Our top stories this week
The New Anglian Confederation has accepted Federal Stats Europa's invitation to vacate its installations on the Outer Rim planets of Orgoth and Stella. Analysts predict this move by the NAC to be in preparation of a complete withdrawal from the sector following renewed hostilities between it and the Islamic Federation. As Jez Goodwin reports, an NAC spokesperson recently commented "Stella is traditionally EnerCorp territory, who founded the first colony there some 150 years ago.
The NAC would have been glad to lend support to our newfound friend but our resources are required elsewhere at present. We will endeavor to return to Stella as soon as we can as many of EnerCorp's citizens hold dual NAC citizenship and it saddens us to have to abandon the planet at this time. Indeed we are all familiar with how complex and dangerous travel to the Outer Rim has been for some decades as the galactic warp storm, Manfred, intensifies and wanes unpredictably conflicting with the main routes to the sector, thus we have thought it best for now to concentrate our efforts elsewhere"
Thus no admission of renewed conflict was made but UNS will be sure to keep you posted on these important developments.
In other news, the FSE celebrates the cessation of its hostilities with the Oceanic Union and a return to what both sides deem a "profitable and lasting relationship founded on the respect of one another's dominions". This important item of news confirms what analysts and the United Nations Space Command had been auspicating since the FSE made a move on OU's first Outrim settlement on Stella.
Indeed we, and all citizens of the Outer Rim, hope this will be a lasting and peaceful relationship as this is certainly not the first time these two two factions have clashed.
Further to his declaration he was not implicated in any form of corruption, EnerCorp Chairman Ken Young has accepted the corporation's offer to remain on at the helm for another term. The founders of Stella's first colony, Forgia Primus, have again been confirmed as the galaxy's largest single energy provider in a recent UNX stock exchange analysis - and for that we congratulate both our EnerCorp sponsors and Mr. Young.
Xuran Planetary Governor Jules Von Bitten is said to be ecstatic with the results of an independent confidential report, due to be released in a few weeks, reporting the crime on rate on Xuran to be now the second worse in this sector of the Outer Rim. Indeed its traditional position as the Outer Rim's most violent planet was lost when civil war erupted on Kaine II last May. As you will recall we have had no opportunity to report from Kaine II for some months now as Manfred continues to impede contact with the planet and analysts unfortunately predict ESU may condemn the planet to nuclear extermination once contact is made again if the situation has degenerated to the point many fear.
Lastly the entire Outer Rim but, in particular, New Israeli citizens and armed forces can at last breathe a sigh of relief in preparation for the holy Islamic month of Ramadan, due to begin in only a few weeks. This ancient celebration heralds the cessation of hostilities, for one month, involving both the Saeed Califate and the Islamic Federation as well as members of the Pan African Union.
From Martha Thomson Jones, this is all for this week. We thank EnerCorp for its continued and benevolent government of Stella and the other Outer Rim planets blessed with its patronage and welcome you to join us again next week for more news from United News Service - bringing the Outer Rim to YOU and proudly sponsored by EnerCorp.
