Chaos in Leeds and Tau 31
DURHAM OUTPOST - Travel advisories were issued across the Leeds system last night following an eruption of violence. Forces from the Gallic Royalists, Mollys, Corsairs and Hogosha were all sighted converging on the system. Violent clashes around the Tau 31 jump gate resulted in its temporary closure, impacting trade to both Kusari and the Crayter Republic.
Armed Forces patrols carrying out trade supervision operations were quick to respond to the attacks, valiantly engaging the Gallic terrorists to protect civilian shipping while the Arc Royal deployed. Admiralty representatives remain tight lipped about the incident, other than to confirm that casualties were incurred while securing Bretonia's borders.
Skirmishes were also reported around Tau 31's Bara Anchorage and Holman Outpost, with an IMG source claiming that Royalist and Molly fighters had come to open blows outside the station while pursuing a Border World Exports convoy. Bowex representatives declined to comment on the specifics of the incident, instead raising concerns about the "declining security environment in the near-Taus."
Whig MP Lady Kelsie Thompson later issued a sharp rebuke of Bowex's Director of Operations, claiming that the GRN raid on Leeds had been enabled by "corporate negligence" in regards to Glasgow Outpost. Border World Exports had previously determined that repairing their old HQ would be too expensive, opting instead to establish Durham Outpost in orbit of Planet Leeds.

Classic. The government pays off some rascals to make a parade and leave, and next day parliament passes a bill to increase military spending, Our navy wants to rule the space while our buildings are collapsing planetside. Oh Bretonia, how low have you fallen?
