Phoenix is a science fiction game on an awesome scale, combining the best of roleplaying and strategy in an ever-expanding universe.
With human moderators on hand, any action is possible. There are
myriad plotlines to be explored and secrets to discover. The game
is under constant development, with new options added from player suggestions.
You can strike out on your own, and live by your wits in a hostile
universe. Or you can join with like-minded players in a player-run
faction, and build a civilisation amongst the stars. The choice
is yours.
A thousand roles are possible. Will you be a simple trader, peddling
goods from planet to planet? Or a fearless explorer, risking unknown
worlds in search of incredible things? Or maybe you will be a warrior,
and your warships will turn worlds into dust.
In the world of Phoenix, actions have real consequences. You can
champion law and order, or grow rich from pirate raids. You can
build an empire, or bring one down in flames. You decide your destiny....although
your enemies may have other plans.
Starship positions are free to run, and you can sign up today.

***** Inter Galactic Blessed News Of Spiritual Truth *****
*** New Editor ***
The bells of the Ecclesiarch ring out in joy this week, as the Brotherhood take over the reigns of the Galaxies Greatest News Organ.
We here at the SSS HQ are happy to welcome Bishop Damenblazt as this weeks guest editor.
As always, the Good Bishop wishes to point out that his views are not to be taken as the official views of the Brotherhood affiliation, as they have not been contacted over editorial contact. However, he was quick to point out that this did not mean his words were not also the Truth, as the True One speaks through His chosen servants, and to doubt the word of a Bishop is the most vile of heresies.

***** Inter Galactic News Flagritz Special *****
*** Staff Changes ***
Overlord Schturm requires no staff announcement regarding his taking over as Editor this week! Overlord Schturm demands your obeisance, all lowly lifeforms must listen to the words of the mighty Flagritz! Listen, and you might be allowed to continue serving us as slaves, puny weak flesh things of the Peripheries! HERE IS THE NEWS!
*** GTT Clean Up Operation ***
Pathetic weaklings the GTT have continued clean up operations against mewling crybabies the DTR in the Adamski system this week, as they run around capturing small undefended outposts. Humans are pitiful, they disgust me. Why don’t you all just kill yourselves already?

***** Inter Galactic News - Fist Smash Special *****
*** Staff Changes ***
With the departure of the previous Editor, the long-suffering staff here at the IGN/SSS are happy to announce a new partnership with news media outlets across the Peripheries, bringing you, our glorious readers, a new guest Editor every week.
This week we have been happy to welcome a Mister Fist Smash to our offices, from one of the few Krell newspaper offices still standing on Inversion.
Well, when we say ‘still standing’, we mean he usually publishes a single sheet of news slash insults from a smoking crater round the back of the spaceport.

*** In The Grim Future ***
War has swept the Peripheries.
There can be only one ruler of humanity and he is the Emperor. His loyal champions, Viceroy to the Imperial Forces, Confederate Commander and Prince LiQuan have colluded to remove the Republic's presence from territories captured during previous hostilities. While the Republic has been resolute in defence it is certain things are not over yet.
While humanity preys on itself, the Dewiek Nation, ancient and savage have left their dens to hunt - not in five hundred years have they demonstrated such outright brutality as they expand their territory into what has been traditionally Felini held space. The Felini, having been deserted by the human miners (Stellar Mining and Smelting) and outright betrayed by the Falconians find themselves beset on all sides as this new threat adds to their ongoing strife with the Flagritz.

*** Adamski ***
A major ground battle has been fought on the surface of T4 in the Adamski system, when GTT ground forces attacked a DTR outpost located on the surface of the planet with the intent of continuing their stated war goal of ejecting the DTR from the system.
At time of press we understand the GTT have successfully captured the outpost, but it took several days of heavy fighting, in which the main GTT Starbase Outcasts was brought in for fire support against stubborn DTR defenders.
The DTR Defence ministry has released the following casualty reports, which have been verified as more or less accurate by SSS reporters on the scene:

*** All Quiet On The Western Front Part 2 ***
The continuing lack of major operations in the Empire Vs DTR war continues this week, baffling commentators as the situations has seemed to evolve into something of a cold war. However, our newsroom has learnt that a major fleet battle almost occurred this week as a large DTR fleet moved to intercept a large Empire fleet, just as the large Empire fleet apparently moved to intercept the large DTR fleet, and it seems both fleets of vessels managed to neatly avoid each other.

*** Straddle Claimed By DTR ***
Following the military operation designed to remove the DTR from the Straddle system, the DTR have given up trying to appease the Emperor Lysander, and have instead instituted a successful system claim of their own, overturning the previous IMP held claim.
The Straddle system is now under DTR control, and according to DTR authorities, is currently under DTR Martial Law, though they hope to be able to relax martial law as soon as possible.
In the meantime all travellers are instructed to avoid the orbit and orbital quadrant of the planet Boomerang.
Transit through the system for neutral parties is however still allowed, provided they do not attempt to enter orbit of Boomerang.
