Due to certain unfortunate accusations* having been thrown at us by what we can only assume to be losers who will never really amount to much venting their jealousy, we're taking time out of our schedule to present to you, dear reader, proof of a complete lack of malfeasance on our part towards either any code of laws, or the common man those laws aim to protect.
  • FACT: We have never kidnapped anyone to sell into slavery on Crete.
  • FACT: All goods our ships carry are perfectly legal!**
  • FACT: We follow the law.***
  • FICTION: We fund or supply terrorist groups.****
  • FICTION: We ARE a terrorist group in disguise
  • FACT: We're far richer and more successful than those making the above accusations combined

On a cheerier note, the first Itinerant prototype's keel has been successfully been moved out of Freeport 12 to [REDACTED] and the last few nuts and bolts, among other things, will be screwed on in short order.

In an even cheerier note, peace with the Freeport 11 Zoners has been signed. After the rogue Order captain Vex Upsilon abused her position of trust to spread vicious lies to the poor innocent Administrator, relations were tense, but fortunately, a few members of our ever-vigilant
***** Senior Staff were able to clear it up before [REDACTED]

* Some of them almost even resemble something grounded in reality, though are still disastrously false
** Everywhere. No jokers with a line about "legality at the point of origin" here, thank you.
*** Though most laws are more often than not honored in the breach than the observance
**** For the sake of argument, governments with claimable legitimacy do not count as terrorist groups******
***** We're always watching.
***** If you don't like it, do the honorable thing and whine your ass off

House Fexx, an up-and-coming mining and engineering concern in the Omicrons, has just signed an agreement with The League. In exchange for routine deliveries of equipment to their shipyards, The League has gained access to a nigh-bottomless supply of expensive rare goods. Due to our modus operandi of moving high-end goods and the market in the gap, the Senior Staff has commissioned additional merchant Bustard-chassis vessels to better take advantage of the developing economic situation.

Say hello to Malevolent Brick, Windu, and Magic Brick.

There are some who may remember House Fexx as a pirate or terrorist organization. Rest assured, we ensured those elements of that group have been purged thoroughly. The League continues to do good for society even beyond its borders by offering honest employment with excellent benefits to those that would prey on society's vulnerable. Should you find a remnant of House Fexx that clings to their piratical ways, you are encouraged to terminate them with extreme prejudice. They do not represent House Fexx at all.

It's not all good news, however. The terrorist group known as the Lost Company has stepped up their attacks on civilian shipping just about everywhere. The footage our intrepid cameramen have secured are far too shocking to show here, but rest assured, it is not pretty.

Still at large: LC-Devourer. If you see him, alert the nearest law enforcement, military, or bounty hunter and run. If you are military, a bounty hunter, or law enforcement... good luck.

솜틀 Holt, in cooperation with our integrated UBOS project, is pleased to announce that the Concordia Research Team has been revived following last year's human error problems resulting in the deaths of all involved. Re-branded as Concordia Biotics, they've been acquiring foodstuffs and pharmaceuticals in bulk for their projects lately.

ATTACHMENTS
Concordia Biotics is a subsidiary of TITAN-Holt Products, LLC. a private manufacturing firm owned by League Senior Staff. Specializing in the experimental "strand-laying" technology left by its predecessor organization, Concordia expects to be able to produce entire biological constructs so as to avoid straining limited manpower. With Senior Staff Liaison 솜틀 Holt running the entire show, one need not worry about board meetings of gangs of unscrupulous corporate oligarchs pushing immoral research in the name of greed.

Stated Goals:
  • Synthesize stable living creatures for commercial use in the field.
  • Improve surgical reconstruction procedures.
  • Make those food rations actually taste good. We got a bunch of them lying around, may as well...

To reach Concordia Biotics with business inquiries, diplomatic insults, or declarations of war, contact Senior Staff Liaison 솜틀 Holt, or pipe a direct line to the integrated Colossus Secretarial HAI (Human-Analogue Intelligence).


Colebrook Colony to Expand

The colony we have established on Planet Colebrook how serves as home to over one thousand souls, thanks to the diligent efforts of our spaceborne engineering team and Merchantman Carrier fleet.

Terraforming operations are expected to begin in earnest some time mid-August this year, and their success is projected to be explosive, due to the experimental procedure CRIMSON SHORES, designed in tandem with TITAN-Holt Products by the Abh Research Group. If successful, the procedure will provide the backbone of League homesteading efforts wherever a suitable planet may be found.

Senior Staff Liaison Holt had this to say.

We'll keep you informed as the situation develops.

The star of the New Hampshire System, according to telemetry from our colony on Planet Colebrook, is in a state of instability brought on by as of yet anomalous stellar activity. Projected time until collapse: Four months, maybe less.

This is a general advisory to everyone with something they would miss in New Hampshire: Get out. Now.

Planetary evacuation procedures for League colonists are currently underway at Port Joseph Smith.

In the wake of recent events, infections have gone up.

The dreaded rhinovirus, which causes a rhinoceros to burst out of one's nose after up to three days of coughing and sneezing, was spread my one Tyson "Tay" Jemaia, an "Infected Outcasts Scout", who in a desperate attempt to warn us off addressed his ramblings to all of Sirius. Let his sacrifice not be in vain. If you see someone cough, don't go near them or you may be impaled by the rhinoceros that is about to burst out.

TITAN-Holt Products is pleased to announce Concordia's latest development: Synthetic crystalline life.

Not unlike the organisms that inhabit the far reaches of the Omicrons, these crystalline lifeforms are actively inimical to human life and glow. They also demonstrate the harder to understand aspects of them, such as the ability to bend electromagnetic radiation of most wavelengths around themselves, rendering them invisible to the naked eye, as well as most scanning equipment. However, in atmosphere, their displacement of matter makes them easy to secure and contain, protecting our researchers.

That's not the best part. Per an agreement with Secret Valley, several of the samples were used in their manufacturing process, and there was no marked difference compared to the more conventionally-acquired materials.

TITAN-Holt Products. Brighter thinking. Better doing.

At 3:00 AM Manhattan time, a gas giant exploded.

The Panoptic was on-scene within minutes to survey the aftereffect. We were not disappointed.

Our survey teams have informed us that the contents of the gas giant have yielded many mega-tonnes of valuable materials. Our facilities in
[REDACTED] have already begun sifting through them for the Bricks.
