Early yesterday morning, disaster struck the capitol world of Sanctuary, when an as-yet unidentified craft emerged from a point-singularity drive ion an uncontrolled approached to the world. Despite the best efforts of the System Defense Force and other local vessels, the vessel collided with the planet's atmosphere, sending debris raining down over Terra Casus and neighboring regions causing widespread damage. While no word on the origin of the vessel has been released, initial eyewitness reports suggest it to be the rumored-to-be missing ship the SFCV Heart of Winter (BB1-02). Requests for comments to Central Command, and to the Senate of the Initiative have gathered only that the situation is under investigation. More on this story as it develops.

More than a month has passed since last contact was had with the Aditi System, one of the most recently colonized systems of The Initiative, and more than three weeks since a travel warning was put in place against vessels transiting to the system. While initial suggestions of something temporary instability on the jump point initially seemed plausible, no recorded phenomenon causing such instability has been recorded with such duration, leading some to speculate whether there may be more to this story than previously appeared. Central Command announced that an entire task force has been dispatched to monitor the jump points, and assist any vessels that do emerge. Many remain hopeful that travel and communications will be restored soon. |
Two new teams have been added to the Low-Gravity Sports League (LGSL). One of these two teams is unusual in that it is fielded by the Empire of Tensa's royal family, as part of efforts to ease the tension between the Initiative and the Empire. The other was established and fielded by the independent world of Ashael, and represents several nations from that world. Sports speculators have already been wondering how they will stack up against more experienced teams. |
