Llivori shipyard wins Koltkamir contract

Posted By: Brody Article: JUN09-3 Reported To: LIN Reported On: Kamsho Reported At: Wed Jun 03 18:02:52 3009 ALAVREN, KAMSHO - Llivori Starworks, an Alavren-based shipyard on Kamsho, has secured the contract to build the new defense fleet ordered by Zar Hideg Fetreku of Aukam's Koltkamir government.This controversial move stands to be very profitable for Llivori Starworks in the short-term, but the long-term reputation damage among Llivori citizens may be off the scale. First, popular opinion among Llivori is against the Zar's move to form a Kamir-centric dictatorship. Second, the contract involves Opodian laborers. Llivori and Opodians are longtime rivals, with Opodians zealously worshipping a Kamir known as Opodi, while many Llivori actively resent and, on frequent occasions, defame or defile the so-called "goddess" and her shrines."It will not be popular, I agree," said Narvel Yati, chief executive of the shipyard. "But the long-term economic consequences for the Llivori people as a whole could be catastrophic if we fail to align ourselves in this way. Besides, this will be an excellent opportunity to see how well Opodians and Llivori can work together for a common cause."

Posted By: Fishbreath Article: JUN09-4 Reported To: CNB Reported On: Comorro Reported At: Wed Jun 03 22:30:50 3009 The star known on charts as K5256 is just another yellow dwarf in Hekayti-explored space, and its third planet is just another undeveloped watery world, known in some circles for the beaches that ring its islands and its seclusion.Today, though, news reached Comorro of a new reason to remember K5256-III. After a four-year journey through uninhabited space, the G'ahnli destroyer Far-Reaching Consequence arrived there, heavily damaged. It carried 34 G'ahnli and Ydahri refugees, who intend to make the oceans of K5256-III their new home.Bulobu, a G'ahnli former businessman and now leader of these new refugees, sent this statement to the Comorro News Bureau: "From we of New G'ahnlo to our fellows in this new universe and our companions from the old, blessings and profit. Our miraculous rescuse from the orbit of our dying star and our lengthy journey through the vastness of space has brought us here with first a grateful feeling to the Kamir who saved us that transcends description, and second a sense of purpose to make all that we may from this second chance. We invite Outversers and natives alike to join us in commerce. We invite all G'ahnli and Ydahri to join us here, as we work to build a new home for our peoples."

Psi-building grows in popularity

Posted By: Wik'ikik Article: JUN09-5 Reported To: CNB Reported On: Comorro Reported At: Sat Jun 06 09:18:30 3009 SVAJONE - Borbala Fordul works in the engineering corps of Comorro, keeping her systems running at full capacity, and at lunch, she joins a group of a half dozen beings for resistance training. In psi.For the last few weeks, an informal group of psychics, telepaths and telekinetics calling themselves the 'Psi-builders' has been traveling to the psi-suppressed station of Svajone to engage in what Fordul calls "a chance to build our psi muscles". Working amongst themselves, they strain against the increased difficulty that the Svajone provides, making any psionic task three or four times as difficult. Powerful Aukami can be seen struggling with mere barbells. A B'hiri struggles to keep telepathic contact with two people at once. But they keep coming back, day after day. Why? "Because we all want to improve," Fordul says. "We all have a desire to be the best we can be, and why train in half G when you can find a 2G environment to do it in? This wonderful station gives us the opportunity to strain ourselves to our limits, and I exercise in a half hour what it'd normally take me three hours to do."Svajone is currently in Comorro orbit, and is accepting visitors.

Llivori freighter captain banished

Posted By: Brody Article: JUN09-6 Reported To: LIN Reported On: Kamsho Reported At: Sat Jun 06 14:26:44 3009 ALAVREN, KAMSHO - Freighter captain Ribas Salek has been officially exiled from the Llivori territory of Alavren on Kamsho by the Llivori Commerce League.Salek, commander of the ship currently known as Opodi's Nostril, has a long history of flaunting his dislike of the Opodians and their worship of the Aukami prophetess known as Opodi. After the recent announcement that Llivori Starworks would hire Opodian labor to build a war fleet for the Koltkamir, Salek appeared on a local holovid broadcast in which he said: "We've just taken a huge step backward with this decision. Are our leaders so forgetful of the past? The Opodians did their level best to wipe us off the face of Kamsho many times in the name of their religion. Now, with a lunatic like Hideg Fekretu giving them marching orders, they might actually succeed this time."The LCL met in closed session and reached the conclusion that Salek, whose ship has been known in the past as Opodi's Phallus, Opodi's Nipple, Opodi's Anus, and Opodi's Womb in order to upset every Opodian who might be offended by the sacrilege, could potentially cause more trouble than his business would be worth now that the Zar holds power on Aukam.Within a few hours of receiving the exile order, Salek complied, launching from the surface of Kamsho. It's unlikely he'll ever return. The LCL has never before revoked an order of exile.

Comorro calls for peace conference

Posted By: Brody Article: JUN09-8 Reported To: CNB Reported On: Comorro Reported At: Fri Jun 12 15:36:17 3009 COMORRO STATION - Comorro Station: In response to growing tensions between the Koltkamir Union and the Hekayti the venerable Yaralu station Comorro has offered herself as a neutral site for the parties to reach an accord. The Minister for Outverser Affairs, Silvereye Paintedheart, has offered his services as mediator in an invitation to the two parties."The recent military expansion of the Koltkamir and statements issued by the Zar has fundamentally changed the balance of power in Hiverspace." The Minister wrote in the invitation. "Changes in the interstellar order necessarily affect not only the Koltkamir and the Hekayti but Outversers and neutrals like Comorro as well. It is therefore in the interest of all parties to avoid conflict and to negotiate the ambitions of the Koltkamir so that they do not disrupt the peace that has prevailed in Hiverspace since the defeat of the Il'Ri'Kamm Hive Mind."When asked my he would suggest himself as mediator Paintedheart was quick to offer his resume to this reporter: "I served as my people's representative to our own interstellar organization, and I have been tasked by Comorro with creating a similar operating group among the factions of Hiverspace. I've negotiated the surrender of worlds and managed our forces in war." Though some might suggest that Outversers cannot understand the conflicts of Hiverspace, Paintedheart disagrees. "I think that an outside perspective is what's needed to arrive at a settlement that is fair to all parties involved. It is precisely because we are not invested in any one party that we can provide the impartiality needed to avoid conflict."
