Good morning, Colonials! Thank you for tuning in to 107.7 FM, the voice of the Republic. Dawn today here at New Hope presented clear skies, with calm winds and a warm temperature of -5ºC. Believe it or not, we are in what Pecos has to offer for “summer,” so let’s enjoy it before the winter’s storms rage again. Space isn’t as calm today, as the Colonial Military’s 15th Squadron has been raised to a higher alert status due to action going on within the Baffin system.

And now for breaking news. With the twentieth anniversary of our arrival to Sirius near, President Corvin has announced that our new city, currently under final construction phases, on Yuma’s northern seas finally has a name: New Thessalonica. A large number of food shipments were recently delivered to stock up on supplies, and efforts are being made to effectively clear small regions of the mainland for settlement.

People are really excited about finally leaving this frozen rock. At this point however, New Thessalonica will only be able to house about one hundred thousand citizens. Corwin has also assured us that city construction and service workers will be first to receive residences there.

In other news, our Minister of State, Nelson Steele, has departed on a diplomatic tour. The other day, he reached his first stop with the Gas Miners Guild in the Sigmas. We can only speculate about the topics of the meeting with the GMG, but is very likely that trade agreements be on the table along with a more open diplomatic channel. There are rumours abound about the exchange of military technology but there has not been any official confirmation about those claims.

That’s all for now Colonials. We will be back soon with more Colonial News.

Take care and be strong.
