This is an official notice from the Inner Phalanx.

The Battleship Arktos has since completed its final refit and re-entered service under the command of Curator Endurance and its First Officer Paladin Yancy Ganes. In addition, the Battleship Andraste has returned from its much needed repairs and joined the remainder of the fleet in its current holding pattern.

The final stages of construction on Ataraxia are nearly complete. Automated anti-ship batteries and defenses are currently offline, as is the shield generator. Botany equipment has yet to arrive. Personnel from the Sovereign that were not re-assigned to the Andraste or Arktos have been transferred planet-side to begin preparations for the reception of the City Ship population. The Titania II may later see a refit as a Mobile Base Platform.

The following rank adjustments have been made:

- Paladin Inge Wexler has been given the title of Star, due to her unparalleled dedication to the fleet and its safety, and unwavering stance in the face of insurmountable odds. She is now known as Star Paladin Inge Wexler.

The following roster adjustments have been made:

- Guardian Orlando Spiteri was expelled in accordance to a diplomatic fault. He may re-apply for his position in the future.

- Paladin Maverick O'Howell has stepped down from his position in command of the Arktos officially and has entered retirement. We wish him well in his twilight years.

- Guardian Noah Xonnel had left us some time ago, and has since decided that he has no intention of returning. We wish him well in his chosen path.

Lastly, due to the increasing size of the fleet and our forces, as well as the addition of the Andraste, we have surpassed the ability to be identified as a simple Battlegroup, and thus that title has been dropped from our name. We are Auxesia, and we will stand proud with our title.
