115-1106 Marduk
Reports from Marduk indicate that an Ihatei camp was wiped out by a corsair attack. Due to the lack of adequate planetary or orbital sensors in Marduk, the identity of the perpetrators is not currently known, although the Highport sensors were able to detect three ship tracks with disabled transponders performing an orbital insertion in the hours leading up to the attack. Limited data from the site is available but it appears that attacks by ship’s weapons were followed by mopping-up by ground forces who then removed power plants, life support systems and a 300-ton Aoa’Iw (Fletched-Arrow) class light trader.
125-1106 Arunisiir
Alber Geren, presiding minister of the government of the nation of H’fei Khelif on Arunisiir which was the subject of an attempted invasion by Ihatei several months ago, has again appealed to “all right-minded sophonts, regardless of their race” to “join together in hunting down the repulsive war criminal who lead the unprovoked and brutal attack on our country, in which so many innocent lives were lost.”
128-1106 Tanith
For the second time in as many months, the shipyards in Tanith have been the victim of what is being described as a robbery-to-order scheme, where key construction components have been stolen by unknown parties. Authorities are said to be “deeply concerned” stating the “incalculable impact” upon the fragile local economy.
035-1106 Hteakya
An attempt by the Glorious Empire to retain a foothold in the recently-lost Hteakya system was repulsed in the face of a determined defence by the Aslan Uiuikhtaiu clan and aligned forces. This marks the latest in a series of defeats for the Glorious Empire which have seen steady losses in their Rimward territories. Local, human worlds, while the subjects of repeated Glorious Empire slaving expeditions, are nonetheless said to be concerned that when the Glorious Empire is defeated, the attention of several aggressive, Aslan clans must inevitably turn trailing- and core-wards for land and conquest.
