Welcome to another edition of news and views from the CSNN's favourite reporter and news anchor, Ainsley Moore, the peripheries' most favourite unbiased publication in the known universe,

We have been off air for some time relocating our HQ within the Inner Caliphate, after recent hostile acts within the Darkfold region.....

And so with the news,


Corewards Conflict – CAL Claims Arridian System

The Arridian system was claimed for the Caliphate and the Empire this week by the Vizier.

It is understood that an official flag raising ceremony has taken place and a system charter will be put in place shortly.

CCSN hopes this will bring peace to an otherwise hostile region.

Corewards Conflict - DEN Claim Galleon System

It is understood by some CSNN sources that the DEN will soon claim the Galleon system for DEN and the Alien Alliance (AA).

Even though the actual claim will go into effect on Wednesday of next week, CCNN gives our viewers this exclusive story first.

CSNN wishes this claim will help promote peace throughout the region too.

Claiming ceremonies by the DEN reported to be quite simple.


Corewards Conflict - PRV Attack FLZ

Unofficial information from an unnamed source has reported to the CSNN that a group of Privateer (PRV) warships attacked a small group of FLZ transport ships within the Corewards region this week.

Although the report is sketchy it is understood that a single FLZ transport was destroyed and its destruction led to 3 others escaping.

It is unknown where this incident took place or who was backing this PRV fleet.

Other News - FLZ Attack in Darkfold

After some minor outpost attacks within the London and Beach systems, the attacks have come to a halt after a lone FLZ warship was engaged and destroyed in the Beach system.

The FLZ warship, which was equipped with light rail guns, was engaged By 3 CIA defence ships responding to an attack the previous day.

Code:

 ---------------------------------Battle Summary---------------------------------

FLZ Steel Rain (30945) - Ship
Na'xe-klis Class Gun Boat {Light Armour}
Armour: 22.6
Hull Damage: 100.0%
BLOWN UP!


It is believed the FLZ warship inflicted minor damage to a single CIA vessel but there has been no word from official sources to corroborate this.

Other News - MRC attacks FET, Curly System

A FET outpost in the Curly system has been attacked and took over by MRC forces:

Code:
 Incoming Fire from MRC GP 1 (75510)
-----------------------------------
Round 1: 1 Aquaphid Marine - 0 [2] damage
908 Light Tanks - 323 [18160] damage
3600 Naplian Mercenaries - 250 [7200] damage
Round 2: 1 Aquaphid Marine - 0 [2] damage
875 Light Tanks - 719 [17500] damage
3561 Naplian Mercenaries - 216 [7122] damage
Round 3: 1 Aquaphid Marine - 0 [2] damage
866 Light Tanks - 492 [17320] damage
3545 Naplian Mercenaries - 260 [7090] damage
Round 4: 1 Aquaphid Marine - 0 [2] damage
862 Light Tanks - 564 [17240] damage
3538 Naplian Mercenaries - 268 [7076] damage


It seems the lone Aquaphid marine, backed his mechanised Naplian mercenaries, proved more than a match for the FET defenders who lost control of the outpost on the second day of fighting.

Even though calls for assistance were made by the Kumicho of the FET Cartel, Zuvoro Norozov, Oyabun of Norozov Holdings, it is not known if suitable help arrived despite a private communiqué form the Dominion (DOM).

Other News - Storm Clouds Over Storm System

USN media reports that trouble is brewing in the Storm system after a "Rebel USN elements, apparently loyal to the other Krell state" took control of several strategic and key military assets early this week.

As the Storm system has seen its fair share of conflict and bloodshed and no word has been heard officially from what analysts are calling a "resurgent" KRL party, CSNN hope peace will also reign within the Storm system.

Other News - FET shoot MRC, Hanf System

Fearless FET fighters ferociously fought a single MRC sensor ship, which was brought down in fine fettle.

Code:
 MRC Eye of Hanf (81584) - Ship
Eyeball Class Sensor Ship {No Armour}
Hull Damage: 100.0%
BLOWN UP!


CSNN hopes the FET's reputation as being fearful and feckless has been frightfully replaced by fearsome feats of ferocity finally find favour amongst the galactic powers.

Reports are coming through to the CSNN of a CIA attack on a FLZ outpost within the Corewards region.

It is understood the CIA have dealt massive damage to the FLZ outpost.
