According to witnesses, these words were said by the mercenaries who were patrolling near the docks during that day.
The Hrada-Oki Operation Begins.
âThe commander has collapsed and is unconscious! Make sure to find a replacement commander quickly!â
âThe targets are reported to have undocked.â
âWait what? What the hell is this?â
âLooks like the security measures were useless, we were deployed for nothing.â
âTheyâre really good, or maybe we were fooled by the station authorities.â
âYou should never trust those filthy Thukkers, theyâre criminals at heart.â
âApparently none of our guys were anywhere near the area where the targets undocked.â
âWhat do we do about the commander? Do we know why this happened to him?â
A few hours later, 18:26 New Eden Standard Time.
âApparently the commanderâs brain implants have been hacked.â
âCrap, these kind of attacks are dangerous.â
âIâm sure itâs the fault of those damn pirates.â
âDonât worry guys, heâs immortal so they just have to find a backup of his consciousness and he should be back on his feet.â
A few hours later, 21:54 New Eden Standard Time. The mercenaries and guards have left their posts and the mercenaries who have been present for days have left the station.

After what appears to have been a period of âLaying lowâ after a long streak of violence, the pink-and-white worm has reappeared in the low-security spacelanes of Matari and Amarrian space. Thus far, the pilot âBunny Bunsâ has yet to cause much noteworthy damage outside of a few algos(es?) and single vexor piloted by cartel pilots. What is of note however is the evolution of Bunny Bunâs arsenal as they are reported to be fielding enthralled rogue drones.
Be it though the assistance of Triglavian technology or Guristas âingenuityâ, these twisted machines, combined with the wormâs drone systems make for a devastating dou. Ramping up the combat performance of the worm significantly at the cost of drones that are not so easily replaced. Cheekily, the drones feature crude graffiti such as âIf lost, return to owner.â and then listing contact information.
Raibuyaâs Bunnies, the recently formed cell within the Commando Guri, still remains at a one active personnel on itâs roster. Bunny Buns. This move to incorporate subservient rogue drones could be a play at distinguishing the unit and interesting possible recruits whoâd want to wield the same technology for themselves.
Of course, they would have to conform to flying pink ships if they want to do that.

Akin to an invasive species, Bunny Buns carved in a scar of destruction across the Metropolis warzone yesterday evening. Their new enthralled rogue drones undoubtedly being a contributing factor to their success in battle as they take on everything from sloppy fitted vessels, to properly maintained warships piloted by competent individuals.
Their biggest exploit of the day came in the form of a small-scale Empyrean Edict operation in the Lantorn system. Six Imperial pilots in stealth bombers were bashing the Matari Ihub in system uncontested until a naughty little bunny stumbled across them. Skirting around their formations, the pink-and-white worm probed them for an opening before warping off.
Two minutes passed before the local Lantorn fluid router was greeted by the message ââ â â â it.â by Bunny Buns. Soon followed by the reappearance of their cutesy colored worm who proceeded to throw themselves at the nearest bomber.
Bunny Buns succeeded at taking down not one, or two, but three of the six bombers on the grid. The surviving three bombers cloaked up to evade their mad assailant once they realized the predicament they were in. An Empyrean Edict Omen Navy issue soon landed on grid to provide security and chase off the bandit, who promptly fled the scene unscathed.
Once again, these attacks towards Imperial pilots donât seem like favorability towards the Matari war effort. Rather the actions of a bloodthirsty pirate looking for violence and plunder.
The legend of the pink worm continues to grow in the Guristas.

The rambunctious bunny that has been causing mischief in the Matari warzone has fallen to a drought of bad luck. From seeming like a formidable combatant the week before, Bunny Buns recent records leave much to be desired.
After securing thirty-one separate confirmed kills with a single hull, Bunny Buns are shot down in a crazed attempt of sliding in on a pack of five algoses thinking them to be Fraternity Angels
Shrugging off this failure, Bunny Buns made a pass at another pilot flying a worm in what appeared to have been a case of wanting a matchup in the same hardware. This Dirt nâ Glitter pilot however was flying a much different build than Bunny Buns, with a fitting to compliment a rocket setup, Bunny Buns was defeated in this worm duel and made to reship once again.
Finding their stripe again, Bunny Buns racked up a smaller streak of kills before having yet another worm turned into a pile of twisted scrap metal when they bit off more than they can chew attacking two fraternity pilots who were capable of fighting back. This, however is not the final lose to be reported.
As of today, Bunny Buns was once again shot down by Fraternity when the pilot made a foolish error in warping into a gate that was in the process of being bubbled by Fraternity Angels. Without any remorse, Bunny Buns was swiftly blown asunder by tornados on grid.
Despite the success, Its evident that Bunny Buns is no flawless ace and is prone to foolhardy decision making. Maybe thatâs suitable for a Gurista.

Vox Libertas â The Peacekeepers Bulletin
Libertyâs Light our Guide
Federation Peacekeepers Delegation Arrives at District Parliament:
A delegation from the Federation Peacekeepers has arrived at the Serthoulde District Parliament to meet with Parliamentarians at a closed session of the District Parliament Security Committee, in response to recent demands made by protesters in the wake of the vote by Serthoulde District governors to avoid imposing formal sanctions against Taayusaka Eskeitan.
Federation Peacekeepers Prime Executive Commander Edward Adams was seen leaving the Parliament complex after several hours, accompanied by fellow Peacekeeper officials. Vox Libertas reporters were able to speak with the Commander regarding what was discussed at the secretive meeting.
âWhilst I cannot disclose the particulars of our engagement with the District Parliament in precise detail, for reasons of national security of course, I would wish to reassure those that are concerned about State involvement in the Serthoulde Federal District that we are making every effort to counter their encroachment upon the life and liberty of the people through every means available to us.â
When asked about the recent Taayusaka Eskeitan public statement that included some aspersions made against him, Commander Adams responded with a hearty chuckle, dismissively referring to them as âNothing but irrelevant personal attacks carried out by the enemy, in a feeble attempt to divert attention away from their own illegal actions throughout the last two years.â
Following the successful conclusion of Operation Dawnâs Early Light, which saw the total liberation of the Serthoulde Federal District, the Office of Public Relations for the Federation Peacekeepers has confirmed to Vox Libertas that an enduring deployment to Serthoulde has been authorised on a permanent basis by the Peacekeepers Council. Whilst a formal commitment to bidding for any part of the Shipping and Security Franchise does not appear to be a future goal of the Peacekeepers, it does reflect a more formal commitment to what is now a more volatile sector of the Federal Defence Cordon, due to itâs direct connection with the Corporate State region of Black Rise.
War Crimes Special Investigations Unit established in Serthoulde:
Following the total liberation of the Serthoulde Federal District, proposals for a war crimes investigations unit have been raised by representatives of the Federation Peacekeepers in concert with aggrieved delegates of member states at the forefront of the Corporate Stateâs offensive actions.
After consulting with delegations from several member states of Alparena, investigators from the Federation Marshals Service, and activists from all over the District, the Federation Peacekeepers has announced the formation of an extraordinary commission to investigate allegations of violations of the laws of war, Federal and CONCORD statutes. Itâs mandate also empowers the Unit to investigate and potentially arrest those deemed to have enabled criminal acts as accessories or collaborators.
Unit Investigators have already been sighted in Alparena, seeking to collect eyewitness testimony and recover physical evidence as part of preliminary investigations into the conduct of Taayusaka Eskeitan Corporate Security forces that carried out an extended incursion under the auspices of an âanti-smuggling operationâ targeting alleged criminal enterprises. Investigators have promised anonymity to those that are willing to share their experiences during the year-long State occupation of the District, citing possible reprisals from State loyalists.

After suffering a few too many bad ruts in the Matari/Amarr warzone, Bunny Buns appear to have returned to their ânaturalâ habitat.
Fighting alongside conventional Guristas forces raiding ORE assets, a worm in pink-and-white camo can occasionally be spotted in formation. Seemingly more focused on objectives than action, Bunny Buns has taken a more âpassiveâ stance as they assist in the ongoing operations.
This isnât to say Bunny Buns hasnât gotten into any scraps⌠Finding better luck than their previous excursions harassing the Angel Cartel, Bunny Buns has managed to successfully shoot down State and Federal pilots numerous times during a raid. Ensuring Guristas forces had a smoother process in securing any and all loot in these ORE outposts.
Rumors persist of even a few stalemate between Bunny Buns and local militia pilots. Like pushing a sniper cormorant off their site with drones. Or just barely fending off a lone pilot of a Daredevil in a agreed upon duel in orbit of Hikkoken I. Without there being any logged kills or losses, these fights are hearsay and tales shared between drunk Gurista.
These performances in front of the rank-and-file serve as an exceptional means to promote Raibuyaâs Bunnies as a competent enough combat unit. Some Gurista even citing that the Pink camo is a welcomed sight when it slides in to help. Despite this, Raibuyaâs Bunnies still remains at one active personal. With most Gurista welcoming the support, but not wishing to sign on with the newborn unit.
As a sidenote. Talk of a router channel called âThe Down Lowâ has begun being referenced as a platform Bunny Buns frequents. Along with other Capsuleers of suspicious backgrounds and activities. While the comms channels is open, there are some vague rules about no âOpsâ being allowed.

Stability Prevails Despite Increased Federal Activity in Athounon VI
Despite initial concerns that the recent Federal counteroffensive might ignite new conflict on Athounon VI, the situation has remained largely peaceful. While isolated orbital skirmishes have been reported, primarily attempted intrusions by pirates and Federation-aligned pilots who have attempted supply drops to known terrorist groups like the Torchbearers of Liberty. The UCPF reports a 100% success rate in intercepting these efforts to date, with all tagged targets interdicted or neutralized before landing since the completion and activation of the defense network.
State forces maintain control over large portions of the system despite the Federal forcesâ occupation of the system infrastructure hub, establishing their strategic dominance with supercapital naval assets positioned at critical locations, most importantly the stargate linking to Samanuni, which continues to serve as their primary ingress point, bolstering both military and logistical support for the Stateâs presence in the area.
On Athounon VI operations have remained largely unaffected. CAPA officials have issued a cautious travel advisory for extraplanetary transit due to the increase in hostilities in space, but ground activities continue without disruption.
Development Accelerates in Belletere and Bellevigne Exclusion Zone
In the wake of Belletereâs induction into CAPA as a full Taayusaka client, the long-struggling state has seen a number of significant improvements. Taayusakaâs infrastructure modernization project is rapidly bringing Belletere up to the standards of neighboring CAPA territories, a welcome change that has revitalized the local economy, restored commerce, and injected life into the job market. Independent polls reflect widespread local approval of these changes, which have largely alleviated initial skepticism and fears of foreign corporate exploitation. Security reinforcements and economic recovery have allayed many concerns that critics had raised about Taayusakaâs involvement.
Meanwhile, decontamination and cleanup of the Bellevigne Exclusion Zone is progressing rapidly. Corporate contractors working on the ground have reportedly been bolstered by the deployment of specialized drone swarms to expedite decontamination, completing the removal of irradiated wreckage ahead of schedule. Most contaminated materials have been shipped off-world, with remaining surface scouring expected to finish within weeks. Initial scans already reveal a significant reduction in harmful radiation levels, particularly around former blast zones and areas where destroyed urban infrastructure has been cleared.

Serthoulde District Parliament Forms Accountability Commission Amid Taayusaka Protests
In response to a wave of objections raised by Athounon representatives, the Serthoulde District parliament has created a new committee, the Commission for Military and Humanitarian Accountability (CMHA), to investigate and oversee alleged war crimes and human rights issues, especially those recently leveled against Taayusaka Eskeitan. This decision comes after heated debate surrounding the âWar Crimes Special Investigations Unitâ, a body recently formed by Nadire Security Consultants to examine the corporationâs recent operations in Alparena and beyond. Taayusaka has sharply criticized the unit, arguing it was both biased and intentionally circumvented local jurisdiction.
Athounon representatives echoed the strong opposition, denouncing NADSCâs unit as an âintrusive and partialâ entity. Alparena representatives, on the other hand, stood nigh-unanimously in support, advocating for the investigation into Taayusakaâs operations to continue by the unit. The division has sparked a wider debate on the legitimacy of external oversight within the Federationâs sub-districts, with Mantenault and Odamiaâs representatives leading the push for a more balanced, locally accountable body to conduct impartial inquiries. After a round of deliberations, the CMHA was established to address the polarized issue of investigative oversight, as well as to improve transparency within the sub-districts.
The newly founded CMHA, directly accountable to the parliament, will soon appoint members, with expectations that it will become a key institution for district-wide investigations. Representatives hope that the commissionâs formation will lead to impartial assessments of corporate actions and humanitarian conduct across Serthoulde, regardless of regional or corporate loyalties.
Torchbearers of Liberty Escalate Violence on Reschard II Amid Rising Crime Wave
A surge in violent crime has struck Reschard II, with local authorities reporting an uptick in extremist activity linked to the militant group known as âTorchbearers of Libertyâ. The groupâs latest high-profile act includes the assassination of Corineux Mining Solutions CFO Armand Fournier, who was reportedly killed by sniper fire outside the corporationâs regional offices in the city of Vaujeard.
The assassination marks the most visible act of violence to date in a growing wave of attacks that the Torchbearers have claimed responsibility for, including bombings and targeted assaults on corporate and government facilities across the planet. The group, known for its radical anti-corporate rhetoric and advocacy for âindependence through forceâ has gained traction among disaffected residents across the district, outgrowing its roots as a partisan force from Athounon VI.
Reschardâs Governorâs Office has released a statement condemning the groupâs actions and pledging enhanced security measures to prevent further violence. However, local law enforcement remains strained by the complexity of the groupâs tactics and their use of remarkably sophisticated equipment for an organization of their kind, with reports suggesting that authorities are stretched thin trying to track cells that move fluidly between urban centers and remote rural zones. Security experts warn that unless the Federation can quickly address underlying economic grievances and security issues brought on by the reignition of CEMWPA-related fighting in the district, the torchbearersâ influence is likely to grow, potentially further destabilizing Reschard II.

The rambunctious adventures of Bunny Buns and their pink worm continue to this day. While their recent intensity could be considered tame compared to previous activities, theyâre nonetheless still actively lurking in the shadows of the civilized cluster.
Rapidly switching between warzones on a whim, Bunny Buns could be raiding ORE assets one second, to strangling Angel pilots the next. What looked like targeted harassment before, appears to just be the pilot deciding if they want to seek out business or pleasure. The former to secure more Guristas technology, and the latter to use it.
Recent losses include getting snuffed out in a surprise â2-on-1â fight against Cartel pilots. Slaying one of them only to be jumped unexpectedly by their wingman who came too late to help. Next, from biting off more than they can chew and attacking a well equipped and piloted algos. Then most amusingly, being rubbed out by CONCORD after foolishly forgetting the police still respond to capsule aggression in corrupted high-security systems.
Between these failures, there is still a modest amount of success against other pilots. As of reporting, Bunny Buns sits as the 34th All-time pilot with the most confirmed kills with the Worm hull. While records further up start become more daunting, Bunny Buns appears to welcome the challenge and strive to be recognized as one of the best Worm pilots in both New Eden, and the Guristas.
That isnât to say theyâve not welcomed others to fly the same ship as him, before it was rumored they were selling cheap hulls on the markets in Zarzakh. Now? Bunny Buns has several contract listings in the system for fully fitted and armed worms mirroring his own configuration. Passionately making attempts to get other Commando Guri pilots to embrace the ship to be efficient and deadly in active insurgencies. Not shying away from even sharing any and all knowledge theyâve accumulated flying them, and what to expect in certain matchups.

EXPERT INTERVENTION REQUESTS COOPERATION WITH CORINEUX MINING SOLUTIONS
Expert Intervention has filed a request with Corineux Mining Solutions urging the immediate disclosure of internal communications regarding the assassination of CFO Armand Fournier and access to the Corineux administrative campus in the city of Vaujeard. Citing a previous cold case investigated as part of a joint operation with Internal Security and the Republic Security Services, Expert Intervention claims to have discovered multiple âheuristic footprintsâ flagged by their predictive algorithm that may link âOBJECTIVE BACKWASHâ with the Torchbearers of Liberty extremist group.
First identified last year during a series of attacks on the Eugidi and Pegeler constellations, Expert Intervention has profiled âOBJECTIVE BACKWASHâ as a âprofessional dissidentâ that has infiltrated various underground terrorist networks across the cluster. According to the request, BACKWASH frequently insinuates themselves into disparate militant groups by leveraging their experience as a specialist in asymmetric warfare and psychological operations. Though Expert Intervention lacks a âsmoking gunâ to prove the presence of BACKWASH in the region, they claim to have probable cause based on certain âthreat patternsâ matching activity carried out in the lead-up to terrorist attacks by BACKWASH on Krusual Tribal Holdings.
âWeâre keeping our cards close to our chest,â said Expert Intervention analyst Iwasada Akabata, âAt the same time we have a critical moment to act now, before it gets out of control. But that requires cutting through some jurisdictional red tape, and we hope going public with some of the details will light a fire under Corineux to come forward and cooperate with our investigation. We have enough signals intelligence that we know that some external force is in play here. Where thereâs smoke thereâs fire, and where we see this sort of ideological radicalization in a short period of time, targeted attacks against corporate executives, and a dramatic increase in organization and training among previously rag-tag militia groups we can infer the presence of a professional agent-provocateur. Since the attacks on Eugidi and Pegeler, BACKWASH seems to have found a new role as a sort of Modern Finances angel-investor for political extremism. Whether or not this is for any specific goal, or simply the Torchbearers of Liberty commissioning equipment and training from an experienced consultant remains to be seen-- Either way we can expect these attacks to continue to escalate in the near-term.â
Expert Intervention has filed a separate request to Rapid Assembly seeking blueprint licensing information following the discovery of multiple unregistered RA weapons systems manufactured in Saiso inbound to Serthoulde. Rapid Assembly has denied the request outright, accusing Expert Intervention of unlawfully implicating them in the investigation of a third-party while denying any responsibility for the mishandling of Rapid Assembly intellectual property once it had been legally traded. Additional requests were filed to the Seituoda Taskforce Command for information on the sale of surplus military torso-rig augmentations and biomass previously charged to the State Peacekeepers as expensed in the line of duty while fulfilling defense contracts against Guristas insurgencies.

Torchbearers of Liberty Escalate Attacks on Reschard II as Negotiations with Expert Intervention Stall
The extremist group Torchbearers of Liberty continues to launch high-profile attacks against government and corporate entities on Reschard II, intensifying their insurgency and spreading fear across the planet.
The militant group has claimed responsibility for a number of attacks over the past few days, such as a devastating strike on the Regional Commerce Bureauâs Treasury in Lafosse, where the Torchbearers detonated an explosive device during peak working hours, causing multiple casualties and significant structural damage. Shortly after, they claimed responsibility for a deadly ambush on a convoy transporting a local council member, citing the officialâs alleged âcomplicityâ with authoritarian policies as their justification. In Vaujeard, the group also sabotaged power lines connected to the SableStar Refining Complex, cutting energy access to a major refinery and halting production for days, while a concurrent raid on a Federal Garrison depot resulted in a yet undisclosed number of supplies being stolen.
Despite mounting concerns, Reschard IIâs government has resisted recent attempts by Expert Intervention to investigate and address the crisis or bolster local defenses. Officials expressed unease over foreign, Caldari-aligned involvement, stating that they were exploring alternative measures to bring the situation under control.
New Accountability Commission Begins Inquiry into Taayusakaâs Operations Amid Protests from Alparena
The recently established Commission for Military and Humanitarian Accountability has begun operations following the appointment of its members from the district parliament. Tasked with investigating the conduct of corporate and military entities operating within the district, the Commission is expected to address rising concerns around Taayusakaâs activities on the Athounon and Alparena systems. Commission detachments have already been dispatched to both locations, where inquiries will examine operations spanning the past year.
The formation of the Commission, seen as a bid for impartiality, has been met with cautious optimism from both Federal and local officials. However, a growing number of representatives from Alparena have voiced their dissatisfaction with what they describe as a âdisproportionate exclusionâ from the Commissionâs appointments. Jean Bellevaux, governor of Alparena, has been a vocal critic of Taayusakaâs recent actions and has criticized the makeup of the new Commission, arguing that the districtâs most affected sub-district has received minimal representation.
âThis is a glaring imbalance in a Commission meant to address injustices across our systems,â Bellevaux stated, calling for a recalibration of the appointments to âaccurately reflect the populations affected by recent corporate activities.â He emphasized that Alparenaâs experience with Taayusakaâs military intervention should afford its representatives a greater voice in the investigations and decisions of the Commission.
Despite these protests, the Commission has pressed ahead with its investigative itinerary, focusing on Taayusakaâs law enforcement operations on Alparena III and its contractual relationships with client states on Athounon alongside the preceding conflicts between CorpSec forces and Federal forces. The Commissionâs mandate includes reviewing evidence of alleged misconduct, environmental impact assessments, and civilian testimony. Initial reviews are anticipated within weeks, with hearings expected to continue into the following quarter.
The Commissionâs chair, Samantha Valmont, acknowledged the concerns from Alparena but reaffirmed her commitment to objectivity. âOur mission is to serve the district as a whole and bring clarity to actions that affect us all.â Valmont said. âWhile we recognize the importance of Alparenaâs experiences, our goal remains to conduct a fair and balanced inquiry.â

The pink-and-white worm continues to become an increasingly difficult legend to ignore in the Guristas Pirates (And Angel Cartel). The Bleak Lands became witness to another bloodthirsty rampage all too familiar to the region as Bunny Buns carved a one-man warpath up and down the region. Slaughtering any Angels, Amarrians, Matari or neutrals that were unfortunate enough to be ensnared in the Guristaâs ruthless grip.
Wrecks were plundered, and their pilots executed if their capsule was late on the warp. The corpses of Bunny Bunsâ victims were left floating in space alongside whatever âjunkâ not worth the broker fees. CONCORD security clearance clocks Bunny Buns in at a flat -10.000, denouncing him as a menace to the civilized world and wanted man in all jurisdictions. A status the pilot seems to take pride in, similar to his compatriots in Stay Frosty.
A recent feat in their piracy is the destruction of a 5-man squadron of Malakim Zealots piloting condors. Sliding in on them hoping to grab at least one, the condors stood their ground, only for each of them to crumble one-by-one under the firepower of Bunny Bunsâ worm. After the last condor fell, Bunny Buns screamed triumphantly in local comms like a madman, declaring that he âWanted all that smoke.â
Through all this destruction, Bunny Buns faced three failures of their own. Firstly starting with a common mistake the Gurista keeps making, Lunging at a vulnerable ship who had a combat recon lying in wait for him. At least this time he managed to swallow the bait before being gutted. Further down their path of carnage they met another end after falling to jump a lone Fraternity vexor as a response force showed up to chase the Bunny off. Feeling confident, they took a fight with a crow only to be out maneuvered and pounced on by the retaliating Fraternity pilots in system. Lastly, after a streak of 24 ships being obliterated by the lone Gurista, their rampage met a humble ending at the hands of a lone Matari warrior piloting a Comet.
If past reports have shown anything, itâs that Bunny Buns will be back. Regardless of how many ships they lose. This recent stint of violence has shown a man losing their sanity with each kill they notch. Striving to cause more mayhem and death each time they undock.

Numerous stations across The Bleak Lands, Metopolis and Heimatar regions were paid a visits by a single crane named âShy Tsuchinokoâ who left as fast as they docked. With shipping containers prepped well in advanced, they were loaded into the craneâs cargo bay and waved off the moment the bay doors closed shut.
These suspicious hand-offs were met with investigation by station security forces who uncovered manifests listing various ship modules. From damage control units, Propulsion units, and high-powered weaponry. All of which were held under fraudulent aliases linking back to a single Capsuleer with connections to the Guristas Pirates. These shipments were scattered caches of ship modules and munitions that were plundered in the chaos of several insurgencies waged by the Angel Cartel. Only now after the Angels schemed their next deployment did the Gurista act on recovering all the loot. Parties involved with assisting this criminal profiteer that were sloppy with covering their tracks, were swiftly rounded up and arrested by their respective police force on their station.
As for the crane? They were last spotted making way towards the ancient Jovian stargate leading to Zarzakh. Vanishing into the piratical hellhole and to âSafetyâ within the Fulcrum. As a means to brag, the pilot leaked the final collection of their ill-gotten goods to the Guristas Pirates. Already majoirty of the cargo has found its way onto the open market of the Fulcrum, with certain items put aside for the pilotâs own use.

âIndeed, itâs not much but itâs still better than nothing. By the way, I assume you have heard that some capsuleers have obtained the Circleâs new ships, the Tholos and the Cenotaph.â
âYes, the power of these ships and their shrikers is⌠very worrying. With them they could easily ravage our republic.â
âI will try to do what I can to obtain data on them, blueprints, or even their new weapons or clones.â
âThat would be a good thing.â
âI think there may be more to the Warden than just new ships, weapons and clones. Why else would the Drifters have tried to siege Zarzakh to gain access to it? In any case, this structure and the technologies within it are probably going to be more important than we think. Between that and the fact that theyâre starting to recruit Upwellâs worker clones, perhaps we should start to be even more worried about the future.â
âIâm starting to think you enjoy scaring people with your theories sir.â
âI canât help it if every action the Circle takes causes a new calamity. Iâve also obtained some Angel data that could be useful by the way.â
âI see. Thanks for stopping by Commander.â

Rumors of warclone deployments in the Venal region are emerging. Deployed across six different worlds in the ST-0EZ constellation to Capsuleer owned facilities that can be traced to the Gurista known as âBunny Bunsâ. These warclones are neither Guristas or Deathless, but rather under the banner of the Cthonic Hecataea. A clan affiliated with the independent warclone union Bosea Accords.
These deployments are a defensive one, with the Cthonic forces being installed as the newest security force for these facilities to ward off potential threats. Four worlds are dedicated resource extractor colonies, while the other two are assembly complexes churning out a short list of goods. From viral agents, test cultures, nanites, and supertensile plastics. At a glance this list seems alarming in what this Gurista could be plotting with such materials⌠But when taken into account all of these materials are essential in manufacturing the advanced components found in pirate ships? Itâs a safe assumption all of this industry amounts to is the pilot becoming even more self-sufficient in keeping themselves supplied with worm hulls.
Itâs suggested the security contract was negotiated not with money, but rather a lump sum of encrypted Upwell infomorphs unlawfully acquired through the use of the Deathlessâ new mercenary dens. Opting out employing Gurista or Deathless forces suggests Bunny Buns is being cautious about giving the keys over to âtrustedâ intuitions in the criminal underworld. Opting in for a third party unaffiliated with neither organization.

Colony in Klogori IV ceased to respond
Klogori, Metropolis - The insurgencies in CEMWPA systems are still continuing to devastate the regions as the militias are focusing their efforts against their rivals instead the terrorists. Recent news show how this has brought to the shut down of many colonies on the affected planets, last one comes from Klogori, where the last colony of the northern region ceased to respond. Probably all remained civilians have been exterminated or starved to death after another Guri-Malakim incursion which certanly cut off the supplies and power for the outpost. The area is still unoperable so the exact number of victims, men, women, children⌠blocked there is still unknown. Similar news come from Orfrold II, Iwisoda IV, Hadozeko VII and Egmar X.
Mysterious transmissions spread around the planet channels
Yulai. Genesis - there are reports about strange transmissions that can be received on planetside communications in the CEMWPA systems. Most of them comes from the most affected areas of the battlefield. They consist of numerous orders, plans, directives, all signed and sent to an entity known as âNobodyâ. Nothing is known about it; another threat as consequence of the insurgencies? Or some secret agencies sent from the empires to monitor the situation? Considering how they can be called, they could be one of the responsible to incite the aggression against the Hrada-Oki convoy, as the same planetside channels spammed the message âNobody sent its regards.â at the moment of the attack, as they pretend to claim it. Meanwhile, the petition about a direct CONCORD response (which someone is suspecting they can have a relation with âNobodyâ) has almost reached 4 bilions signs, most of them comes from the CEMWPA systems and they can be now victims of the insurgencies. According some independent statistics agency, 45,2% of the individuals who signed the petition died.
