Ryan responded by opening fire, destroying the Odarite vessel. He then tried to make a run for the Phyrrian homeworld to fire a probe.Before he could do so, however, five Phyrrian warships launched full attack salvos on the Haste. The ship was destroyed just seconds after a final databurst could be transmitted by the Haste's artificial intelligence system.

Anti-Watcher Sentiment On The Rise!

Posted By: Keller Article: SEPT07-8 Reported To: E!RN Reported On: New Luna Reported At: Fri Sep 07 23:07:50 3007 Not even a day after Jeff Ryan, head of the infamous Watchers and New Lunite General, died while inciting the Phyrrians and Ordites, protest groups and militants throughout the Orion Arm are banding together to face what they deem a more dangerous threat than the Phyrrians -The Watchers. In Jasper Point, New Luna, protesters are taking to the streets, burning pictures of their recently deceased Militia General. Though, the anger has not been directed at the New Luna Militia, yet. However, on Luna, things are different. The man once seen as a hero to some Lunites, has become vilified. Mobs have taken to the streets in Lovell, clashing with suspected Watcher sympathizers and Solar Republic forces. This isn't just happening upon New Luna and Luna; On all planets throughout the Orion Arm are going through this same wave of anger, crying out for their governments to actively "hunt down and purge this apparent threat". Spokespeople for the mobs are all claiming the same; Claiming that Jeff Ryan and the Watchers have doomed every organic life form within the Orion Arm to certain death. There are even rumors that even suggest that an unnamed businessman, from Ungstir, is offering 125,000 Ruble reward per confirmed Watcher or former Watcher, brought in, alive or dead. What their fates will be, if they're brought in alive, is unknown.

Governor Defends Actions

Posted By: Wik'ikik Article: SEPT07-10 Reported To: INN Reported On: New Luna Reported At: Sat Sep 08 16:48:45 3007 GREENVILLE, NEW LUNA - Governor Eldridge Seale today defended the actions of the late Brigadier General Jeff Ryan against the recent attack by Trade Minister Zrt'kfr. In a penned letter to INN, Seale wrote: "There are times in life that one must make a sacrifice for the greater good. There are too few people in the Orion Arm with enough backbone to sacrifice theirselves for said good, and Jeff Ryan was one of those people, sacrificing his own life so that the Orion Arm and OATO might shake their perpetual, dooming incompetancy and truly understand the threat we face. New Luna has been preparing for this onslaught for many months, so Brigadier General Ryan was not sacrificing himself for our sake. He was sacrificing himself for every one of you. "But the lingering question is, how were the Odarites able to be in the Tasker System without themselves being destroyed, and why didn't they relay information about the Phyrrians' fleet to the Orion Arm? How many months has this been going on? How many lives will we lose because of this lack of information-sharing? I dare to say, it will be hundreds, if not thousands of times more than the Odarites lost yesterday. So I respectfully say to the Trade Minister: How are you going to repay the Orion Arm for the lives it will inevitably lose? As the bard Robert Waters once said, 'Did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?'"

Mister Talaya said that the Jeff Ryan action figure, with accompanying NLM Saviour's Haste, "could be dismantled at the user's wish by pressing a button on either one of the figures, that will cause them pop apart into several different pieces. If the Jeff Ryan action figure is placed inside the NLM Saviour's Haste and the Haste's button is pressed. Then both Jeff Ryan and the Haste pop apart." At the moment, it is not known if Purple Sky Productions is planning to release a Odarite vessel that will able to be dismantled in the same manner as Jeff Ryan's.

However, Penumbra will only be issuing 4,000 tickets to for people to live aboard the Orphic. He will allow as many people with their own starships to accompany the Orphic as part of a collective fleet as wish to do so."I know it's not a lot of people," Penumbra told INN. "I wish we could take tens of thousands, like Sanctuary, but we just don't have that kind of capacity."OOC: Post an +str if you want to receive a lottery number. Any player wanting to go on the Orphic should do this.

Sandwalker urges no-confidence

Posted By: Brody Article: SEPT07-20 Reported To: INN Reported On: Demaria Reported At: Fri Sep 14 19:12:29 3007 NEW ALHIRA, DEMARIA - In response to the deadly incident in Demarian space the leader of the opposition, Senator Twinstripes Sandwalker, has introduced a motion of no-confidence in the Longvision Government. "For what purpose did the people of Demaria elect this government if not to protect it?" Sandwalker asked in a speech before the Senate today. "The utter failure of the militia to offer even a cursory resistance to the Tomin Kora pirates raises serious question about the ability of this government to provide for our defense." Though the motion is expected by most analysts and Senators to fail, Sandwalker was adamant about forcing a confrontation in order to shake-up Longvision's government."This President has appointed a Battleclaw who will not fight, and has failed to exercise any leadership with regards to the impending 92206 crisis. I have no sympathy for the Faux or her crew, but I am a Demarian, and the proud Demarian people who I have devoted my life to would never allow mere *pirates* to create chaos in our midst and extort our militia into delivering up *any* vessel docked peacefully in our ports. We are all shamed by the actions of this government and its officers, and it is time for them to account for their failure." As is customary when the leader of the opposition speaks Sandwalker immediately left the chambers to great uproar.-Senate News Service, Dapperfur Newschaser.

New Luna Founder Dies

Posted By: Wik'ikik Article: SEPT07-30 Reported To: INN Reported On: New Luna Reported At: Wed Sep 19 06:54:09 3007 DEEPCREST ISLAND , NEW LUNA - Late Sunday night, the founder of New Luna, Captain Russell T. Plaindid, passed away when the medical monitoring devices keeping him alive malfunctioned in the wake of the nanite infestation. He was 351. Plaindid founded the planet of Freedom, which would later become New Luna, as an attempt by Earth to prevent the possible destruction of their race by the Kretonians. He and his crew were severely genetically modified, and sent from Earth onboard the Seldom Trouble to find a terra-compatible planet to settle on, and discovered the planet in 2718. 289 years from that day, Plaindid was still living within a hundred yards of the wreckage of the Seldom Trouble up until his death, shrugging off repeated requests towards public office. A 21-gun salute by Hancock Station will be done later tonight.

Chaos on the Station?

Posted By: Wik'ikik Article: SEPT07-31 Reported To: INN Reported On: New Luna Reported At: Wed Sep 19 07:00:49 3007 HANCOCK STATION, NEW LUNA ORBIT - Word is coming out of the New Luna Militia that one soldier is dead and another wounded in what some are calling a training exercise gone horribly wrong, and others are calling cold-blooded murder within the ranks. Corporal Benjamin Carter Jr., son of New Luna Councilman Ben Carter of Pitchton, died of a blood clot on Tuesday morning stemming from two pulse shots to the knee by an unknown assailant within the station's Medbay, sources within the NLM say. Corporal Angelo Camisaroja lies in fair condition within the Medbay, allegedly from the same event. Sources close to the investigation say that an officer in the NLM and a civilian Vollistan, both seemingly stunned, were removed from the Medbay following the incident. Neither the Vollistan nor the officer has been charged at the time of print.The younger Carter, a father of four, stood to inherit over six million rayden upon the death of his notoriously frail father, and some are pointing to the tense familial relations within the Carter family as a possible motive for the attack. Councilman Carter has called for a full investigation of the incident despite the state of war, vowing that no matter what, he will "...personally see (his) son's killer to justice."

Faux Crew Recovered

Posted By: Keller Article: SEPT07-32 Reported To: INN Reported On: demaria Reported At: Thu Sep 20 07:01:12 3007 New Alhira: Demaria Today it was announced that the survivors of the Faux have been found. Miraculously all persons onboard the ship survived the crash and are currently being treated at the Medical Center in New Alhira for various injuries. Rumors that Kaptian Ace that have been circulating the past few days turn out be false as she is very much alive. When asked to comment on the crash she instead decided to issues a statement regarding Senator Twinstripe Sandwalker's comments. "No sympathy for the Faux and her crew. Do not want her sympathy, but have grown weary of the lack of gratitude for my crew. When none would move against Savant, they risked their lives to save the Orion Arm and were spat upon for it. When Demaria was helpless to rescue their own, the Faux went to Tomin Kora and risked the wrath of bastards like Marcuccilli to rescue innocent people from torture and death and to bring a Demarian noble home where he belongs. And when Marcuccilli and Kapitan Morgan brought the Junkyard here, we sacrificed everything we had; our ship, our home, and almost our lives to safeguard New Alhira...my crew does not want sympathy, but they deserve honor and consideration for their sacrifice and that includes the three Demarians who were on board. Three of your own people and still they spit." The crew is in good spirits and await their release and the possible pursuit of further adventures across the galaxy.

The evacuation which began on September 21st is believed to have been completed some time over the weekend. It is not known at this time where New Alhira's ten thousand some inhabitants have fled to as requests for clarification from the Longvision government have gone unanswered. One militia aide, commenting on conditions of anonymity, speculated that the Demarian world of Pansheera beyond the Nexus was one possibility that the government had been considering. If this is the case then the Phyrrians have already achieved their goal here on Demaria, bringing the sentient organic felinoids further towards the brink of extinction in the Orion Arm.For now militia officials say that all traffic in the Demar system will be managed from Moonstalker and a militia presence will remain to prevent looting in the deserted colony. - INN Wire Service
