"Citizens, I bring you an urgent message from the State Duma in the Kremlin Dome, this address to the Coalition Nation is neither a fabrication or mistake in your hearing. We will now play the Audio statement from the Deputy Premier and the Duma."
Code:
"Citizens of the Republic, the Premier is dead. Ben Warner, Hero of the Revolution, recpient of the Cross of the Patriot and long-standing veteran of the Revolutionary Army was pronounced dead earlier this evening by members of his Security Detail. We do not have the full details at this time on the cause of death, however we have caught the one responsible for this unspeakable act. The one involved was immediately handed over to the Ministry of Truth, the interrogation of this agent revealed they were operating under the command of the Kingdom of Bretonia, however the agent expired not long after revealing this information.
To ensure the continued security and prosperity of the Republic Field Marshal Mehmed Selim shall impose a period of Martial Law upon all Coalition assets until a time where the State Duma is able to re-organize and elect a new Premier. This period of Martial Law will be an extended period to ensure no other agents acting against the Coalition have opportunity to flee nor attempt any further acts of destabilization. Rest assured this barbaric act shall not go un-punished by the Republic and retaliatory measures are currently in the works to ensure the Kingdom of Bretonia is suitably punished."
"With the death of Premier Warner it is likely that the McIntoshists will seize upon this opportunity to acquire a majority share of the Duma's seats, the Premier being the symbol of the moderate Katzists and with his death a wave of angry citizens will likely clamor for retaliation by any means necessary while Re-Unionists will see a further decrease in their seats from this new wave of Anti-House sentiment, making peace with the Houses a dead dream politically. The Premier is expected to be interred on Planet Volgograd unlike former Grand Admiral McIntosh. While the exact details on where he will be laid to rest is unclear we have reports that one of the many Mausoleum's on Volgograd will likely be utilized to bury the Coalition war-hero."
"This is Johann Grüne bringing you the Truth at VNA"
"Almost a Month has passed since the assassination of Premier Warner, his body interred on Planet Volgograd in a Mausoleum in the Kremlin Dome and a State Funeral conducted in accordance to Coalition custom. The Republic remains under martial law as the State Duma continues to vote upon an Interm-Premier until elections are arranged across the Republic and it's associated colonies, details on the final date for the election is undecided at this time but it is likely to be before the year's end. The Ministry of Truth during this time has been industrious working alongside the Revolutionary Army in it's continued efforts to snuff out House espionage and investigate how the assassination of Premier Warner unfolded and succeeded, thus far the Ministry has declined to give any specifics on the investigation but has promised that it has made significant progress in both thwarting further attempts by the Houses to destabilize the Republic and is continuing to investigate the details on the Warner Assassination.
In other news, the Kazan System (Formerly Omega-58) is slated to be expunged of any offensive influences within a period of 3 years, the reasoning for this date is due to both manpower and time constraints that prevent an immediate purge of the hostile presence within the system, the Liberation of Kiev (Fmr Cayman System) apparently taking priority by the State Duma due to it's inhabitants current leadership being a significant threat to the stabilization of the Republic and it's territories.
Also Volgograd Industrial has announced that the State Duma has granted the State-Run Corporation additional resources to ensure the Ugam Mining Colony in New Beijing continues to be supplied and maintained as it continues to fully survey and develop the Colony into a prosperous asset. The Revolutionary Army and it's associated bodies have continued to fortify Kamchatka Base in orbit with further upgrades to the station's Defense Grid and has further augmented it with increased patrols from the Army.
With the end of the year in sight the Republic is hard at work preparing for the Winter to come, stocking up on food, water and supplies for both it's civilian population and the Coalition Military, the Ministry of Plenty has stated that while JiangXi's yields are nowhere near to where they once were, the efforts by both LWB specialists from the autonomous station Merzig Depot in addition to local Coalition assets have reclaimed a significant amount of farm-land which was immediately put to use upon reclamation to grow crops as possible.
"This is Johann Grüne bringing you the Truth at VNA"
"Good afternoon and welcome to VNA, I am Johann Grüne.
Volgograd Industrial has announced that the JiangXi Docking Ring has had it's superstructure fully constructed after months of hard work by Coalition Pioneers, they are at present preparing to install and test the software utilized by the Ring to facilitate safe passage to and from the surface. The Ring is part of an imitative by the State Duma to hasten the pace of the JiangXi Restoration Project by allowing a greater ease of flow of traffic coming and going to the surface, this will allow supplies to reach reclamation sites faster than ever before in addition to safely transporting Coalition and LWB workers to and from the sites. The addition of the Ring will also be good for the current colonies on JiangXi untouched by the disaster to receive tourists from Volgograd and nations friendly to the Republic to visit and enjoy the many safe locations of JiangXi, such as the warm tropical islands of the Santiago colony, New Hong Kong's night life or even the Gallic colony of Le Arcadia.
In other news there appears to have been an incident in Frankfurt, the Border Station 'Fulda' has been attacked with a NEMP weapon and critically damaged, the Jump Gate leading into Sigma-13 was also apparently caught in the blast of the weapon which has effectively halted the majority of traffic passing through to and from Kusari. The culprits are claimed to be members of the Gas Miners Guild but due to CNS being a Inter-House Propaganda System we are unclear as to who truly attacked and why. Sufficed to say tensions are on the rise once again in the Sigmas.
And finally, the State Duma has announced that it will be offering Field Marshal Mehmed Selim the post of Premier in the interim until the next election date. It is not known as of yet if he will accept the seat of Premier, however if he is accepted it is determined that it would restore stability to the Republic after having lost Premier Warner to the treachery of the Houses. We will keep you advised of the situation as it develops."

The content will also be limited in scope as we have had no new appointments or operations announced beyond what may of already been mentioned. Therefore, we shall begin with organizational goals which we have been met.
Like last month's report, Volgograd Industrial has finished yet another internal stretch goal. These goals are created to be able to mark progress or stagnation within the the state corporation.

For this month in addition to the appointments of the new directors and base of operations , "Iskra Outpost"; Volgograd Industrial employees have been working vigorously in achieving yet another internal stretch goal titled "Industrial Revolution". They were to bring in new employees, finish five new contracts, establish trade with at least one other group, and to finish the upgrade of Iskra Outpost.
With great success, Volgograd Industrial employees were able to complete this goal. They have finished five contracts, dealing with the Junkers, Mollys, Blood Dragons, Apostatas, and a special request by M.O.A. In addition they brought in two new employees, named "Vlad" and "Leif Olson" who have joined the Security or Logistics team respectively. Lastly when it came to establishing new trade ties, Volgograd Industrial now provides anomaly batteries on Iskra Outpost for researchers who are studying anomalies in Omega-2, in particular with a specific group. Furthermore, there is now an on-going trade of Vodka in exchange for Sake to a disclosed Junkers location located within Liberty Space. Also, Volgograd Industrial has fully upgraded Iskra Outpost to "Core-2" which has now made it a more robust station, increasing the population within the Station and allowing for more space for new construction. To conclude, an update on the financial earnings for the last two weeks.
Volgograd Industrial, was last reported to have a deficit of -41,162,500 million social credits . Which was covered by the People's Bank. Fortunately, to close this month, Volgograd Industrial when completing their contracts was able to pay back the deficit along with earning a total of 19,895,005 million credits. When comparing this month's net earnings to that of last month, Volgograd Industrial was only able to reap %16.6 of the net earnings of last month. Representing a significant slow down in economic activity for the month overall. New plans, and goals are being drafted to begin as the new month is introduced by middle of next week.

Attention Comrade Citizens of the Coalition. Special news announcement from the Duma
Transmission is being broadcasted live for this snippet. Former Prime Minister has returned to Coalition space and is delivering his speech to the current session of the State Duma Congress
Floor during the Emergency Session
" Fellow Comrades of our ever enduring Coalition. Something grave has happened during the past seven days. As you all well now by now, the former premier Selim has abandoned his post and has fled to Bretonia. And how do we know? His seat was found empty when our Commissars went to directly tell him their grievances after it was clear the entirety of the Coalition was not being listened to nor being addressed.
According to Petrov's information, he's enemies have stated that a few of us have 'coup'ed our former Premier. But when a seat is vacant at the helm of a ship, it means there is in need of a new captain. An empty seat cannot be couped, it would of required someone already in it. Therefore, I present myself in front of this Duma session, to take this position at the helm and to lead the legacies of our past Premiers and drive the Coalition into a new era.
Comrades of the Duma, hear me closely. As we speak war is on-going in our neighboring system of what we call Omega-49 but others are hearing a new name given by the occupants. Our first step has now been taken and there is no going back. All-out war has begun once again as it had once been done under Premier Ben Warner. Now while war rages, our comrades march on with their heads up high that we no longer lay dormant and that we will stand up against this behemoth. But, war is not the only thing that will change us Comrades.
For years the Premier's office has been the sole dictate of the entire direction, in all aspects of government. For years while you elected him, his power knew no boundaries - the Premier could step on any ministry's work and have no consequence less he threatened civil war or removed said minister through sheer power. Our Ministries were made with a purpose , and the purpose was so that the management could be divided among equals. Thus, the Premier will no longer speak for the Ministry of Plenty or the Ministry of Truth so long as it does not contradict our goals or stall in decision, and that the Ministry of Peace will have a restructuring to address the new times. This would be my first act.
In these new times, the Coalition needs to adapt to the circumstances it finds itself in. During the one-man dictatorship of Selim, our movement seemed Frozen, and now a Thawing out has begun. Under my leadership, the Coalition will restructure as needed to continue the on-going goal of our founding comrades, for a Sirius Wide Workers Revolution. In diplomacy , this will be our prime focus when negotiating with neighboring powers - no more submission to the oppressive Houses, Monarchies or Regimes of Sirius. 'The Struggle' will be our answer to these powers.
Long live our Workers Revolution! Long Live the Coalition!"

The Blood Dragons
Today's news report will be quite significant as a lot has happened within the Coalition government and military in the past few days. To begin, we will discuss the recent diplomatic relations between the Sirius Coalition and the Blood Dragons. Premier Gutierrez and Daimyo Nakai Shun , along with an escort of blood dragon pilots met on Iskra a few days ago to renegotiate the Shogun-Sirius Coalition treaty. The Treaty once signed by the late Premier Ben Warner, solidified our alliance between the Blood Dragons and the Coalition. Premier Gutierrez had felt that the Treaty needed to reflect the current times, and take into account the massive technological contribution that the Blood Dragons provided which was the Forward Ion cannons found in current use by all active Military Hurricane-class Battlecruisers. Therefore some key points were agreed upon by the both sides.
Coalition esocrt at Kyoto Base, Chugoku
The First was that the Blood Dragons will now provide new resources from the Kusari system and neighboring systems , such as Uranium Ore, Platinum Ore, and H-Fuel. The Second is, that the Coalition engineers will now start on active technological collaboration between both forces, allowing for access to Kusari technology and vice versa. The Third is, the Blood Dragons were given special access to visit certain systems in the Omegas which is under active control or security by the Coalition forces. Furthermore, as an act of good faith, the Premier was rewarded with Kusari Sake in which they toasted their renewed treaty. The Premier is now interested in assisting the Blood Dragons in their on-going efforts for planet Tomioka, more will be allowed to be said at a later date. Which brings us to our last segment of news.
"The Spire" battle group
The Coalition military has decided to finish the last stages of the Coalition army reform, with the integration of the Third Siberian Battle group or "The Spire", into the direct command of the field marshal and the Sirius Coalition Revolutionary Army. Therefore adding one more battle group to the grand army of the Coalition. Much discussion was had with Major Vladimir Akimnov to figure out a plan that could properly integrate them, which resulted in new Captains whom will be joining the ranks and commanding within the newly integrated battle group. Their current zone of operations will now be discussed among the SCRA High Command to see where the new battle group would be most helpful, as there is current plans being made in store for the Dublin and Exeter system following the victory of the Coalition over Bretonian forces.
