closed casket. No reclones, dropsuit detects a breach at all nanites go into self destruction and a simple radio tone alerts the caches of blanks to load a softclone from before first contact. You either get one shot, or you start again with a clean slate. Troika testing means we’ve drifted too far from conventional TACNET protocols and we don’t have the tools to do this in the field. We need something more equipped that can access our network and reprogram our setup on the fly before we risk combat.”

“This is gonna wreck hell on the Artificial Troika, we’re talking serious impact to the tactical zeitgeist for four to six months.”

“Its worth it.”

“And there’s not another way?”

“Even if we leave now the same ■■■■ will happen if they run us down or intercept our flight. It’s jack in, or risk of becoming Kasiha’s lapdog and humping her virtual leg in time prison on some asshole’s SSD until they decide to let you out on parole to hunt the rest of us down.”

[long pause]

“Okay. ■■■■ it. Let them know I’m okay with it and we can start. And don’t glare at me like that if I’m going first. I hate it when people watch… This thing have a name?.”

Explosion Rocks Downtown Subil-Kayat Killing Intaki Banker

Garoun Enquirer

15 March YC 125

by Vesh Jodexi

INTAKI – The busy downtown suburbs of Subil-Kayat were rocked by an explosive blast in early rush hour traffic killing two men now identified as prominent Intaki financier Uvil Tarman, 74, and Devam Ruvilross, 57.

Mssrs. Tarman and Ruvilross were travelling in an armoured sedan on Yekam Road in the Zebin district when another vehicle arrived next to them in the morning traffic and detonated an explosive device as witnessed on traffic surveillance camera footage.

As terrified onlookers and other drivers ran from the site of the explosion the local Subil-Kayat Gendarmerie were quickly on the scene and cordoned off the area as police from the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Unit searched for other potential explosive devices.

Subil-Kayat Gendarmerie Chief Inspector Rutim Avaskaya has released a preliminary statement regarding the incident.

“This morning at approximately 0845 Hours local Subil-Kayat time an AI piloted vehicle borne explosive device was detonated in the Zebin district leading to the deaths of two men now identified as Uvil Tarman aged 74 a local resident and Devam Ruvilross aged 57 who was a fugitive wanted by Federal Police.

Evidence gathered at the scene of the explosion has lead us to believe that the device used was an explosively formed penetrator consisting of an industrial pressure cooker containing a copper jacket and commercial high explosives.

We believe this to be a deliberate and targeted attack with the device aimed at defeating the protection of Monsieur Tarman’s armoured vehicle. Both Monsieur Tarman and Monsieur Ruvilross were killed instantly by the superheated copper plasma used in the explosive device.

With information released to us by the Special Department of Internal Investigations we believe both Monsieur Tarman and Monsieur Ruvilross were on their way to meet with members of the Free Intaki Army in secret when they were targeted for assassination by a splinter faction of the FIA.

The crudity of the explosive device used and the politics of Monsieur Tarman lead us to believe that this is the case.

No other casualties or injuries have been reported although counselling services have been made available to witnesses of this attack.”

Uvil Tarman was a prominent banker and financier who made his initial fortunes in commodities speculation and collectible card games before moving into politics later in life. He helped form and fund the Movement For a New Future Party which has been a long fixture in fringe Intaki right-wing nationalism although he never ran for office. He had long been suspected of having strong ties to the criminal underworld of the Intaki Syndicate.

Devam Ruvilross was a member of the anarcho-syndicalist “urban guerilla” Zefil-Keram Gang advocating for Intaki rights which terrorised the low security frontiers of Solitude between YC95 and YC100 in a spate of high profile heists, kidnappings, and bombings before they were corned by the Federal Police Special Enforcement Unit in the notorious Hotel Jerache massacre of YC100. Which resulted in a three day siege and running gun battles in the streets of Souvonne City and the deaths of most members of the gang.

Devam Ruvilross survived the Hotel Jerache massacre and was tried and convicted on murder and terrorism related offences in YC101. He escaped from Federal custody along with two other members of the Zefil-Keram Gang during a prison break in YC103. His whereabouts have since long been unknown until his recent death in Intaki.

Uvil Tarman is survived by his wife and three children.

Caille Trader Dead After Freak Accidental Defenestration

Garoun Enquirer

17 March YC 125

by Vesh Jodexi

CAILLE – Party-goers and revellers in Caille’s trendy L’Neiro district were met with a grisly scene in the early morning hours of Thursday as a local man fell to his death from a penthouse suite in the heritage Tousille Building.

The man, identified as Guilam Buvienne, 63, was attending a party at the penthouse suite in L’Neiro hosted by the fashionista Vedila Colleaux when it appears he fell out of a bathroom window to his death 82 stories below.

M. Buvienne worked as a trader for Garoun Investment Bank and was a long fixture in Caille’s nightlife and social scene.

“He worked hard and he partied even harder, everyone loved him,” Said friend and fellow trader at GIB, Zentam Jaideron, “I can’t believe what happened, I guess the party life catches up to you eventually.”

No one was more shocked than fashion idol Vedila Colleaux, “I still cannot process that my dear and lovely Buvi is gone. The pain I feel right now must be nowhere near to that of his family. My heart goes out to them. Wherever you are dear Buvi I hope you’re partying as hard as you lived and loved life.”

The Caille Police have made a preliminary statement regarding the death of Guilam Buvienne.

“In the morning hours of Thursday the 16th a local Caille man identified as Guilam Buvienne, aged 63, fell to his death while attending a social event at the Tousille Building in the L’Neiro district.

At this time we believe the circumstances leading to Monsieur Buvienne’s death was a result of heavy intoxication while leaning against a plate glass panel in a bathroom of the event site.

Unfortunately for Monsieur Buvienne we now believe that due to the age of the building and improper maintenance that the restraining bolts holding the plate glass in place failed catastrophically resulting in his fall to his death.

Due to this we are not treating the death of Monsieur Buvienne as suspicious at this time and not the result of any foul play.

Our condolences go out to the family of Monsieur Buvienne.”

In a surprising twist to events the local Caille office of the Special Department of Internal Investigations or Black Eagles issued their own statement regarding the accidental defenestration of M. Guilam Buvienne.

“According to a separate investigation conducted by the Department it is the belief that Guilam Buvienne, a resident of Caille was in fact the alias of one Ansom Touvinne a former member of the terrorist Zefil-Keram Gang responsible for murder and kidnapping in Solitude and a wanted fugitive by the Federal Police.

It is our belief Ansom Touvinne aka Guilam Buvienne came to Caille and secured a job as a trader with Garoun Investment Bank with the express intention of conducting money laundering for criminal elements of the Intaki Syndicate and placing rogue trades to the benefit of Intaki terrorist and anti-Federal groups and has done so for the past two decades.

We are currently conducting forensic accounting of M.Touvinne’s records at Garoun Investment Bank where we believe he was recently responsible for diverting large amounts of capital to a splinter faction of the Free Intaki Army.

We do not consider the circumstances of the death of Ansom Touvinne aka Guilam Buvienne as suspicious.”

The Zefil-Keram gang was a notorious terrorist militia operating in Solitude in the mid to late YC 90’s and were responsible for multiple murders and bombings before the eventual death or capture of all members of the gang by the Special Enforcement Unit of the Federal Police at the infamous Hotel Jerache massacre.

The circumstances of the death Guilam Buvienne aka Ansom Touvinne has motivated the Caille city council to consider the possibility of a new public awareness campaign warning revellers and residents of the dangers of high-story windows while intoxicated.

Actor Dead After Being Hoisted By Own Petard

Garoun Enquirer

18 March YC 125

by Vesh Jodexi

INTAKI – An explosion on stage has killed the actor Nushil Vesprata, 64, during an evening performance of Dusivette’s classic play, “Paths of Ruin,” being held at the Narikaam Theatre in the city of Subil-Kayat.

Terrified audience members rushed out of the theatre for safety after the explosion.

“It was total havoc in there. I know act two was meant to finish with a bang but not like that!” Said one theatre patron.

Monsieur Vesprata was killed during a soliloquy in act two just after delivering the seminal line, “For this becomes a death and a beginning.” Before disappearing in a cloud of smoke and debris.

Gathering crowds and shocked theatre-goers outside were surprised when armed officers of the Federal Police Special Enforcement Unit arrived on the scene in a convoy of armoured personnel carriers and quickly cordoned off the scene at the theatre.

Tactical assault teams of the Special Enforcement Unit then stormed the theatre and sounds of gunfire could be heard by the crowds outside as it has been reported that the Special Enforcement Unit engaged with insurgents belonging to a splinter faction of the Free Intaki Army, killing 4 insurgents.

A further search of the theatre revealed explosives and other bomb making equipment was being stored beneath the main stage in addition to small arms and ammunition where it is now believed they were to be used in future terrorist attacks.

Senior Detective-Constable Juanil Razim of Federal Police had this to say regarding their operation at the Narikaam Theatre.

“Today the Special Enforcement Unit acting on actionable intelligence we have received conducted an operation at the Narikaam theatre in Subil-Kayat with the intention of apprehending the actor Nushil Vesprata.

We believe Nushil Vesprata was the assumed identity of the wanted fugitive and terrorist Rushil Keram, co-founder of the Intaki ultranationalist terror group the Zefil-Keram Gang responsible for mass-murder and other atrocities in the Solitude region in the mid to late YC 90’s.

Given evidence gathered at the Narikaam Theatre and at Rushil Keram’s residence it is our belief that he had been using his position under the identity of Nushil Vesprata to recruit and radicalize members of the community in the hateful ideology of Intaki ultranationalism and conduct future terror attacks as part of a splinter faction of the Free Intaki Army.

Rushil Keram was killed when he accidentally activated an anti-personnel mine that had been stored beneath the main stage of the Narikaam theatre during a performance being held.”

In response to the operation by the Special Enforcement Unit the Subil-Kayat city government has raised its terror alert level from ‘Probable’ to ‘Expected’ in which a terrorist attack is believed to be ‘highly likely’ in the near future.

The Subil-Kayat Gendarmes office of public affairs cautions the public to exercise extreme vigilance in the near future and to report any suspicious activity to the local Gendarmes or the Federal authorities.

Hospital Bombing And Mass Shooting By Intaki Ultranationalist Gunman Leaves Hundreds Dead And Hundreds More Wounded Or Missing

Garoun Enquirer

22 March YC 125

by Vesh Jodexi

Subil-Kayat, Intaki – A truck laden with explosives detonated at the Tarimkar Hospital and simultaneous gun attack at the Kumilyan botanical gardens by a lone gunman has left over 120 confirmed dead and hundreds more injured or missing as distraught friends and family search for their loved ones.

The culprit has been identified by the Subil-Kayat Gendarmes as Numil Jasaraya, 27, formerly a fulfilment specialist with FedMart who is said to have been known to authorities and has prior convictions for assault and racial vilification.

Numil Jasaraya was cornered in a kiosk during his rampage at the Kumilyan botanical gardens and killed by a tactical assault team according to the FedPol Special Enforcement Unit.

Numil Jasaraya was banned just last month from a popular social media platform in Intaki after a hate-laden rant filled with racial invective against the resident Gallente minority of the system made under the handle, ‘FreeIntakiPatriot’.

M. Jasaraya left a hate-filled and deranged manifesto prior to his attack on the fringe Intaki ultranationalist and conspiracy galnet site, Echelon Front, in which he described his actions as, ‘a strike against the Gallente imperialist elites and a path towards true Intaki liberation,’ and, ‘in memory of our Intaki martyrs such as Zefil and Keram.’

Which is believed to be an allusion to the politics of the notorious Intaki ultranationalist Zefil-Keram Gang whose co-founder, Rushil Keram was killed in an accidental explosion at the Narikaam theatre late last week.

Senior Detective-Constable Juanil Razim of the Special Enforcement Unit of FedPol has confirmed the links between Numil Jasaraya and Rushil Keram.

“We believe that the culprit behind today’s terrorist attacks in Subil-Kayat was inducted and radicalised in the hateful beliefs of Intaki ultranationalism by the terrorist leader Rushil Keram.”

Numil Jasaraya was formerly a member of the Movement For a New Future political party known for its fringe right-wing and nationalist politics but was ejected from the party after his views were considered too extremist even for their policies. It is now suspected M. Jasaraya was behind the targeted assassination of the Movement For a New Future party founder and donor Uvil Tarman on the 15th of March.

It is believed the Tarimkar Hospital in Subil-Kayat was selected as a target for today’s terror attack as it was where mercenary operatives of the Namtar Elite private military company had been evacuated for treatment for wounds suffered during an ambush late last week in the nearby Akat Mountains by a splinter faction of the Free Intaki Army now believed to have been led and sponsored by the now deceased Rushil Keram.

However, according to Namtar Elite Public Affairs spokeswoman Vieve Alleronds all Namtar Elite mercenaries recuperating at the Tarimkar Hospital had been evacuated to the Fort Harner Federal Marines base for further treatment just “mere hours” before it was bombed.

Tarimkar Hospital is a scene of devastation after the truck bomb autonomously piloted by the terrorist Numil Jasaraya has left the Gamesh Vasrilya Memorial Wing flattened and the surrounding area covered in scorched debris left behind by the attack.

In one heart-wrenching scene uploaded to social media the still burning remains of a child’s stuffed animal can be seen among the wreckage of the explosion.

As emergency services struggle to search for any survivors of the attack among the rubble of the Tarimkar Hospital distraught friends and family of patients await for any news outside the exclusion zone. Many struggle to understand why the hospital was targeted.

“They call themselves the Free Intaki Army but is this what a free Intaki is supposed to look like? Where innocent people are killed just because they don’t hate the Gallente?” Said Tariya Inderlan whose mother was undergoing treatment in the oncology department, “What did my mother do? Why do they want to free us by killing us?”

Similar sentiments of confusion and despair were shared by others.

“I just don’t understand it, it’s all so senseless. What do these deaths serve?” Said Lamik Umilkan, “My daughter is in there somewhere. Alive or dead, I don’t know. She didn’t oppress anyone. Is this what liberation is meant to look like? It just looks like suffering to me.”

Surviving patients and victims of the bombing at the Tarimkar hospital have been transferred to neighbouring hospitals in Subil-Kayat.

Soon after the bombing at the Tarimkar Hospital Numil Jasaraya conducted a lone wolf style mass shooting at the nearby Kumilyan botanical gardens. Armed with a rail rifle and heavy combat armour M. Jasaraya shot indiscriminately into crowds gathered at the botanical gardens made popular by tourists, especially Gallente, who have enjoyed the cultivated styles of the renowned Intaki landscape architect Inkeril Tuvipaata.

The Special Enforcement Unit of FedPol responded swiftly to the attack at the Kumilyan botanical gardens and the skies were filled by the sounds of FedPol gunships as tactical assault teams landed and quickly cornered the gunman at a kiosk where he was then killed without further casualties.

Senior Detective-Constable Juanil Razim of the Special Enforcement Unit of FedPol commented on today’s attacks and the operations of his unit.

“Today it is with great sadness that the people of Subil-Kayat had to experience first hand the horrors caused by the hateful ideology of Intaki ultranationalism. Make no mistake that those motivated by ultranationalist beliefs do not fight for your sake or your freedom. They fight and kill only because they hate and they have no qualms killing those they purport to defend.

We who have long fought against Intaki ultranationalists such as in Solitude understand this well. We cannot negotiate with such people whose hatreds have blinded them against any and all reason or desire for peace. We can only fight them, and in the end win.

To the people of Subil-Kayat I say this, stand with the Federation in these dark times and the Federation will stand by you.

And win we shall.”

So far no group has claimed responsibility for today’s attacks in Subil-Kayat.

Over the past few days, CONCORD DERAIL and Red Troop command elements responsible for troops deployed in Eugales reported unusual and sometimes sustained glitches in communication software and decreased reliability of some long range guided munitions. In the worst cases, units had comms reduced to garble long enough for warnings of impending counterattacks on their positions to be missed, resulting in notable losses. Interference is suspected and investigation is underway.

RSS Anti-Warclone Units Intercept Foreign Mercenary Probe in Eugidi

27.3.125

Echoing the latest reports from the New Eden Cluster Security Committee of renegade warclone activity in Placid, the Tronhada Free Guard have confirmed ongoing operations against Triglavian-affiliated mercenary warclones in the Eugidi constellation.
The report, allegedly presented to the Sanmatar’s Circle for Security Co-ordination prior to public release, details initial contact with a small expeditionary force of Triglavian raiding parties on the surface of Floseswin III by the Tronhada Free Guard. After repelling destructive probing attacks on Republic infrastructure the Free Guard continued to track and pursue the withdrawing enemy troops across the rugged terrain of the storm world.

Unable to make use of dropship support due to an ongoing spike of high energy storms battering the planet, Tronhada agents were forced to shadow the hostile raiding party on foot in a grueling thirty-six hour chase across the mountains. Trained in the frozen Tronhada Mountains of Matar, the Free Guard were eventually able to close the distance and reengage the enemy. Despite taking a disadvantagous position while their targets held the high ground, a pitched battle ensued with the Free Guard ultimately coming out ahead in the firefight.

Post-combat investigation revealed the guardsmen were not engaged with regular army, ‘Siege Elites’ or Pochven conscripts, but renegade warclones known to act as insurgents and pathfinders for the Collective. These “varyazi” units match the description of other warclones teams intercepted by Red Troop in Eugales. While their purpose on Floseswin III is unknown, comments from the Circle for Security Co-ordination indicate concern that agent provocateurs may be leveraging “irresponsible and unvetted” mercenary contracts put forward by foreign powers seeking to gain an advantage in the ongoing arms race to develop an Interstellar Shipcaster. As tension continues to build between the empires of New Eden, Triglavian-aligned warclones may use this “shadow war” to mask an insurgency or commit false flag attacks aimed to prevent any one side from achieving dominance.

Fearing reprisal or further raids, the Tronhada Free Guard have been deputized into existing RSS anti-warclone units. Originally created due to the Tribal Council’s refusal to permit DED units to operate with impunity within the Republic, comparisons with SARO’s RED TROOP are unavoidable. According to one RSS operative who chose to remain anonymous, with suspicion of CONCORD overreach and doubt in EDENCOM’s impartiality at an all-time high the stage is set for a “major pissing match” [sic] between RSS and RED TROOP anti-warclone units over the necessity of CONCORD leadership to provide protection against these emergent threats.

“RED TROOP would like nothing more than to point to Eugales as an example of why we should tolerate their routine meddling in tribal affairs. The numbers they cite of enemy KIA are obviously outrageously inflated for that exact reason. Our teams have been training in Mikramurka for this type of confrontation for three years now. We’ll show the cluster that the Republic can fight its own battles and win without them.”

The Varyazi for their part have been quick to avenge the loss of their combat teams, sending assault ships with boarding parties to harrass Republic research stations and Krullefor outposts across Eugidi under the gaise of mercenary contracts dispatched by The Agency. The Agency has a long history of issuing mercenary contracts to unscrupulous warclones without proper vetting, dating back to its origins as Ostrakon. Despite these attacks, the amount of troops Varyazi have deployed remain relatively low-- hinting at recent egregious losses that may take time to recover from before they can launch a full offensive in force without burning through their network of imbedded insurgents.

“The Ida is a choice of paths by which we understand the universe to a greater extent and are enlightened by said understanding, to die and not be reborn is a failure to appreciate your place in this world.”

“Of the capsuleer I am in awe may it be said that such beacons of magnificence have never lit the dark void to such an extent then when these person traverse the skies.”

The following has appeared in encrypted messaging channels related to Intaki separatists:

From: Zefil-Keram Compact Office of Public Instruction

We are the revolutionary soldiers of the Zefil-Keram compact and adherents of the thoughts of the martyrs Anil Zefil and Nushil Keram.

We claim responsibility for the attack carried out in Subil-Kayat by our martyr Numil Jasaraya against the Gallente imperialists who shackle our bodies and our spirits in colonialist bondage.

Those who question our methods know that those who harbour the Gallente oppressors and provide them succour are just as complicit as the oppressor of the state in stifling the freedom and autonomy of the Intaki people by collaborating with the coloniser and imperialist.

We are the Zefil-Keram Compact and we reject the hierarchy of power that the Gallente Federation embodies as immoral and unethical as it exists only to provide protection to the owners of capital to exploit the labour class beneath their boots and engage in colonist enterprises at the expense of indigent communities.

Our rejection of the authority and power of the state embodied by the Gallente Federation can only be carried out through violence for diplomacy or negotiation will always fail to convince those privileged with the power and wealth gained through human exploitation to relinquish it freely.

Only through the blood of martyrs and revolutionary struggle can there exist a true liberation of the Intaki body, thought, and spirit from those who would seek to enslave us to a system we did not choose or consent to.

We are the Zefil-Keram Compact and we will fight against the Federal imperialist, capitalist, and coloniser with blood and bullet so that the Intaki people may exist free to return to our true culture and history free from foreign influence and the oppressive hierarchy of state power that enriches the capitalist and impoverishes the worker.

Our struggle seeks to liberate labour and create a new system of intentional communities based upon the Intaki ashram where workers are able to freely associate and contribute without state violence or authority.

Our struggle is your struggle.

Join us.

Investigation into the communications disturbances of DERAIL and SARO Red Troop in Eugales have concluded. The cause has been determined to be a localized breach by Triglavian malware affecting devices operated in the Eugales system, particularly those used on and near Eugales VI. Analysis has revealed that the breach allowed for manipulation of the receiving and transmitting frequencies of communications equipment. CONCORD IT specialists are now at work trying to hunt down and seal up the vulnerability exploited to infect the devices.
