First of all, we are not backed by any bigger organisation as we are an independent news faction that obtain and release any bigger news worth a peek! Check our first issue and have fun with us.

"Junkers in Kusari - why we hate them?"
The problem of the organisation known as the Junkers is widely known to all the Sirius. They cause problems everywhere, but who else would pick up a fight against someone, who takes care about all the scrap made after colonization efforts? They are literally everywhere - except Kusari. A known fact to everyone. We are however thankful to our humble protectors, Black Dragon Society - known also as Hogosha - that they protect us from those hyenas flying everywhere, even there where are not allowed. This alone however, made that organisation akin to terrorists - as RKS states, the Junker attacks on transport ships in Kusari are very frequent but our peacekeeping forces will now put an end on these acts of this so-called society.

"Bretonia and Kusari - new future?"
On August 24th Kusari and Bretonia will try to achieve the unthinkable two years ago: a fundament under the new era of peace and prosperity between those two houses, who waged the Tau Wars in not so distant past. Nothing much is known however, even if it is a common knowledge about all the examples of successful cooperation between Kusari Republic and Kingdom of Bretonia. The forementioned meeting is supposed to take place in Cortez System, nearby Planet Curacao - a symbolic place not only for Kusari and Bretonia, but also a memoriable place of signing the Curacao Treaty between nations of Liberty and Bretonia.

"Kyushu-Tomioka Alliance - who they are?"
This small sub-faction that emerged out of nowhere in Kyushu system became a very interesting player of the Kusari economical arena. In fact - despite being technically part of the Samura Heavy Industries and opposed to the another keiretsu, the Kishiro Technologies - this small faction of mercenaries, farmers and traders still try to establish the positive relations with both Kishiro Technologies and Gas Miners Guild - what on the other hand is replied with some distrust and cold attitude. However small, this acceptance seems to be enough for KTA faction as three-way pact may become the main thread who would finally bring peace to everlasting rivality between Samura and Kishiro.

"Goguryeo Restoration Project"
Kyushu Trade Alliance has agreed on supporting the new project that includes the minority of Kusari (estimating about 3 million of citizens with stated nationality or ethicity than Kusarian/Japanese), whose roots comes down to the Ancient Earth. The recent events however and feel of more independence after the change in the Kusari government lead the major group in Kyushu System to ask Kyushu-Tomioka Alliance for support on their efforts in showing that there is a minority in Kusari, surely excluded back then by the Empire of Kusari for centuries. Park Su-Yeong (ku. name: Suyeono Paruku), the unformal leader of the so-called Sirius Koreans, negotiated a fair amount of the money and full support during this suprising awareness raise about the ethicity that dates back about 1000 years ago.

"Tanzaku lost!"
KTA has lately lost one of their vessels, Akegata Class, due to the pirate raid in Sigma 13. The vessel is nowhere to be found, yet the recent official reports of Kusari Teritorial Police states that Tanzaku is likely used by the terrorist faction known as Blood Dragons. This is a second great loss for KTA - before the KTA became a cooperational faction between Kyushu and Tomioka farmers, Amaterasu, Condor Class Gunboat, was lost in Sigma 13, being only found as a hollow hull with no equipment onboard by Gas Miners Guild faction. KTA leadership already send a request to Samura Heavy Industries for construction of similiar vessel, yet the name is yet unknown. For now, KTA is ultilizing the smaller transport ships.

"IMG and GMG"
Some unofficial reports from the Kusari borders. Independent Miners Guild and Gas Miners Guild has began the cooperation. This however is only an exchange of the members between IMG and GMG, however the recent warming of relationship between both may lead to some kind of the alliance and full cooperation between two independent mining corporations, which are the only ones that spans their infliuence all over the Sirius.

Kusari-Bretonia Talks
Today, Republic of Kusari and Kingdom of Bretonia will be negotiating about future relations between those two political bodies that ceased hostility after Kingdom of Gallia invasion upon Taus and into Bretonia territory. The fleet is estimated to hold at least dozen Kusari vessels. They will be passing through Republic of Liberty territory after Kusari and Liberty governments agreed about presence of KNF military escort. Their goal, as it was written in other issue, is Planet Curacao in Cortez System, where Kusari and Bretonia representatives will meet. The fleet will move slowly from New Tokyo, through Shikoku, Keppler (or Galileo), then though Colorado, New York and Califoria. There is probability that Liberty Navy and Liberty Police Incorporated may be present at meeting in Cortez System as well, due to the fact that Cortez, despite being independent system, is influenced by both Republic of Liberty and Kingdom of Bretonia, due to the Treaty of Curacao.

Bombing in Kyushu
Our headquarters and city on planet Kyushu was a target of the brutal and lethal bombing that occured in Yosuano city at August 22th. This terrorist attack shut down the local communication and caused a lot of damage. Estimated over 400 people died with other 1 500 injured. They RKS and KNF has not made any commentary in this matter. Another bombing took place in Capital city of Kyushu during the signing the threaty between Goguryeo minority and representatives of Kyushu-Tomioka Alliance - the second attack took another 20 lives and 70 people were injured. So far, no terrorist organisation admitted those unprovoked and unthinkable attacks in Kyushu.

Estimated death toll:
Yosuano City: 400 people dead, 1 500 injured. Probably fuel-vaccum bomb.
Kyushu Capital City: 20 people dead, 70 injured. Conventional bomb.

BREAKING NEWS: Kusari and Bretonia Treaty
Yesterday, Kusari Republic and their hosts in Curacao, Kingdom of Bretonia, have signed the new treaty that would revive the pre-war relationships and trade connections between those two houses. Unlike previously planned system-by-system route, the Kusari Diplomatic Fleet made direct jump to Cortez, using Jump Drive on one of KNF vessels. The jump itself went smoothly.

Kusari delegation was welcomed on Planet Curacao orbit by BMM vessels, then Gateway, Bretonia Police and Planetform were joining the trade summit one by one. However, the talks were distrupted by Xeno Alliance, who shot down two Kusari vessels and few vessels under Kingdom of Bretonia flag. After a desperate request, Liberty Navy came as well to protect their Ally's business - taking away Xenos from diplomatic fleets.

Despite the fact of few vessels shot down, Gateway, Planetform and BPA were ready for signing the treaty with Kusari delegation, what went smoothly - both sides made a toast and exchanged first goods as a token of good will. After a second Xeno Alliance attack, Bretonian and Kusari diplomats parted their ways - hopefully the signing was already finished. After few other problems and short visit on Planet Curacao, Kusari Diplomatic Fleet went back to New Tokyo.

The trade summit itself was signed, in a symbolic place where Treaty of Curacao was signed, as a continuation of good relationship before Tau Wars.

The signing of treaty was made by:
Bretonia:
(on behalf of the Queen of Bretonia)
- Gateway Shipping
- Planetform Incorporated
- Bretonia Mining & Manufacturing

Kusari:
(on behalf of the Kusari Prime Minister)
- Samura Heavy Industries
- Kishiro Technologies
- Kyushu-Tomioka Alliance

Overseers of signing:
- Kusari Naval Fleet
- Bretonia Police Authority
- Bretonia Armed Forces
- Liberty Navy

"Why does KTA need a gunship?"
The most recent reports state that KTA with cooperation wish Samura have finished construction of the new gunship on Yokohama Shipyard, New Tokyo. However, what such a heavy escort is for? The reasons are unknown and Katsuyori Takeda, chairman of the KTA, denied any claims that KTA labeled gunship has been built recently in Samura shipyards. There are rumors however that KTA is extending their market's range and this may be the very reason for need of such heavy vessel. The recent Blood Dragon activity in Kyushu is also a reason why KTA would even consider request of such ship.

"Nebula Complex and heavy objections of the KTA"
Political and economical tensions in the recent days were on the edge of some kind of destabilization in the Kyushu System. The Nebula Complex, accused with the production of the items illegal in Kusari, was a major thorn in the inner relations in Kusari between Kusari Trade Association and Kusari Police alongside with the Kusari Naval Forces. Those issues regarding the cold attitude between KNF High Command and Malakai Yakuza lead to the heavy objections from the KTA side, as the main supplier for the base. However, as our sources report, the Nebula Complex has been destroyed, what not only met with strong objections from the leadership of the KTA, almost ending whole case in small political conflict between KNF and KTA entities. Jinpachi Saika and Yuka Shirokawa accused KNF for a major break of the law, described in the Kusari Law Codex, as there is no actual law about besieging the problematic bases. Representatives of KTA also accused the KNF for not fining Nebula Complex leadership for their actions and for unsanctioned invitation to the foreign militaries without factual voting inside the Parliment.

"I tend to believe that, those are very controversial words, The Parliment is not even included inside the doing of the Kusari Naval Forces. This is very suprising yet disturbing, because we live in the diplomatic society and I do not believe our forces should act without voting on that first. I believe KNF violated the most fundamental law of the Republic, in which KNF is the armed will of The Parliment as a whole and should not act without voting first. High Command of the KNF is indeed in charge of our fleet, but The Parliment is its superior who should decide about such operations. We do not live in the Empire anymore, where word of one person was a law." - Jinpachi Saika, KTA leadership

The Kusari Trade Association also resent a whole long document both to The Parliment itself and the Kusari High Court. Kusari Police is not included in the sue, as both parties met officially and both apologised for their actions. However, how KNF will react on such KTA objection is a great unknown, because representatives of the KTA made a good question about Kusari as the democratic Republic, where everything should be decided with voting and no unapproved actions should take place.
