Today's top story: Policy on Foreign Capital Ships

The Core wishes to remind the populace of it's policy on foreign warships in Omicronis' space.

No matter the identification or affiliation, The Core has agreements with the Houses to return vessels fleeing their post back to House space. The crime for infringing upon Core territory with a foreign Capital is 3,000,000 credits. Once this is done, the ship is escorted out of the Omicrons.

If The Core sees you, you will be stopped and dealt with as above. If you refuse, you will be destroyed without mercy.

The Core believes in making examples out of others. This is a recent incident in Omicron Delta:

Daniels reporting in.
I usually don't log mediocre boring stuff like this, but an exception must be made. Earlier today, at approximately 1800 standard Sirius time, I responded to an alert. A Rheinland Battleship was present near the Freeport. We didn't invite it there, nor we welcomed it. The RO claimed he was a junker that somehow managed to get his hands on a battleship. Unfortunately for him, we saw through his crap. Just as I mentioned my last encounter with a Rheinland made warship in Delta and it's infected state, the RNC-Schiller came knocking. Speak of the devil, right? We gave the Krauss plenty of chances to comply with our orders, but when the Wilde ship uncloaked ten clicks from it, we did what we had to do. Total and utter annihilation. No mercy, no remorse. As it went down in flames, the RO claimed they were boarded and infected. Something we already knew. I had my HK drones perform a sweep of the area and purge any alien lifeforms.

Meanwhile, the mighty Schiller and her crew had a change of heart. They were no longer on the offense. The odds weren't in their favor anymore and they managed to lose the element of surprise. Those things underestimated us, thinking we wouldn't drop the righteous hammer on them within the no fire zone. But guess what, no nomad and co are safe around us, NFZ or not. The infectees ran with their tails between their legs. One desperate and pathetic torpedo was launched, but our fast-movers barraged it with an ordinance of explosives, blowing it up before it even got near to the Freeport's NFZ. Thus, their exceptionally sad sabotage attempt was foiled.

[1] [2] [3]

In retrospect, we obliterated one Rheinland battleship cold in it's tracks, before the infection had the chance to spread throughout it, we scared the second one crapless and as a bonus, we had a nice target practice. And on top of that, we most likely saved the Freeport from a whole lot of infectees with guns and no regard for personal space whatsoever. I should prolly talk to that admin of theirs and kindly advice her to stop handing docking rights left and right like drug dealers hand out free samples. It's all fun and games until someone goes on a nox fueled killing spree with a shovel and no pants.

All in all, today was a good day. Daniels, out!

~Yours Truly, Jack Daniels, Guildkeeper of the Core and STILL the most hated person in the Omicrons.

Today's top story: Dabadoru NEMP Strike Aftermath

The Core is publically publishing its report on Operation D.A.B (Dabadoru Artillery Barrage). Approximately several months The Core launched a nuclear strike against the Order held Dabadoru station. This inflicted serious heavy damage, and it seems the station was only capable of accepting supplies just recently.

In an act of desperation, the Order rallied its same-scum criminal allies, such as the Coalition, to help repair the station via supplies of Deutrium. To help defend these deliveries, the Order deployed some of it's forces to the Omicron Delta system. Whilst the deliveries were a success and our agents report that Dabadoru is at least semi-operational again, The Core dealt heavy blows and major losses to The Order forces.

Unsurprisingly, the Order Overwatch was absent from most of the engagements. Perhaps with Delta far away from Mu, combined with the increasing pressure of Nomad forces in the Omicron Minor system, the Overwatch is struggling to protect its assets?

All in all, Operation D.A.B was a decisive success; a successful blow in undermining The Order's already weak position in the Delta system. For those in Omicronis only one question remains: what comes next?

Breaking News: Contract signed with Universal Shipping, Core goes on the offensive against the Coalition

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! I am your favorite Guildkeeper, Jack Daniels. I'm live here at a press conference smack in the middle of Liberty. You might be wondering why me and not a proper reporter instead? Well, I'll tell you why. I can afford it! Freedom is what I stand for and I aim to lead by example!

I'm overjoyed to report that I've managed to secure a contract with yet another of the Big Three. Universal shipping will be shifting vast amounts of resources our way and in return, we'll be selling them top quality Iridium, amongst other things. Of course, none of our other supplies will be harmed by this new player on the field. I've had the APM run the numbers andtheir Acting CEO, Natasha Rayne, personally approved and signed the contract.. She herself was thrilled, to say the least.

As a result, we'll be able to build even more ships and weapons. And you know what that means, folks! We're going to continue bringing boots to asses! Needless to say, this wouldn't have been possible by one very special businesswoman, Nicole Burton. Her... expertise was invaluable.

All jokes aside, this logistical union will further our goals and thanks to the newfound supplies, we'll be able to sustain, and even increase, our offensive operations throughout the sector.

And here's a bonus section for you! As of this moment, Battlegroup Ehrgeiz is being dispatched back to the Omegas. During the last few days, we have confirmed that the Coalition is actively cooperating with the order, so it's time we did something about it. The Core won't tolerate random fanatics invade our space. No! We shall invade them back and bring the fight to their doorstep. The best defense is total and absolute annihilation of your enemies! I will personally lead the operation and you can be sure, I'll make those communists pay for their crimes against the Imperium! They will curse the day they joined the party!

Gloria Aeterna, brothers and sisters! Stay Strong!

Breaking News: Guildkeeper Daniels demoted and re-assigned to APM, Jessica Scarlet rises through the ranks.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! This is Natasha Rayne reporting live from Durban station. The Core HC meeting ended moments ago and the now former-guildkeeper Daniels stormed out of the lounge where the assembly took place just a few moments ago. We stormed after him and he answered a few of our questions. Let's see what he had to say, roll the tape!

Quote:Natasha Rayne: Mr. Daniels, is it true you were demoted due to your inability to effectively lead our fleets? Is it true that under your command, the Core lost a significant number of vessels?
Jack Daniels: That's bullshit and you know it. Archos had it in for me since day one. I don't know if he sees competition or a threat, but the fact is, I remain the most experienced man in the entirety of the Core. Actually, I think it's APM now. Still, I have nothing against a fresh start, private sector luxuries and most importantly, not being in the same room with Nathan. That man has a certain odor and it's not lavender either.
NR: What are you plans now, Mr. Daniels? Are you going to back off?
JD: Back off? Hell no. I'm going to focus on Dagger station and use my newfound influence to further fortify it's defenses. I'll make sure Battlegroup Ehrgeiz is well supplied and maintained. That is my duty as APM director, isn't it? Oh and uh...Archos! You can bet your ass I'm taking the Perditrix with me.
This interview is over, thank you Ms. Rayne.

There you have it, ladies and gentlemen! Strong words from Director Daniels and I'm certain this isn't that last we hear from him! Unfortunately, we couldn't find neither Archos nor Jessica Scarlet to comment on the situation.

Stay classy, ladies and gentlemen! I have been Natasha Rayne for the TCNS. Have a good evening!

Breaking News: Alabama Shipyard Prepares For Mass-Production

With its recent diplomatic successes and the finalisation of the Nauru Docking Ring, in the near future, The Core plans to greatly expand upon its operations in the Omega-55 system, as well as starting to build up its presence in the neighbouring Sigma systems. This will require a hefty amount of Iridium, with AP Manufacturing more than willing to pay those who make deliveries.

Supreme Guildmaster Archos had the following comments:

Quote:
Archos: For too long, civilian ships in the Omega region have had much to fear from barbaric pirates as well as bloodthirsty revolutionaries. The Core hopes to, working alongside local powers, deliver much-needed justice and security to the Omega region. Our Omega chapter is flourishing nicely with a recent influx of recruits - all that is needed now, is ships. Lots of ships.
Reporter: And what about the Sigma region?
Archos: The Core has been monitoring an ever-increasing Nomadic presence within the Sigmas. With the rising tensions between local powers, The Core is worried about the ability of Rheinland and Kusari being able to keep the Nomads in check. The creation of a dedicated Sigma fleet should allow us to adequately cover the region and protect civilians from the Nomads and other dangers whilst the Houses are locked in political drama.

And there you have it. In the coming months, we expect to see swarms of ships coming out of Omicron Rho and populating the local area. If you see one, be sure to wave and wish them good luck on their conquest!

REBRANDING! TCNS BECOMES TONN!

TCNS has been rebranded to TONN - The Omicronis News Network. The reasons for this is to make our news feel more inclusive and more accessible to the citizens of Omicronis. The news centre has now shifted from Durban and is based in Athenia City on Nauru instead.

WAR IN THE SIGMAS! CORE RESPONDS

Earlier this week, rising tensions between Rheinland and Kusari reached a breaking point and exploded into a culmination of the all-out conflict between the two Houses in the Sigmas. Rheinland and Kusari have already published statements, and Rheinland has specifically stated that APM Advanced Hardware is prohibited from being transported to Kusari.

John Garcia on behalf of APM has released a statement to employees:

ENCRYPTION: APM-STANDARD

Good evening colleauges.

As you are all probably aware, war ■ has broken out amongst two of our customers. APM not wishing to lose favour with either side of the conflict will hereby cease BAU transports of any military class related goods to either house. All employees are advised to take care when travelling through the sigmas and to adhere to any military personnel encountered during your travels.

It is expected that APM Hardware will still find it's way into this conflict as both houses have received shipments in the past and deliveries to other houses will still continue unaltered.

:::[Current Embargoes ]:::

It is expected that in a time of war both houses will hold strong borders and vigorously enforce embargoes, whether or not you choose to adhere to the constraints of these are down to your judgment. This specifically and currently relates to the Rheinland Embargo of Azurite Gas into Kusari (and would apply vice-versa if Kusari had declared an embargo as well), although APM considers this to be an interesting item indeed, its raw battlefield application is essentially non-existent and APM employees are not prevented from continuing transport of this commodity into either house.

Rheinland embargoes the following into Kusari
Ablative Armor Plating,
APM Advanced Hardware,
Armaments,
Azurite Gas,
DT Fuel,
Light Arms,
Military Vehicles,
Munitions,
Nuclear Devices,
Plutonium
Side Arms.

Kusari is yet to enforce an embargo.

All employees are to understand the risks of blockade running and are to take full responsibility should they be found breaking the terms of any house embargo. All non-military class commodities are to continue as normal, this includes unprocessed minerals and ores as well as basic processed Iridium and all fuels.

Supreme Guildmaster Nathan Archos has also released a statement. We have only been able to obtain a snippet however:

Spoiler

That concludes this report.

CORE DESTROYS ORDER BATTLESHIP IN OMEGEA-58

Recently, Dagger Outpost came under vicious attack. It was concluded that the assailants were no other than the cowardly Order - striking at humble men and women simply trying to make a living from Planet Skagen. A Core Battleship was quickly dispatched before it intercepted and destroyed the Battleship Canaan. All crew on board were reported to have been eliminated. Another victory!

Pictured: the carcass of the Canaan drifts in space.

In the meantime, said Battleship will support our efforts in the region before it is most likely deployed there permanently. Who knows what treasures it'll find as it explores the Omega region?

CORE PUSHES TOWARDS OMICRON GAMMA

With The Core's grasp over Delta solidified, it's now starting to go on the attack towards Corsair space. Skirmishes have gone as far as Chi and Xi, with rare raids sometimes going into the heart of Corsair space: Omicron Gamma. Reports indicate that Xi's rich collection of rare artifacts and ruins are what has drawn the attention of The Core, as well as The Core taking over Rheinland's operations in Xi as they turn their attention to the Sigmas instead.

Pictured: Omicron Xi, with Syros Shipyard visible.

So far, frequent raids have been made against Corsair structures within Xi, with The Core hoping to pick up Rheinland's momentum and capitalise on the power vacuum. As of current, mining operations within the system are not being looked into. This may change in the future.

At this time, we are unable to report on the exact nature of Core operations in Omicron Chi.

DHC CONSTRUCTS ENNIBECK SPACEPORT IN ORBIT OF TUVALU

As part of an agreement with DHC and to increase civilian presence and security in the Omicrons, The Core has cooperated to build an installation with Daumann Heavy Construction in orbit of Tuvalu, near Nauru. This has allowed for civilian traffic to be diverted from Yaren to Ennibeck, ensuring Yaren is converted to a proper military installation within Nauru's orbit.

Pictured: Ennibeck Spaceport, Tuvalu and Nauru.

Ennibeck has also begun to produce additional mining equipment for The Core and AP Manufacturing to use, for both their operations on Nauru and in space. Most notably, DHC has begun to produce Hegemon and Surveyor miners en masse for Omicronis' usage.

Lastly, Ennibeck has also lead to an additional influx of MND personnel to assist The Core with their operations in the Omicrons. This added security can only be a boon.

ARCHOS STEPS DOWN, ROTTSCHILD BECOMES GUILDMASTER

Earlier this week, Guildmaster Archos resigned and his post was taken by William Rottschild. Why did Archos made this decision wasn't discussed with the press.
Many speculate Archos burned out and wasn't capable of leading, but in truth, he's still on the Core's active roster, although most of his active assignments are highly classified.
The former Guildmaster did tell us his plans about the future: He'll be seeing a whole lot more action and much less paperwork. We're with you, Archos, give 'em hell out there!

NAURU DOCKING RING NOW 100% OPERATIONAL

Fresh from the APM's press center, we have information that Nauru's Docking Ring is now fully functional. All minor engineering flaws and defects were sorted out, allowing our vessels, along with anyone else on good enough terms with the Core, to freely and safely visit the surface. We actually have a few words from the Director of APM, Mr. Jack Daniels:

Quote:First, I'd like to congratulate all of you for reaching this milestone. Nauru has become an anchor for us and it gave us the strength to continue opposing our treacherous enemies day in, day out. Make no mistake, our job is far from over. Now more than ever, we must stand together and stand strong. The Order and the Corsairs will no doubt try to take this away from us, but we will not let them. We will continue protecting our sovereign space and fight tooth and nail. And also a few thermonuclear warheads.

Porta Nauru was ten years in the making and some of the people who dedicated the best years of their lives to it are not with us anymore, but their hard work will not be forgotten.
Their sacrifices will be honored and their legacy will live on for many years to come. Rejoice, people - for this is a start of a new era for us!
Daniels, out!

JESSICA SCARLET RESTARTS BATTLEGROUP EHRGEIZ

And last but not least, Battlegroup Ehrgeiz has a new acting commander - Guildkeeper Jessica Scarlet. If you have forgotten already, the Battlegroup is based on Dagger Station and it serves as a buffer between us and them. This decision was taken because of the recent attack on Dagger by the Order. It is rumored that Ehrgeiz will still feature the Mako of the same name. Other additions will be the Heavy Cruiser Herschel, Destroyer Tyrannus and last but not least, the legendary Battlecruiser Anassi. A truly marvelous piece of engineering and the favorite ship of more than three separate Guildmasters. I don't know about you, but I will sleep better at night, knowing Scarlet the "Ehrgeiz" got our backs.

TOP STORY

APM LAUNCHES HOUSEHOLD PASSENGER TRANSIT - INTERVIEW WITH ASTROGATOR AURILIUS GOODFORTUNE

This is field correspondent Liang Takanawa reporting live from the command deck of the Invincible – first genuine passenger liner of the APM merchant fleet. With me is astrogator Aurilius Goodfortune, first star captain to this new commercial branch of Omicronis home economy.
Astrogator, could you tell us about this exciting new venture?

- Thank you Ms. Takanawa. Since Imperium Omicronis had opened its gates for the broad civilian populous of Sirius, new commercial prospects arose. The obvious one is of course colonization. Planeside infrastructure for large scale settlement had already been in place when AP Manufacturing broke up the champagne over the newly installed orbital docking facilities. While goods exchange flourished from day one, passenger traffic proved rather slow. A recent market study conducted in all the major houses has shown that though interest in migration towards the Edge Worlds is on the rise, the dangers a such lengthy voyage carries is rendering low fare commercial passenger transport simply not worth the risk. Being the industrial tycoon of the Edge Worlds, AP Manufacturing is capable of meeting this demand by treating it as an investment in state prosperity rather than pure return value a service actively rendered.

That is a most noble approach. Yet the question that is likely vital to potential customers is how you intend to address the safety concerns?

- That is an excellent question. Let me start by saying that since its very beginnings The Core has been standing guard between humanity and the great unknown. It is thanks to their selfless devotion that civilization remains shielded from predatory alien species of inconceivable intents. Moreover, those keepers of mankind wage war on yet another front against savages, criminals and terrorists who sought out the Edge Worlds for free roam of their despicable, madness driven, unlawful conduct. Hence safe transit through the Omicrons as well as parts of the Sigmas is ensured by the Omicronis strong militant arm.

And what about the dangers that lurk outside the reach of The Core, for instance in house space and in the border worlds?

- Both The Core and AP Manufacturing are allies and close business partners with the recognized lawful house authorities of Sirius, so naturally we are under their authority and protection while venturing through their respective space. Still, to strengthen the confidence in our capabilities, APM passenger liners will be equipped with a military grade loadout of defensive weaponry. Though I hope not ever needing to resort to lethal measures, I will not flinch in the face of danger to those who put their trust in our company.

I could not think of anything that would be more reassuring than an attitude like yours captain. Could you tell us about the routes the Invincible will be covering?

- Certainly. The greatest interest amongst settlers resides in Rheinland, particularly Hamburg and Stuttgart. If this prospect keeps up, we will consider launching a steady route between those systems and Planet Nauru directly. Apart from that we shall also cover routes from California and Honshu to the transit point at Freeport 11, depending on current demand. Local travel agencies have already added our offer in their range of services, tickets should therefore be available for sale any day now. I should add that APM covers free travel insurance for all passengers choosing us for their flight to the great frontier civilization of Imperium Omicronis.

Most enticing. To our viewers outside of the Edge Worlds – log in to get your tickets now! From what we just heard, they will surely be gone quickly.
To conclude the topic of our interview, we already know to expect settlers immigrating to Nauru, but how about tourists? What exciting sights can the adventurous vacationer expect from a stay in the capital?

- Since I myself too have an adventurous mind I am pleased to say that there is no other place in known space to be as rich in traces of ancient galactic civilizations than Nauru. The hobbyist xenoarcheologist will be thrilled to take a tour through uncovered ruins and architectural remnants of races whose presence in these parts antedate our own by millennia. Several sites which have been deemed safe for public access will be open for sightseers to be awed. Our guides will be happy to tell you about the discoveries we have made, the histories we uncovered and the mysteries that still puzzle even the brightest minds. The Athena City Museum of Xenoculture houses the largest collection of most unique artifacts from the Dom’Kavosh era and beyond, found not only on Nauru, but also liberated from the hands of smugglers out of the infamous Omicron Gamma sector, home to the savage pirate cartels known as Corsairs. Tourists and sightseers will surely find a trip to Nauru more than titbit.

Thank you captain, I am sure that if anyone who considered taking a trip to Nauru had been sitting on any doubts, he’ll surely be booking the next flight by the end of this interview, along with anyone who hasn’t up until now.

The Invincible will embark on her maiden voyage in the upcoming week. We bid astrogator Aurilius Goodfortune and his crew good luck. My name is Liang Takanawa, signing off.
