| THE VOTES ARE IN! ----------------- Valtan Drumm has taken his position as Planetary Subsector Governor, as well as his seat on the Senate. This unknown potentate from the Phalanges subsector narrowly beat out Admiral Mundi Strek for the position. A shock to many, this will likely swing the balance of power in the Senate away from the Cartels and Royals and into no-mans land. It should be interesting to see how decisions go in the next Senate meeting. ROYAL FLEET STRIKES BACK ------------------------ Three traitor cursers were destroyed in a sharp engagement with the Royal fleet. This comes as welcomed news to the Three Sisters subsector, as the Royal fleet is spread thin across the whole subsector trying to protect shipping from these traitorous raiders, and any loss to the enemy makes the jobs of our men in the stars easier. TROUBLE IN RHO -------------- The Eldar raids in Rho have been steadily increasing, now escalating towards total war. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to the attacks. In the recent attack, one of the subsector's prized super heavy tank companies was severely damaged and has been put out of action for some time. THE BATTLESHIP AARONS MIGHT MISSING ----------------------------------- After responding to a distress call from a research station in the outer Herkamer subsector, the battleship Aarons Might and her escorting force have gone missing. There is currently a massive search under way to find the missing ships. So far only the burning hulk of the Exciter, one of the escorting Dauntless class light cruisers, has been located, with strange blast patterns on the hull and, most worryingly, no survivors or corpses on board. The worst is feared. ++IMPERIAL ORDER #2285BZK FROM ADMIRAL TERKEL++ ----------------------------------------------- By the word of the Emperor, sectors ZZA to ZZB of the Three Sisters Subsector have been closed and put on quarantine. Any ships trying to enter shall be destroyed. WAR IN THE PHALANGES GRINDS ON ------------------------------ Many of the fronts in the Phalanges subsector have fallen stagnate. On Valderan, the new planetary governor has managed to push the orks back to the position they held at the start of their last offensive, though he has yet to recapture the capital city. The ground war on Khosh has been locked in a stalemate, as both sides struggle to control the star port. But even as it grinds on, the traitors are still running the blockade and getting reinforcements in. With his forces scattered thin across the subsector, Admiral Terkel is calling for more troops, but the Senate is debating weather it is all worth it. TRADE WITH AGRIPPA ------------------ A trade agreement has been setup with Port Blodsburg. There should be plenty of profits for all. The restrictions on tradestuffs between subsectors will also apply to this new opporunity. |
