Yulai - Sansha's Nation continues to assault settlements of all four empires, with the total number of abductions rising into the millions. The sudden intensity and frequency of the attacks has fueled rampant theories about their motives and the nature of their resurgence. Most distressing to some is the possible revival of Sansha Kuvakei. The founder of the Nation, Kuvakei has long been assumed dead, killed during the invasion by a coalition of the empires under the then-nascent CONCORD. While his [...]
New Caldari - A State appeals court yesterday backed the Provist's power to indefinitely detain a citizen captured on State soil without any criminal charges being laid. The ruling came at the hearing of 6 men arrested last week, who officials said were involved in a plot to lure Caldari citizens into space where they were to be offered to Sansha's Nation. A host of civil liberties groups weighed in on the accused men's behalf, calling on the State to supply evidence and charges. The presiding judge [...]
Anyed, Genesis - Late last week, over 600 capsuleers from across New Eden gathered in Anyed to repel a Sansha incursion but contrary to earlier reports of a total victory for capsuleer defenders of the system, Nation completed its own objectives, with Sansha commanders in the system uplinking unknown data to an unknown source. DutchGunner, a member of Onorata Societa who was in the system during the attempted attack, said "The forces have all been destroyed, including the capital assets that have [...]
Sansha incursions in Kador Prime have become more frequent and violent as of late. Last week capsuleers defeated Citizen Astur and forced the retreat of Slave Ation09. On Thursday Slave 32152 arrived in Kador Prime in her Revenant class supercarrier and faced down a capsuleer fleet of over 100 pilots. The capsuleer tried and tested strategy of using ECM against the Sansha wormholes was successful in closing only one of the conduits as the portals fell "below transit parameters." They soon resorted to [...]
Amarr - The Sansha loyalist organisation Naqam has declared war on the longstanding Amarrian paramilitary group Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris (PIE). The first few weeks of the conflict have seen only light skirmishes so far, with both sides avoiding heavy losses. In a lively press release designed to mock the age of many PIE members, CEO of Naqam Izzychan offered a “retirement plan” and claimed that they were “past their due date”. Along with her remarks came what she described as an “awesome game [...]
Domain - Numerous reports from fleeing merchant vessels have reported seeing unusual activity from local Sansha raiders, commonly seen attacking targets of opportunity throughout many of the southern regions of the Empire. Reports of Sansha raiding vessels picking amongst the shattered hulls of both Amarr and Matari hulls has prompted Amarr Navy command to dispatch a handful of Navy vessels to deter the Sansha threat, although a significant proportion of Navy assets has remained to eliminate both the [...]
New Caldari, The Forge - Late last week, Sansha's Nation vessels commanded by Citizen Astur invaded New Caldari and sieged the entrance gate to Jita. On 21.7.113 at around 13:15 New Eden time, two wormholes formed in New Caldari close to the jumpgate leading into Jita and spewed out at least two dozen Sansha's Nation frigates. Koja Tsutariba from the State Protectorate replied with an emergency request for capsuleer assistance in the surrounding systems. Jita, the largest trade hub in New Eden, is [...]
Pator, Heimatar – On Wednesday, Citizen Astur appeared in the Pator system and exchanged words with capsuleer Drake Arson, a long-time Sansha supporter, and asked “are you ready to join with us?” Citizen Astur quickly formed a wormhole which took Drake Arson to Nation's home region in Stain. A capsuleer task force quickly assembled and responding managed to destroy Citizen Astur’s Revenant, after which Citizen Arson re-emerged from the wormhole piloting a Hel Supercarrier and re-engaged the capsuleer [...]
A few days ago Ascendant Frontier (ASCN) forces, on behalf of the Angel Cartel, destroyed a Sansha's Nation exploratory force in TR07-S. Sansha's Nation forces, commanded by Frazier Eachann, attempted to establish a foothold in the area using a Mobile Starbase structure as a forward base. Their forces consisted of 3 Revelation-class Dreadnoughts and 24 Nightmare-class Battleships. These ships moved into TR07-S and proceeded to deploy an Starbase near a moon in the system. They were met on the [...]
STAIN - Following early rumours regarding increased probe activity throughout Stain and lower Catch, the once dormant Sansha’s Nation organization has apparently begun to rise from its slumber. Rumours have been circulating between capsuleer alliances and empire corporations alike in the past two months as several pilots reported seeing a build-up in Sansha forces throughout Stain. Recently, a CONCORD scouting expedition to the area confirmed that several ships have been following old Sansha [...]
New Caldari, The Forge – Sansha’s Nation forces have been assaulting trade routes throughout New Eden, disrupting both market hubs hubs and popular shipping routes. Over the past two weeks, Sansha’s Nation forces have attacked multiple solar systems including Kador Prime, New Caldari and Altrinur. It is their newfound interest in trade routes, however, that is causing concern among capsuleers. Capsuleer Ace Echo, who was present during the New Caldari attack, said “This recent rash of attacks seems to [...]
Oruse, Solitude - Sansha 's Nation began an invasion of Oruse at approximately 22:00 last night, as predicted by hidden messages, apparently independently discovered by Arklan1 of Dunedan Rangers and Culmen of Blood Phage Syndicate in Nation network transmissions that have now been verified and deciphered by multiple independent capsuleers. Prior to the attack, Eleutherian Guard pilot Seriphyn Inhonores and Anslo of First Flying Wing Inc claim to have attempted an evacuation of Oruse II, but the [...]
Sansha’s Nation forces have begun an invasion of the Caldari State Solar System Tama. This invastion comes in Light of their previous hostile appearance within the Solar System Ashab within Amarrian Territory. The invasion began at 22:00, with a mere 20 residents in the system being caught by surprise. New Eden capsuleers are converging on the solar system in an effort to either support the Sansha forces by defending their fleet or by beginning an offensive on all Sansha’s Nation vessels and [...]
Hedion - Confirming rumours that have been circulating in the past few days, the office of the Chamberlain has today issued a statement denouncing Saracen as a traitor to the Empire. Until today the Admiral of the 7th Fleet, Saracen has been conducting operations in The Bleak Lands with the declared intention of pacifying the region, but was recalled to the Throne Worlds earlier in the week to report to the Chamberlain.

Mekhios - From the hushed and pensive opening notes to the stirring triumphal finale, Khitian Maritak's choral Sarum Symphony held listeners entranced for the entirety of its three-hour length. "I wanted to express [the Empress'] rise to power as the journey of her lifetime, to make the audience feel her experience," the honored composer stated later in an open interview. Home viewers may not have received quite as powerful an experience as the attendees, but the program has been recorded to produce [...]
AMARR: A strange sight meets those who fly through Amarr prime these days - police vessels. Actually, what makes them strange is that they all bear the markings of "Sarum surveilance". Nearly all police and military vessels met there belong to the Sarum navy. Even more alarming, this fact hasn't been publicly advertised in any way, so many Amarr citizens just assume that the ships belong to the Amarr navy, or perhaps the security forces of the old emperor. And why would they think otherwise? Not [...]
Following the suicide of Jamyl Sarum at the Imperial inauguration ceremony two weeks ago without naming an heir to her seat, House Sarum has floundered in an apparent power vacuum, with few official commands issued and day-to-day administration seen to by senior councillors. However, reports have recently come in that House Sarum have been diverting much of their considerable combat-ready forces and bringing them closer to Sarum Prime, consolidating their position in their home system. Independent [...]
Since house Ardishapur announced yesterday that they would not be accepting non-Amarrian wingmen fighting alongside their champion, debates have flaired up amongst the other families on whether to follow suit or not. The debates are closed affairs, and no reports are being issued recieved through official channels. However, the word on the street is that Jamyl Sarum, who is known for her militant attitude towards the other races, seems unlikely to want representatives from any other than pure-blooded [...]

Tonight's Scavenger Hunt, arranged in the Devoid region by Aurora Vice Admiral Nebulai, took an interesting twist near it's end. Three Arch Angel Cartel members, impersonating the very Vice Admiral himself and two other Aurora members, stole the last can and moved it to a new location. Then, speaking as the Aurora members, attempted to lure the competing pilots to the container for the reward. Several pilots took up the challenge, only to find themselves in the gunsights of the pirates. Even after the [...]
Prominent Caldari scientist, Futimo Massagi, has today completed a masterpiece of work, predicting the winners of the Alliance Tournament. Massagi is an instructor at the State War Academy teaching statistical analysis, and his mathematical papers are regarded as a cornerstone in the training of Pod-Pilots. After his critics questioned the misuse of his talents for what serious scientists see as frivolity, he hit back hard; “There are many ways to teach. I could make my students calculate the grains [...]
