    Rouge Shadows Takes a Beating

    Light aligned faction Event Horizon struck again today, in what has been a largely one way conflict with the non aligned terrorist organization Rouge Shadows. Event Horizon's dreadnought, along with other heavy assets were reported active in Rouge Shadow's territories, destroying a temporary encampment along with an unfinished battleship. High casualties and low morale among RS personnel continue to be the norm. Members have been openly questioning RS leader ObiShawnKenobi's decision making, following EH's latest offensive. For several weeks, small skirmishes, thefts and acts of sabotage have been conducted by ObiShawnKenobi and his associates.

    RS's press releases state they have the overall goal of "Crippling larger factions". According to Event Horizon's Nuclear Doughnut, ObiShawn stated that he intends to bring 44 people to the LvD galaxy to continue his insurgency.

    44 People under ObiShawnKenobi's Command would still fail to stop the Event Horizon Advance.

    4v4 Light Vs Dark Corvette Event

    Two days ago, the Galactic Authority (Rebuilders), in honor of the Goddess Bipolaria (Praise be her ever shifting presence) held a contest of skill and teamwork between representatives of the Light and Dark. Despite the light team having multiple setbacks with space-time cohesion issues they continued to fight to the bitter end despite the odds turning overwhelmingly against their favor.

    Infinite Legion Unveils New Warship

    A select group of press and Galactic Authority officials were invited to an undisclosed location earlier this evening by Lord Sidonus of the dark aligned faction Infinite Legion to witness the launch of their Imperial War Machine, a new addition to IL's already formidable arsenal. The vessel appears to be a vary large, very powerful drone of roughly 140k mass, though piloted variants may also exist. Two demonstrations were conducted at the undisclosed site, indicating significant firepower and resiliency. When asked about potential actions in the future on LvD, Sidonus replied "We'll tell Dougnut to get his ships ready, and after declaring war on almost every Light-aligned faction, there is definite grounds for an all out blockade and possible exterminatus in the near future."

    Event Horizon has just launched the prototype of a new class of Drones. Built off the classic EH-Hammer Frame we are happy to announce a successful prototype launch of a Hammer Drone.
    [doublepost=1472195374,1472192737][/doublepost]I as the Supreme Radioactive Pastry. Commander and Chief Archbishop of the Light have hereby purged all lukewarm members from "The Light". I hereby reaffirm Event Horizon's Commitment to "The Light" and ask that interested parties join us in the most glorious fight against The Dark.

    Bring your Offerings to "The Light" to burn in the Eternal Pyre of Dark Ships. (Neutral ships work too)

    Let the Light Wipe away our Inner Darkness

    Infinite Legion Blockade Lifted

    Less than an hour ago major combat actions occurred between Light and Dark forces led by Event Horizon and Infinite Legion respectively.
    The Krusty Krab, a light aligned faction was blockaded by Infinite Legion after a reconnaissance in force run resulted in the discovery and interception of a small TKK ship. It's pilot, ACHRenegade narrowly escaped the destruction of his vessel and managed to reach his home base safely. IL vessels settled into a blockade while they attempted to negotiate with TKK. After a brief exchange of words and gunfire, the manned IL vessels withdrew, leaving only a single War Machine class drone in the area.

    starmade-screenshot-0024.jpg

    Minutes later, the EH Hammer, piloted by Doughnut arrived and engaged the drone. The fight, while relatively one sided, took the better part of 15 minutes to resolve, as the much larger and slower Hammer closed to optimal weapon distance while the considerable defensive capabilities of the IL War Machine successfully took volley after volley of immensely powerful missile and beam attacks from the Hammer. Eventually the drone's defenses succumbed to the onslaught but it's immense resilience in the face of an enemy vessel many times it's own size was certainly a testament to Infinite Legion's engineering prowess. The contest for supremacy between these two powers in this galaxy is far from over.

    Roughly 20 minutes ago, this speech began to be broadcasted on repeat from Inner Light's central temple complex:

    "Most beloved brethren: Urged by necessity, I, The Pontifex of Holy Illumination, by the permission of The Gods Illustrious chief bishop and prelate over the whole Universe, have come into these parts as an ambassador with a divine admonition to you, the servants of The Light. I hoped to find you as faithful and as zealous in the service of The Gods as I had supposed you to be. But if there is in you any deformity or crookedness contrary to The Law, with divine help I will do my best to remove it. For The Gods have put you as stewards over his family to minister to it. Happy indeed will you be if he finds you faithful in your stewardship. You are called shepherds; see that you do not act as hirelings. But be true shepherds, with your crooks always in your hands. Do not go to sleep, but guard on all sides the flock committed to you. For if through your carelessness or negligence a wolf carries away one of your sheep, you will surely lose the reward laid up for you with The Divine. And after you have been bitterly scourged with remorse for your faults-, you will be fiercely overwhelmed in darkness, the abode of death.

    Although, O sons of The Gods you have promised more firmly than ever to keep the peace among yourselves and to preserve the rights of the church, there remains still an important work for you to do. Freshly quickened by the divine correction, you must apply the strength of your righteousness to another matter which concerns you as well as The Gods Illustrious. For your brethren who live in the this galaxy are in urgent need of your help, and you must hasten to give them the aid which has often been promised them. For, as the most of you have heard, Odium and Darknesss have attacked them and have conquered the territory of The Krusty Krab, surrounding their home base along with many others. They have occupied more and more of the lands of the faithful, and have overcome them in many battles. They have killed and captured many, and have destroyed the churches and devastated these worlds and systems declared holy. If you permit them to continue thus for awhile with impurity, the faithful of The Gods Illustrious will be much more widely attacked by them. On this account I, or rather Divinity, beseech you as The God’s heralds to publish this everywhere and to persuade all people of whatever rank, militia and regular, poor and rich, to carry aid promptly to those faithful and to destroy that vile race from the lands of our friends. I say this to those who are present, it meant also for those who are absent. Moreover, The Gods command it.

    All who die by the way, whether by star or by pirates, or in battle against the pagans, shall have immediate remission of sins. This I grant them through the power of The Gods Illustrious with which I am invested. O what a disgrace if such a despised and base race, which worships demons, should conquer a people which has the faith of omnipotent Light and is made glorious with the names of The Gods. With what reproaches will The Gods overwhelm us if you do not aid those who, with us, profess the ways of The Holy Light? Let those who have been accustomed unjustly to wage private warfare against the faithful now go against the infidels and end with victory this war which should have been begun long ago. Let those who for a long time, have been robbers, now become knights. Let those who have been fighting against their brothers and relatives now fight in a proper way against the barbarians. Let those who have been serving as mercenaries for small pay now obtain the eternal reward. Let those who have been wearing themselves out in both body and soul now work for a double honor. Behold! on this side will be the sorrowful and poor, on that, the rich; on this side, the enemies of The Gods, on that, their friends. Let those who go not put off the journey, but mine their worlds and collect resources for their warships; and as soon as the building is over and the time comes, let them eagerly set out on the way with The Gods as their guide."

    Hmmm.....a highly developed use of words to confuse and control.

    Guys, we're looking a false utopia and/or dystopia.

    When's the doomed rebellion start, anyway?

    The Rebuilders Galactic Authority, Department Of Commerce has issued a warning to it's citizens of the risks of travel to the attached coordinates and surrounding areas due to the unpredictable security situation along the Light and Dark border regions. All factions of neutral alignment, and other civilian traffic are advised to avoid the following coordinates and areas immediately surrounding:

    29,25,1

    14,10,-2

    -5,10,-15

    -28,-8,-12

    7,-2,35

    -3,5,29

    10,39,0

    Continued political and military tensions between Light and Dark factions and their contracted affiliates pose the threat of possible renewed conflict on a larger scale. Due to regional sensitivities, the Authority also recommends against travel to the border region with the Vaygr Empire.

    I would also recommend staying away from IL and EH space. Weapons tests are continuing (despite the bugs)

    New Gate System Opens

    The Trading Guild has completed construction of the first stage of it's gate nexus, located at 1, 23, 4 . Two routes are currently available, connecting to the Elysium-Alae region (Home of factions such as New Elysium and Mechanical Wings among others) and the Ursus-Trieste region (Home of The Order of Bogatyrs, Edgy Emos, and Hausboat Navy). As more areas of high economic value are discovered and/or developed, additional connections of both a primary and secondary nature will be added.

    Skirmish in Per

    Despite the recent lull in hostilities between Light and Dark forces all is not totally quiet as evidenced by a recent flare up in the Per system, home of New Elysium. During a shakedown cruise following a major maintenance cycle, the 2nd and 3rd NE Battle Groups under the command of LoneBlueWolf stumbled upon an estimated group of 9 to 11 Destroyer class drones (1.8k) lying in ambush only two sectors away from the New Elysium home base. Three fighters (2 490, 270), a point defense drone(36) and a cargo delivery pod were the only losses suffered by New Elysium. The entire Outer Darkness task force was destroyed, though there were accounts of possible escapes. When asked for comment, Lone replied "Two can play at that game."
