Good Morning Sirius this is a Colony News Broadcast.
Earlier today fierce fighting broke out near planet Junyo in Shikoku, our reporter saw three Liberty Rogue vessels in direct confrontation with noble Hogosha Black Dragons. The final result was that the Hogosha drove back the Rogues towrd Deshima station where they were subsequently destroyed. However this is telling of a larger and more recent problem in the Shikoku system, that of full blown gang warfare. Rogue assets have been springing up in formerly Hogosha controlled areas, bringing with them drug and prostitution related activities. Hogosha insiders claim this is a direct result of recent decline in Hogosha activity. A Kusari state trooper is quoted as saying "It's full blown war out there, the two sides refusing to give ground." It is evident the Rogues see new opportunities from the now dormant Kusari House. How long this war continues depends entirely on the resources sent to beat the foreign invaders back.
In related news a new Gallic threat has appeared in the midst of Kusari, Gallic Brigands have been seen pirating in Kyushu, robbing traders and running off before KNF forces have had a chance to mobilise. KNF sources reveal that the Brigands seem to be basing themselves out of the Taus. The Farmers Alliance have decried this new invasion of foreign criminals as symptomatic of the new Kusari administrations approach to foreigners. "Invite gaijin into our home, and they will briing in their own filth." Why the Gallic pirates have chosen to make Kyushu a home away form home is unknown though government insiders believe it may have something to do with the Golden Chrysanthemum movement.

Feel free to yarr it up. Hogosha, you're now in a full blown turf war with the Rogues. Feel free to gun them down. KNF will need to respond to the arrival of French pirates. Le Yarr and all that.
