"Sources today confirmed that the Imperial faction of the Kusari Navy has gained ground in the Kyushu system, taking orbital control of Planet Kyushu itself and beating back the Battleship Nagumo as it tried to hold it's ground to maintain control of the region for the Kusari 'Republic'. The Blood Dragon Shogunate has been unable to comment at this time. However we believe that this does not bode well for the Coalition's ally in House Kusari due to the old regime's intense hatred of the Blood Dragon movement.
In other news the Ministry of Plenty has announced that due to the high incidents of Civilian deaths due to mis-identification of Military/Civilian targets by enemies of the People's Republic the Engineers of Mykolaiv have created a distinct IFF for Military Ships and Stations. The Coalition Military IFF. From hence forth the IFF simply known as 'Coalition' will refer to Civilian transports or escorts rather than the armed forces of the Republic. This will hopefully cut down on Civilian deaths due to mistaken identity.
Critics claim that the IFF may be used by Militas seeking to defend Civilian interests which may lead to more violence against Civilian traffic, however the State Duma has applauded the Ministry of Plenty's actions and have ordered the installation of the IFF Transponders to begin immediately. Even now Zhukovsky, a Civilian-run facility, now transmit under the new IFF protocol while other military facilities are now being equipped with their own new transponder signals."
