    "A GOD" and "Brecher" arrived in Yulai tonight with their fourth and final shipment, concluding their contract with GDI. A somewhat harried Mr. Jetson Bills arrived late to the meeting, however the two contractors were more than patient and did not seem to mind the slight delay. The last shipment was recieved and both parties were pleased with the results. Both contractors were anxious for any clues Mr. Bills could give them about the surprise reward for the finished contract. When Mr. Bills was asked [...]

    Brainwave scientists on the run

    • YC107-10-29

      Last Thursday night saw another unsuccessful raid on the labs of the much debated ‘Brainwave control’ scientists Albert Vance and Vic Stats. As with the previous raid - the laboratories had been evacuated well before the arrival of the three Caldari agents, who have been pursuing the controversial scientists since the nature of their research was uncovered a fortnight ago. The scientists are believed to have removed much of their equipment and left no clues as to their next destination, leaving the [...]

      Formal request to Fed Senate for increased Placid security

      • YC107-10-28

        PLACID. A formal Citizen Petition was submitted to the Gallente Federation Senate demanding increased security across solar systems in this region, signed by several millions of residents. A copy of the petition uploaded to GalNet has received the support of several pod-pilots who call Placid “home”. According to the petition, “the Placid region has great potential for trade, industry, and yes, even research. The people living there are entitled to the same freedom and the same protection as any other [...]

        Controversial ‘Brainwave Control’ Scientists continue their work

        • YC107-10-24

          Following their relocation to the Rens solar system last week, scientists Dr Albert Vance and Dr Vic Stats resumed their quest for electronic parts on Sunday. Though their requests were met with the usual hostility and wariness indicative of previous endeavours to acquire supplies, several capsule pilots were eager to assist them. The three Caldari investigators, led by Pete Sance have apparently set up a temporary base of operations at the site of the scientists’ former lab in the Josameto system [...]

          Prominent cloning researcher assassinated

          • YC107-10-23

            A scientist researching new cloning techniques was murdered on Saturday evening while en route to his Yulai laboratories. The man, who was identified as one Dr Tourny – an expert in the field of cloning technology; was apparently set upon by several individuals in the Du Annes solar system and suffered a fatal capsule breach during the altercation. At this time the motive for the killing is unclear, but thought to involve research Dr Tourny had been conducting into a new type of clone. Purportedly [...]

              THE FORGE. Alerted by growing concern among Caldari pod-pilots, the Caldari CBT launched a formal investigation into the “Electronics Parts” research effort. After requesting and receiving access to Sukuuvestaa facilities in Josameto, investigators Lt. Sance and Sgt. Pops conducted an armed raid at the lab where researchers Mr. Vance and Mr. Vics were supposedly conducting their “first prototype of our 'Brain Wave Control Technology', aimed at ridding the EVE cluster of criminals”, according to Mr. [...]

              Citizen offers blueprint to CalNav at no cost.

              • YC107-10-18

                THE FORGE. After learning the Caldari Navy’s intention to study the design of the Gurista Gila-class cruiser, a Caldari citizen has offered the blueprint at no cost. As reported earlier this month, Gurista strike forces destroyed a Gila-class cruiser that was to be studied by CalNav engineers. Caldari citizen Logan Xerxes offered through GalNet a free copy of the blueprint, at no cost to the State. “All for the good of many” declared Xerxes in his communication. Sources have reported that the CalNav [...]

                Hunt the Bounty series continues

                • YC107-10-14

                  Vincent Aslo returned to the New Caldari solar system this week for another instalment of his “Hunt the Bounty” challenge. The second round of his game show style contest was played out on Thursday where another lucky pilot scooped the two million ISK prize money. After a thrilling chase, Entschlossen laid the final blow that destroyed Aslo’s vessel; later donating his winnings to fellow capsuleer Jenny Spitfire. Interestingly, Aslo’s “Hunt the Bounty” round two was not the only occasion of interest [...]

                    • YC107-10-14

                      Events in the Placid region of Gallente space took a turn for the worse yesterday when two Vindicators which appeared to be from the Serpentis fleet entered the Ouelletta, destroying several privately owned starships. Following this initial attack a valiant attempt by the locals to repel the invaders was made. It failed dramatically, however, causing a withdrawl to one of the local stations for all those in the defending fleet. Although the losses, which included two battleships, one cruiser and [...]

Suspicious of their intentions, the patrons of the galaxy wide FTL communications channel - which is provided for capsule pilots of Caldari nationality as an open forum, [...]

                          Core Empire Systems Straining From Traffic

                          • YC107-10-09

                            A number of Empire solar systems are straining from the massive traffic running through them in recent months, and severe measures need to be taken to rectify the situation. Local authorities are negotiating with mega-corporations who base their business operations in Rens, Oursulaert and Jita to move some of their assets to nearby solar systems so the load on the core areas may be diverted. Pilots and corporations based in the Rens, Oursulaert and Jita systems are encouraged to relocate their [...]

                            Blood Raiders strike at the Khanid Empire

                            • YC107-10-06

                              A savage and ruthless attack on the Khanid Prime shipyards by force of the Blood Raider Covenant this week resulted in the theft of more than half a dozen of the venerated Navy Issue Apocalypse battleships. This is following reports of the blood raiders spying on military convoys and mineral shipments over an extended period of time, and in the process building up a network of mysterious devices in a grid stretching from Gehi to Khanid Prime itself. Whilst the main purpose of these devices is unknown, [...]

                                Scattered reports have been arriving today of mysterious ships apparently lingering on the fringes of Gallente space. Local space farers along the border regions of the Federation have reported sighting the vessels, which appear to be concentrating in several key systems. While the sightings vary in their detail, one shocking consistency has emerged in that all reports mention the ships bearing the markings of the notorious Serpentis corporation. Rumour of the sudden increase in Serpentis activity has [...]

                                Guristas Rescue operation thwarted

                                  Last week saw the unusually daring infiltration of a Guristas strike force into core Caldari systems following the capture and subsequent escape of a notorious terrorist from Caldari Navy forces. The captured Guristas pilot known as Kallia Corpium had surrendered to Navy forces on Thursday after a prolonged fire fight in the Torrinos system. Corpium, who had been flying a Gila class cruiser, was travelling under heavy police escort after officials had ordered transportation of the mysterious cruiser [...]

                                    Reports have recently been pouring in that the escaped gladiators have been sighted within the borders of the Amarrian Empire. Armed with ships and modules that would put most private armies to shame, the ex-slave warriors carved a route through the heart of Amarrian space, reportedly searching for a new place to call home. Starting in the Imperial system of Mai, they plotted a course taking them through Zaimeth, Khopa and Penirgman, where they reportedly got into a war of words with the locals, [...]
