What is white and red and goes round and round?

A meatsack in Kang’s family-sized blender.

NEWS!


*** Ground Offensive ***


The FLZ battle legion, the Sons of Silith, have launched a small scale ground offensive on eight planets across three systems this week, as superior Flagritz lifeforms continue to subjugate lesser races.

Kang has been allowed to witness firsthand footage of the attacks against the puny humans, and Kang can confirm that it is gloriously chaotic and brutal, with mass mayhem breaking out across the surface of many planets full of many worthless meatsacks.

Kang presents to you some of the highlights:

Update Day 2

Commanders report the following outposts have fallen:
Sons of Silith Scor-20
GTT Kriegerwerks T (27137), Brown Bess, St Dismas - commencing salvage

Commanders report the following outposts have been subverted, with local forces joining the FLZ:
GTT OUTPOST Lewis Surk M2 (43451) - commencing salvage
GTT OUTPOST Lewis Surk M1 (30196) - commencing salvage

Puny lesser races clearly recognised the superiority of the Flagritz species by joining with the FLZ.

Six further GTT and IMP outposts were also assaulted.

But allow Kang to stifle any complaints of celebrating the success of the FLZ here, Kang would be just as happy to be reporting on the brutal slaughter of the FLZ, as Kang hates his own people as much as anybody else – truly, it is the Flagritz way.

AND IT IS SUPERIOR!

Update Day 3

GTT Light cruisers intercept a Flagritz freighter in the outer quadrants of the Lewis system. FLZ forces celebrate the loss of one of their own as they never liked the crew of the Astra Runner anyway.

FLZ Commanders report the following outposts have fallen:
Sons of Silith Scor-20 - GTT Kriegewerks T (663), Brown Bess, St Dismas - commencing salvage
Sons of Silith Scor-19 - GTT Kriegerwerks T (5642), Brown Bess, St Dismas - commencing salvage
Sons of Silith Scor-05 - GTT Aquawerks R (99281), Downtime, Lewis - commencing salvage

Commanders report the following outposts have been subverted, with local forces joining the FLZ:
Sons of Silith Scor-20 - GTT OUTPOST KriegerKarbon (3219) - commencing salvage

Again the workers of GTT KriegerKarbon discover that life is too awful to remain under control of the GTT. Can anybody blame them, really? The FLZ are regularly voted #1 for brutal overlords, the preferred overlord of all minions everywhere.

FLZ Commanders report ongoing conflict at the following outposts:
Sons of Silith Scor-03 - GTT OUTPOST AQUAWERKS R (15242) - {4-8} 31 kMus
Sons of Silith Scor-06 - GTT OUTPOST AQUAWERKS TT (14463) - {17-15} 68 kMus - Hiport
Sons of Silith Scor-12 - GTT OUTPOST Aquawerks TJ (14182) -
Sons of Silith Scor-09 - GTT OUTPOST Lewis Surk M3 (64388
Sons of Silith Scor-04 - GTT OUTPOST Lewis Downtime T1 (45601)
Sons of Silith Scor-08 - GTT OUTPOST Lewis Surk B1 (49963) -
Sons of Silith Scor-11 - GTT OUTPOST Lewis Mink T2 (42385) -
Sons of Silith Scor-10 - GTT OUTPOST Lewis Mink T1 (25063) -
Sons of Silith Scor-14 - GTT OUTPOST StDEnf Mc -eo (78356) -

Update Day 4

Puny human meatsack reinforcements began to increase, with retaliatory strikes against taken bases commencing. Meanwhile 3000 additional FLZ reinforcements were dropped at heavy combat zones.

Commanders report the following outposts have fallen:
Sons of Silith Scor-06 - GTT OUTPOST Aquawerks TT (14463) - Lewis System (143) - commencing salvage
Sons of Silith Scor-03 - GTT OUTPOST Aquawerks R (15242) - Lewis System (143) - commencing salvage


Commanders report ongoing conflict at the following outposts:
Sons of Silith Scor-09 - GTT OUTPOST Lewis Surk M3 (64388) - Lewis System (143)
Sons of Silith Scor-12 - GTT OUTPOST Aquawerks TJ (14182) - Lewis System (143)
Sons of Silith Scor-04 - GTT OUTPOST Lewis Downtime T1 (45601) - Lewis System (143)
Sons of Silith Scor-08 - GTT OUTPOST Lewis Surk B1 (49963) - Lewis System (143)

Sons of Silith Scor-10 - GTT OUTPOST Lewis Mink T1 (25063) - Lewis System (143)
Sons of Silith Scor-14 - GTT OUTPOST StDEnf Mc -eo (78356) - St. Dismas System (176) - drawing heavy fire from GTT support GP

Commanders report recapture by the EMP of the following outposts:
GTT OUTPOST Aquawerks R (99281) - Lewis System (143)
FLZ OUTPOST Lewis Surk M2 (43451) - Lewis System (143) - Outpost was destroyed on round 2

It was at this point that the FET decided to get involved by lending their meatsack human friends their overwhelmingly superior firepower from their nearby base of Eilean Donan:

Commanders additional reports:
Sons of Silith Scor-06 report FET intervention against their Scor:
Incoming Fire from FET Eilean Donan (268)
-----------------------------------------
Round 4: 54 Artillery mkIIs
- 54 hits - 460 [1620] damage - 100%

Well Kang did say it was ‘overwhelming’.

Okay, there was more, the FET weren’t quite this pathetic:

Additional is the report from the outpost upon capture:
Incoming Fire from FET Eilean Donan (268)
-----------------------------------------
Round 4: 2033 Artillery mkIIs
- 2033 hits - 46859 [60990] damage - 100%
2800 Ground Bombers
- returning to base

Kang is looking forward to the reports of civilian casualties.

Those are always Kang’s favourite parts.

And speaking of Kang’s favourite parts….



*** Xenophagy Update ***

More news Xenophagy news from the frontiers of science


The Faculty of Biotechnology Bioweaponry and the Culinary arts continues its research in the periphery wide phenomena of Xenophagy and has confirmed that the 'Self cooking Storm mystery meat patties' on sale from certain unlicensed vendors in Yank are made from recycled Krell flesh. The Faculty would like to remind both vendors and consumers that the patties 'self cooking qualities' and there 'green glow of health' are due to the are due to the interaction of the heavy elements and nuclear, biological and chemical weapon traces present in the tissue interacting with atmosphere. The patties also contain excessive levels of sodium chloride and transfats. These elements can combine to move the patties from being what one consumer called ' A truly transgressive dining experience at reasonable price' to what the patrons coroner called 'A messy form of suicide that also violates regulations on disposable of toxic waste"

Two new papers have been announced for the forthcoming conference

'Consuming the Alien Spore of ID xenophagy or Vegetarianism?'

And

'Soylent Green: the GTT's new wonder food'



*** Groundstorm ***

The Flagritz Universal News network has reported the name of this ongoing operation is ‘Groundstorm’.

And not, as Kang hoped, ‘Operation Meatsack Stomping’.



*** Xenophagy Update ***

Rumours are circulating regarding the motivation behind the wretched Falconian Empire agreeing to take on the Wimbles as protectorates, as a number of commentators have recently compared the small furry Wimble race as the perfect prey, and that the FCN may have an ulterior motive.

Kang can neither confirm nor deny that Wimbles should be classified as ‘perfect’ prey, as Kang is yet to finish up killing one of everything in the Peripheries. But Kang can confirm that the panicked little squeak they make is quite delightful.


*** Operation Groundstorm ***

The Flagritz ground offensive has continued into a fifth day of chaotic action, with Human Empire reinforcements flooding into the scene and retaliatory strikes reigning down on captured outposts.

FLZ Commanders report the following outposts have fallen:
Sons of Silith Scor-08 - GTT OUTPOST Lewis Surk B1 (49963) - Lewis System (143) - commencing salvage
Sons of Silith Scor-11 - GTT OUTPOST Lewis Mink T2 (42385) - Lewis System (143) - commencing salvage
Sons of Silith Scor-10 - GTT OUTPOST Lewis Mink T1 (25063) - Lewis System (143) - commencing salvage
Sons of Silith Scor-14 - GTT OUTPOST StDEnf Mc -eo (78356) - St. Dismas System (176) - despite drawing heavy fire from GTT support GP - commencing salvage


Commanders report ongoing conflict at the following outposts:
Sons of Silith Scor-12 - GTT OUTPOST Aquawerks TJ (14182) - Lewis System (143)
Sons of Silith Scor-04 - GTT OUTPOST Lewis Downtime T1 (45601) - Lewis System (143)


Flagritz ground forces under the command of Flagritz commanders that disgust Kang, are reportedly digging in at some locations with the intent of forcing the puny Humans to come and get them on the ground.


*** Mydoria ***

The pathetic snivelling system of Mydoria has been claimed by the Caliphate, who are also pathetic and snivelling. Kang declares this a match made in heaven.


*** Mercenary ***

A small mercenary scout ship has been destroyed by the FET in the Hanf system.

In other news, the FET have recently won an award for being hopelessly corrupt, given out by concerned local businessmen on Mobile Bay.

In other news, many wonderful concrete bridge foundations are being poured.


*** Governments Declared Archaic ***

A large number of puny meatsack governments across the Peripheries have recently been reclassified by the EEM as ‘Archaic’, thus denoting their truly inferior status.

Kang contacted the EEM and requested that Flagritz government officially be reclassified as ‘Superior’, and Kang is still waiting for a response.


*** Curly Conflict ***

A small FET outpost on a planet too insignificant to even name has come under attack by a Mercenary company. 3600 Naplians backed up by an armoured deployment of light tanks proved the FET to be puny and incompetent as they captured the base in short order, despite reinforcements being rushed in.

Quite what the mercenary Naplians were going to do with their soon-to-be smoking crater remains to be seen.


*** Galleon System ***

The contemptuously meaningless system of Galleon has been claimed by the Dewiek, presumably they needed a new back yard in which to play fetch.

Yes. Kang went there. Deal with it.
