In a coded message released to all major news agencies this morning, Omir Sarikusa, leader of the notorious Blood Raider Covenant, claimed responsibility for the kidnapping of Eckarine Mitumi-Hnolku, wife of outlaw scientist Ullia Hnolku. Accompanying the message were images of a woman, later confirmed by State sources as Mrs. Hnolku, being subjected to “blooding” – the ritual draining of blood which constitutes a focal point of the Covenant’s highly controversial religious practices. Furthermore, [...]
After weeks of uncertainty the ponderous Federation bureaucracy has finally given the green light for the conclusion of the presidential emissary selection process. The Federal Administration has instructed delegates working for the candidates to cease handing out assignments early tomorrow. Each of the thousands of candidate vouchers that have been handed out has an electrical chip in it that allows the Administration to track the location and ownership of it. Even so, it will take the Administration [...]
Last night, a small scale operation conducted by Caldari Navy Special Forces led to the capture of Bleak Scarab, a terrorist with known connections to the Guristas pirates. During the past years Bleak Scarab, whose real name is Yaila Heeth, has gained access to classified information, while working undercover as a Caldari Navy Courier. The information she has gathered was supposedly to be used in acts of terrorism on assets of the Caldari State. Her arrest was made possible by an anonymous informant [...]
Today CBT made a public thank you to all those pilots named by Perkone that took part in bringing the criminals who caused such havoc to justice. A spokesperson said, "We had no idea what Mr Brinor was up to, all we knew was that items had gone missing, presumed stolen. But when he left that day on a supposed business trip, we knew there had to be something not quite right. "We deny any claims that we were ever apart of this sick plot. How Mr Brinor managed to use our corporation name in the way that [...]
In a public statement, mere hours after news of the official Gallente Federation stance on the theft of the Molyneux, the Fountain Alliance has offered their support to the Federation Navy in any attempts to recover it. "Fountain Alliance welcomes the Federation into its space, and will do all that it can to aid the process of returning the Molyneux to its rightful owners. We hope those who have aided Serpentis corporation will be treated as they deserve in Federation territory from this point [...]
Since last Friday's shocking Serpentis strike against a Gallente cargo transport convoy, an incident that saw one of the Federation's six titans disappear into the hands of the criminal organization, numerous questions have been raised in the media as to President Foiritan's apparent unwillingness to send troops outside the jurisdiction of CONCORD to chase after the stolen vessel. The Office of the President has denied that any spurious motives lay behind the decision not to send the Navy into the [...]
This just in: As reported by Federation Navy High Command in the last hour, the culprits of this morning’s coordinated strike upon Gallente assets in the Alperaute system have been identified as Salvador Sarpati, CEO and founder of the Serpentis organization, and several high-level commanders and operatives in his personal army. Also confirmed was the capture of one Gallente Soltueur titan, the Molyneux, by the Serpentis forces. The Molyneux is the first Gallente titan in history ever to be seized by [...]
After last night’s statement from Perkone, CBT have been quick off the mark with a backlash of remarks. In a public statement CBT were unwilling to accept the findings of Perkone and the supposed evidence from their contact Kyogen Steiner, demanding that something be done to investigate the proof of their findings. As of yet no hard proof of any kind has come to light and CBT do not feel that words are enough of an argument. CBT have asked that a direct apology be given from Perkone and that this [...]
This just in: a Federation cargo transport passing through the Alperaute system was three hours ago intercepted by what is believed to have been a Serpentis strike force of unknown size and make-up. Preliminary reports indicate losses on the Gallente side were significant: in addition to dozens of frigates and a number of cruisers and battleships, the Federation is said to have lost control of one of its six Soulteur titans into the hands of the Serpentis. Federation officials have at this point [...]
In a statement today by Frantian Brinor, Perkone's Warehouse Logistics and Factory Manager for Uemon, it was brought to the attention of The Scope that the mysterious attackers who have been plaguing the lower regions of The Forge may very well be pilots from CBT (Caldari Business Tribunal). After further scrutiny of the information given to Mr. Brinor by Kyogen Steiner earlier this evening in Uemon, Perkone has decided that an official statement had to be made on the matter, highlighting CBT’s [...]
This just in: several major interstellar news agencies have in the past twenty-four hours run breaking news on a new development in the Insorzapine bisulfate investigation being undertaken by the CEP Business Bureau. According to a report apparently leaked by a top-level Bureau aide, the Insorzapine variant carried by renegade scientist Ullia Hnolku and his wife is in fact a drug capable of wholly reversing the effects of Vitoc on the human body, breaking the chain of cellular addiction which keeps [...]
In an unusual turn of events, Caldari corporation infighting erupted into a bloody public spectacle as Terra Infinitus' flagship was attacked and destroyed in front of shocked onlookers in the New Caldari system. The ship and is escorts had previously come under attack in the Jan system, and it appears the battleship was attempting to escape several ambushes. Unconfirmed reports indicate that several pilots lost ships as the fleet defended itself. Surprisingly, automated CONCORD defences failed to [...]
