New Worlds

The Lishtani Continuum and the Dra'kesh Empire both report the successful colonization of new planets.

The Listhani report that the name of their new star system is Trancis. It is a trinary star system just outside of their home zone. Major colonization efforts are being expended upon Trancis B/C IV, which appears to have some very interesting life forms. The rest of the system also appears to have so abberant traits, prompting cautious exploration.

The Dra'kesh Empire has colonized the world of Hive. The dominant indigenous species on Hive appears to have become extinct, allowing the Dra'kesh to make use of the remaining hives created by the insects. The capital has officially been named Sand Haven and construction of a major orbital intallation has begun using the hulks of the colony fleet. 6000 dra'kesh are now calling the planet home. A military expedition from the SQT is currently visiting Sand Haven as a show of strength in the new alliance.

Razgat Attacks

The Razgat have begun attacking Minor Empires in the Tri-Sector area in a series of organised and shocking attacks.

The first attack was an unprovoked strike upon the Codoj state-ship Segne. Three Razgat bioships iterrupted the diplomatic conference between the SQT and the Codoj. Two of the ships bored into the Segne and began a boarding action, while the other provided cover. Timely assistance by two Archaen corvettes allowed SQT warships to dispatch the operational bioship, but the situation onboard the Segne is still unknown.

The second attack was on a Listhani trade convoy leaving the Selesthian Protectorate of the SQT. The Razgat fleet appears to be made up of ships captured from the K'tan 21st Fleet. Thus far, the Listhani and SQT vessels have been able to withstand the assault, but the future is in no way certain. The sources within August Empire of Archaen report that reinforcements from that empire are enroute now.

Incoming Q-Storm

A quantum storm of uncommon strength is rapidly approaching the Tri-sector area. The Seven Stars Empire is already being evacuated in preparation for the assault of Q-storm Eloise. Eloise has a high level tech-core which causes the most severe disturbances in high magic zones. This storm is an irresistable force. To give you an idea of its magnitude, it has destroyed an IGNM relay station in the Teimar sector.
We strongly caution all sentients to take shelter on a planetary surface and deactivate all technological and magical devices. We especially recommend that all Tri-sector navies cancel any manuvers and return to port.
