Subject: Jacium Outpost Auction
Stellar Mining and Smelting is looking to auction out a total of two Jacium outposts located on Rhea in the Titan system, space square 2958. These have a yield of 0.1 and will have one mine on them when they are sold. There is no stockpile.
Bidding is made in private to the DCC's office. No details on bids will be made public. Individual bidders are free to announce the nature of the bids officially if they wish, but no such information will be given from the DCC, nor will the DCC make any comments on bids, whether made officially or not, during the bidding period.
Bids may be in the form of cash, items, technology, information, services or any other valuable commodity, and any combination of such. All bids will be judged subjectively by perceived value. Questions as to the approximate value the SMS puts in various commodities will be answered in public on the online forum. The identity of the inquirer will not be made public.
Bidding on each outpost starts at 50,000 Stellars or other commodities at that approximate value. The two bids with the highest perceived values will get the two outposts. The identity of these will not be made public.
Bidding will commence for exactly two months after this message has been published in IGN. Only parties allowed to own outposts on Rhea in Titan may make bids.

Press Statement by the Office of the Imperial Viceroy.
After careful consideration of the CNF's selective interpretation of the General Agreement on Access to the Wormhole the Imperial Viceroy has decided that it gives him the latitude to be selective as well.
Accordingly, until further notice, all affiliations are allowed unrestricted access to the Wormhole when it is located at SS1852 in the Teller (147) system excepting the CIA, for reasons explained below.
Those affiliations normally banned from free passage inside the Borders of the Stellar Empire are to leave the Stellar Empire or approach the wormhole via SS1852 in the Storm (145) System only. Previous permissions giving immunity to wider areas are hereby withdrawn.
The CIA are excluded from this agreement on the grounds of their Agent's activities at IMP colonies Leeward and Ultima Thule during the last several weeks. All of the numerous agents captured that have decided to save their lives by naming their employers have identified them as CIA. This exclusion of the CIA from access to the Wormhole will continue until there has been a continuous ten week period of no agent activity by the CIA in any Imperial Colony. If further agent activity takes place after that the ban will be re-imposed.
Any CIA ships sighted within the borders of the Stellar Empire will be posted in accordance with current practice regardless of their location. The Ships of other banned affiliations will not be posted if sighted in Storm (145) SS1852, or Teller (147) SS1852. Elsewhere normal restriction and prohibitions apply.

From: Emperor Sarek, The Falconian Empire
I have send a list to the Forum, that explains how to get permits to use in our system, it seems that I did not explain them good enough. Now and again do we have contact with other races that wish their affiliation to be allowed into our system, when it opens.
A quick note, our system is still not open, so please don't try to enter.
To get permits, do you need to do this:
AFFILIATION LEADERS:
You get in contact with Commander Harkon, and he will send you a friendships treaty, that you then need to confirm back to him. (A new treaty will be made soon and send to interested affiliations) (We ask of you only to obey our laws and follow our guide lines)
AN AFFILIATION THAT HAS SIGNED ARE PERMITTED TO:
Have one of their Governors set-up one colony in our system, just as in Yank, max. one per affiliation. The colony owner will receive 4 other permits:
1 Colony Enforcer permit.
3 Exploration permits.
All their ships are granted trade permits, this permit will start when a ship enter our system and expires after two weeks time. (This mean that the ship must leave within two weeks time after it has entered our system, and then re-enter to get the trade permit again)
Exploration permits, this one can only be allowed by Emperor Sarek. This will allow a ship to stay in the system for a longer time.
Enforcer permit, this one can only be allowed by Commander Harkon. This will allow a ship to ignore the 25% weaponry law.
AFFILIATIONS THAT HAS NOT SIGNED:
Affiliations that has not signed the friendship treaty are not allowed to send their ships into our system. But single ship captains can ask for permits as below.
SINGLE SHIP CAPTAINS:
Ship captains of affiliations that has not signed our friendship treaty or IND/TRN can still ask Commander Harkon or Emperor Sarek for the permits, which we will grant depending on that ship captain. Single ship captains are still required to follow our laws and guidelines.
ROGUE SHIPS:
Ships that still enters our system without permits will be posted, so please don't enter so that our relations with your affiliation worsen. A bounty will be place on each ship.
Commander Harkon: Peter Howells, 51 Thornleigh Gardens, Bangor, Co. Down, Northern Ireland, BT20 4NW.
Emperor Sarek: Dan Larsen, Sebbersundvej 30, 9220 Aalborg, Denmark.
Flagritz Republic Public Announcement
It is with great pleasure that the Flagritz Republic announces that from this day, the Democratic Native Alliance is part of the Flagritz Nation.
The leaders of the DNA, after deliberation, unanimously chose to join the Flagritz Nation and be full citizens of the Flagritz Infernan Republic, joining in this way the Hive, who did the same in the recent past.
The Flagritz Nation is very happy with the recognition from the Infernan Periphery native races of its effort in keeping the traditions and preserving their existence from the expansionism of other less concerned races.
In this way, the Flagritz Infernan Republic hereby declares that any aggression towards any member of the Hive or the Democratic Native Alliance, will be responded to by the Joint Forces of the Republic, since these races are now an integrating part of the Flagritz Nation.
