“Brothers and Sisters! We are the Vaatasuri Shaatei and I stand before you today with a simple message. Our time of recompense has come! For too long our children have gone hungry and our elders fallen sick while the Megas ration food and medicine to fight their wars for profit. No more! We have waited long enough for the Executives to provide what ought to be due for their own kirjuun. We have sacrificed while they live in extravagance and waste. No more! Behind me is a warehouse full of the products of your labor! Not theirs! Come with me, and we will take what is rightfully ours!”

In the background, a cadre of black garbed militants approach a warehouse door and set a breaching charge. After retreating behind a security barrier for cover, they detonate the charge. The crowd cheers, and surges forward into the warehouse.

YC125.12.05 // ATHOUNON VI


As the recent Guristas insurgency comes to an end, the efforts of Federation, Militia, and Corporate forces have intensified as they shift their focus to eradicate remnants of the pirates who made it planetside.

Despite the absence of a formal ceasefire, the concerted efforts to neutralize the lingering Guristas threat have offered some relief to the established frontlines, with the elimination of lingering insurgents seemingly taking precedence over territorial expansion to Taayusaka forces.

The crackdown is marked by a relentless pursuit, especially by Taayusaka Counter-Insurgency units, raising concerns about the reported brutality in their operations. Reports emerging from the crackdown zone suggest that on-site summary executions are being carried out whenever Guristas captives are taken, if not denied any chance to surrender outright.

As the crackdown continues, local authorities and residents brace themselves for the ongoing intensity of the operation.

Taayusaka Eskeitan spokesperson Inachi Kaparainen issued the following statement:

"In response to recent reports regarding the conduct of our Counter-Insurgency Taskforce Officers during the ongoing operations against Guristas remnants on Athounon VI, Taayusaka Eskeitan would like to provide clarification on the matter.

The Yulai Accords, a cornerstone of interstellar law, unequivocally outline the treatment of enemy combatants during times of conflict. It is crucial to note that Guristas Pirates, as non-state actors, do not fall under the purview of these accords. Furthermore, they are not recognized as having any rights under Corporate law.

In light of this, our Counter-Insurgency Taskforce Officers are fully within their rights to process captured Guristas operatives on the spot. This includes the decision to take necessary actions to neutralize potential threats swiftly and decisively. Our commitment to the safety and stability of Athounon VI remains unwavering, and we prioritize the protection of our personnel and the populace.

It is essential to understand the unique challenges posed by non-state actors such as the Guristas. Our Counter-Insurgency operations adhere to the legal framework provided by the Yulai Accords and Corporate law, ensuring the efficient and lawful handling of individuals identified as threats to the security of Athounon VI.

Taayusaka Eskeitan remains dedicated to transparency and accountability in our operations. We appreciate the understanding of the public and international community as we navigate the complexities of this security situation."

YC125.12.07 // ATHOUNON VI


As Taayusaka counter-insurgency operations persist, a surge in activity by the expelled Cieléclat Garrison has been observed, causing significant disruptions to resource extraction operations exploiting occupied territories.

The expelled Cieléclat Garrison, led by Commander Jonatya Fauneux, orchestrated a series of well-coordinated strikes employing loitering kamikaze drones. The attacks targeted Taayusaka mining contractors, resulting in the destruction of multiple transports and crippling a mobile mining rig owned by Sioux Extraction Systems, a Châtelleraultois corporation.

Commander Fauneux broadcast the following message in the aftermath of those strikes:

"People of Athounon VI!

I address you today as a defender of our cherished homeland against the corporate invaders who have tarnished the sanctity of our soil!

Taayusaka Eskeitan, the puppeteers behind the occupation, have not only invaded our lands but have now resorted to plundering our resources, ruthlessly mining our mineral deposits for their insatiable greed. The so-called “Colonial Enhancement Zone” they propagate is nothing but a euphemism for the subjugation of our people, the desecration of our autonomy!

In their lust for power and profit, Taayusaka has turned our own territories against us, collaborating with local traitorous corporations, having them exploit our wealth on their behalf! Today, I declare, as a loyal son of Athounon VI, that we will not stand idly by while traitors collude with these Caldari invaders!

Our recent strikes on Taayusaka’s mining operations are a resounding declaration of resistance. The advanced munitions we deployed were the instruments of our defiance, targeting their contractors and crippling their mining rigs. We will not allow them to rob us of our resources, nor will we bow to the tyranny they seek to impose!

To those who collaborate with the invaders, hear this: you are traitors, selling the soul of our planet for corporate promises and fleeting riches. Your allegiance to the occupiers will not be forgotten. We, the Free Cieléclat Garrison, stand united against this oppression, and we will not rest until our homeland is free from the clutches of these invaders!

This is not just a fight for territory, it is a battle for the heart and soul of Athounon VI. We reject the invaders and their collaborators, and we call upon every true patriot to rise against this menace! Together, we will drive them out, liberate our lands, and restore the honor and dignity of our great planet!

For Athounon! For Liberty! For the Federation!"

Despite the inflammatory rhetoric, Taayusaka Eskeitan claims to remain resolute in its commitment to security and stability on Athounon VI. In response to the insurgent attacks, CorpSec forces are now actively deployed alongside mining corporations’ security details to fortify defense capabilities against further strikes.

Email sent anonymously to Woodrow Ormand intercepted by the Fulcrum networks before being sent on to its destination

I owe you an explanation for my absence. I took a page out of your book from the Triglavian crisis and adapted it to current times. I’m currently working with the Deathless, and by extension, the Guristas and the Angel Cartel, to gain favor and access inside the Fulcrum so we may gain technology and resources in return for service. They are aware of who I am and my motives, so there is no confusion at later dates. The hope is that we may be able to upgrade our own infrastructure, as well as not have all our eggs in one basket, as it were, just in case someone were to come for us in the future, like they did in Skarkon.

YC125.12.12 // ATHOUNON VI


A new and highly virulent disease, designated RCV-25A, has gripped the state of Qucrain, sparking widespread panic and prompting the declaration of a state of emergency by the Qucrainais State Assembly. The outbreak is believed to be linked to the crash of an unmarked shuttle in a residential zone over a week ago.

RCV-25A presents as a severe respiratory illness, initially marked by coughing, followed by signs of hemorrhagic fever. The disease progresses rapidly, leading to respiratory failure, dehydration, and organ failure, resulting in fatal outcomes. Thousands are currently on life support, but documented cases have shown a grim pattern of succumbing to the disease despite medical intervention.

Hospitals in Qucrain are struggling to cope with the rising number of cases, exacerbated by severe personnel shortages as medical staff succumb to the illness themselves. The Qucrainais Healthcare Committee has deployed AIMED units to mitigate further casualties among medical staff, but the scale of the outbreak poses significant challenges.

Efforts to develop a vaccine have faced obstacles, with the ongoing conflict against Taayusaka Corporate Security hindering reliable communication and collaboration with other free states on Athounon VI.

The timing of the shuttle crash, particularly its similarities to a previous incident caused by members of the Free Cieléclat Garrison, has raised suspicions and accusations of bioweapon usage. Many are pointing fingers at either Taayusaka Eskeitan or the Free Cieléclat Garrison, fueling a tense atmosphere in Qucrain as authorities grapple with both the outbreak and its potential origins.



News in Brief

  • Conflict on all fronts re-escalates as Gurista purges conclude

  • Rafriulien riots supressed by joint Taayusaka and Sukuuvestaa security forces

  • Qucrain closes borders and denies entry to refugees as RCV-25A cases spike

  • Taayusaka Counter-Insurgency Taskforce accused of ‘indiscriminate targeting’ of innocent non-combatants during anti-Gurista operations

  • Attempted raid by FCG militants repelled by reinforced corporate security detail, resulting in only ‘negligible casualties’

  • Taayusaka Colonial Enhancement Zone enforces strict measures to detect any potential spread of infectious diseases within its urban territories

  • FIO operatives reportedly spotted near occupied borders in civilian vehicles

  • Inachi Kaparainen appointed Director of Public Affairs and assigned as Taayusaka’s liaison on the Cieléclatois Assembly

Gallentia Primacy Warehouse Raided By Intaki Anarchist Terrorists; 34 Dead

Garoun Enquirer

13 December YC125

By Vesh Jodexi

LUTESSE, MIES – Residents of the suburb of Roideron in the city of Lutesse in the Mies system were awoken in the early morning hours of Tuesday to the sound of low flying drop ships as a targeted cyber-attack left their local powergrid offline and unable to contact emergency services or access GalNet.

The drop ships converged on an industrial park where datapad footage taken from neighbouring apartments show black armoured figures armed with rifles disembarking or rappelling from the craft before assaulting a warehouse building.

The sound of automatic gunfire and explosions rocked the local area as figures in civilian clothing can be seen fleeing the warehouse before falling to the ground either dead or wounded.

The entire incident is believed to have taken approximately ten minutes before the black-clad armoured figures can be seen embarking their drop ships and then exiting the area into the morning darkness.

Services to the suburb of Roideron were restored within an hour of the attack and the site was cordoned off by local police who conducted their own investigation assisted by the Special Department of Internal Investigations who in a preliminary statement have uncovered that the warehouse had been used as a front for the Gallentia Primacy movement.

The local Lutesse Coroners Office has confirmed that 34 people have been killed in the attack all of whom are suspected to be members of the Gallentia Primacy movement who had entered the city under aliases and false identities.

The Intaki anarchist group the Zefil-Keram Compact has claimed responsibility for the attack in a statement released to Crux District anti-fascist GroupNets:

“We are the Zefil-Keram Compact and we are the martyrs of liberty.

Today the brave soldiers of our movement have struck a blow against the vile fascists of Gallentia Primacy and have spilled the blood of the scions of the hated Duvailer.

With daring and the songs of freedom stirring in our hearts we descended open the nest of tyrants hiding in Mies who dared thought themselves beyond the reach of our retribution and cut them down.

Do not look towards your government and the corrupt politicians who desire only to cultivate their own power and wealth or the police and military they keep on their leash to protect you from the hateful and vile movement that is the Gallentia Primacy.

The power is in your hands, join us, for only through violence do we break free from the chains of tyranny and fascism.”

The claim by the Zefil-Keram Compact has been corroborated by the Crux office of the Special Department of Internal Investigations who released their own statement today:

“On the 12th of December a warehouse facility in the city of Lutesse in Mies believed to have been used as a logistics hub by the Gallentia Primacy movement for attacks on government, military, and civilian targets in the Crux District was attacked by members of the terrorist group, the Zefil-Keram Compact that has left 34 suspected members of Gallentia Primacy dead.

The attack carried out by Zefil-Keram was initiated by a cyber-attack on local power and communications infrastructure that delayed response by authorities. This was then proceeded with by a kinetic assault conducted by armed operatives of Zefil-Keram of the warehouse used by Gallentia Primacy. Zefil-Keram were able to exfiltrate successfully after the attack due to a failure in orbital traffic monitoring made possible by their cyber-attack.

It is the belief of the Department that the attack was carried out for ideological reasons and the successful manner in which it was conducted within Mies is due to the financial, material, and training support received by the Zefil-Keram group from the Guristas Pirates over a months long period.”

The Zefil-Keram Compact has its roots in Intaki ultranationalist and anarchist movements present in the Solitude region and has seen a resurgence in recent months following the Federal intervention in the Intaki system.

Retired Federal Marine General Juilliam Tomincou who now works as a lecturer at the New Eden Institute for Security Co-Operation has his own opinion after seeing the footage of the attack:

“Whoever carried out this raid knew exactly what they were doing. They setup a security cordon and snipers to take out runners from the building. The kinetic breach was carried out with surprise, violence of action, and speed. These were professionals. I find it hard to believe this was carried out by terrorists or anarchists even if they were funded and trained by the Guristas. This operation reminds me more of corporate kill teams or Black Eagle Disposal Units.”

YC125.12.17 // ATHOUNON VI


In a significant development in the ongoing health crisis in Qucrain, researchers have identified the deadly outbreak as a strain of bacterium showing alarming signs of Triglavian mutadaptation. This bacterium, responsible for the outbreak, has been officially redesignated as “Mutadaptive Pulmonary Hemorrhagic Bacterium 125A”.

The situation in Qucrain has grown increasingly dire as the virulent nature of MPHB-125A becomes increasingly apparent. The identification of the disease’s Mutadaptive character further complicates any attempts at developing a cure locally.

In response to the outbreak, Taayusaka Eskeitan has initiated a general inoculation program in their occupied territories and extended an offer of assistance to Qucrain for researching the disease and developing a cure. However, Qucraines authorities have emphatically declined the offer, prompting sporadic unrest among the population, who express concerns that their government is not taking adequate measures to combat the disease as the death toll continues to rise.

The healthcare crisis has also placed tremendous strain on Qucrain’s logistics, causing disruptions in their supply chains. As defending militia forces face dwindling essential supplies, Caldari forces have capitalized on this vulnerability, making territorial gains in the region and exacerbating the situation.

Meanwhile, authorities continue to investigate the shuttle crash that is believed to have triggered the outbreak. The identity of the pilot remains unknown, though investigators report that they cannot conclusively identify them as neither a Caldari operative nor Federal-aligned resistance fighter.

The crash, resulting from Qucrain’s decision to shoot down the shuttle after it violated its airspace and failed to respond to communications, remains a significant aspect of the ongoing investigation. While initial concerns of a deliberate bioweapons attack have not yet been ruled out, experts suggest that such a scenario appears less likely. The ongoing investigation aims to uncover the precise sequence of events leading up to the violation of airspace and the subsequent crash, as well as the identity of the pilot.

Enaluri II State Protectorate Logistics Station Raided

23d December YC 125

In a daring and audacious assault, the Enaluri II State Protectorate Logistics Station fell victim to a brazen attack by a group of ruthless, gun-wielding terrorists. The heart-stopping event unfolded during the early hours of the morning in the Enaluri solar system, plunging the station into chaos as smoke grenades erupted from a menacing shuttle, heralding the onset of a violent firefight.

Shockingly, the station’s security appeared shockingly ill-prepared or utterly caught off guard, as captured by fleeting glimpses of footage that managed to escape before authorities swiftly clamped down, sealing the station in a lockdown. The desperate struggle for control played out vividly on the screen as alarms blared, signaling an unprecedented breach.

Only after an intense standoff, when the Security Forces heroically reclaimed the besieged station, did the authorities break their silence. With a gravity-laden tone, they revealed the shocking truth: the assailants, identified as Triglavian aligned mercenaries, had wreaked havoc in a desperate attempt to liberate a fellow comrade recently incarcerated within the station’s cell block.

The battlefield echoed with gunfire, and the casualties mounted, with all but one of the invaders meeting a well-deserved demise. The authorities, however, remain on high alert, their focus shifting to an ongoing search for any elusive escapees. Disturbingly, evidence suggested that another section of the station had been breached, hinting at a potential inside job to cripple security and surveillance systems.

In a cryptic and tantalizing statement, a spokesperson for the SPL hinted at deeper, unknown layers to the attack but remained tight-lipped, leaving the public hungry for more information. The galaxy remains on the edge of its seat, eagerly anticipating the unfolding saga in the aftermath of the Enaluri II Station raid.

YC125.12.25 // ATHOUNON VI


A grave situation is unfolding in the eastern region of Cieléclat following an attack on an alleged FCG insurgent base. The assault on the compound has led to the detonation of an incendiary weapon stockpile, resulting in a serious wildfire that continues to rage unchecked. Firefighting efforts are in full swing as authorities and emergency responders battle to contain the blaze, which threatens not only the environment but also nearby communities.

Alleged surveillance drone footage from the attack has emerged, depicting individuals believed to be Free Cieléclat Garrison militants starting the fire to the forest. The motive behind these actions appears to be an attempt to create chaos and confusion, potentially as a diversion to facilitate their escape from the area.

In a shocking development, a woman identified as Lieutenant Sentinel Naliana Rouram of the Federal Marines has emerged as a spokesperson for the rebels. In a broadcast that has sent shockwaves through the region, Lieutenant Sentinel Rouram has made a startling admission:

"People of Athounon, my brothers and sisters, hear me now! We, the Free Cieléclat Garrison, have unleashed retribution upon the oppressors of our homeland once more!

Our actions thus far, including attacks on corporate collaborators like Sioux, are a testament to our unwavering and continued resolve. The fires we ignite are a reflection of our unwavering commitment to shatter the chains of corporate tyranny and expose the traitors that aid them!

Our mission reaches far beyond these flames. We condemn the spineless states who betrayed their people with cowardly ceasefires, including Qucrain, for entertaining the idea of bending the knee to these Caldari dogs. We proudly claim responsibility for our actions, including not just the strikes against these corporate leeches but also the plague eating through the Qucrainais cowards!

Let their bloody fate serve as a warning against all who would ever consider turning their back on the Federation! We stand united, unyielding, and indomitable, the future of Athounon belongs to us, not the corporate tyrants who seek to exploit and oppress us!"

In the wake of these admissions, angry citizens have taken to the streets of Qucrain’s capital, violating quarantine orders and expressing outrage at their government’s perceived weakness in dealing with the mutadaptive plague. Several sectors have witnessed violent clashes between protesters and the local gendarmerie, leading to numerous injuries and property damage.

The Qucraines Assembly has reportedly convened in an emergency session to address the implications of the FCG’s admission. The assembly is expected to discuss potential responses to the escalating crisis and the future direction of the state’s relationship with Taayusaka Eskeitan and the other states of Athounon VI.

Meanwhile, Taayusaka Eskeitan has vehemently condemned the FCG as “bloodthirsty deranged terrorists.” They have also extended an offer for assistance to Qucrain once more, despite their ongoing conflict. The corporation’s willingness to assist in the face of this crisis has raised questions about their true motives, with some seeing it as yet another power grab by the Caldari to expand their zone of influence, while others believe that their motives may be more benevolent than initially thought, especially contrasted with the FCG militants.

  • Firefighting operations continue as hundreds of square kilometers immolated

  • Qucraines Healthcare Committee turns to cremations in order to combat spread of ‘Triglavian Plague’

  • Storm Wind Strikeforce hired by Sioux Extraction Systems as attached Taayusaka forces are reallocated to frontline posts

YC126.01.02 // ATHOUNON VI


As YC126 dawns on Athounon VI, a glimmer of hope emerges on the horizon, signaling the possibility of a brighter future for the beleaguered planet. The Vice President of Qucrain, Amélie Proulx, while attending a New Year’s gala in the Taayusaka-occupied city of Châtellerault, joined Taayusaka CEO Remilia Malitia in making a historic announcement; a formal ceasefire agreement has been reached.

The ceasefire officially went into effect at 00:00 NEST on the 2nd of January, marking a significant departure from the prolonged conflict. While the news have been widely welcomed among the population of the besieged state, the details of the Taayusaka-Qucrain treaty remain largely shrouded in mystery at this point.

One immediate focus of the ceasefire agreement is the humanitarian situation in the capital city, which has been under strict quarantine due to the outbreak of the Triglavian plague. In response, Taayusaka has dispatched crisis management teams to Qucrain, along with a shipment of essential medical supplies and equipment intended to aid the struggling healthcare system.

Reports suggest that Taayusaka has also taken on the responsibility of developing a vaccine to combat the Triglavian plague, leveraging the corporation’s considerable resources and expertise in Triglavian mutadaptive technologies.

While the fine details of the Taayusaka-Qucrain treaty remain veiled in secrecy, one troubling aspect of the ceasefire has emerged, reports of significant dissent within Qucrain’s military ranks. Notable numbers of Qucrain’s armed forces have reportedly refused to abide by the ceasefire order, with some outright deserting, many officers pointing out that Vice President Proulx lacks the authority to enter any such treaty without the President’s consent, who has been completely silent about the ongoing situation and has historically been militantly defiant against the corporate occupiers.
