The Colonial Republic assist Kusari in the conflict
NEW TOKYO -- 817 A.S. -- In these moments of uncertain future the Colonial Republic and the House of Kusari signed a friendship pact known as the "Treaty of Tau-29".
The Treaty of Tau-29 is aimed at bringing new strenght to our conflict with the Bretonia Armed Forces and also to ensure an improved security grid to Kusari' western borders.
As a result of this treaty a battlegroup composed of Kusari Naval Forces and Colonial Navy ships have recently attacked the Battleship York,
key target guarding the Bretonian Station of LD-14 in the Seto Sector, Upper Leeds.
Due to the strong resistence encountered our forces were not able to destroy neither to inflict relevant damage to the ship even with Colonial help.

Though we all know about the Corsair threat to Bretonia and the ongoing conflict with Kusari which threatens to devour the House completely, few people outside Bretonia have heard of the internal political struggle that has been weakening the House since the beginning of this year.
Former Home Secretary Lord Anthony Grenville passed away today within a maximum security cell inside the HMS-Grimsby in Newcastle. Grenville, being accused of abuse of power for personal gain, or a lesser charge of treason in the Bretonian Parliament, committed suicide using a dinner plate and scalding mashed potatoes to first gouge a hole in his throat, then seal his throat by using the mashed potatoes as a type of cauterizing tool. With his airways blocked, the former Home Secretary suffocated before a medical team could be called.
Though the suicide only proved that Grenville had indeed been guilty of his charge, the case was simply a formality. Upon review, several of his bills, including the cutting of the HMS-Norfolk's staff by one tenth, were clear abuse of his power for his own personal gain. Some are even starting to wonder why Grenville was put into his position in the first place. Even so, his service will not be missed.
In related news, Police Commissioner Aidan Greene has also been arrested. Found today charging a freelancer with fictitious crimes, he too is subject to charges of treason and incompetence in the field. When asked about his charges, Greene responded with "I don't know what is going on, but I know that I won't be in the Newgate forever. I'll get out sometime, and when I do, I'll get that pirate. He shot me and I am very bitter about it. A grudge one thousand times over." Apparently these charges were not unfounded either.
It is yet unclear as to who will be appointed Home Secretary by Parliament, and in turn, who will be appointed Police Commissioner. For now, all the rest of Sirius can really do is watch and hope for Bretonia's continued future.

It was a tragic day on Manahattan when a group off terrorists attacked and blew up several building in the Michigan district, not far from the capital city. The local athorities reported atleast a hundred dead and another hundred injured, we have reports still comming in on the attack.
Today at 21.00 sightings off two Borderworld attack ships, was spotted above the district off Michigan, the district that held the National Museum of history, and has been long seen as a glorious part off the Liberty Capital Planet, the two fighters circled over the area off the Museum, but it wasnt until shortly after 21.10 the ships moved, according to locals that survived the attack, the two ships seamed to be waiting for something, they dove down and launched missiles at the building and at the streets surounding the Museum, the image shown above, was taken from a civilian that survived the second volley off missiles. This man a Peter Henrikson, was later interviewed by one off our reporters.
"It was terrible! I saw a man get shot into the air only to crash down and die!"
The man is now treated for mild injuries in the local hospital.
Reports confirm that one off the ships landed and went inside the Museum of history and was in there for more then 20 minutes, Police athorities have yet to publish a statement to this.
As the ships left orbit, they shot down several freighters and transports in orbit, one off the Freighters captains survived by ejecting himself in a life pod, he also sent in this image off the attack in orbit off Manhattan.
They later vanished from sight.
Liberty Navy is yet to publish a statement off this terrorist attack, but many belive that this is yet another coward attack by the Rheinland millitary.
BREAKING NEWS! RHEINLAND ATTACK ON WILLARD RESEACH STATION, 'IMPORTANT' DATA LOST, 21 DEAD, 6 INJURED, OFFICIALS CONCERNED THAT BRETONIA MIGHT BE INVOLVED
California, 05.10.817 A.S.
Confirmed reports have just came in that Willard Research Station, a base conducting top secret and highly important research for Libertonian officials, indicating that it was raided by an unidentified Rheinland corvette and its marine crew at 7:34, yesterday evening. The LNS Kearsarge and the arriving two LSF escort wings were too late to catch the intruders, who managed to take 'important data' with themselves.
"The floating wrecks of Guardians is what got through to us first. A whole wing of our men, turned into wreckage, they never stood a chance. We all knew immediately that it was the work of Rheinlanders." -Captain David Ferguson, commander of the LNS Kearsarge.
The LNS Kearsarge, assigned to guard the research station after the attack.
The Rheinlanders managed to complete their job in under 10 minutes, which was the confiscation of the 'important data', as Supervisory Agent Kyle Lopez from the LSF keeps referring to, however the Agent refuses to tell what exactly is gone.
"Yes, the Rheinlanders did take some important data, I'm not allowed to tell what exactly, as it is highly classified. However, there is no reason for public unrest, our enemies cannot use the information against us and the Liberty Security Force will do its best to track down and neutralize the ship, as well as to prevent any further cases the Rheinlanders might attempt." -Supervisory Agent Kyle Lopez, Liberty Security Force.
The corvette used the cover of the nebula to avoid the security perimeter, which gives shelter to Willard Research Station aswell. According to witnesses, the ship got remarkably close before it was fired upon, it was most probably equipped with a unique sensor jamming device. The Rheinlanders managed to catch the security patrol off guard and destroy them without suffering remarkable damage. It quickly drifted to the station's airlock and wielded the hangar door open.
"I definitely recall looking at the radar screen. There was not even a trace of the corvette before it got into weapons range. I dropped my coffee when Smith shouted 'Sir! Incoming Rheinlander ship! Distance..... Four clicks!' I signed the Major that we have contact, but we were too late to man the turrets. The ship was already at the airlock." -Staff Sergeant Michael Thompson, Willard security.
The station's security was scrambled immediately, some of staff even got down to the hangar to greet the enemy Marines with gunfire. They didn't stand a chance. The Rheinlanders managed to kill five and heavily injure one security staffer without a single loss. They proceeded deep into the station with killing several more Willard armed personell, who were disorganised due to the unexpected attack on their base.
The only camera recording LSF published, three of the intruding soldiers can be seen, preparing to breach a laboratory door.
"These guys... take my left leg if I'm wrong, they were MND. We had the advantage, we were in cover when they entered the hangar, with all our guns pointed at their direction. The moved like, I dunno.. tigers. As soon as they entered, they dodged to the nearest cover and gave out the most precise shots I've ever seen. Those bastards massacred my whole squad, but I don't know if anyone could make them pay for it. 'Lucky I survived." -Corporal Jake Garner, Willard security, survivor of the hangar incursion.

As soon as the Rheinlanders took the 'important data', they ran back to their ship double time, which left off at once. The station's turrets were still not all manned and the corvette managed to escape relatively unharmed.
LSF officials are now trying to track down the unknown corvette, so far unsucessfully. The Californian borders were placed under Naval lockdown, every ship going in and out of the system will be searched. Noone seems to know anything about the attack and the ship at all.

Another thing currently under investigation is the mistery how exactly the Rheinlander cruiser managed get through to the almost farthest Libetronian system away from its 'Vaterland'. Since it's literally impossible to sneak through Bering (Houston), Texas and New York in a gunboat without being detected by either the Rogues or the Liberty Authorities, most officials suspect that the intruding corvette used aid from the Bretonian authorities.
"We never have and will never, I repeat never aid any of the sides participating in the Rheinland-Liberty war. Bretonia has its own fight to worry about and we've always been doing our best to preserve the House's neutrality concerning the other conflict. Liberty has no right to accuse us with aiding Rheinlander efforts at all." -Spokesman Richard McCurrey, Bretonian Ministry of Defence.
McCurrey on a meeting with Gibson, a Libertonian diplomatic representative.
Although Bretonia denies and Liberty doesn't want to openly accuse a neutral House, it is only rumoured that the LSF carries out an investigation concerning the topic.
One thing is certain. The Rheinland government is responsible for the attack, as the corvette was one strictly used by Military forces only. Officials from Rheinland wish not to comment the subject for this article, although they never denied that the attack was ordered by them.
Will the people responsible for the death of 21 people, the destruction of official property and the violation of Liberty space ever turn up? Will there be another attack? All that is to be covered in the next issue, follow up.
The Zoner consulate on Planet Erie has just announced that a resource crisis is currently underway on a remote Zoner Freeport located in the Yukon system. A fouled docking maneuver with a Zoner re-supply ship triggered a faulty failsafe resulting in the bases critical water supplies to vent into space, leaving reserves at critical levels and delicate hydroponics on the verge of failure.
The consulate has promised considerable fiscal reward to any vessel willing to take water to the beleaguered outpost until such a time that her stores are replenished.
The Zoner consulate on Planet Erie has just announced that the support provided by countless freelancers, Zoners, Bowex and the KOF were able to successfully maintain the station's delicate agricultural process until the Liberty Government was able to dispatch a Deep Space Engineering supply and repair flotilla lead by the DSE)Radiance, a barge carrying stores of water more than sufficient to restore reserves.

----News Bulletin----
--Message Begins:
Earlier Today, Lori Silversmith of the Zoner Ore Extraction Inc. resigned officially after a series of events leading her to realize that she was not the right woman for the job. The other two members of the Leading Trio in the ZoE merely stated that "We realize she was incompetent and unable to handle the stresses of Administrating such a large corporation. She Overstepped her bounds and that is not acceptable." The press currently does not know where the Ex-Administrator has disappeared to as of yet but it has been speculated that she returned home to Bretonia.
The ZoE has promoted Eric Goldsteen to replace her as Administrator of the rapidly growing company. The ZoE has yet to release any background information on Mr. Goldsteen besides that he was the Vice President and will do the job nicely.
