[color=white][font=Century Gothic]:: "Mad Knight" Ayleward Killed :: Rogue Battleship Destroyed ::

[color=white][font=Century Gothic]December 13, 0130 AM New Paris Standard Time: thousands of Royal Citizens turn their heads upwards as, for a brief moment, a second sun emerges above Planet Nevers, turning night into day, marking the end of tonight's lockdown of the Burgundy system. This most unusual event was caused by the gargantuan explosion of the Arielle's Vengeance, flagship of the infamous terrorist commander Remi Ayleward, which was destroyed after a brutal struggle between Ayleward's men and a joint task force of Royal Navy soldiers and Direction d'Operations Speciales agents led by none less than Directeur Adrien d'Orleans, Comte of Orleanais.

Inside sources, when asked about the reason to why Ayleward could easily penetrate the Burgundy-Champagne frontlines was because he coerced his way in by threatening to execute independent journalist Zoe DeLisle which he cowardly took hostage. His intentions are still unclear, though DOS analysts believe he was planning to launch a warhead against Avallon Station, the GRN's borderworld headquarters. During the negotiations between GRN and Ayleward, a team of Direction d'Operations Speciales Counter-Terrorism specialists covertly boarded the hostile vessel, freeing the terrorist's hostage and thus putting an end to his vilely acquired "immunity". The Ciel Incendre, flagship of Champagne's exiled Duchess Elria Ciel, was given the order to engage and, as expected, Ayleward was swiftly eliminated. The Duchess, Directeur d'Orleans, Duke Mersennes and the DOS hostage rescue team are currently considered to be Prince Joseph' Medal for Glory candidates; additionally, d'Orleans, Mersennes and Duchess Ciel have been proposed to receive the Royal Medal of Victory.
