"Terrorism in the Omicrons has come once again with the unprovoked attack by Core Terrorists upon Freeport 11. Hostile alien forces in apparent cooperation with local Core Terrorists detonated a NEMP Bomb which has disabled the station's primary systems. Such a violent attack against civilians has been deemed a war-crime in the State Duma and the 'Corporation' should be made to stand trial for crimes against Humanity. In addition to this act of outright terrorism a Core Spokesperson claims to have kidnapped Zoner National Finn McCool and is holding him hostage until the Zoners capitulate to their demands. Analysts at the Katz Institute are in agreeement that this is likely an attempt to strong-arm remaining Zoners in the region into submitting to Core tyranny and ensure the Zoners are bound in servitude as a puppet government. It is unclear if the Houses will respond to these acts of Terrorism with anything but indifference, however Premier Warner has pledged to aid Zoners affected by this across Sirius and that such a violent act of Terror will not be ignored."

"Terrorism against the Zoners of Freeport 11 continues with the criminal organization known publicly as 'The Core' in a decision to starve out the local civilian populations of Delta and Gamma have initiated a blockade against humanitarian goods headed towards the Freeport and associated Zoner facilities affected by Core Imperialism. The effects of this inhuman blockade has threatened starvation and death for the locals onboard many of the stations operated by the Zoners in the region. This is another crime added to the growing pile under the designation Crimes against Humanity, the Core has shown a blatant disregard for human life in it's desire to control Omicron Delta and Kapp with an iron fist, and yet the Houses do nothing to stop this acts of aggression by the Core against it's peaceful neighbor. Rheinland and Kusari have the opportunity to bring a lasting beneficial peace yet prefer to stand by and do nothing, mired in their own policies of greed as they focus on the suppression of their own people and their expression of free will. Even Liberty who long has toted being a bastion of Peace and Justice has remained silent in this matter in favor of supporting the decaying regime of the Kingdom of Bretonia, Corporate Interests in The Core by local investors likely are influencing Liberty's decision to remain silent on the war crimes being performed in Omicron Delta and Omicron Kappa by the Core. Experts at the Katz Institute suggest Liberty may in fact be supporting the Core's efforts against the Zoner Population through financing and 'volunteers' in order to keep the conflict on-going in order to establish Core as a 'Partner' in the region to counter the influence of Rheinland in the Omicron Region. The People's Republic of the Sirius Coalition has offered safety on Planet JiangXi to displaced Zoner civilians in autonomous Oblasts (administrative divisions) planet-side alongside the Colonies already established planet-side by the People's Republic. It is unclear if any Zoner citizens have taken the State Duma up on this offer however. We will continue to monitor this event as it unfolds and bring the Truth of Core Terrorism to light.

"While the House of Liberty has not given any official comments on the Freeport 11 Crisis it does not seem to stop it's corporations from aiding Core in it's criminal ambitions through supplying goods and services. Deep Space Engineering vessels have been spotted at the Core stronghold of Yaren Base by Revolutionary Army officials, the fact a Libertonian Corporation would continue to supply and provide services to the Core Terrorists inculpates them as supporters of a terrorist regime. DSE Ship near Yaren The State Duma has not released any comments on this discovery and the Premier was in a meeting so he could not be reached at this time. In addition to this story the CPW Trotsky reports that the war against Core Terrorists in Omicron Kappa has been going well with locals rising to defend their home from the Core's murderous aggression. Revolutionary Army officials claim that the Core will soon taste the most bitter of defeats should this string of victories keep up."

"State Duma sources have confirmed during the Duma's meeting yesterday a motion was put forth to classify the Kiev System as a No-Fly-Zone for all incoming-outgoing traffic until the Coalition has secured the system as a Coalition Oblast. This would mean that only ships involved with the Military would be able to pass through without being halted, scanned and turned back. According to our sources this serves a two-fold purpose. First off it secures the region from Civilians who would likely be caught in the crossfire between the former Reaper terrorists and Coalition forces, ensuring no civilian casualties in the campaign. And secondly ensures that ships headed to Corsair Space with supplies will be forced to take a longer route around to supply the enemy War Machine, ensuring the Corsair Empire does not receive supplies in a timely manner and slowing the enemy's progress down. It is un-clear when the Coalition will be launching it's offensive into Kiev due to other fronts having forced a stalemate in the Omega Regions which will take up more supplies in holding and fortifying their positions. Nevertheless the Kiev No-Fly-Zone is considered a key part of the Coalition strategy in the fight for the system and for the People's Republic to finally destroy the genocidal remnants of the Reapers of Sirius."

"Today a petition was put forth to the State Duma from a large number of citizens of the People's Republic, reportedly having over 40,000 signatures associated with it. The topic sent the Re-Unionists into a state of rage that almost collimated into a fist-fight on the Duma floor. Kremlin Security was able to maintain order however the question was asked by our reporters 'What did the petition say?' According to our sources it was a petition to amend the Coalition's constitution to extend Premier Warner's term of office a further 5 Years. Re-Unionists who seek peaceful contact with the houses decried this as a potentially fatal mistake by the Duma if it's vote comes to pass in favor of the changes. The Katzists and McIntoshists are the primary opposition of the Re-Unionists goal of peaceful co-existence with the Sirian Houses and would oppose any bill towards a unsatisfying peace, particularly considering the Kingdom of Bretonia and the Federal Republic of Rheinland would likely commit genocide upon the citizens of the People's Republic first before any peace accord would be reached. Thus far the petition is still under discussion, however sources claim that it is likely to pass due to overwhelming support for Premier Warner and the Katzist faction of the Duma. In other news Kamchatka Station reports that shipments of materials from Estergebirge's surface are to be expected within 2 months towards New Moscow. The colony who has as of late faced technical difficulties due to the harsh nature of the Estergebirge's landscape is finally showing signs of productivity with the opening of the Ugam Mining Colony and the establishment of permanent infrastructure on the planet. Accidents planet-side are unfortunately still common due to the planet's harsh environment, however it is hoped that with the beginning of mining operations the Republic will begin to enjoy the fruits of the sacrifices made by the brave colonists.

" "The Coalition has struck a major blow against Libertonian Capitalism with a recent operation against local forces within Liberty-held space. Sources even claim a single Lieutenant managed to destroy five hostile fighters in rapid succession over the course of the operation. While the Revolutionary Army High Command has not confirmed this story they have released a statement on the operation." Code: "Our operation against the corrupt forces of the so-called 'Republic of Liberty' has indeed been making great strides, forces under the Army's command have launched raids against local garrisons within their own heartland with great success to the dismay of the local corporations who even now have a stranglehold over the impoverished working-class citizens living in the region. This latest operation has reminded Liberty that we are still here, we are still fighting for the people and we will not rest until the Coalition Banner waves over the sleeper-ship 'Liberty' on Manhattan itself." "Furthermore Coalition Recruitment is up as of late due to the recent string of victories conducted by the Revolutionary Army, a sure sign that the people's will cannot be ignored by the Houses and they soon will either be forced to capitulate to the worker's movement or be overthrown entirely. In other news the Ministry of Truth has un-earthed evidence of a possible Rheinland Federal Republic chemical weapon of mass destruction based upon the toxic gas 'Azurite', sources within the Federal Republic claim the Buro has been hard at work developing an Azurite-based weapon designed to detonate within a planetary atmosphere and disseminate the weaponized gas throughout an Oxygen-Nitrogen atmosphere. The State Duma condemned the development of Azurite-based chemical weapons and has ordered that any stockpiles found are to be destroyed safely on the spot by the Corps of Engineers."

"Sources today confirmed that the Imperial faction of the Kusari Navy has gained ground in the Kyushu system, taking orbital control of Planet Kyushu itself and beating back the Battleship Nagumo as it tried to hold it's ground to maintain control of the region for the Kusari 'Republic'. The Blood Dragon Shogunate has been unable to comment at this time. However we believe that this does not bode well for the Coalition's ally in House Kusari due to the old regime's intense hatred of the Blood Dragon movement. In other news the Ministry of Plenty has announced that due to the high incidents of Civilian deaths due to mis-identification of Military/Civilian targets by enemies of the People's Republic the Engineers of Mykolaiv have created a distinct IFF for Military Ships and Stations. The Coalition Military IFF. From hence forth the IFF simply known as 'Coalition' will refer to Civilian transports or escorts rather than the armed forces of the Republic. This will hopefully cut down on Civilian deaths due to mistaken identity. Critics claim that the IFF may be used by Militas seeking to defend Civilian interests which may lead to more violence against Civilian traffic, however the State Duma has applauded the Ministry of Plenty's actions and have ordered the installation of the IFF Transponders to begin immediately. Even now Zhukovsky, a Civilian-run facility, now transmit under the new IFF protocol while other military facilities are now being equipped with their own new transponder signals."

"The State Duma alongside the Premier has announced that containment of Omega-58 is holding within the New Moscow sector. Hostile vessels attempting to pass through are routinely eradicated by the brave men and women of the Revolutionary Army and it's associated assets. In addition the Duma has decreed that Omega-58 is to be considered a Coalition Territory despite the infestation that dwells in the area. As such Coalition Law is to be enforced within the system and once current operations across Sirius are completed focus is to be given towards our home-regions in order to burn the infestation out of our systems. In accordance with this proclaimation the Coalition's Duma discussed the re-designation of the system in accordance with the Republic's policy in order to refute House Influences in the Republic's culture. A designation for the newest addition to Coalition Territory has been agreed upon by the State Duma and the Premier's office as the Kazan System. It is expected that Coalition school textbooks and official records are to be once again altered to incorporate the new name as the accepted designation for the system. In other news the Duma intends to discuss in it's next meeting either the annexation of the Corsair Colony on Gran Canaria or the complete eviction of the local Corsair population in order to secure the Protectorate from hostile influences. There has been no mention of plans to attempt to evict the Bretonian colonists in Port Jackson as of yet however it is suspected as time progresses the State Duma will be forced to either annex the colony of Port Jackson or evict their population as well. Finally Premier Warner is expected to visit the Ugam Mining Colony to inspect their progress in extracting Planet Estergebirge's valuable mineral resources in order to fuel the Republic's campaign against the Houses and the Corsair Empire in the region. His visit is expected to last an hour onboard orbiting Kamchatka Station before spending time on the surface which is expected to last a further three hours. Security is expected to be high during this occasion with members of the Ministry of Truth and the Revolutionary Army securing the facilities beforehand."

"Premier Ben Warner, war hero and close friend of former Premier Katz, has been the subject of several rumors since he was voted into office by the grace of the Coalition citizens that make up the Republic. However one has been gaining momentum due to the Premier not being seen in several weeks by the general population, according to sources Premier Warner's health may be in decline and yet despite the best health-care and minds in the Republic being consulted has proven unable to halt this decline. This has sparked further rumours amongst the citizens living in the Kremlin Dome of a House plot to assassinate the heart and soul of the moderate cause in the Coalition in order to ensure a Re-Unionist take over of the controlling seats in the Kremlin. We have petitioned the Premier's Office for an interview in order to ascertain the validity of the rumours regarding the Premier's health but have been told that the Premier's office was unable to comment at this time. We consulted the Katz Institute on what the political landscape of the State Duma would appear as should Premier's Warner's health indeed be in decline and what would occur should his death be certain. " Code: "Premier Warner has been a stabilizing influence in the Republic, continuing the reforms of beloved former Premier Alvin Katz in addition to being a staunch supporter of the Hybrid Soft-Hard Power approach of the Katzist Bloc in the State Duma has made him incredibly popular amongst both his own Bloc and the McIntoshist Bloc. The Re-Unionist Bloc however does not approve of continued warfare with the Houses and has consistently advocated for a peaceful relationship with the Sirian Houses. Should the Premier be removed by assassination and if the Houses are implicated it is likely the Katzists and McIntoshists would only increase their grip upon the Duma in order to further the cause and make the Premier a martyr in order to fan the flames for revenge. Making any peace with the Houses a lost cause and ensuring the Re-Unionists would cease to be a political bloc in the State Duma. "We will continue to try to get into contact with the Premier's office and hopefully answer the questions plaguing the minds of many citizens in the Republic. In other news the State Duma has been called to convene in order to discuss a controversial motion made by Re-Unionist speaker James Douglas suggesting a Peace Treaty between the People's Republic and the Republic of Liberty citing that the Republic of Liberty. If this includes extending this offer to the other Sirian Houses is unknown at this time. Details are sketchy at this point in time."

"Today the Premier's Office and the State Duma have given the people of Kiev a final ultimatum to join the People's Republic peacefully and end the years of war started by the organization known as the Reapers of Sirius. It is unsure if any will accept the Republic's offer due to the Reaper's propaganda efforts against their own people who demonizes our Republic and actively drugs their own into a state where the Reaper Leadership is able to easily influence them. However humanitarian organizations across JiangXi and Volgograd applaud the chance for a non-violent solution and have begun preparations for treatment of any Kiev refugees suffering from Cardamine abuse. In addition large donations of food and clothing have been noted across the Coalition colonies in support of this effort. The people of the Coalition are eager to welcome their weary brothers and sisters split apart by the war-mongering ideals of the Reapers of Sirius for so long and embrace them as kin. Details on the Kiev liberation by the Revolutionary Army are slim, but it is known that preparations are well underway for the Army to begin troop movements. We will continue to monitor this development as it unfolds!" Ultimatum to Kiev's citizens "This is Johann Grüne bringing you the Truth at VNA" |
