"Elections have come to a close today with the final results of the election being released by the Ministry of Truth. Ben Warner under the Katzist Platform has taken the Premiership of the Sirius Coalition by a vote of Eighty-Two Percent in favor of Warner, Deputy Lang and his McIntoshist Platform came second with Eleven Percent while Ludwig Stein's Reformist Platform came in at Seven Percent. It is clear that the Premier's popularity and his clear successes in both the battlefield and in the State Duma have endeared him to many within the Coalition as a strong and stable leader. Deputies Lang and Stein are expected to continue serving within the Party and the State Duma and have given no comment upon the results of the election. In other news the 'Commonwealth of House Liberty' has been denounced as a Fascist regime whose Military is in complete control over all aspects of the Civilian Population's lives and no Social Freedoms are present according to the Ministry of Truth. Citizens of the 'Commonwealth' are expected to work in factories long hours and no benefits or safety regulations which may lead to a catastrophic accident that could take many lives. The Premier who originally came from Liberty gave a speech at the Kremlin Dome's Red Square in-front of a crowd of cheering supporters after the election results came in, his speech touched upon the 'Commonwealth' and it's associated bodies. " Code: "Like many within the Coalition I was not born here in New Moscow, I came here seeking to create a haven for those oppressed by the Houses and seeking to find a home where they can be safe and lead long productive lives. These men and women in the so-called 'Commonwealth of House Liberty' care little for those they claim to 'fight for'. Instead their military, the 'Hellfire Legion', institutes a Fascist Military Dictatorship with supreme power not in the hands of the people, but in the hands of a small group of men seeking to destroy any who disagrees with their vision of a Right-Wing Liberty. A frightening thought for many in Sirius who believe in freedom and justice. "After the Premier's speech in the Red Square the State Duma echoed the Premier's sentiments and proclaimed that the Commonwealth of House Liberty as a 'Terrorist State' on par with the organization known as 'The Core' and deemed them a 'Threat to Humanity'. What this means for the Coalition is that the Hellfire Legion is to be destroyed upon sightings and their associated holdings taken or destroyed."

"With New Beijing's Colonial Efforts continuing with Kamchatka and it's associated planet-side projects the Revolutionary Army and it's affiliates have been vigilant in the protection of the Coalition's newest acquisition. VI Officials have confirmed that deliveries of War Materials to Kamchatka Station in addition to Mining Supplies for it's associated planetside projects have been progressing in an effort to ensure that both Kamchatka is safe and Colonists planet-side are well equipped in the ground-breaking for future Colonial Plans. With the terrorist entity known as 'The Core' continuing to harass the Coalition's front line in the area it is doubtful that New Beijing will be a peaceful place for Colonial Efforts any time soon. Local Junkers have been spotted near Skirmish Zones where Coalition and Core vessels have been reported to have been fighting yet they have not taken an aggressive stance at this time against local forces. Experts at the Katz Institutes suggest they may be waiting for a 'big score' of salvage from the frequent fire-fights that occurs in the system. In other news Coalition Census Data has completed it's survey of all Coalition facilities and planet-side holdings and is proud to release them to the Coalition Public. Planet Volgograd: 1,520,000 Planet JiangXi: 474,790 Planet Estergebirge: 800 Other Locations: 4,410 These numbers in accordance to the Katz Institute has placed the Coalition's standing population at 2 Million and has been verified by members of the Ministry of Truth. Officials in the State Duma have stated that this stable number is due to the Coalition's many Social Programs and Family Planning Counselors which has ensured that over-population would not be a strain upon the Coalition's Food Supplies until JiangXi's farm-lands have been sufficiently reclaimed and food production has been restarted in formerly afflicted zones. The Coalition State Duma has reassured citizens that once food production has reached levels that support further expansion the restrictions upon family growth will be rescinded as the food yields of JiangXi increases. Coalition officials on JiangXi have recently released a statement upon rumours of Artifacts being found planet-side are 'True' and that the Ministry of Truth has taken measures to ensure cultural contamination of the local population is kept to a minimal and that these potentially dangerous artifacts are removed from the area. Teams from Mykolaiv Research Station's Xeno-Archeology Division has been dispatched to the area by the Ministry of Truth and the State Duma to determine the extent of the ruins and un-earth any artifacts for examination and isolation. In the Houses the trade of Artifacts has been deemed illegal with only select individuals in the Xeno-Archeology field being permitted to carry and/or handle Artifacts un-earthed. A major export of the Corsair Empire whom the People's Republic has been in a state of war with for years has been alien artifacts which has fueled the Empire's economy significantly. When asked if artifacts of a benign nature will be permitted to be displayed in local museums on Planet Volgograd and JiangXi the State Duma declined to comment."

"Today we have received a bulletin from the Ministry of Truth. They have received strong intelligence that the individual operating under the name 'Pimakhova' has been dealing with the Alliance and sharing state secrets with the enemy in return for monetary payments. The State Duma has denounced this behaviour as treason and not in line with the Coalition's Policies economically and has given orders to both the Revolutionary Army and the Ministry of Truth to capture this individual to ensure the spread of Capitalism is halted and that the Republic's state secrets remain within the Motherland. Coalition assets across the Omega Region have been notified and New Moscow is on full alert for the traitor to the cause. Should citizens spot this individual they are not to approach her, inform the nearest member of the Commissariat and remain indoors. She is considered to be heavily armed and dangerous.

"Drama on the floor of the State Duma today as members of the Re-Unionist Faction of the Communist Party, whose platform is based upon acquiring peaceful relations with the Houses rather than conquest or radical replacement of the House's Governments, got into what appeared to be an intense argument turned fisticuffs with members of the McIntoshists who advocate radicalization of the Coalition and it's Fighter Corps and Coalition Domination over Sirius through violent Revolution, terrorist strikes and open warfare. The brawl went on for five minutes before the Kremlin's security force could separate the Deputies and restore order in the Duma. Katzists stood to the side during the fight alongside Premier Warner while Security was notified. What triggered the argument is apparently due to a motion made by the Re-Unionists to open communications with the Kingdom of Bretonia to establish a permanent peace between the People's Republic and the Kingdom of Bretonia, the McIntoshists, whose spiritual founder Grand Admiral McIntosh a well known Bretonian defector, took offense at the motion due to the ramifications of such a plan would stand against what their founder stood for in the first place and initiated the ensuing brawl on the Duma floor. The Katzists, long seen as reformists and more democratically aligned members of the State Duma, declined to comment on such a motion. We attempted to get in contact with Premier Warner however his office informed VNA that the Premier was in a meeting and could not be disturbed. In other news Colonial Efforts on Estergebirge continues onwards with the Ugam Mining Colony in New Beijing, atmospheric conditions necessitate the use of Environmental Suits due to harsh planetside conditions. The Coalition Colonial Initiative hopes to establish mining operations to fuel the Coalition's economy within the year, 800 Coalition Colonists and local Military Personnel currently call the volcanic planet home.

"As Volgograd's summer prepares to come to a close the Domed Cities prepare for the upcoming winter months and with that harsh snowfalls and blizzards that freeze any unprotected individual. Yet in the Kremlin building the State Duma is not discussing autumn preparation plans this session, instead the State Duma released a statement signed by the Premier on the status of the system known as 'Cayman'. A system bordering Omega-49 and long since considered a potential area of Coalition expansion after New Beijing. The Duma voted a majority of changing the system's name to reflect it's future in the Coalition as an potential asset to the Economy and Security of the Republic's borders. The system will no-longer be recognized by the Coalition by it's house designation of 'Cayman' but will only be recognized as the Kiev System, even now maps inside the Coalition are being changed to reflect this new policy of the State Duma and the People's Public School System is now required to incorporate this name into lesson plans for relevant subjects taught. Premier Warner was reached by us here at VNA who gave a statement on both the name's change and other issues being dealt with by the State Duma." Code: "This change has been long overdue in my opinion, for far too long we have indulged house-aligned forces currently living in Kiev who actively work against us by referring it to their designation instead of a proper Coalition designation for a future asset. Soon Kiev will join the Coalition state as a proper oblast or administrative division in Sirius Standard, it is only a matter of time before the People's Banner is proudly seen on every station and planet-side facility within the system, our Revolutionary Army and it's associated bodies even now assure me and the State Duma that the system shall become a prominent asset to our people. The Coalition Colonial Initiative has echoed the Premier's statements on the Ugam Mining Colony's progress but has also declined to share the initial results of the Survey until it has compiled a full report and begun mining operations. It hopes to reach out to Red Hessian experts who are skilled in mining dangerous environments for advisors and equipment modifications as needed."

"Today the Revolution in Rheinland struck a major blow to the House Infrastructure, the Facility of Solitaire Metropolis in the Stuttgart system after being discovered to be aiding the Federal Government, which continues to oppress it's working population, in the construction of war materials was subjected to an all out-assault by both the Red Hessians and ships of the Coalition. Being defended by both Federal Government personnel who were misled as to the purpose of the facility being 'Civilian' in origin as well as mercenaries contracted to supplement their forces the Revolutionary Fleet punched through both the hostile defenders and the automated weapons systems installed on the station in question. Eventually the Federal Government forces were routed from the area in and the facility was destroyed along with all it's manufacturing facilities onboard, proving to be a solid victory for the Revolutionary Forces arrayed against the corrupted Federal Government of Rheinland who will have to seek other sources for manufacturing war materials. In other news the search for criminal ' Pimakhova' continues onwards, the Ministry of Truth has released it's conclusion that the notorious traitor managed to somehow leave New Moscow into the greater Sirian Sector. Patrols of the Revolutionary Army are continuing the hunt outside of Coalition Space and are confident that she will be caught within the month according to our sources in the Army. Pimakhova is considered to be heavily armed and extremely unstable. Citizens of the Republic and friends abroad are advised to take extreme caution upon sighting of this individual, do not attempt to approach her unless members of either the Revolutionary Army or the Commissariat are present and extreme force has been authorized in her capture. Finally the JiangXi Planetary Administration has begun construction on a Docking Ring in order to facilitate easier access to the JiangXi Colonies for both Coalition Biohazard Containment teams involved in the clean-up of the planet's landscape in addition to friends of the Coalition either aiding with the restoration or on holiday to one of the Coalition's Green Sector colonies such as Santiago Island Colony or Le Arcadia. The project represents a significant investment by the People's Republic and it is the hope of the Republic that the construction of a docking ring will save both fuel costs and allow greater amounts of cargo to be shipped to and from JiangXi to offset the costs against the Coalition's Economy."

"Volgograd Industrial, a Corporation run by the State to ensure production and distribution of goods and services to the citizens of the People's Republic and overseen by the Ministry of Plenty. Under the guidance of the State Duma and Ministry of Plenty, Volgograd Industrial has improved the factory quotas of both JiangXi and Volgograd in addition to ensuring Coalition Citizens are able to acquire both common goods and luxury items rarely seen before the New Economic Policy (NEP) brought in by former Premier Alvin Katz. The State-Run Corporation has recently announced that by the grace of the State Duma and Revolutionary Army it will be permitted to take over as administers of Zhukovsky Station. Zhukovsky, which has long been a major port for civilians and foreign commerce, will likely continue to see members of the Revolutionary Army onboard to ensure security of the Republic while members of Volgograd Industrial ensure the facility continues to run efficiently and continues to be a shining example of the strength of the New Economic Policy. In other news The Katz Institute has released it's analysis of the weather patterns of Planet JiangXi. According to the Institute winter will likely come earlier than last year to the recovering world which means colonies such as L'Acadie will likely see snow-fall as early as October. Colonies near the equator such as Santiago will otherwise be unaffected and continue to enjoy warm sunshine and breezes year around. The Coalition Colonial Initiative has released that deposits of Platinum and Copper along with other metals have been reported in their survey results planet-side on Estergebirge, the Ugam Mining Colony however continues to suffer casualties as a result of the planet's aggressive weather. In orbit survey teams discovered isotopes of Uranium contained within the asteroids, while this makes travel to and from the planet difficult without proper shielding it also represents an opportunity for Volgograd Industrial to expand it's mining efforts to include orbital mining. However it is unclear if the State Duma will authorize mining efforts in orbit at this time.

"Bretonia was dealt another blow by the Kingdom of Gallia with the final assault and capture of Planet Harris, Bretonia's on-going Terraforming Project that has been a major flashpoint during the Kusari-Bretonia war which saw a large Kusari force being disabled by a mine-field set up by the Bretonian Armed Forces and lured the Kusari Naval Forces to their deaths. With the loss of Planet Harris Bretonia has lost one of their remaining known assets in the Tau Region, solidifying Gallia's hold upon the system until further notice. While the Ministry of Truth is unsure as to the future of Harris it is possible that Gallia may continue the Terraforming project under their assets in EFL, a corporation of Gallic origin to further secure their position as a major power in the Taus through the prestige the completion of such a project could entail. The Kingdom of Bretonia's response has not been made public as of yet however it is likely that the Kingdom is now feeling highly pressured with the loss of a highly valuable project and facility in the Taus. In other news the citizens of Omega-49 can rest easier this night with the strengthening of the Triumvirate's position with the establishment of a secured facility by the Mollys of Dublin in order to curb attempts by the Corsairs to retake the system. Even now Coalition and Molly pilots frequently utilize the facility to patrol the Protectorate and ensure Corsair Raiders are kept at a minimal. In the State Duma there is talk of deporting the Corsair Colony on Gran Canaria, however due to the regional politics it is unlikely to proceed. In other news Newcastle has been seeing a heightened Coalition presence, strike craft have been sighted in the system assisting Molly Separatists against the local Bretonian Crown elements. the Coalition High Command while it has declined to comment on this matter has stated that 'The increase of aid to our allies is connected with the eventual liberation of Newcastle from the corruption of the Bretonian Crown, that is all we can say due to reasons of National Security.'.

"Orbital Spa & Cruise, supposedly a corporation dedicated to the catering of those who seek to get away from their 'dull & mundane' lives apparently has criminal leanings. The Coalition People's Warship 'Lenin' encountered a Spa & Cruise vessel in the Omega-49 Protectorate, normally this is not a cause for any concern. Except the Captain refused to yield to the standard proceedure of a cargo-hold scan. Why would a Captain of a luxury vessel not comply with this request? The answer was shocking even to the Coalition's top minds who uncovered stores of Artifacts onboard. The shock of a legal entity hauling dangerous and controversial goods from the direction of the Corsair Empire is one that baffles the Ministry of Truth. Has Spa & Cruise decided to support the Empire in it's hateful expansion in the Omegas and beyond? Are the Houses blindly turning an eye away from corporate corruption in their midst for the sake of political goals? In response the cargo was seized and destroyed to ensure the safety of the citizens of the Omega-49 Protectorate and those beyond who would have received these dangerous artifacts, Spa & Cruise now faces severe scrutiny within the Coalition as both a supporter of the Corsair Empire and for their actions of hauling such illicit and dangerous cargo, using the Corporation's name as a cover for their illegal acts of smuggling. The Premier himself gave a few words in response to this discovery." Code: "The fact that a lawful entity in the eyes of many Sirians was caught red-handed in the act of smuggling is not a shock to me at all. This only reinforces the Coalition's position that Corporations must be held accountable for their cargo manifests and that strict laws put into force to ensure the safety of both Citizens and the Army who protects them. Spa & Cruise while is not to be designated a hostile entity is to be considered 'persons of interest' in the long-term battle against the Corsair Empire's smuggling operations.
