Tanoo, Derelik - Officials of the Amarr Trade Registry monitoring the Ammatar Mandate have declared that food production within the Derelik region has returned to pre-invasion levels with a consequent reduction in food imports from other regions of the Amarr Empire. Since the Elder Invasion, the Mandate has been highly dependent on food imports and has barely managed to stave off famine in some areas. The Elder Invasion of YC110 caused widespread damage to many agricultural plantations within the [...]
Maurasi - The Caldari Business Tribunal is to examine a claim filed by the CBD Corporation against Ishukone. According to the plaintiff, Ishukone has "employed dubious tactics" in the Khanid Kingdom, "aiming to stifle competition and secure monopoly via illegal means." Experts say that the accusations in question are serious but highly unlikely to be proven true, noting an increase in inter-corporate disputes over the past month. CBD states that Ishukone engaged the services of certain mercenary [...]
Pator - The murder of Abel Jarek several weeks ago in what seems to be a religiously-motivated attack has highlighted growing tensions over the Amarr faith gaining a foothold in the Republic. According to a survey by the Republic University, most Nefantar and a significant portion of other recent immigrants from the Mandate and the Empire are choosing to keep their Amarrian religious beliefs. While this segment of the population remains a tiny minority, according to the survey such a minority was, [...]
Anchauttes - Fourteen security teams left their posts at the Fedmart Retail Center in Anchauttes, and several more have stated their intention to do so tomorrow. Gilbin Doyle, spokesman for the Anchauttes Security Union, explained: "We are understaffed and underpaid. We have substandard equipment and poorly managed dispatch systems. We can't afford to let this continue. Lai Dai starts moving into our system in less than two weeks, and we're going to see a notable rise in domestic disturbances and a [...]
Trytedald - The Vherokior tribal court has agreed to hear the case of Oguko Hagori, a former Mandate industrialist who fled to the Republic during the Elder War last year. Hagori is suing Urban Management for control of land his family once controlled on Trytedald III. His case is one of many being pursued by Nefantar immigrants in the wake of the Elder War, as most such lands were confiscated by the Republic government during the Minmatar Rebellion and made available for public use. Hagori is the [...]
Pator - The Minmatar Republic will not ask the Thukker tribe to release the apprehended fugitive crime lord Baliggan Krullefor. This decision was reached in a special meeting yesterday between the Republic's most senior judges and several members of Sanmatar Shakor's government. The emergency session was held in response to an announcement from Thukker Mix claiming their refusal to extradite Krullefor to Republic authorities. Following the conclusion of the meeting, representatives of this assembly [...]
Luminaire - A storm of criticism followed the latest Presidential press conference, in which the Administration claimed that its "wait and see" policy toward recent events in Uphallant was both correct and justified. Scope financial analyst Normand LeVard said, "the fact that things didn't go horribly in Uphallant has less to do with President Foiritan's actions and more to do with how the Caldari do business." He further called Poksu's decision to halt the annexation a "happy accident." This opinion [...]
M-MD3B - Thukker Mix has claimed that fugitive crime lord Baliggan Krullefor was captured by a search party in the Great Wildlands. According to a Thukker Mix spokesman, the fugitive was brought to an undisclosed location for holding and that he will not be released to Republic custody: "Krullefor and his Thukker associates will not be extradited," said Alfrald Enstulf, the spokesperson for the Thukker search teams. Reactions have been harsh, with a statement from the Republic Security Services [...]
Uphallant - After announcing their takeover of Material Acquisition's operations in the Uphallant system last week, The Poksu Mineral Group has put the entire project on hold. The reversal in position stems from a contract dispute between Poksu and partner Nugoeihuvi. Originally, Nugoeihuvi was contracted to provide logistical support to Poksu from its stations in the Uphallant system. However, disagreements between Nugoeihuvi and Sukuuvestaa (which owns the controlling interest in Poksu) over which [...]
Sasta, Derelik - In an announcement that further signals Royal Heir Yonis Ardishapur's determination that the Ammatar Mandate be a major contributor to the strategic goals of the Amarr Empire, the Ammatar Fleet has declared five major shipyards in and around the Sasta system as once more fully operational, ready to supply and refit the ships of the combined Ammatar and Ardishapur fleet forces.

Hroduko - Three inmates escaped from a maximum security facility in Metropolis last night, following an attack by several unidentified craft on the space-bound prison. Violent riots erupted as several security systems failed, and parts of the facility remained unregulated for hours before security could be restored. One of the escaped inmates is Baliggan Krullefor former head of the Krullefor family, a notorious Thukker criminal organization. The Republic Justice Department stated that the identity of [...]
Pator - The Republic's Tribal Heritage Museum opens a new exhibit this week, featuring the work of Starkmanir artist Jaed Erhan. Once an artist-in-residence for a high-ranking Holder in the Mandate, Erhan is now committed to, in his own words, "showing the value in Starkmanir culture." "Our enslavement by the Amarr, and the destruction of our tribe's identity, have left the Starkmanir adrift in the ether," said Erhan at the exhibit's opening. "Now is a time not only for the rediscovery of our [...]
Luminaire - As transports carrying Poksu personnel and equipment began arriving in Uphallant, a protest was taking place in Luminaire, with demonstrators calling upon President Foiritan to act decisively to address the situation. The public has been vocal in its outrage, and voices of dissent have also been heard in the Gallente financial sector, with investors calling on the Foiritan Administration to offer government-backed guarantees on assets annexed by the Caldari. While the administration has [...]
Intaki Prime, Placid - Since news broke of the shortages upon Intaki Prime, Carlani Hudson, of Hudson Industries [HDIN] has been delivering aid to a station above the planet. The items are then placed into a waiting hangar, where they sit until they can eventually be brought down to Intaki Prime. It is a relief effort that has seen more than 400 Million ISK worth of supplies delivered.

Tanoo, Derelik - With primary reconstruction of the Ammatar Mandate's infrastructure nearing completion, the Ardishapur Family has announced a 'Body and Soul' program of hospital and religious building construction. As is common within the Amarr Empire, the hospitals will be run by the various religious orders that dedicate themselves to medicine and related religious duties, and many of the planned religious buildings will be attached to these hospitals as a matter of course. Adreyi Ezion, the Chief [...]
Rens - Acting on reports of thousands of emancipated slaves still stranded within the Amarr Empire, the Servant Sisters of EVE have announced their intention to provide a transportation service to the Minmatar Republic's immigration centres which will be free of charge to all formerly enslaved citizens. The service, similar to that run by InterBus, will operate from Rens and run on an as-needed basis to any system within the Empire. 'We recognize that not all of the released slaves can afford the [...]
Uphallant - The Poksu Mineral Group announced today that it would take over administration of Material Acquisition's extraction and refining operations in the Uphallant system. Though the State's decision to auction off development rights in the occupied systems has been well publicized, this announcement marks the first time that the Caldari have formally annexed existing facilities in the border regions. As part of a negotiated profit-sharing settlement, Poksu personnel and equipment are slated to [...]
Tanoo, Derelik - Over a year since the Elder Invasion of Derelik, and more than six months since Empress Jamyl I assigned the Ammatar Mandate to Royal Heir Yonis Ardishapur as his personal fief, the consolidation of Ardishapur rule in the Mandate appears to be almost universally welcomed by the Ammatar populace. While the after-effects of the invasion continue to be felt, the influx of Ardishapuran aid and expertise to the Mandate has steadily eased the worst of them and restored the Derelik region's [...]
Ostingele - Since the Caldari decision to auction off areas of occupied Gallente space, a number of development projects have been put on hold or halted all together. One of these is the SalderTech terraforming facility on Ostingele III. The facility, which was involved in mass atmospheric carbon-capture operations, has been idling since shortly after the Caldari took control of the system. The process is an intensive one in terms of both chemical and energy use, and a lack of necessary supplies has [...]
Pimebeka - Manufacturing companies large and small have begun making aggressive plans to increase their output, with companies like Khanid Works and Carthum Conglomerate leading the charge. The driver behind this anticipated growth is the steadily increasing volume of high-end minerals entering Amarr space from the nearby regions of Delve and Querious. Wracked by constant warfare between capsuleer alliances for the past two years, the regions have once again lapsed into relative tranquility. Doul [...]
