      Campaign blunder makes Foiritan a laughing stock.

      • YC107-04-27

        While Eman Autrech and Mentas Blaque launched their election campaigns with only the minimal of hitches, current president Souro Foiritan was left sitting in the dust looking like a fool. Foiritan has never been known to be the most prepared or meticulous of men, but even his blasé reputation can’t save him some blushes now. While the thoroughly trained delegates of Autrech and Blaque are busy stoking the campaign fires of their respective masters, Foiritan’s supporters have nothing but pitiful embers [...]

        • YC107-04-27

          After a series of meetings over the last week, CONCORD's Inner Circle this morning passed new legislation prohibiting empire corporation agents from passing on Tech II construction components to capsule pilots engaged in freelance work for them. The primary reason for the legislation, according to Inner Circle Head Irhes Angireh, is "the need for the empires to divert their resources towards their own ends. Both CONCORD and the four empires have paid tremendous amounts of money and resources to the [...]

          • YC107-04-25

            Late last night, a freelance trader named Kerio Ekoena was spotted in the Nonni system, buying slaves, drugs, firearms and a whole host of other illegal goods, showing that the rumour mill can occasionally hold the unvarnished truth. Working for a third party corporation, he is suspected to have spent millions obtaining the contraband items they require. Who he is fronting for is still the object of wide speculation. Astonishingly though, it is believed that a trader by the name of Jashira Ne´rgha of [...]

            Slave riots in Taru

            • YC107-04-24

              Last night a riot is rumoured to have occurred in a slave holding facility somewhere within the Taru system. It’s believed the facility where the alleged riot occured is owned by Korramasha Mawhi, a small time slave trader with no record of illegal activities.

The failure of these 2 [...]

                  • YC107-04-21

                    Recent news reports have been flooding in from various anonymous sources of attacks at the fringes of Caldari space. For the past few months these mysterious attacks have been on the rise and they do not appear to be letting up. Each of the attacks appears to contain a small tightly nit fleet of eight or so Caldari ships, enlisted in an oddly named corporation. Every attempt at communication with any of these vessels is met with garbled and seemingly random noise. Early attempts at decrypting the [...]

Concord police say that they currently have no leads as to the motive of the attack. However, the sheer brutality and utter rage this murder appears to have been conducted in, is allowing criminal psychologists to narrow down the search considerably. Logs also indicate that the professors clone, which was kept in a special facility adjacent to [...]

The active search period of three weeks has passed and as they have found absolutely no leads hinting at his whereabouts, the search has been called off. Even mercenaries have been unable to track down the elusive terrorist. The lack of clues pointing to his location is breeding an [...]

The officer, Juul Anttus met his downfall, ironically when one of the people he betrayed decided to do some private detective work. Hyota Vasy, a sub-nanite communication engineer first became a target for the Guristas when, during one of his many research experiments in deep space he stumbled upon a top secret communiqué, detailing the [...]
