Arielle deVoir: Good evening Khaldorn Murino: Greetings, Ni-Kunni. My council has asked me to speak for them on this matter. I am here to relate to you certain facts regarding the Insorium debate which, you must know, may be dangerous knowledge. Arielle deVoir: Can you tell me what the Ushra'Khan have been doing the last couple of months? Khaldorn Murino: Well, as you know, we tasked ourselves with defending the good doctor on his mission, but unfortunately we failed in our duty; on the way to [...]
Arielle deVoir: Are you concerned about the safety of Eckarine Mitumi? Khaldorn Murino: You mean Eckarine Hnolku, I take it? We swore a blood oath to free her, and we do not take such things lightly. We had a location on her in the Bleak Lands, but were unable to effect a rescue before the Amarrians started a war against the Blood Raiders. Our agents search for her in the new Blood lands, but without success at the moment. But rest assured, we swore to the doctor that we would save his wife - and we [...]
The other day, I had the extreme pleasure to sit down with the latest hot button of controversy in the Gallente Federation, Midna. We talked about her album, her surprising return to the top of the Egonics charts, and the rumors of her connection to the Blood Raiders. Through the entire thing, she was gracious, engaging, and completely open. The only thing she asked was that the entire interview be presented, so that no misquoting could occur. Here it is: --- Kang: Hello, Ms. Lyre. It's a pleasure to [...]
Kang: So you were recruited as an addict? Midna: Recruited sounds bad, doesn't it? I wasn't really recruited. Father Saudius never asked me for anything. He never said, "Midna, if you leave, you're going to Hell" or "You're not allowed to go" or anything like that. He just helped me get over my addiction. He helped me get clean. And when I was, he didn't ask me to stay. He just said he was happy to see I was alright. But I came back the next day. And every day after that. Kang: Where do you think [...]

Konora, Metropolis - In what many have termed an unusual development, Angel Cartel forces - by some accounts actually members of a breakaway faction - have shipped large supplies of food to the Konora system and directly distributed them to the various mining and industrial colonies scattered across the system. The ground forces accompanying the food shipments have reportedly secured the colonies and a spokesman known as 'Commander Origen' has asserted control of the territories "on behalf of the [...]
THE AMARR CHAMPIONSHIPS , which have been relatively peaceful so far, took a nasty turn today when interstellar reporter Beringe was threatened that he would be "hunted down and podded" should he attempt to cover the upcoming event. The fundamentalist made no attempt to hide his name but it will not be printed here for security reasons. "Obviously, we take this very seriously." was the official CONCORD reply. "Our reporters are valuable to us, but due to the nature of their work, we cannot protect [...]

A fleet composed of somewhere between 18 and 20 Mordu’s ships and the additional cover of reportedly nearly 20 freelance pilots travelling in a courier mission to the 4C-B7X system to retrieve Legion’s assets met a hostile combined force of NORAD and Imperium vessels.

CAILLE - Although the recent reports indicate that the Seyllin I catastrophe was triggered by natural causes, lots of Gallente citizens seem to put the blame on the Caldari State. Spontaneous anti-Caldari demonstrations are breaking out across the Federation planets, and although no clashes with the police were reported yet, many fear that the situation may escalate to full-blown rioting. Thousands of protesters, waving signs and shouting 'Murderers!', have gathered at the municipal council building [...]
Sahdil, Domain - 08.11.113 - High bounties placed by CONCORD on invading Sansha vessels are attracting pirate forces seeking to force engagements and loot the wrecks of defenders ' expensive and well-appointed ships. "BTL Pub” and “The Ditanian Fleet” (TDF) are two of the largest anti-Sansha communities operating in high security space, formed around channels that organize full fleets from lone pilots and small groups who want to be more potently involved. Phattecia, a BTL representative, stated that [...]
Just as it cleared itself from one scandal, the State has found itself mired in another, as a freighter belonging to the Anti-State movement the Brothers of Freedom was downed in New Caldari. The death toll currently stands at approximately 65,000, with final numbers almost impossible to attain.

Yulai, the centre for trade, diplomacy and travel, last Sunday played host to yet another chapter in the ensuing conflict of interests between the Amarrian slavers and the anti-slaver factions. Although the various systems have seen many rallies with the aim of freeing the slaves in mind, this one was slightly different. Instead of being organised and run by a Minmatar freedom fighter corporation or alliance, this one was initiated by an Amarrian citizen. Shira d'Radonis, a member of the Abolition [...]
The Ionstar corporation, last week’s winners of the BIG Lottery’s Imperial Apocalypse, today announced their intention to release the “Impoc,” as it has become colloquially known, into the hands of the Amarr Navy. According to a source inside the corporation, Ionstar’s board of directors is “well aware that the Empire wants it back badly. As we are loyal citizens of the Empire and would not appreciate the attention a ship of this immense stature would garner, we thought it best that it be returned to [...]
Arcane Technologies regretfully announced that they had to cancel their eagerly anticipated “Inter Alliance Industrial Cup” because of lack of interest. The Cup was scheduled for today. For all the hype and interest which this sparked, no teams decided to participate, leaving the organisers disappointed.

However, [...]

Results of some of the preliminary analyses are in, and the researchers now feel that they can confidently date the site to roughly some eleven thousand years before the signing of the Yulai Treaty ushered in the modern era.
