 Press Release From the offices of Drake Takayama Star Date 209.44.2 It is our sad duty to report that Drake Takayama, Director of Exploration of the GTT, has gone missing. He was last seen onboard his personal ship, in orbit of Dogleg (208), Capellan System (1), where he was supposed to fight a duel against Baron Liquan. After receiving an encoded message a few days ago, mr. Takayama left the ship without informing the crew of his intended destination. We do not know whether he moved to another ship or used a hiport to go down to one of the starbases on the planet. Also, we cannot confirm or deny the rumors that the message received by mr. Takayama prior to his disappearance came from Baron Liquan. Any information about mr. Takayama's whereabouts will be much appreciated, but considering that he has been unaccounted for since 209.43.4 this is now officially being treated as a Missing in Action case. Wolfpack Activity Heavy Wolfpack activity has been reported in the Lewis system, where multiple Wolfpack elements have been spotted skirmishing with patrol forces. An Imperial battlegroup dispatched to the system has so far failed to make contact with the enemy. Baron LiQuan Implicated In MURDER! The IGN newsroom has uncovered more information regarding the mysterious disappearance of Drake Takayama. An anonymous source identifying himself only as a ‘Concerned Indentured Servant’ has contacted us with information that Takayama didn't simply disappear, that in fact he was murdered. Our informant continues with more details: ‘Baron Liquan contacted him saying he would send a Ship to take the GTT Director to a secret location where they could have their Duel without interference. Drake believed him and embarked on that Ship, only to be sent directly into an Asteroid belt. Now the Ship is gone, Drake Takayama is Dead, and the Baron gets away Free. Someone should do Something about that man.’ Wolfpack Targets IMP Shipping Sources close to the Wolfpack leadership have indicated to IGN reporters that the pirate company are now being paid specifically to go after Imperial targets. Thus explaining the spike in recent pirate activity against IMP shipping. There is as of yet no indication as to who might be paying the Wolfpack. Inner Empire Rumours are beginning to surface throughout the Inner Empire that seem to suggest the Imperial authorities are preparing to take military action against a number of third parties. Several civilian authorities throughout the Inner Empire have reacted negatively to this, seeing it as the first step towards the Imperial-bloc re-instating the Imperial Yoke upon increasingly secessionist planetary populations. IMP Markets Several imperial markets have closed due to an influx of high value trade goods. Traders are recommended to check market status before making any long trips. Letter To The Editor Dear Mr Editor, The SMS would like to thank and commend the IMP for the speedy resolution of reparation and related matters that followed the unfotunate incident over Egghead recently.

Contact this office if interested. Yours humbly, Admin Xen. Recruitment Message Greetings Captain, Are you worthy to serve the Confederacy and shape the very fabric of the Peripheries like the great men who precede you? Tired of shuttling some stale goods from one backwater base to another and calling that fun? Do you believe its your True One given right to rule vast numbers of star systems and serve in command of one of the most powerful fleets in the galaxy? Do you tire of the company of lesser men and inferior aliens? Do you wish to be a part of a noble tradition and an affiliation that has helped shape so much of Phoenix history? If you answered yes to any of the above, believe that a man's private business is his own, enjoy a brandy and a fine cigar and good ol' fashioned manners and hospitality, then is it not time you joined the Confederate Forces? Only the ambitious, superior and honourable need apply. Yours warmly, General Ulysses F. Scott The Confederate Forces (CNF) are the government and military of the Confederacy, with a vast number of systems, numerous starbases and one of the largest fleets in the Peripheries. Born in the succession wars after the death of Emperor Paul, the Confederates have now secured their way back to the war ravaged home systems of humanity where they rule jointly as part of the Triumvirate Council of the Commonwealth. The CNF is a Stratocracy led by Supreme Commander Jackson and the generals and nobility that form the CNF Command Council. A strong sense of tradition and discipline means once the CNF has settled on a path, they work in unison to achieve their goals whether it takes days, months, years or even decades. The CNF has shaped many of the major events in the Peripheries over the past fifteen years from daring raids into Imperial space during the war with the famous Rolling Thunder fleet, opening the way back home towards Sol, recovering the body of Emperor Paul, revealing the nature of his relationship to his sons Jasil and Samuel and most recently forging the new peace that secures the right of return under a separate but equal government under a shared Emperor. Now is the time for salty captains, tough lieutenants and genius commanders to forge a new history. The home systems of humanity cry out for the wise and iron rule of Confederate generals and vast areas of space are here to be explored and colonized by those who have the mettle to serve the Confederacy. Behind you, you will find one of the great powers of the Peripheries with all the resources and opportunities you'd expect. The CNF is for those who are not content with picking scraps from the table of others, those who would rather shape the history of Phoenix rather than witness it from a distance and those who relish the opportunity to work within an organised team structure to achieve monumental goals whose effects will be felt for years and whose architects have their names written in the annals of history. Follow in the footsteps of Roswell, McGovern, Jackson, Fetlock, Dash, Demitri. Houston...great leaders who shaped the fate of millions. Join the Confederate Forces (CNF) - where nobility and power unite in thunder and steel to reclaim our rightful inheritance. ****** Contacts: Editor: Simon Field - sss [dot] editor [at] googlemail [replacetoavoidspamdot] com |
