Lightside Militia Strikes Back
After a string of humiliating defeats the Light finally has a victory to celebrate. Lightside militia pilot, Barett Riggs and his crew, just hours after their initiation ceremony, successfully ran a Havok Clan blockade and then proceeded into Havok Clan and Dark territories, intent on vengeance. Riggs' 7.5k mass Simeon class corvette 'Hellion' destroyed multiple claim markers in dark territory, several mining craft and A 56k Narvi Class Cruiser belonging to Havok officer Horizon, who was reported killed in the attack. ObiShawnKenobi, piloting another Narvi, managed to fell the Hellion with a missile salvo after a lengthy exchange of fire. Havok's own media channels report no such losses, claiming "not a scratch to the shields", though this has been refuted by eyewitness accounts of a Rebuilders monitoring vessel which was dispatched to the scene.
New Lightside Leader Sworn In After Bloody Coup
The halls of Inner Light have once again been occupied and remaining Lightside forces now swear fealty to former ONI (Office Of Naval Intelligence) director Wyked Evil and his followers. After a breakdown in basic services to the population following increasingly destructive riots in the wake of StoneCyfer's departure, Wyked Evil, his cohorts and numerous disaffected citizens stormed the Grand Temple and brutally murdered the remnants of the interim government. No official proclamations have yet been issued from the new government but basic emergency services and food shipments have already been reestablished in the areas hit hardest by rioting and sectarian clashes. The new leader faces a daunting trial in front of him, as he has inherited the Light's state of war with the Odium Pact as well as The Dark.
