    • YC110-09-29

      Dastryns - An outbreak of illness spread last month through the Federal Administration Bureau offices in orbit of the 17Th moon of Dastryns VII. The cause is still undetermined, though it has been linked with a shipment of long-limb roes recently distributed among the station's restaurants. Despite this link, station medical researchers report no success in treating the illness. Despite the pathological similarity to known bacterial infections, standard antibiotic treatment has remained ineffective. [...]

        • YC110-09-25

          A recent report by the Federation Census Bureau reveals that the number of Minmatar immigrating to the Federation has been dropping noticeably in the past three months, with some analysts going so far as to suggest that a net flow of zero may be reached at some point in the future. Previously, the Federation was accepting a large and steady flow of Minmatar immigrants every month, but recent estimates have the numbers dropping by as much as 15% each month, with current trends this month anticipating a [...]

            Hedion - The Coronation of Jamyl Sarum as Empress Jamyl I that was due to be held tomorrow has been postponed one week, Chamberlain Hemirin announced today. The Chamberlain did not explain the change, but did note that the future Empress had approved it. Speculation on the event is rife throughout the Empire. Some point to several inauspicious events such as the recent disappearance of several Speakers of Truth enroute to the coronation; and an outbreak of Phyrezi fever, a short-lived but virulent and [...]

            • YC110-09-23

              Hedion - Jamyl Sarum will be coronated Empress Jamyl I in three days' time, Chamberlain Hemirin confirmed today. It has been known for several weeks that the coronation would take place imminently, but the precise date has been kept secret. At a packed press conference this evening, Hemirin cited "unresolved security issues" as the reason for keeping the coronation date from the press for so long. Hemirin asserted also that although attendance at the coronation event itself was strictly by invitation, [...]

                Cautious Reaction to Shakor Inauguration from Caldari State

                • YC110-09-22

                  New Caldari - Sources within the Provist establishment have reacted cautiously to the news of Maleatu Shakor's inauguration as Sanmatar and his desire to dissolve the Republic Parliament in favour of a council of tribal leaders. While the Caldari State is at a low point in diplomatic relations with the Minmatar Republic due to hostilities between the State Protectorate militia and the Republic's own Tribal Liberation Force, one Provist official, declining to be named, indicated that this development [...]

                  Minmatar Corporate Stocks Level On Investor Uncertainty

                  • YC110-09-21

                    Stocks of Minmatar corporations remained level through the end of the trading today, as continued uncertainty with regard to government reformation, economic and trade policies, production capability, and commercial security tempered any gains projected from increased interest or market activity. Trading volumes on Minmatar-based stocks were extremely light, with investors seemingly on hold until further information comes to light. Analysts have stated that they expect trading volume to rise [...]

                    Gallente Drone Manufacturing Sector Reports Slumping Profits

                    • YC110-09-21

                      Luminaire - The Federal Stock Market dropped several points today in reaction to news of slumping profits from a number of drone manufacturers. Analysts attribute the slump to an increase in human military recruitment as well as a general shift away from automated defense systems in the wake of the recent invasion by the Caldari State. While no significant losses have been recorded among the major players in the drone industry, news of a slowdown following instability in the Gallente military sector [...]

                      • YC110-09-21

                        Reactions across the cluster were mixed following the release of an independent audit into the recent workplace reforms in the Caldari State. Claiming to have seen the results of the reforms better than any others outside the State, the Khanid Kingdom and Amarr Empire both offered their support of the changes. Carthum Conglomerate spokesperson Maktina Obasa said the corporation had benefitted from the flow-on effects of success inside the State. Partly owned by the Caldari mega corporation Lai Dai, Ms [...]

                        In the Federation, Minmatar Expatriate Reaction Mixed to Shakor's Ascent

                        • YC110-09-21

                          Jel - While the ascension of Maleatu Shakor to the position of Sanmatar and his proposed reforms to the government of the Republic have been largely greeted with open arms by the Republic's population, the Minmatar expatriate community in the Federation has been considerably more divided. Nowhere is that more apparent than here in Sinq Laison, where the Minmatar minority in the Federation is most established. In the Minmatar neighborhoods of Jel V, the debate over Shakor's merits rages in bars, [...]

                            • YC110-09-19

                              A tense political showdown was sparked inside the Federation Senate today following the recent release of an independent audit into Tibus Heth's reforms. Seizing on the absence of President Souro Foiritan, opposition members of the Senate took to questioning his deputies on matters normally handled by their superior. Senate Foreign Relations Committee Head Aulmont Meis had to repeatedly deny making any official comment on the Saari Report, stating that the government needed more time to properly [...]

                                The release today of the State Independent Audit Bureau's 90-day audit has painted a cautiously positive view of State Leader Tibus Heth's reforms. Delivering the report at a crowded press release, Assistant Auditor General Dr. Heyata Saari said the paper offered a comprehensive overview of reforms undertaken by the Heth government. Dr. Saari once again stated that the focus of her team's research had been on workplace reform and reorganization. Among the many new programs reviewed, one highlight for [...]

                                • YC110-09-16

                                  Boundless Creation announced today its intention to begin an extensive reconditioning program across its industrial assets. The initial stage of this program will see the reopening of 10 mothballed manufacturing complexes across the Republic by the end of the year. Analysts predict that the jobs created by this move will slow the continual rise in unemployment that has been plaguing the Republic's economy for decades. The factory-complexes in question were all shut down within the last decade in [...]

                                      Illuin, Metropolis - The public remarks of Sanmatar Maleatu Shakor have caused discussions throughout Minmatar space. While most citizens feel that Shakor's reforms are just the thing to shake the Republic out of its state of lethargy, the man is not without his detractors. Sebiestor representative Malius Udine went so far as to label Shakor's efforts at reform a "naked power-grab." For the most part, Shakor's stated goals have been well-received by the Republic's political elite. Speaking on the [...]

                                        Gelfiven - Following their miraculous return from a disastrous expedition to find the Minmatar Elders, the surviving pilgrims have released the details of their harrowing experience.

Following their departure from regulated space, the convoy slowly travelled [...]

                                          Gelfiven - Against all odds, five of the ships missing for weeks in the Great Wildlands have returned to Republic space. The five surviving vessels are the last known members of the large pilgrimage that entered the Great Wildlands weeks ago in search of the Minmatar Elders. The large but vastly underprepared convoy left Republic space weeks ago and shortly thereafter all contact with them was lost. In the ensuing weeks, hope of survivors faded as evidence mounted that the fleet had been completely [...]

The Sanmatar, which is now the formal title of office, thanked the assembled dignitaries for the honor and stated that this was simply the first step towards creating a new system of government for the Minmatar people. Sanmatar Shakor then went on to outline his vision for this new government with the formation of a council of tribal heads to replace the parliament as the [...]

                                              Pator - Maleatu Shakor has been awarded the newly resurrected title of "Sanmatar", the Minmatar Republic government announced today. The title is used by some Ammatar on their lands, where it means "true home". Another meaning is "true Matar", an honoured position of the Minmatar Empire, the government's release says. The Sanmatar was the de-facto head of state, acting as a mediator for the Council of Tribes. This position brings a costly honour for its bearer, who must renounce all ties to their [...]

The survivors are still under Fleet purview and are not being made available for media questioning. They are officially listed as Held Indefinitely for both medical and [...]

One such individual was Kuremi Leschun, a retired Squadron Commander who served almost forty years in the Federation Navy. A decorated soldier renowned for leading numerous strikes deep into Serpentis territory, Leschun is held in high esteem by military officials and ordinary citizens alike. "This [...]

Ionos Skye, captain of the salvage ship “Bated Breath” reported the find to Republic Authorities upon having made safe return to Nimambal with his cargo. Intentionally vague about the exact size and location of his find, Skye would only say that the field “looked to be about a dozen medium size ships”. Skye [...]
