So far, the transfer is reported to be going along smoothly, even with long wait times for those wishing to board.The conditions for boarding the station are extensive, including a required submission of a blood sample and a willingness to submit to the regulations aboard the station.Some of the regulations include: *Carrying Svajone identification in the citizens only parts of the station*Accepting 'station labor' while being provided with lodging and basic provisions upon the station, a requirement meaning those who live on board the station are required to contribute a set amount of time per week for service to the station's major functions*All business and governing on board the station is to be conducted in the Outverser language Terran Standard.Even with the restrictions, Stephen Adel, a human refugee, thought staying on the Svajone was worthwhile. "A lot is asked of us, but I think we finally have a chance of making it here." It is projected the early departure of some of the refugees may provide Comorro extra time before the damage to her filtration systems becomes irreparable.

We try to go for more of a relaxed, youthful, upbeat feel and so we tend to come across a little bit unusual when people are used to seeing launches from companies who are much, much older."The final day of the exhibition commenced with an impromptu skit, that lead into the announcement of the winner of the Name the Information Network and the first glimpse at the new system.

Short Human Terrorises Demarians

Posted By: Loki Article: APR09-3 Reported To: CNB Reported On: Comorro Reported At: Sun Apr 05 02:28:09 3009 Comorro - Demarian refugees have been advised to keep a look out for a short human who carries a saddle, between the height of 3'5" to 4'3" after two attempted abductions in the waste management area in the gearclanger hub."I was just going down to throw out some garbage, because I wasn't willing to pay a Lotorian to take garbage down for me, when I heard a voice calling out the derogatory name of kitty," said one of the victims. "I had enough and someone threw an old bloated can at me, that said Kitty's Choice."Parents of all races have also been warned to keep a close eye on their children, after complaints that a human male matching the description of the attempted abductor approached a group of children, claiming them to be his apprentices and that with their assistance he would be able to over throw the tallies and get them a Demarian, as written in a book by someone called Urfkgar.

Security has reported that he is not a suspect at this point in time and will be released later today."It was the strangest thing, one minute people were running to help, and the next minute they were all on the ground..just sleeping. I've heard of this before, but never on this kind of scale," one refugee eyewitness reported. A few of the Sentinels, a group of refugee security headed by Norran Lomasa, offered similar sentiments, "How're we supposed to fight this?" one man asked, "We didn't even have a chance out there. I was running to help and next thing I know I'm on the ground and waking up. I didn't even remember falling asleep."We here at CNB will continue to bring you more up to date coverage as details unfold.

Svajone: Colonization will wait

Posted By: Brody Article: APR09-5 Reported To: CNB Reported On: Comorro Reported At: Tue Apr 21 17:33:44 3009 SVAJONE - Svajone - In an audio only speech earlier today to those living on the Svajone from its leader, it was made clear the Svajone is placing little priority in finding a planet to reside on. "Immediate colonization is an extremely dangerous, intensive undertaking." the speech said, going on to claim such an effort would likely cost several thousand refugee lives.The speech ended with a message for the leaders of other worlds, "We can not help that we have arrived in this land as foreigners. What we can do is work to building positive relations with those who have lived here for eons: Offer trade opportunities, diplomatic relations, and work with all to create a future in which we may all share in."Suren, an Aukami foreign relations analyst, said of the speech, "It is obvious the Svajone is attempting to be viewed as a state in its own right. Whether it is worthy of such a designation is not yet known."

Paintedheart Responds to Svajone Speech

Posted By: Loki Article: APR09-6 Reported To: CNB Reported On: Comorro Reported At: Wed Apr 22 01:59:52 3009 Commorite Liaison for Refugee Affairs Silvereye Paintedheart published the following statement through Comorro news affiliates in response to an earlier speech delivered on Svajone: "For several weeks now I have been in negotiations with one Mr. Mikage over the Svajone project. I was never satisfied with the transparency of the project and the secrecy that Mr. Mikage demanded, but given the precarious situation aboard Comorro I felt that it was in the refugees' best interest to secure a lifeboat for some of our population. To this end, I believe the Svajone station is appropriate.However, recent statements emanating from the Svajone should be troubling for all refugees. Mr. Mikage, who is the moving force behind the project, must recognize that he does not own Svajone station. His initial requirements for blood tests, identification checks, language requirements, constant secrecy, and now his unilateral declaration that refugees should not seek a homeworld which some observers have interpreted as a declaration of independence, are anathema to the project of openness and cooperation that we have cultivated since our arrival on Comorro.I call on Mr. Mikage to recognize that it was with the help of refugees that he retrieved his station, it is with the hands of refugees that he makes it space-worthy, and it will be refugees who take the risks in securing the station. Ultimately, it is refugees who must live there. Mr. Mikage is not the king of Svajone. I invite Mr. Mikage to emerge from seclusion and join the rest of the refugee community in an open forum to determine our common future. We are in his debt for the location of Svajone, but such debt does not extend to the surrender of our rights as sentient beings and as individuals in a sovereign community."

What's next?" one woman replied in an interview.The search for the missing ship is an on going on at this point. Any who wish to help are urged to speak with station security.
