Current Stories
Breaking News! At 00:00 SMT this morning, James Clarke has mysteriously disappeared. He was last seen by a Core patrol heading for Omicron Lost. When The Core patrol asked him where he was heading, he maintained radio silence, however he sent a typed message entailing his motives:
Code:
Just going for a fly around.
Don't worry about me.
Keep patrolling or else your pay checks will drop considerably.
I'll return in an hour or so.
As you can imagine, he never returned. His vessel, the Core|APM-Courier-1, returned to Freeport 11 on autopilot with no living soul found inside. Spooky.
Lost in Omicron Lost. Hah, what are the odds?
Therefore Erik Nodtviet, Grand Fleet Admiral of The Core, will assume the position of APM CEO.
Speaking to him directly, Mr. Nodtviet only had to say "Pay checks will increase for everyone".
What a glorious and kind man. May he take APM to new heights.

ALWAYS LISTEN TO AND TRUST CORE PERSONNEL

Current Stories
Some of you seem to have forgotten that The Core lays claim to the Iridium Field in Omicron Delta. Iridium is a precious resource, one that The Core will control. Out of their grace, they allow anyone to haul this precious resource. Wow, does it get any better than that?
Sadly, some people just get too arrogant. Earlier today, The Core found a neutral installation inside the Iridium Field. How disgraceful - building such filfth upon The Core's own territory. Regardless, The Core did the right thing and blew it to pieces.
This time, Fleet Admiral Nodtviet allowed everyone on board the station to live and dropped them off at Freeport 11. Next time however, the firing squad may be in for a treat.
May all of you Edge Worlds dwellers take that as a warning. Mr. Nodtviet does not give second chances.
The captains of the Athena and the Moorwen captured visual footage of the installation and it's demise. We hope you enjoy it!
In conclusion: Obey the law.
Edge Worlds Survival Tips
Welcome to Edge Worlds survival tips! Are you a dweller in the Edge Worlds, but always find yourself at the wrong end of a gun? Well these tips are essential for you! Literally, you don't want to die out there, do you?
Then check out our tips for surviving in the most hostile environment in Sirius!
OBEY THE LAW
Law is what purges the chaos. Law is what keeps you safe. Law will bring peace. Law is what The Core enforce. Break the law, and you will suffer. Obey the lore, and you will prosper.
COOPERATE WITH THE CORE
Mavericks are put down.
ALWAYS BE SUPPLIED
Travelling distances in the Edge Worlds are long. It's ideal that you stock up on fuel and food before you venture out from the Freeport. You don't want to end up in a sticky situation where you have neither food or fuel, right?
PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE COCKPIT
It's irrelevant if you want to go for a potty break. Keep your eyes on the cockpit - your worst nightmare has the habit of uncloaking on you.
Crime and Punishment
Pending Executions: One;
Name: Adam Betron
Age: 19
Affiliation: The Core
Reason for execution: Failure to follow orders, desertion
Mr. Betron was on a patrol with fellow Core wing-men when they were ambushed by a nomad patrol at the Omicron Lost Jump Hole in Omicron Delta. Whilst his fellow wing-men were dying around him, fighting for The Core, Mr. Betron ran like a coward to Dabadoru, crying his eyes out after being terrified by mere nomads. Upon arrival, Mr. Betron updated the dock masters on the situation. Core High Command was then informed, and Fleet Admiral Nodtviet was not impressed. Mr. Betron was soon taken to a cell on Durban station, whereby he is awaiting execution by firing squad.
Factions of the Omicrons and Omegas
There are many groups in the Omicrons and Omegas that you should know about. It might save your life. In this episode, we talk about the unstoppable protectors of humanity, The Core.
Quote:The Core
Outside from the safety of the House colonies lies the Sirian final frontier: The Edgeworlds. The Edgeworlds are a mysterious place filled with unknown treasures, priceless rarities and breath taking sights unlike any other in Sirius. Zoners often set up their own colonies and Freeports within the Edgeworlds, choosing to opt for a peaceful existence away from the Houses. However, such beauty hides evils unbeknownst to the common explorer...
Deadly, terrifying alien creatures and their minions capable of manifesting and disappearing at will, aggressively striking down prey without a second thought. Menacing mechanical constructs roam the Edgeworlds with unknown agendas. Feral Corsairs and Outcasts continue to pirate and kill not only each other, but innocents within the Edgeworlds as well. And finally The Order, a malicious terrorist organization, seem intent on completing their goals, irrespective of whatever human or civil cost must be paid.
However, within the darkness exists a light. The Core, rising from the ashes yet again, strives to preserve, protect and install law and order within the harshness of the Edgeworlds. The Core mercilessly cracks down on all hostile elements within the Edgeworlds, slaying them as part of their conquest. As well as this, they try to obtain as many alien materials and technologies as they can so that APM and Core scientists can create more powerful and potent weaponry and ships for The Core to use. Ultimately, the dream is for The Core to create an Empire within the east of Sirius.
In the Edgeworlds and Borderworlds, people have safety knowing that the eyes of The Core do not blink, is always vigilant and is merciless in pursuit of their goals.
Goals:
>Development of powerful new technologies to improve the life of all Sirians
>Extermination of all hostile threats in the Edge Worlds
>Creation of a peaceful Empire for all to live in

The Core have successfully taken Yaren base from the fifthly Corsairs.
At 19:00 SMT, The Core carried out Operation Pacific. This was a perfectly executed plan, masterminded by Guildmaster Nodtviet and his Guildkeepers, whereby Core forces would amass at Dabadoru Station, before launching a series of fast and powerful strikes against the Corsair base. The Athena and the Moorwen took aim at the Corsair defenses, before delivering a barrage of unrelenting strikes at Battleship Granada - the last line of Corsair defense. Corsair ships were seen bleeding from the base, as part of a last ditch effort at defending the installation. However the limited and weakened Corsair forces could not stand up to the unstoppable force known as The Core.
At the end of the battle, the Corsair forces were destroyed and The Core forces stood victorious. And with this, Planet Nauru is finally fully under the control of The Core.
A small, but efficient boarding party of marines then boarded Yaren - making prisoners of those who submitted and massacring the infidels who defied the marines might.
The future of Omicron Delta is now secured. The Corsair menace has been successfully pushed out. Footage of the battle will be released at a later date.

Factions of the Omicrons and Omegas
There are many groups in the Omicrons and Omegas that you should know about. It might save your life. In this episode, we talk about one of the many scourges of humanity, the Corsairs.
Quote:Corsairs
The Corsairs, also referred to as the Corsair Empire (Imperio del Corsario), are an unlawful faction operating from the remote edge worlds of Sirius. They are believed to be the largest criminal organization currently in operation in Sirius -- frequently attacking civilian, commercial, and even military targets. The Corsairs are ruled over by an oligarchy of the most ruthless, powerful, wealthy or influential, who reach their position of power primarily by carving a bloody path of destruction through their plentiful enemies.
Corsair influenced territories span across most of the Omicron and Omega Edge Worlds, leading them as far as Bretonia and Kusari. Most of their bases are directly connected to their core worlds. The Corsairs are currently involved in a long standing, large scale war with the Outcasts over the domination of the Omicron Edge Worlds.
Their reign of terror can only be countered via a complete extermination of their race. These rats must be purged, for the sake of a better tomorrow for humanity.
Goals:
>To ruin the lives of innocent civilians via piracy and murder
>Cannibalism
>YALALALALALALA?

The dishonorable Order fools fell for it. They have set up refuge in Dabadoru Station in Omicron Delta, but at the same time they have trapped themselves in Omicron Delta - ready for The Core to deliver another crushing blow to them.
At 19:00 SMT the main fleet was ready to finally rendezvous with our ground forces on Nauru and to successfully build up Yaren Base to make it stronger and more beautiful than the filthy Corsair installation it once was. Whilst the armada was being tended too, Core High Command sent a small fleet to the Freeport, waiting for the inevitable Order attack which an Agent had spoken of prior to Operation Pacific.
How disgusting - that they would make an attack against us straight after a conflict with the Corsairs - have they no honor? Do they not dare to face us properly on the battlefield? Are they truly this weak, that they must make such a maneuver after another enemy has already attacked us? This truly shows how much greater, how much stronger, how we are far more superior than our enemies in every aspect.
Dabadoru would serve as a marker to accurately weigh up how potent Order forces could be when launching a 'major' operation. A very small percentage of The Core fleet was sent to witness the downfall of Dabadoru and to pick off Order vessels where they could for sport. A Mako with purposely designed low hull integrity and poor offensive and defensive capabilities, which was piloted by an AI program, was positioned outside of the station to record the Order offensive. Annoyingly, The Order fleet was drawn to the 'Battleship' Peleliu like moths to a flame and destroyed it. Fortunately, we were able to gather sufficient data before it was destroyed (but far less than what we wanted to gather).
Dabadoru was run by a skeleton crew of prisoners, criminals and other undesirables. When the Order would come to siege the station, all Core and other important personnel would have been evacuated already much earlier. All important supplies, vessels and munitions were transported to Omicron Rho, to prevent The Order forces from getting their hands on anything useful. The base itself had long served it's purpose, and High Command was weighing up whether to keep the station as it was. It seems The Order have made that decision for them - for now.
Our loses were at a minimum, our grand fleet stands barely scratched, and it is ready to rain fury upon The Order with a ferocity like no other.
First they will cheer. Then they will starve. And finally they will bleed.

Factions of the Omicrons and Omegas
There are many groups in the Omicrons and Omegas that you should know about. It might save your life. In this episode, we talk about the villainous terrorist organization, The Order.
Quote:The Order
The Order is a vile terrorist organization dedicated to defeating the Nomad menace, however since their initial creation they have greatly deviated from that goal. The organization is not hesitant to attack law enforcement and civilian targets if they have a 'suspicion' of said target being infected. Their foolish paranoia and grudges ultimately cost them dearly, when the Zoners cut off all support to them. Their barely supplied organization is now reduced to launching feverish but generally redundant raids against their enemies.
Do not make a mistake however, such wild and chaotic groups like The Order can still pose a significant threat if you are not careful. They have eyes and ears everywhere and will stop at nothing to fight the nomads: even if it means reducing humanity to ruin along the way.
Fortunately The Core, a true counter to the Nomad threat, has stepped in to do the job properly. The Order did not like someone doing their job, and thus declared The Core hostile. On top of The Order being declared a terrorist organization by all the houses, The Core has deemed it that they are no longer of use to humanity and must be purged. The greatest strike against The Order by The Core was when Planet Toledo - a festering pit of terrorist activity - was reduced to ruin.
Goals:
>To fight the Nomad threat by any means necessary, even if this means hurting innocent life.
>Preventing humanity from advancing to greater heights.
>Hoarding technology for themselves, to use against the houses.
