Zoners bomb Nauru, thousand dead!


Hello Omicrons, this is Valentina Rose, transmitting live from Battlecruiser "Victoria"
Literally moments ago, a zoner ship was spotted in high orbit over Nauru and it launched a prototype missile.
At this time, we don't know what technology was used, but according to reports, we lost contact with the "Ceres" Mining facility and research station.
The mining town next to it has also gone dark. We'd like to remind you that more than fifty thousand people live there and by the looks of it, Ceres is now a ghost town.
We have Jessica Scarlet, Guildmaster Daniels' surrogate for the time being.
Ms Scarlet, who's responsible for the act of terrorism?

First, I'd to like to reassure you that this won't impact the Core's military operations.
The facility produces refined Iridium and as such, is not crucial to combat ops.
However, this...atrocity that was committed only proves our point. The Zoners and their allies are not the peaceful sheep that they pretend to be.
Our actions were justified, while their actions are not. We were once again provoked and threatened in our own space.
We estimated the losses to be between five hundred and two thousand men and women from all around sirius.
Employees who were not soldiers, nor from the intelligence. They were just honest miners, trying to make a living.
Now if you excuse me, I've to make a few calls and get the Guildmaster back in this mess.
- Jessica Scarlet, Core.

You heard it here first! The Zoners have now officially turned to terrorism!
They were fast to abandon their diplomacy and go straight bombing civilians cities.
But one thing's for sure. I can see the fleets gathering as we speak. The Core will not be intimidated.
Our boys and girls shall prevail and we shall not bow down to petty terrorists, pseudo-pacifists, supporters of the Corsair criminal empire, warmongering "colony ship" captains, Order supporting, civilian bombing, not good for nothing mud holes.
GLORIA AETERNA!

The Guildmaster is back in action!

Hello Omicrons, this is Valentina Rose, transmitting live from Battleship "Perditrix" the newest addition to our fleets!
The ship is our Guildmaster's favorite go-to battleship.
According to rumors, our Guildmaster was heavily mutilated or even dead.
In order to dismiss them, we've decided to speak to the man himself!
Guildmaster Daniels, Sir! How are you feeling? Is it true, was your life really in danger?

Yes, yes in fact they are true. Well, some of it at least, because I'm obviously not dead. But It was a very close call, the nearest so far.
Fortunately, it wasn't brought by the enemy, no. I had a rather physical discussion with Jessebelle Fillian.
We "talked" about superiority and authority and let me tell you, what they say is true, words do hurt.
Especially if they come in the form of a oversized serrated combat knife right through the gut.
If it wasn't for the numerous implants, cybernetic augmentations and other various piece of Core-exclusive tech, I would've been dead.
Like, seriously dead.
On the upside, I've got myself a brand new arm, liver, spleen, lungs, trachea, eye and a few various minor things. I tell you, that women is one of the Core's finest warriors.
Sadly, she did not agreed with my ways and challenged my authority. I had no choice but to act. I'm saddened to say her condition has worsened and I've authorized the usage of all means necessary to get her back in the fray. We cannot afford to lose her, not now, not ever.
But alas, only time will tell.
And finally, a word to all those who follow the Core or are part of it!
Stand tall, my fellow warriors! The Core is stronger than ever and we shall prevail!

Mors non est ignominia!

- Guildmaster Jack Daniels, The Core

You heard it here first! Daniels is alive and kicking!
A whole lot people will sleep better knowing that...and much more would loose sleep over it!
Good night, people of the Core! Stay Strong!

Today's top story: Leadership changes, Core forces once again victorious and in other news exciting prospects for Planet Nauru.

This is field correspondent Richard Shaw, live from Yaren Base which transformed from an orbital transit port to a busy construction depot within mere weeks - but more on that later.

After several short lasting leadership changes Guildmistress Ruby Hydra had resigned from her position as leader of The Core, passing it on to Sentinel Andrew Frost, henceforth Guildmaster of The Core.
His new rule begins with nothing less then a devastating blast to the Corsair Empire as he personally took charge of intercepting a vanguard of enemy battleships violating Omicronis borders.

Footage

Exclusive visual footage from the supporting APM craft Aquarius-6 shows the destruction of two Murmillo class capital ships by the Guildmaster's strike wing.
Among others field legend and Guildmaster's trusted strategist Alexander Horace was honored for his exceptional performance in this battle.
This was truly a glorious victory for our outstanding war machine.

In other news, it has become official that the capital planet of Imperium Omicronis is soon to be crowned with a docking ring.
A joint endeavor of AP Manufacturing and Ageira Innovations in collaboration with Deep Space Engineering has been launched a few weeks ago and although the actual construction of the facilities had not yet begun, preparations already outrun schedule.

"It is paramount for Imperium Omicronis to further the potential of Nauru and the city of Athena. In acknowledgement of this AP Manufacturing has been honored with the task of putting the ultimate hallmark of a prosperous colony in its orbit - a venture to which we devote all our focus and effort. This project is already becoming reality as I speak."

APM Chief Executive Officer Martin McKinsey

For the past years prospects were put on hold due to political tensions between Liberty and Rheinland.
As the political arena cooled down over time the project was finally resumed with ever greater success.

This concludes the news. Richard Shaw signing off!

Today's top story: Guildmistress Loyola press conferance on Fulda attack.

I greet everyone who is watching us now, this is Richard Shaw from the Chrome palace on Planet Nauru.

This morning Guildmistress Loyola called an emergency meeting to discuss recent terrorist attack on the Rheinland territory. At least three Guildkeepers were spotted by our cameras: Ruby Hydra, Jack Daniels and Jack Burns. Guildkeeper Joe Chopperfield and Guildkeeper Cordelia Lyell were absent as it seems. This gives ground for unreasonable speculations about the split in the Core high command, but so far there is no reason to believe so.

After the meeting Guildmistress Loyola made an appearance before reporters. Having made a brief presentation of the Core position, Core high command have left the event. None of the journalists' questions was answered. Obviously, after about four hours of meeting, fatigue took its toll. And right now I am proud to announce first frames of this conferance that were ever released.

"First of all, I would like to express my sincere condolences to the families of the victims. On this day our hearts and souls are with you. I was absolutely shocked when early in the morning I was awakened by news about the fact that Rheinland is under attack from Sigmas. First thing I thought: it was the Order, since style of this attack was very similar. And we know for well all incredible malice and bitterness of this organization. We are fighting the evil of terrorism as no one ever did, considering how many of the are hidding in deep Omicrons.

But it was even more shocking with the fact that attack was performed by the Gas Miners Guild paramilitary forces. We could not expect something like this, we could not prevent it. The Core will combat terrorism until the last terrorist, no matter under which banner they are commiting their crimes. Since Gas Miners Guild is stepping on this way, they may consider our diplomatic relationships over. We do not negotiate with terrorists.

Some of our reserve forces are moving to the Sigma passage. None of them will infiltrate into our space as we are ready for more action in Sigma-15 and maybe even further. If the worst thing will happen and conflict will escalate into a war, Federal Republic of Rheinland can count on us. We cannot let such serious threat to exist on our borders without taking any actions about it.

People of Rheinland, in the darkest hour you won't stand alone."

FOR GLORY! FOR OMICRONIS!

Today's top story: Security concerns in Sigmas and Rheinland [LIVE FEED].

"I can't tell that speech made by direktor Enfield recently is insulting. We do respect BDM as it's one of our most important partners. Blaming us for pullin Rheinland into an armed conflict is just irresponsibly. We did not call Rheinland to arms even despite our operation directed to protect the Rheinland space. Geoff, are you really trying to tell me that GMG and the Order are not tired? Maybe there is some reason behind the fact that Order media are furiously protecting the GMG? You call us impuslive and unprofessional?

The Core currently is the most responsible player on SIgma theater. Our actions are justified and transparent, but there is a lot of information that we simply cannot publish. We propose to work together on ensuring Rheinland security, naturally Buro cannot handle everything. Did you background check pro-GMG lobby in your government, maybe? You claim that GMG is not tied with the Order, but things are a little deeper than you think.

The video is speaking for itself, I believe. You see Dabadoru station in Omicron Delta, it was taken over by the Order at 822A.S. During the crisis at Freeport 11, ALG ships were involved in supporting terrorist cells that were hidding behind the back of civilians. But this video was taken today. This ship was spotted next to the base, both sides seemly had peaceful intentions. Then ALG ship was covered by the fire of the Order stationary turrets and then found cover inside the base.

Think twice before trust to people who tell you NOT to protect your homespace when it being under attack. We don't mind having a proper investigation, but we cannot let terrorists to win this time. While we will be busy with paperwork, they will prepare another bloody attack. Keep that in mind."

FOR GLORY! FOR OMICRONIS!

We are interrupting this programme to bring you a Sirius wide public statement directly from the office of Martin McKinsey, CEO of AP Manufacturing, in regard to the disgusting rumors and slander towards the current Guildmistress of The Core spread by the notorious terrorist organization broadly known as The Order.

It has come to our attention that shortly after the most recent change in leadership drops of distasteful calumny have been pouring into public broadcast to bitter the image of Guildmistress Enma Loyola, challenging her spirit and her very humanity. It is by such injurious falsehood that enemies of civil freedom, righteousness and law reveal themselves fear driven and desperate, trying to draw attention away from their political failure and devastating defeat in combat - if The Order and those who misplaced their allegiance, by either siding with them or supporting them feel the need to resort to childish mischief, it only shows their bare unresourcefulness.

While The Core grows above such absurd hearsay and as we trust that the people of Sirius will in their wisdom unmistakably see this nonsense for what it is, to curb this matter once and for all, Guildmistress Loyola has willingly agreed to undergo a complete bio analysis of her body. I hereby make the results of it public for everyone to see for themselves that Enma Loyola does neither bare host to alien incubi, nor carry any traces of nomad tissue whatsoever.



Human as can be, the Guildmistress continues to wage war on terrorism, safeguarding our families, our futures and our very lives. Gloria aeterna!

APM Chief Executive Officer Martin McKinsey

Good day Sirius, I am Natasha Rayne and I'm reporting live from Omicron Delta! We're on site next to Freeport 11 and our crew just witnessed a massive attack by the Order! They have completely disregarded safety of the civilians and bombarded Port Carthage and everything around it with weapons of mass destruction. True, there was a time when the Core would've been seen doing that, but these times are long gone! We're no longer misguided and we fight for our citizen's right to live! The Order, however, have finally revealed their true colors. True terrorist, just like we've been saying for more than a decade. In the past, they begged us to make peace with the zoners and now, when we finally did just that, they came in, guns blazing! Maybe now, all of sirius will finally understand how they are no longer the so called "Protectors of humanity". Instead, the Order has turned into a Pseudo empire, hellbent on enslaving the Omicrons!

But let's go back to the attack. Ships like Svizra and the unoriginally named OCV-Osiris were present. It is likely that most of the Order High Command were at the siege, leading us to believe Golanski took part in the slaughter. If that is the case, we hope he met a very bad end and his body is still floating in space, clobbered and frozen!

That being said, it took our forces approximately 3 minutes to rally and respond, which gave just enough time to the terrorist to demolish a few colony ships. Surprisingly, IRG employed a new tactic and jumped a few of them away. This evened the odds. Six Makos and one Bullhead charged Six Osiris class battleships and a cruiser. What followed was pure horror. I truly believe all of our pilots should be imprisoned for at least two months! The way they shamelessly decimated the Order fleet was true horror! Such disrespect! It should be a crime against humanity to destroy a fleet of this size that fast! All humor aside, they did an amazing job.

The Order claims their ships are the most technologically advanced vessels in all of Sirius. Luckily, our boys didn't knew that so they rushed to the Freeport's defense.
No second thoughts, no doubts, no fear! Again, the Core suffered absolutely no losses. The Perditrix and the Sargasso were damaged, but thanks to Luke Shaw, onboard the Flagship Athena and Jawdat an'Nuss Alexander Horace of the Numidia, the counter-attack was perfectly coordinated and absolutely devastating. Those weren't the only rockstars from our side, though. Guildkeeper Jack Daniels, Guildkeeper Lyell and Guildkeeper Ruby Hydra were on the front line! All three of them responded to the call. That's how you lead by example. Take that, Order admirals!

In the end, this will most likely be the first of many attempts to end the peace in Omicron Delta, but whatever happens in the future, the foundation has been laid and our relationship with the zoners will make the Omicrons a better place for everyone. Except the Order, of course.

I am Natasha Rayne and it was my utmost pleasure to bring you these good news!
Keep up the good fight, people! For a better Sirius and for our new Guildmistress! Long Live Loyola!

Tonight's top story: Port Carthage has fallen victim to organized crime against humanity leaving hundreds dead, missing or critically injured. APM responds.

This is field correspondent Richard Shaw reporting live from Freeport 11 in Omicron Delta whose inhabitants are still processing the events of the past days. Port Carthage - a civilian mining facility administrated by a local Zoner community has been destroyed in a vile push of The Order terrorist forces supported by a Corsair battle group. Death count is still uncertain, however it is already estimated in the hundreds. Casualties are primarily non-militant civilian miners and workers operating aboard the station, as well as members of the militia scrambled in a heroic effort to hinder the impending slaughter.

The Core and AP Manufacturing have publicly condemned the actions taken by The Order and The Corsairs against the local Zoner population on several occasions, as this most recent aggression has only been the peak of their mischievous plot to strike fear in the hears of Edge World nations - threats of engaging desolating ordnance have hit the headlines in recently resurfaced, precedent statements by Grand Admiral Golański.

Guildkeeper Jack Daniels of The Core had summed up the unlawful conduct of the self proclaimed protectorate in his appearance last night:

The majority of the Order high command have strayed too far from their original goals. They are no longer the protectors of humanity, they no longer fight the common alien enemy. Golanski seeks to build an empire in the Omicrons, no matter what the cost. (...)

In response to the tragic events Cheif Executive Officer Martin McKinsey at AP Manufacturing has launched a Sirius-wide humanitarian operation christened "Blessing of the Future" to aid the survivors and families of Port Carthage victims, securing a total of 210.000.000 S.C. for emergency provisions and life saving treatment of those lucky enough to break free from death's hand. Ever since AP logistics, lawful trade companies and concerned independent traders are running vital supplies to Freeport 11 and Yaren Base in Omicron Delta, where the victims are being hospitalized and treated ad interim by deployed H+ Clinic medical personnel Apart from physical injuries, psychological aid for traumatized citizens has been secured.

While assigned APM crews are working graveyard shifts to remedy the situation on site, further provisions are badly needed. TCNS is therefore appealing to all people of good will capable of contributing to this endeavor - the people of Omicron Delta need your help. Please refer to the provisions list issued in the project announcement. Its status as of today is as follows:

Emergency provisions

Pharmaceuticals: 20.000 c.u. (20.000 c.u. left)
Food Rations: 10.000 c.u. (10.000 c.u. left)
Med-Stasis Bands: 10.000 c.u. (6.675 c.u. left)
Human Organs: 10.000 c.u. (10.000 c.u. left)
Oxygen: 10.000 c.u. (10.000 c.u. left)
Water: 10.000 c.u. (6.470 c.u. left)

Project management will keep you up to date in the aforementioned "Blessing of the Future" communication thread.

Today's top story: Nauru - once a barren, hostile planet, now the jewel of the Omicrons is soon to become the corporate headquarters of Sirius!

This is Richard Shaw reporting live from Athena City, capital of Imperium Omicronis and what is in near future about to expand into the most vivid colony within the entire Edge Worlds. Reason for that is a bold move on part of The Core and AP Manufacturing, both of which seek to establish the image of Nauru as a lucrative investment ground for diverse corporate entities. The prospect has been raised due to construction of the orbital docking facilities entering final stage. Director McKinsey issued the following statement:

The streamlined shuttlecrafts pending between Yaren transit station and the City of Athena are about to retire from their service as relics of an early colonization period in the history of Nauru. It is with great pride that we look back on the inspiring determination that had taken us where we are today - on the verge of turning long dreamt dreams into reality.

Our partners in this great venture, Ageira Innovations and Deep Space Engineering who provide vital parts and expertise confirm that the final assembly phase shall reach completion within less then a week. What follows is a series of test runs to ensure all systems are operating properly. Once technical inspections pass muster Planet Nauru will finally be opened to the public.

Trade flow and tourism are but a tip of the iceberg that constitutes the upcoming plans for our splendid capital. As the household industrial tycoon, AP Manufacturing is announcing steps for extensive planetside development. The present aim will be to make some of the vast fallow lands tidbit to foreign investors and allied corporate entities.

For a given ecosystem to grow strong enough to become resistant to cascade, it must develop diversity. When translated into economy, this scientific fact provides a natural path to follow. Planet Nauru bares an enormous branching potential and numerous investment opportunities due to large vacant areas easily transformable into research and production facilities, optimal testing grounds for technological novelties, or even corporate retreats, to name just a few. We are striving towards creating a prosperous corporate hub in the very heart of the Edge Worlds.

With these inspiring words from Director McKinsey we are signing off for now. Stay tuned for more headline issues in short. My name is Richard Shaw.

Today's top story: Dabadoru Crippled by Core Strike Force!

Yesterday at 19:00 hours, The Core struck a critical blow to The Order by bombing Dabadoru Station. It has long been speculated that The Core would soon be considering plans to phase The Order out of the Omicron Delta system. Core Forces were lead by Luke Shaw and Eliza Valdez, who guaranteed a smashing victory. Guildkeeper Daniels also joined our forces and fought beside them.
With The Order's recent attack against the Zoner populace of Omicron Delta, this attack is most likely in retaliation of that.

Many hope that this will be the start of cleaning The Order dirt out of Omicron Delta.
