Archavoinet Archive: After Extensive Contract Bidding UPA Appoints New Security Franchise, Declares System of Interest
Over the past month, the Unified Principality of Archavoinet has held its tendering process for bids for a new Security Franchise, after confirming it would not be renewing its contract with Geoffon Security Consortium. The bids were some of the most intense seen for the franchise to date, having surpassed even Geoffon’s original bid into the Security Franchise 15 years ago for its first contract.

The tendering process was officially closed earlier this morning, and the UPA has declared that the franchise will be jointly awarded to Windstalker Security Corp and Purosupekuta Resourcing Auxiliary-Navy, capsuleer run firms both with ties to the United Neopian Federation, an independent faction outside of the Gallente Federation.

The details of the joint franchise and how it will operate are currently sparse, however the changeover coincides with the announcement of the neighbouring unincorporated system of Eugales being declared a System of Interest to the UPA, with documents put forward to the Pegeler District Court to have the claim legally notarized, and registered.

“Whoa. Whoa, whoa, what?”

“You’re seeing it to, then?”

“Yeah. Sama locked itself down tighter than a bad day in Jita. Nothing in or out.”

“Gates are still up. Local contingent is still reporting in.”

“Navy’s stopped talking to anyone. S-XI-CNW, or S-VIII-CCLS. Shop’s closed. They’ve just shut down everything. Adjacent systems, too. Nobody’s talking.”

“Must not be taking any chances. That’s got to be, what? All his favors burned up? He’s trying too hard to keep us out.”

“Must not just be us if he’s trying this hard. Speaking of which, have we got anything?”

“Just rumors of an agreement, further talk. Not much else, had to grapevine it, and those vines shriveled awfully quickly. I don’t see what they could mean. Bugs got squashed, too. Cracking down.”

“…where’s the mouse?”

“She’s still in XI-CNW. Accident?”

“Coincidence.”

“Right. I’ll keep my ears open, then. But if they’re not accepting visitors…”

“Knock on the sky, listen to the sound. Something will turn up.”

News agencies report that dense population areas of Flosewin IV have been blanketed with tri-fold pamphlets over the last several days.

Rumors have begun circulating both on GalNet resources and via word of mouth in Mikramurka that Tiama Ramijozana, clan chief of Clan Ramijozana, is planning to ask Sebiestor Tribal Chief Acassa Midular, at the upcoming tribal meeting, to present a censure to the Tribal Council regarding the failure of Sanmatar Maleatu Shakor and his Matar Planetary Security to properly secure the Sundsele Six and present them for rightful justice among their peers in the Sebiestor Tribe.

A censure is non-binding and requires no action on the part of the censured parties. It is generally meant as an official rebuke.

The rumors appear to have originated from within Clan Ramijozana itself, specifically with capsuleer and cadet chief Melisma Ramijozana. However, Ms. Ramijozana appears to still be “on vacation”; her whereabouts are unknown and no official statement appears to be forthcoming.

“Dozen new transports docked today. A lot of movement on Deck 3.”

“New material?”

“No. I was able to get a peek before I got pushed out. A lot of stuff leaving Hangar 2”

“We really shouldn’t be talking about this.”

“Arn’t you a least bit curious?”

"Look, I am getting a very, very hefty paycheck every week to not ask any questions. I’d like to keep it that way. "

"Whatever man. I’ll figure it out on my own. "

Transtellar Shipping and Material Acquisitions Downscaling Footprint in Pegeler
Archavoinet-In a recent press release, Transtellar Shipping, and Material Acquisitions have announced a downscaling in their activity footprints in the Pegeler district, while this is not expected to majorly affect most memberstates within the district, it is notable that part of the stated actions that will be undertaken is conclusion of Shipping and Astromining Franchise contracts in two systems, Archavoinet, and Frarie.

While Transtellar Shipping has yet to release further specifics and reasons for their downscale and contract conclusions, Material Acquisitions has been more forthcoming, citing diminishing returns on resource extraction, and unfavorable conditions caused by capsuleer pirates interdicting their operations across the district. While they have confirmed that mining operations will continue, it will be in a much reduced state compared to its previous level of muster.

Speculations abound as to who may take over the Shipping and Astromining Franchises once the contracts are concluded by the respective parties, with some looking to FedMart as a strong candidate for claiming both Shipping Franchises in Archavoinet and Frarie.

Sendaya V - Concord Bureau

In the early hours of NEST, a body of a female Deteis was found outside Concord offices on Sendaya V. Her throat had been cut and there were signs of torture on the body. Identification is pending, but the victim was not a capsuleer.

Whether or not this is tied to a previous incident of a body being deposited outside another Concord Office is unknown, but being investigated by officials.

More information will be released as it becomes available.

Rhiannon comments on the Sundsele situation - exclusive!
(Heritage, Sundsele, Mikramurka, YC121.11.17)

The clan Rhiannon has continued to reel under the succession storm brought on by Chief Mira’s sudden demise in the Deathglow attacks. Young Aeron, while no doubt well-trained and well-liked among the locals, has not been received universally with confidence by the clan’s executives. Heritage has it from reliable sources that drafts for separation of Rhiannon Legal from Shaninn Investment Co. along family lines inside the clan have already been on the table, before being rejected by the young Chief and his birth-mother Jonis, representing the Legal, alike.

Chief Aeron is to face another challenge soon, for according to published list of names, he will himself represent the clan in the upcoming Chief’s Acassa Midular’s meeting of local clans. This has caused some concern, and a last-minute replacement might still happen, for the Chief is extraordinarily young for such a venerable assembly.

Heritage has had the extraordinary and delight to talk to Chief Aeron personally, in a first personal interview to a social news outlet for two generations. Connecting with us from the Rhiannon Spire on a holovid connection, Chief Aeron is a beautiful young man, living up to his heartland blood and spirit both in manner and in appearance. He assured Heritage that Rhiannon is weathering this storm just like it has weathered all storms since the start of the Great Rebellion, and before.

“The clan has had legitimate concerns about my experience,” Aeron says humbly, “but I am glad to be able to tell you that they have mostly passed. Clan structure remains on the most part intact, apart from the fact that Aunt Mira had a more direct hand in running Legal than I have aspirations to.”

Asked about the upcoming meeting with Chief Midular, Aeron had this to say: “Rhiannon wishes only for stabilization of the region after the devastation of the Deathglow, and to run our business uninterrupted. There has been a growing concern about harassment of legitimate tribal businesses based on inter-tribal political issues that should not concern a Sebiestor city. Rhiannon has no interest in such troubles.” Asked about his mother’s involvement in said issues, the Chief only added, “Elsebeth Shaninn does not speak for the clan”, and refused to comment further.

Moving on to matters of more interest to the core audience of Heritage, Chief Rhiannon blushed handsomely but also refused to comment on the rumors of marriage plans between himself and cadet chief Linia of Haran.

[Arsia_Elkin]

The following short article was recently found in a Domain-based nobility gossip tabloid.

DAM-TORSAD – Lady Leona Cordelia Elkin returned to her holdings in the Imperial city late last week following a formal audience request from her granddaughter, Arsia Victoria Elkin. The audience was granted and took place Saturday morning and about three hours after it had begun, Arsia Victoria was spotted leaving her grandmother’s court, looking upset.

An anonymous source in the household says that tensions have been very high and worsening by the week since the terrorist firebombing the estate suffered back in May, with some attributing the attack to Arsia Victoria’s public outspokenness. It’s speculated that one of the key reasons for the tension is the death of Xavier Clarence Elkin, who was the eldest son of Satasia Augusta Elkin, placing Arsia Victoria in the succession line. Our source even claims that Lady Leona Cordelia has been heard to use the phrase “immortal and unqualified” in reference to Arsia Victoria, who happens to be a capsuleer trained by the Royal Institute. This audience came after Arsia Victoria once again turned heads by resigning from the Excubitoris Chapter of the Order of the Sacred Throne after igniting a fierce debate on corruption in the 24th Imperial Crusade on the Intergalactic Summit and signing a petition to the Throne penned by the Amarr loyalist alliance Khimi Harar expressing disagreement with an announcement of Lord Arrach Sarum commissioning a full reclaiming of the planet of Floseswin IV.

Many Amarr on Galnet have begun to question Arsia Victoria and her motives, but despite the timing of her resignation and her signature on the Khimi Harar petition, many others think that her seven and a half years served in the Crusade, her strong combat record, and her history in defending the Empire at home combined with her youthful impulsiveness imply that the appearance of gross dissension is likely a misunderstanding. The fact that she has seemingly spent most of her time in the past few weeks associating with the aforementioned Amarr loyalist group Khimi Harar and staying in their Tanoo Fortizar, Tebu Amkihman, is also commonly being cited as evidence that Arsia Victoria’s departure isn’t indicative of anything especially troubling, but detractors say that continued association is meaningless, as many members of Khimi Harar have known to associate with questionable individuals in accordance with their policy of ‘Reclaiming by the Word.’ In any event, with Arsia Victoria having said very little publicly about her departure from the Excubitoris Chapter, widespread speculation as to her motives is likely to continue.

Lady Leona Cordelia Elkin, Satasia Augusta Elkin, and Arsia Victoria Elkin were all contacted and each declined to comment.

Jan VI - Moon 21 - CONCORD Academy

A third body has been left at a CONCORD station in nearly as many days. This time, scrambled security footage revealed a cloaked figure fleeing the scene.

The most recent female deceased, left at Sendaya V - Concord Bureau, has been identified as Sirifeh Momia, an Amarrian, who is loosely connected to House Tash-Murkon through a second cousin. Interviews with family revealed she disappeared some years ago, cropping up in some criminal circles.

One character witness stated she had recently been involved in illegal sex slave trafficking.

Investigations are ongoing.

“Hey, you heard that the old dive off Dock 13 got bought out?”

“You’re joking right? That place? Was great for a drink after long shifts but who the hell would be crazy enough to buy it?”

“Remember that egger that came through recently, the one with those frackin’ ears and tail grafted on her and loaded up on cyberware.”

“Her? She bought that shithole?!”

“Yeah, she did. Apparently put a lot of money into renno and brought her own security to boot. Bosses are antsy about it but, seems that the business she’s bringing is good, lot more eggers passing money through.”

Transcript of a recording found in security logs of the Wailing Raven Bar, Jita 4-4.

Figure 1: “Honestly working on those mining ships is as dull as it gets, plus my captains just the most tedious pencil pusher in the galaxy.”

Figure 2 “Honestly I hear you, I doubt I could manage it for that long. My captains…kinda strange.”

Figure 1: “Oh? do tell.”

Figure2: “Well, she’s a capsuleer, but she’s really careful about who crews her ships. Me and most of the people I know aren’t allowed anywhere near most them. We’re only allowed on the stuff she brings into Highsec, and never any combat missions. I’ve never spoken to the crews she does bring with her. I think they’re mostly Caldari but theirs a ton of Minmattar and Gallente as well, couldn’t say for sure though. What’s weird is when I tried to look into her, see if I could find out a reason for this kinda thing. But their was nothing past a few years ago, State citizen ID and education records where all their, but no galnet presence, no employment record, no family. Nothing. Untill she just appears like she’d always been their.”

Figure 1: “What are you suggesting?”

Figure 2: " I have no idea, it’s just strange. The other thing is though. One of my crewmates was also looking into her. He found this old bounty for some guy who had been working with the Guristas to ship supplies to those Brothers Of Freedom guys. He’d be about the same age as her, and they do look similar. But the weird thing is that after the uprising went to ■■■■ he just vanished without a trace. Police couldn’t find a trace of him, home completely abandoned. A few months later she pops up out of no where as if nothing happened."

Figure 1: “Come on, that’s insane, what, are you thinking they’re the same person or some ■■■■?”

Figure 2: I “don’t know man, but it’s weird.”

State Police later launched an investigation into this upon recieving the recording. The second figure and crewmate mention where reportedly fired by the Capsuleer in question and have not been seen since. The Investigation was suspended indefinetely due to lack of intelligence.

[Melisma_Ramijozana]

Recent visitors to the Tebu Amkhiman in Tanoo may have noticed a smattering of symbolic art drawn crudely on the walls along some of the corridors.

Easily dismissible as “graffiti”, these symbols are in fact derived from Sebiestor symbology. Most of them have appeared in the commercial district, in particular across from the retail space rented by Corovid Industries, but a few have also shown up in the residential district—all confined to the Heideran Deck—and near The Ocean Blue Coffee House.

The symbols are hand-painted with brown or dark red heavy paint, although the paint is quite easy to remove and seems to have been designed specifically for use in stations.

Those who are familiar with Sebiestor symbolism and how it ties into spirituality can spot a common theme among the paintings, which is love. They seem to depict a profound happiness and fulfillment, with the ones in the residential district additionally describing wishes for a future with someone (who is also described in glowing “terms”) and celebrating triumphs over the past.

The ones near the coffee house refer to an “adopted Circle”, perhaps better translated as a chosen family, and appears to refer to the staff of the coffee house, the alliance that runs the Tebu, and/or both. They are all drawn with a free, careening hand, suggesting that the artist was in a state of ecstasy.

Security footage—and potentially first-hand witnessing—would show most of these paintings being drawn at midday, with a handful of the residential ones occurring in the very early morning hours. The artist is quite clearly Melisma Ramijozana. The young woman skips around the corridors and gesticulates in sweeping motions as she paints, and sometimes performs tribe and clan dances before, during, or after her work. She can also be heard vocalizing or throat-singing. For the midday ones, she sometimes appears to be under the influence of mind-altering substances. Each occurrence lasts only a minute or two, though, before she spirits herself away.

Oftentimes her next visit to her latest artwork is incidental and she seems mildly shocked to see the symbols drawn by her hand, and walks off very quickly.

Conspiracy uncovered in Hueromont: Zhelan Conglomerate involved with the ongoing gang wars and Guristas connections uncovered

Earlier today Mizhir Devara’s security forces, the Rej’Naska, turned over the Zhelan brothers, Wen and Gao, to the Hueromont Police Department alongside with evidence suggesting their involvement with the ongoing gang wars in Old Hueromont as well as possible involvement with the Guristas Pirates. This reveals a private investigation that Mizhir Devara has run against the business moguls, including a kidnapping of Wen Zheland and an assault against an unregistered station in the Syndicate. While the investigation may lead to arrest of high-profile backers of the gang wars, many politicians have already condemned the methods used and called them ruthless and ‘not in the spirit of the Federation’. Mizhir Devara has not commented on this criticism.

Not much is known about the evidence that has bene handed over, but a leak says that the Zhelan brothers have run a smuggling ring and have supplied illegal firearms to some of the gangs in the Old Hueromont conflict. The unregistered station, called Xutong Station in their emergency broadcast, was allegedly being used as a transit point for illegal wares where it got repackaged and hidden in shipments with everyday goods. Likewise, illegal wares were imported from Guristas space and smuggled in furniture however no smuggling outpost has been located yet.

Footage from the attack on the Xutong Sation. The ship is allegedly the Aluminum Falcon - A Nyx class Supercarrier that Mizhir Devara purchased from the notorious pirate Vincent Pryce earlier this year.

Officials from Hueromont Police states that they will prosecute the Zhelan brothers and conduct their own investigation to gain more evidence and to explore the scope of this operation. The FIO is likely to be involved as well. In addition, they stated that investigations like this should be conducted by the police and instead of running their own investigations people should go to the police right away if they suspect illegal behaviour. An investigation has also been launched to explore Mizhir Devara’s involvement in this.

The Zhelan brother’s lawyer, Duan Fen, is furious about this and made an official statement:

“Capsuleers should not be able to act as the law, nor should they be above the law. The actions of Doctor Devara are unacceptable and does not belong in the Federation. She should be prosecuted for her crimes and her attempt to set up two innocent men. If my clients are found guilty by the court, then it is only a matter of time before capsuleers use fake investigations to sweep competition off the board. We should not allow capsuleers to use the law as their pawns.”

Floseswin IV

War rages on the ground of Floseswin IV as Sarum forces continue to push onto the surface, meeting fierce resistance. Republic Command, Brutor Vanguard, and a number of Minmatar Private Military Circles (PMC’s) forces are on the ground to contest Amarr Reclamation efforts leading to intense battles. First contact saw battles rage for hours as Sarum forces attempted to land, and Minmatar troops rushed to meet them. Total losses on either side from these first initial battles are as of yet unknown, with estimates ranging from the minor to the catastrophic.

Since initial landfall, it would appear that invading forces have indeed managed to secure landing zones and have begun to advance while Minmatar forces continue to offer resistance, slowing the Amarrian progress, with some, unconfirmed reports of outright halting it. The total distribution of forces on the ground as of yet are unclear as frontlines continue to form and the situation develops.
