No Relief in Sight for Castor

Posted By: Hammer Article: MARCH08-1 Reported To: INN Reported On: Sivad Reported At: Sat Mar 22 14:26:14 3008 Enaj -- The escalating violence on Castor raises troubling questions about the support behind the attackers but brings no more suggestions on how they can be brought to justice.%r%rDetails on the perpetrators themselves have been sparse, due to the ongoing investigations and continuing communications difficulties. Witnesses report that the attacking vessels are mostly light civilian ships, though there has been one report of a heavily armed Atlas atmospheric bomber in the area.%r%rThe robberies have grown more violent since the 16th, when a Vanguard pilot was shot in the back and seriously wounded. Further attacks have left another soldier severely wounded and lead to the death of three local cargo loaders and at least one Marine. Two other Marines have been listed as missing in action.%r%rThis Monday, artillery fire on the recently rebuilt Ursiniru landing pad led to two more marine deaths, a scattering of small fires, and reports of several minor injuries. Though no ships were seriously damaged in this incident, engineers have suggested that that the landing pad has lost twenty percent of its already-diminished capacity.%r%rThe Vanguard has thus far reported to the press no successful captures of the violent criminals responsible.

Castor Relief Stalled

Posted By: Hammer Article: MARCH08-2 Reported To: INN Reported On: Castor Reported At: Sat Mar 22 14:30:58 3008 Ursiniru -- The group hijacking medical relief shuttles in late February appears to have taken to committing its crimes on Castor itself.%r%rSince the 15th of March, there have been six armed robberies on medical transports traveling to outlying towns and a mortar attack on the Ursiniru landing pad. Kenneth Shinoda of Cabrerra Industries, a major supplier of the civilian aid, remarked to the press, "It is simply incomprehensible to me that someone could justify any further injury to this peace-loving people." He pledged that CI will seek additional security contracts to protect their hospital deliveries.%r%rThe official response in this largely peaceful and law-abiding society remains limited by the circumstances. The Solar Republic, however, continues to lend its assistance by escorting medical transports, posting guards at the landing pad and major hospitals, and continuing to sweep the forest for the perpetrators.%r%rIn further news, the Vanguard Command commented that they have reassigned the battlestation 'Hancock' to the recovering planet, a renewed sign of determination to see the job completed.

Isherwood Restoration A Hoax?

Posted By: Joker Article: MARCH08-3 Reported To: SBS Reported On: Sivad Reported At: Fri Mar 28 18:30:10 3008 Enaj, Sivad - Akema Akari, professor of political history at the University of Enaj, suggested some aspects of the Isherwood restoration may not be on as firm standing as previously thought.%r%rOn the Ikeopo Sunrise morning show, while promoting her new book, "Conspiracy in Enaj: Theories for the 31st Century", she said, "In the past several years, Sivadian conspiracy has turned far closer to political aspects than previous decades. Especially with the plots uncovered and foiled on Sivad." Referring to the unusually rapid changes of the government and other high level Sivadian officials in recent years.%r%r"The Isherwood Restoration is one such conspiracy not yet acknowledged. Murky data in the first place, poor post-Unification record keeping, and just not enough data to acknowledge a monarch who returned in mythical fashion, let alone the inability to tell whether or not some of these officials are alive or dead." Akari continued shortly before the segment ended.%r%rNeither Akari nor Isherwood House have replied to requests for further statement."

On Face the Media this morning, Conservative backbencher Eliot Cyrus said that Dr. Akema Akari should "Clarify her statements" on the Isherwood Restoration made late last week."It is irresponsible and reckless for anyone to make inflammatory statements about the Restoration, especially a professor from a publically supported educational institution." Cyrus said, later suggesting that additional oversight for the Sivadian university system may need to be considered.Neither the Adrianne Government nor Isherwood House have issued any formal statements regarding Dr. Akari's claims from last week that the Isherwood Restoration may be illegitimate.
