*** Pirate Attack *** A large pirate incursion has occurred in the St Dismas system. Around forty pirate warships have engaged AFT assets in and around the orbit of the planet Springfield, prompting a significant response from the APTF. The majority of pirate forces appear to have been operating under the Wolfpack Mercenary banner, although rumours suggest that up to three other pirate groups might have joined forces to stage the attack. Fortunately for the AFT the pirates primary target, a large outpost, was very heavily shielded and able to resist the bombardment it came under. However, the pirates successfully destroyed four AFT freighters, before making good their escape. Incoming APTF forces arrived too late to make an interception, although one pirate vessel did manage to fire off a few cheeky shots at incoming SMS heavy cruisers. The pirates appear to have access to very advanced technology, including Mk2 railguns and APEX rounds, prompting more speculation about just who might be behind the Wolfpack mercenary company. *** Peace Treaty Ratification *** It is understood the signing of the warring human affiliations peace treaty is entering the final stages. The following are expected to be putting pen to paper and signing the treaty at an as yet undisclosed high-security location: Admiral Lord Simms, Imperial Viceroy, on behalf of the Imperial Services, Lord Angus Sivar, Speaker of the House of Lords, on behalf of the the Detinus Republic, Zuvoro Norozov, FET CEO, on behalf of the Frontier Exploration & Trade, Roland, Corporation CEO, on behalf of the Galactic Trade & Transport, Samuel Toridan, Director of Confederate Intelligence, on behalf of the Confederate Intelligence Agency, Thomas S Jackson, Supreme Commander, on behalf of the the Confederate Forces, Naz Kodrix, BHD Pontiff, on behalf of the Brotherhood, Baron LiQuan on behalf of the House LiQuan, the House Schwartz and the House Drake. Following this each Starbase (current and future) in the Commonwealth (former Inner Empire and Inner Confederacy) will be asking the planetary populations to ratify this peace accord to the degree that anybody breaking the Peace Accord will be embargoed by the population. *** Flagritz Chicken Shoot Continues *** The Flagritz Empire continue to shoot up small Falconian scouts, this time destroying an Eel class scout and another small ground party in Twilight. Though it is understood the scout ship was crippled, and leaking radioactivity from its engine core at the time. Meanwhile in Acropolis a lone FLZ shipping raider has attacked larger FCN warships, heavily outnumbered the FLZ warship was destroyed with all hands. *** Nebula *** The anomalous Nebula lighting up the skies above the Detinus Republic capital in the Venice system has dimmed significantly in recent days. *** Outpost Destroyed *** The Wolfpack Mercenaries have marked up yet another success, as they destroyed the GCE Outpost XE-5. It is not known how large the outpost was, or how many lives were lost. *** Outpost Battle *** Our reporters understand the QNG are still attempting to retake the outpost captured from them by the Wolfpack Mercenaries several weeks ago. *** Pirate Destroyed *** The pirate ground party Cyborg Liberation Front has been pinned and destroyed by SMS forces. ***** Periphery Classifieds ***** *** Blue Print Wanted *** If anyone has a torpedo launcher mkIII or mkIV blueprint I would be interested in purchasing for a reasonable sum of cash. All deals always completed in confidence. Wolfgang, Wolfpack Squadron. *** Hulls Wanted *** Greetings Sentients, I am in need of 200 Normal Hulls and 200 Heavy Hulls. Anyone who has either for sale please contact me privately with a price quote. Thanks, Evan Merrick, AFT *** Contact Request *** Could a member of the MOH make contact please? Stephen Armstrong CIA Intelligence Director *** Contact Request *** I would be most grateful if a member of the FEL with responsibility for starbases in the Skye system could contact me concerning a matter of trade. douglas CEO Hiram's Enterprises a member company of the AFT ***** From The Posting Boards ***** dirtious g has just posted a new topic entitled "Advertising" in forum "Everything Else".

*** Outcasts *** The Starbase Outcasts, once belonging to the GTT but then dramatically captured some time ago by the DTR, has been returned to GTT hands as part of the ongoing peace agreement. It is understood the Adamski system will continue to be claimed by Outcasts, but now by the GTT on behalf of the DTR. This move has cemented the peace treaty between the DTR and GTT, with relations between the two parties now understood to be almost cordial, with discussions underway regarding trade agreements. *** Baseship Captured *** In a story that may already have been reported on, the Felini have successfully captured the FLZ Baseship Vanus. An entire regiment of Felini Marines, numbering almost 1500, lead the assault, and were more than capable of defeating the 6 defending Flagritz marines. The Vanus is an Overlord class Baseship, thus making it one of the 200 HH variants, and not the 200 NH. The SMS are understood to have assisted in this operation by supplying a quantity of MkiV thrust engines. *** Piracy *** More pirate ground parties have been active this week, with Pirate Ground Party 24 buzzing SMS Convallis on airburst in the Ruin system. Several APTF SMS and CNF gunships turned up, but the pirates promptly went into hiding, and it took several more days to hunt down and destroy them. Although conflicting reports suggest that the pirates gave away their position when they launched an assault against the Starbase. *** More Piracy *** Pirate Ground Party 29 this time, buzzing the DTR installation of Zion, also in the Ruin system. This GP was destroyed by DTR ground forces. *** FLZ Deny Piracy Allegations *** The Flagritz Emperor has moved to deny rumours circulating in the press that they might be behind the recent scouting of SMS installations by Pirate Ground Parties by releasing the following statement to the press: FLZ Announcement: Trade and Speculation Trade There have been a number requests about access to trade with FLZ Cliriq Vision and FLZ Cliriq Sanctuary. The only affiliations with trading and resident rights inside the FLZ Empire are the OPS and QNG. Barriers to entry from other parts of the FLZ Empire have been put up by the Evil Consortium. Regular Trade Alternatives It is our hope that the QNG may have excess FLZ items at their bases outside of Twilight Periphery to re-sale to additional customers. Cliriq Lijori(2875) in Solo is is our primary market outside the Empire located within the great free market AFT space and we have vessels arriving with goods there to on sell from time to time. We have many recent customers including, DTR, QNG, AFT, RIP, WMB, FET, FEL (what the Felini !) and are actively prepared to make markets with other affiliations in different systems. We are growing this market in Solo to benefit of all affiliations as part of the FLZ Trading strategy. Special Consignments can be discussed and drop shipped if an attractive proposal is received from anyone, well almost anyone. Pirate activity mentioning FLZ black ops in SSS The FLZ would like to quash any rumours that we are behind any pirate activity against the SMS in Imperial Territory mentioned in SSS. Pirate activity is against our Trading strategy in the Peripheries. Baw'Xok Imperator Flagritz Empire Glory to the Empire *** Yet More Piracy *** Odd reports are coming in from Rebellion, where the Pirate Cyborg Liberation Army has been engaged with the RIP. Details are unclear at this time, but it seems the Pirates attacked the RIP outpost Jumping Bean, for reasons as yet unknown. It is unclear whether or not the pirates were successful. *** Skirmish in Twilight *** More 1-crew Falconian ground parties have been destroyed by the Flagritz empire in the Twilight periphery. By all accounts the FLZ are having a grand old time blasting huge craters in the jungles whenever they detect a FCN transmission. *** Pin-Up Poster Porn-Star Pirate *** It seems to have been a long time, but everybodies favourite psychopath Pirate Large has returned with more threats for the safety and sanity of the Peripheries: “Ahhaarrgghhh me hearties................. it be aye..................... Pirate Large...................

[censored] if yee would likes to purchase me porn contact me. Pirate Large” *** Skirmish *** Krell forces have been involved in a skirmish that appears to have involved both the Kastorians and the Falconians in the Skord system. The Krell Broadsword Malevolence launched an attack against the FCN Outpost B on the planet Kindom, and appears to have been supported by the KAS platform Lilith, leading to rumours that the Krell and KAS might be working together. The FCN outpost took moderate damage. *** Sabotage *** The FCN Outpost No Folly in the Storm system was the sight of a disaster this week when an unexplained explosion destroyed the outposts hiport, which then crashed to the ground, narrowly missing a number of civilian facilities. *** Inner Empire *** Relations between the DTR and the EEI are normalising following the destruction of the DTR diplomatic vessel and death of Marcus Rhodes, though warlike elements within the Republic are still demanding satisfaction. *** Wolfpack *** The Wolfpack Mercenaries have attacked and captured a QNG mining outpost in the Wastelands system. *** Inner Empire *** The System Message for Earth has been updated: News Flash! Earth under siege - for the first time in more than four hundred years, Earth herself has come under direct barrage from orbit. This unprecedented action has panicked billions of people and the Solar system is in uproar! Who will save humanity for surely humans can't be trusted! A statement by the Imperial Services! This action was initiated by a ship arriving in Earth orbit with incorrect battle computer settings. The captain is now awaiting Court Martial. Only the GCS starbase was targeted and little damage was done as the Starbase's shields absorbed 99.9% of the incomming fire. The only colateral damage recorded was to a GCS ship in the starport. The Imperial Services and their Allies regret this unfortunate accident. News Flash! Earth under siege - for the first time in a very long time, Earth herself has a chance to be free. This unprecedented action has panicked the few GCS leaders who were unable to escape. While trapped they were unable to put into motion the plan that would have laid waste to the whole Inner Empire and Killed Billions of Humans whos only crime was to be alive. The IMP/GTT saved Humanity when the GCS did not want to. ***** Periphery Classifieds ***** *** Stuff Wanted *** Fellow traders, I am looking to buy some Cryopods.

Claims settle in Solo and Faery
With the NHS bringing in almost a million troops into Solo and the GTT choosing it's moment to contest Faery at the same time, it seems the DTR and it's alllies either found it hard to find enough troops to respond or quite simply decided it wasn't worth the hassle as there were far more important matters to deal with in the Senate. Who knows what other life threatening topics they have to discuss, such as the correct biscuit to have with afternoon tea. The end result is that Solo and Faery, both systems with significant incomes, are now under control of Empire based affiliations.
GTT move to clear out the Dewiek Pocket Pheriphery
Having resorted to bribery to get other affiliations to move out of the DHP, with rumoured multi-million stellar amounts being offered, the GTT now appear to have cranked the pressure up. An AFT base has been attacked and a few of the nearby ships have been blown up and damaged by GTT warship class ships patrolling the area. As we write this report, information we have seen shows that the GTT have already taken 20% of the AFT base and fighting continues. We approached the GTT to ask why they are resorting to force and were told that they have had to move significant military power into the DHP to deal with ANT forces, so now they are mopping up all the resistance of other affilaitions that were asked to leave and decided not to.
BHD relics and trophies
Pope Akhenaten of the Brotherhood has been touting more and more wares that are unique to the BHD. If you are missing a holy relic and have no idea how to fill that little space in your living quarters then you know where to go. From robes to candles, literature to wine and novelty ornaments, it's never been easier to bring a little bit of the Brotherhood home and exchange your stellars for spiritual well being.

Solo claim swings back and forth
The situation in Solo appears to be getting even more heated. First the NHS dropped 600,000 troops to contest the system and then the DTR answered with enough troops of their own to trump the NHS claim. The NHS found yet more troops, taking the contesting claim up to 750,000 and once again the DTR answered, bringing Solo back under DTR control. Now the NHS have had a look down the back of the sofa and found yet more troops, taking the contesting claim to a massive 900,000 trained troops. We wait to see if the DTR have an answer to this. We can only guess where all these troops are coming from, but what is clear is that the established affiliations clearly have far larger armies than many thought.

NHS attempt to claim Solo away from DTR
In a shock move the NHS have contested the Solo claim with a huge garrison of 600,000 trained troops. In a move that nobody saw coming, especially as it was unknown the NHS had such a large force of troops to draw upon, the NHS seem to be provoking a response from the DTR. Currently there has been no word from the DTR in how they are going to deal with this claim jumping, although rumours are that they are pretending the Solo claim doesn't really matter to them and so action is unlikely. However this may be a smokescreen and we may yet see the DTR's powerful fleet cause havoc in the system of Solo, which has for a long time been an important junction and fought over by many different factions.
DNA Chairman TonTon resigns
The following communication has been leaked from the DNA to the GTT's PD.
Greetings CEO Fox. It regrets me to have to inform to you that the DNA nation state will be renouncing its claim on Aladdin system following a ceremony planet side, shortly. However, it gives me great pleasure to have to inform you that these ceremonies are being planned by Vladimir Tavikovitch, the South Road Traffic Coordinator. He is also responsible for all DNA and .ore. assets in the Outer Naplian (Capellan) periphery so if there are any further issues, please take it up with him. For any and all other matters, please forward your request directly to the DNA directorate services at NexusID: DNA people. The Foreign Ministry objects one last time to your illegal claim jump of Aladdin, but we realise it is time to de-escalate. Normally i would sign off with Naambta, but doing so would be hypocritical. Let me say good riddance instead. I hereby resign in protest!
Chairman TonTon, Foreign Minister, DNA cc: Directorate Services personnel coordinator - !urgent resignation!
DTR threaten WMB with fines for multiple breaches of DTR Law
Lady Sylvansight of the DTR has issued a fine of 1,000,000 stellars to the Wimbles for multiple breaches of DTR Penal and Territorial Law. This seems a very brave move of the DTR to risk upsetting the huge and warlike WMB when they also have the rival NHS Solo system claim to deal with. No word has been recieved yet that the Wimbles are going to pay, but if the formidable WMB warfleet is seen heading for the DTR home systems we will know what their thought are on the matter. The DTR and WMB fleets going head to head would be a sight to behold.

DNA and GTT clash over Aladdin system claim while Pirates look on.
The GTT have this week launched an attack on the DNA outpost in Aladdin, in what appears to be little more than a turkey shoot. Around 100,000 GTT Naplian Startroopers attacked the DNA position to remove the rival system claim. Reports indicate the DNA garrison were taken by surprise and lost control of the base in the first few hours of the fighting. The base has since been reflagged from [Free Naplian Capital] Peaceful Protest to [Loyal Naplian Capital] DNA claim Ended so it's fair to say there was a clear message being sent by the GTT. We have been waiting for the DNA leadership to comment but so far they have been unusually silent. No doubt when they have crawled out from under their desks they will have something to say on the matter.
While this attack was going on several pirate ships were also seen in Aladdin, according to the GTT in what may be true or may be a diversion, with reports of a pirate GP and scout being destroyed while a 150HH pirate warship slipped away and escaped from incoming anti-pirate patrols.
Secret meeting of the EEM
A recent communication intercepted by one of our top reporters today made us aware of a meeting of the EEM. This is underway in a top secret location called Black Pool, which sounds suspiciously like the lair of a pirate band. After pulling in many favours, we were able to identify some of the attending members. On the bases that they won't be named we were able to find out some slight information of the subjects to be discussed at the meeting and one thing is for certain, there could be huge impacts to the lives of everybody living in the galaxy. Details to follow. When the shadowy figures of the EEM come together with the top political players in a pirate base the possibilities are endless!
You are never more than 6 systems from a RAT ðŸ€
A new saying has arisen in the bars and spaceport of starbases throughout the many peripheries; you are never more than 6 systems from a RAT.
It is understood that this saying originated in Yank and spread by trade vessels to peripheries far and wide. Many starbases have heightened their security and added additional sensors and locks to various entry points including foul and grey water outfalls. Beer and drug stocks are undergoing increased proofing to avoid the critters gaining entry and consuming the stockpiles.
Will this present as a new plague of proportions never before seen or is this some simple urban myth being spread for the amusement of some mischievous entity? Who knows, but to be certain... check the shadows.

This year we will again be returning to the Briardene Hotel. They were welcoming, the bar didn't run out of beer pre-covid and there was room for quiet chats. Along with Wetherspoons there is the Victoria just down the road (Sam Smiths - last time beer was around 2 shillings per pint and a full round was less than £10).
Mostly drinking beer and talking toot though we have a good few things on the agenda.
Bookings are done directly with the hotel. Book by phone and say that you are with KJC Games
Briardene Hotel Telephone: +44(0)1253 338300 All staff should be able to deal with the booking but if there are any problems ask for Tracy (manager) as she dealt with all our foibles in previous years. |

Dog days are over
With the fall of the DEN and the implosion of their home territory as the AFT, DTR and GTT moved in, it was unlikely the Dewiek would rise again. The DWP gave the species a little hope with the Dewiek Pocket Periphery kept under lock and key. But news has reached us of the AFT's penetration of this private area of space that's been locked down. With a base and claim in one of the three visible systems it seems that the end of the Dewiek is near. A once noble and aggressive race, determined to make an impact on the galaxy is now little more than a species that lives under the command of others. A sad end to a once powerful species that used to control a significant part of known space.
Pirate activity continues
Yet more reports of pirate activity have been received, one from the WMB, losing a freighter in Solo and another from the FET who reported they had engaged and hit the attacking pirate ship with several weapons before it managed to make off with it's prize. Hopefully the pirate ship took significant damage and will now be out of action for some time. The Corewards periphery seems to have been plagued with pirates recently and many travellers would welcome a break from attacks.
MEK incursion into Corewards
The FET and GTT have mounted a joint venture into Nog-Kesri to tackle a MEK force. It isn't known where they have come from, with the only other MEK ships seen so far being located in the Orion Spur. The lack of a known link between where they have appeared in Corewards and the Orion Spur has caused some concern among planetary populations as who knows where they could turn up next! Fortunately the combined FET/GTT task force dealt the MEK a heavy blow and the threat has been eradicated. But we all know this is unlikely to be the last we hear of the MEK in Corwards and we would encourage ship captains to keep a keen eye on thier sensor screens when travelling near Nog-Kesri.

Aladdin faces ongoing DNA/GTT tension
The tensions between the DNA and GTT in the Coptuv system recently spilled over into the DNA system of Aladdin. A significant party of GTT ground troops has reinforced one of their bases in the system and claimed it, forcing the system claim into turmoil as the DNA finds itself under threat of losing the system. With the DNA chairman asking for help, several affiliations have been seen sending ships to evacuate any in the local population that want to escape the GTT. But so far not a shot has been fired and despite the AFT, FEL and DTR assistance no reisistance to the claim jump has been encountered so far. It remains to be seen if the DNA and it's friends will scatter before this hostile take over or put in a last minute counter claim to thwart GTT intentions.
Increasing pirate activity
Recent reports indicate a new surge in pirate attacks with the AFT and GTT reporting ships lost. Knowing how some don't like to advertise losses we wouldn't be surprised if this is the tip of the iceberg. Reports passed to us show the ship PIR Scavenger running ID 43174 and another ship of the same name running ID 68668 have both been in action with successful boarding attempts. It's unknown whether these are seperate ships or the same ship reregistered, but our information suggests that it would be hard for these pirates to cover the space where these attacks happened with just one ship. One thing is for sure, be on your guard as open space is not as safe as it once was.
GCE ships loitering in deep space
After the fall of the GCE and a lot of their assets being shared or purchased it was thought that the affiliation was no more. Yet deep space scans indicate that there is still a significant number of GCE warships holding station in deep space between Coptuv and Yank on the transport route into the Corwards Arm. Nobody knows what these ships are up to and why they are still flagged GCE, but our best guess is that are captains either awaiting new orders or owners after the fall of the GCE command structure.

Tension in the Corewards Arm
With the DNA obtaining several ex-GCE bases in the Coreward Arm it has found itself in the middle of an asset grab of serious proportions and aggression. Our reporters witnessed several GTT troop carriers heading for the Corewards system as the DNA published information suggesting they were accidental owners of the system and that the assets were to be moved on. As the GTT ships started to arrive the bases were quickly passed to the CIA, thus thwarting the GTT intentions as they were hardly likely to start dropping troops on their allies bases. This shrew move by the DNA seems to have calmed matters in the Coreward arm temporarily, although the shift in relations between the GTT and DNA has taken a negative turn. When asked what their next move might be the GTT refused to comment.
GCE collapse
The GCE are no more, save for some scattered light freighters. The affiliation which enjoyed a sharp rise and profiltable relations with many has ceased trading. Rumors point to the GTT buying up GCE assets before stripping the rival corporation of anything of value. Although our reporters at the SSS have been quick to point out that any GCE assets not in GTT systems have been taken over by both the DNA and FET. So it seems many different affiliations were able to profit from this development including a new group called the HSH who appear to have taken over the GCE war fleet. No doubt many in the peripheries will be watching with interest where these ships are used, who the HSH are and how they were able to get thier hands on so many warships so quickly.
Secudus trials
In the Cluster Secudus has continued his trials, claiming to root out terrorists working against the Empire. With tends of thousands of beings being sent to the camps or worse. There is no sign of these actions stopping as the NHS clamp down on the locals and bring them under the harsh control of the Empire.
