021-1119 Glisten/Spinward Marches
The Admiralty announced the letting of contracts for bids for a variety of ships to be produced over the next five years. A squadron of six Ducal class Battleships is the main prize of the procurement although that portion is dwarfed by the total acquisition program. In all nearly two hundred ships are authorized by the proclamation from the office of Archduke Norris.
Ling-Standard Products and Naasirka are expected to be major bidders. Oskar Bilstein the IX has stated that plenty of work will be available for all the yards in the Domain that are capable of participating in the program.
027-1119 Daama/Vland
A Vargr corsair known as Gvgh'k has claimed the title of First Lord of Daama. Reports indicate that he and his crew massacred the Lords during a meeting aboard their ship. He then married the daughter of late First Lord, by all accounts a well loved ruler, in a Vargr ceremony, forcing her to his bed in the palace. Gvgh'k may hope to cement his claim with a child via high tech recombinant techniques. Human-Vargr hybrids are extremely rare and generally mules and the process to create such a creature is very expensive.
Daama has been suspected of harboring Vargr corsairs in the past, but no direct evidence of this has ever been found.
045-1119 Ameros/Core
Scientists continue to be optimistic about the progress of the Accelerated Terraforming Project being conducted here. They note that the atmospheric pressure and hydrographic percentage have been doubled since the last public report. With only 40 years left in the original timetable the projects financial backers, Hortalez et Cie are waiting to see the results promised.
051-1119 Fosfog/Deneb
[[Vargr] corsairs have taken this human-vargr client world in a stunning victory over local defense forces. The Fosfog Navy, four SDB's of 600 dtons displacement haven't been heard from since reporting the attacking fleet from their post at Huysvik, the inner gas giant of the system. After a week of pillage a Vargr controlled government has been instituted by the Fleet commander, Captain Rhggzzz.
Fighting continues around the downport, Fosfog Up is firmly in the control of Captain Rhggzzz's government.

058-1119 Mertactor/Spinward Marches
The Scout Service announced the salvage of The Demonic Christina, a Ynng class freighter out of Tirem/Spinward Marches [2233].

Battle damage apparently caused a misjump when it attempted to leave the Forine system enroute to Milagro last year.
069-1119 Ganad/Core
The office of Dictator for life, Rilioli Y'heliirgg, announced that a ring of saboteurs in the shipyards producing vessels for Empress Ciencias Fleet had caused the destruction last month of the Destroyer Irititia.

After scoring multiple fuel hits the ship was captured nearly intact.
090-1119 Infrapolis/Antares
Forces of the Antares League raided the Lanthanum mines at Hotylt, seizing processed ores and then destroying the minehead and plants. Casualties among civilians were low. League forces used less than lethal weaponry to subdue bystanders and defenders.

150-1119 Insont/Antares
An Imperial Force was destroyed in a trap at a Gas Giant in this populous system. A large group of SDB's lurking deep inside the gas giant destroyed the convoys refueling shuttles in detail before engaging the technically superior Imperials. Maintaining their position inside the clouds of the huge planet the local forces concentrated fire on any ship attempting to refuel. When the vessels attempted to sally through normal space to the next inner planet to attempt to refuel they were met by the squadron assigned to deny that fuel source to the enemy. A follow on force then helped to crush the cruiser and fourteen escorts. The Imperials successfully scuttled their ships into the gravity well but nearly six hundred were captured after abandoning their ships.
160-1119 Newcastle/Vland
Vargr forces landed by jump capsule and troop transport, taking over all power and communications sites and soon running the government to ground forcing a surrender of all local defenses.

A popular movement to lift military rule has been active since 1030.
228-1119 Gemid/Vland
The Imperial Navy Base at Hyporia, a moon orbiting the third gas giant in this balkanized system was attacked and destroyed by a large Vargr Force belonging to the N'Gath Confederation. The Vargr raiders then attempted to take Gemid itself in a all out assault with drop troops and landings at key points. The two week battle continues as the world for once works together to repel the invaders.
The Navy presence here has been reduced as forces were drawn away by the rebellion in the Domains of Antares and Ilelish. Although the Marquis of Gemid had not kept up the local system defense needed to repel the fleet of the N'Gath, the Vargr didn't count on the large standing armies of each of the nearly dozen large and two dozen or more small nations on this globe at the edge of the Vargr Extents. Most of the Vargr never made it to the surface as the aroused world savagely defended itself with its famous high tech weaponry. Those who did make it down are being swiftly run to ground.
Gemids yards are already converting to naval production vowing to dislodge the N'Gath Confederation from its control of their space.

308-1119 Aki/Spinward Marches
A week of terror is over in this high population system on the edge of the frontier. Psychic waves emanating at the speed of light from the Ancient base discovered at Glisten three years ago were responsible for the deaths of sixty thousand and damages estimated to top 1,370 GCrimp. Officials thanked the Imperial Navy for providing the psi shields which allowed key personnel to continue working during the week long series of attacks. Nearly a million sophants including the Zhodani ambassador to Glisten were killed in the disaster three years ago. Officials reminded the public that a second series of attacks were due in one month.
322-1119 Dula/Lishun
The Admiralty announced that Catalyst/Lishun [2312] had fallen to the First Fleet of Dzo last month. The world was easy prey with the fleet engaged elsewhere against the rebellious Archduke Bzrk.

336-1119 Ansha/Ilelish
The President of Ansha declared it an open world as Empress Ciencia's Vengeance Fleet arrived in force at this world in the rimward trailing quarter of the sector. The high tech, high population world was spared the destruction of a invasion by the act, endorsed by the three representative houses of the worlds government.
340-1119 Aki/Spinward Marches
The second in a series of psychic attacks on this high population system at the Imperial frontier left the final death toll at 110 thousand. Damages were estimated to top 2,450 GCrimp in the two attacks. A spokesperson said, "It would have been more but so much was destroyed last month there wasn't a lot left undefended. We have a lot of rebuilding to do."
354-1119 Gaashushnu Lii Mur/Deneb
The last of this doomed worlds inhabitants is believed to have died. No contact with survivors of the global nuclear war in 815 has been made in over a year. At last count 400 survivors eked out a living on this blasted sphere. The red zone decreed by the Imperial Navy will remain in place.
360-1119 Sorel/Spinward Marches
The psionic attacks that killed a million Glistenites four years ago struck Sorel today. Losses were minimal as the citizens of the entire low population world were provided psi shielding by IM crews during the attacks.
365-1119 Narsi/Spinward Marches
The Sword Worlds Confederation sent a note to the Imperial Ambassador complaining of State sponsored terrorists from Imperial Member worlds. They state that Mora ships have been attacking peaceful merchants and slaughtering the crews. They claim a squadron of Imperial vessels took part in an attack on a relief convoy at Dawnworld in District 268 last month. Over a hundred crew are believed murdered after surrendering. Officials reported that dozens of bodies, shot through the head, were recovered. Tests are underway to identify the remains. Data seems to support the idea that a large, well trained group is operating in the area, but Mora has traditionally been cool to the level of violence claimed. They also have little interest in the region so many parsecs away.
The ambassador denied that any such attack was at Imperial behest.
