CNN SPECIAL REPORT:
Zoner Alliance base destroyed by Order
Ralf Warren: Good night, ladies and gents! I am Ralf Warren, directly from our studios in downtown Las Palmas, Planet Gran Canaria, with some exclusive news! Earlier today, a small Order fleet attacked the Zoner Alliance base at the Kappa jumphole in Omicron 74.
Since last year the Order has declared the ZA enemies, and sieged this same base several times before. Only this time they succeded. Me and my news crew were on site today and witnessed the attack on the base and we also asked a couple questions to the Order operatives there.
We will give you all the details on the siege right after this break. We will be right back!

====================================
Ralf Warren: Aaaaaand we are back! So, today we received at Lanzarote Base a communication via the Zoner network about a siege going on at Omicron 74. Our new ship, the CNN-Quick.Response-Two was all setup on standby, so we quickly launched.
This was the scene when we arrived. A small fleet of Order capital ships, including the Order|CV-Inquisitor heavly modified Nephilim jugg, the 141|Sobek Aquilon class carrier and a handful of Osiris class battleships. Heavy firepower.
During the siege, an Unknown ship appeared. I had never seen such type of ship before, and it was not identified in the Sirius ship database.
Very strange! Looked like a several centuries old ship, veeery powerful. Luckly we did not had confirmation of that, because the ship's captain was just curious about the siege and disapeared on thin air the same way it showed up.
Finaly, after a few hours of siege, the base structure started to collapse and the powercore exploded, desintegrating what had left of the base.
During this siege I was able to make a few questions to Commander Davids, leader of the Taskforce 141, that was assiting the Order primary forces. Here is the dialog transcript. Other ships chatter was edited off for a better comprehension of the conversation.
Quote:[27.01.2014 22:18:29] CNN-Quick.Response.Two: Warren: What triggered today's attack on the station after so much time?
[27.01.2014 22:18:43] Order|CV-Inquisitor: Peace never happened.
[27.01.2014 22:19:18] 141|Sobek: Davids: Well, I cannot reveal secret information, but the Order always kept ein eye on the Zoner Alliance and their doing.
[27.01.2014 22:21:46] CNN-Quick.Response.Two: So, Commander... What have the Alliance done this time then? Or that is classified information?
[27.01.2014 22:22:17] 141|Sobek: Davids: Oh, so you don't know what their doing was in the past?
[27.01.2014 22:23:34] CNN-Quick.Response.Two: Warren: So what you are saying, Commander, is that they have been meddling with nomad technology again?
[27.01.2014 22:23:55] 141|Sobek: Davids: Again? I dare say they never ceased to do so.
I should also mention that it was stated they have not decided how they will proceed about the other Zoner Alliance bases in the system, but it was said that "the ZA will die". Strong words. We will be monitoring closely the situation, and any new development we will update you during our next newscasts.
That's all we have for now, friends. From downtown Las Palmas in the beautiful Gran Canaria, this is Ralf Warren saying goodbye for now! Thanks for watching!
