The Confederacy with the backing of the Brotherhood and the CIA launched a daring strike into the Capellan periphery this week, attacking and destroying the IMP Perdition. Heavily outnumbered and out gunned, the deep explorer only lasted the first round before the main hull was breached and the ship exploded.

UK Mail strike
The strike is now set to be a series of one-day strikes, until further notice. This is less disruptive that a continuous strike but will cause some problems with our service. It would be a great help if you would try to send in your turns as early as possible, or better still send them by Fax or E-mail, for the duration of the dispute.

Message from SMS Little Italy
The governor of the colony finds the GTT negligent during the Fighter Manoeuvres, and requests payment for the rebuilding of the RTS link destroyed (10,000 stellars) and crash site repairs (5,000 stellars).
Message from the Imperial Viceroy
The Viceregal Administration has noted the irresponsible activity by the GTT on Caplla, demonstrated by their using weapons in such a way as to endanger life and property in and around the SMS colony Little Italy.
Consequently the Imperial Viceroy has suspended the issue of all upgrades to the GTT until such time as the SMS have been compensated for any damage done to them by these activities and the GTT have shown themselves to be responsible members of the Empire and fit to be in possession of advanced weaponry.
New Research Project
There has been some interest in developing anti-chemical weaponry. My initial idea is to use 1mu of medical supplies and 4mu of chemicals to produce anti-chem kits. These are removed from a colony on a one for one basis in the event of a chemical weapons attack, although I would like a rule concerning security complexes and crackdown. Has anybody any ideas?
Alien Governments
There has been a change in the leadership of the CLN's. If you want any information, please write to Richard Cozens. His address on the front cover of all IGN's.

From: CNF Central Command
To: Whom it may concern
As from week 25.196 all Flagritz ships are banned from confederate space. Any ships sighted will be posted and are liable to attack. Similarly any colonies or ground parties belonging to the FGZ will be posted and attacked.
More on the hostilities between the FGZ and the CNF
Following the recent Confederate victory over the Flagritz in the Plague system, the Imperial Viceroy was asked for permission for rebel ships to transit Imperial space enroute to the Flagritz home system, Inferno, to continue the conflict there. The Viceroy made the following statement:-
"I guarantee that there will be no IMP ships in SS 2535 in the Dorn system for the next 10 weeks and will not move a fleet into Inferno against the treaty with the FGZ. I would not even dispute your right to Inferno if you actually managed to get yourself wiped out."
It is believed Confederate forces will shortly be taking advantage of the Viceroy's generosity.
POSSIBLE POSTAL STRIKE
Yep those chaps are at it again. There is always the fax and the e.mail though e.mail should be sent to orders@kjcgames.com
*********It's Not Fair*********
The FGZ wrote a very long letter regarding the CNF attack on their ships accusing the GM of being guilty.
In summary,
The CNF had not just cause to attack for the following reasons:
The deadline they had imposed had not yet run out
The fleet were there with the purpose of defending valid FGZ interests and the lives of FGZ citizens against piracy.
GM response:-
At no time did the FGZ ask permission of the CNF to be allowed to bring fully armed warships into CNF space.
The AFT and the DOM have to abide by these restrictions while in CNF space, are the FGZ above the law?
The CNF requested the posting of two ships, on this basis, I allowed it. What the CNF then do with their ships is entirely up to them. When I pay for their turns, then I will run their ships.
I hasten to add that the FGZ have taken the set back better than any player during my time running the game. True role players.
******Subspace Static Week 23 Year 196 - 30th May 1996******
*********Space Battles*********
Just to bring everybody up to date, the treaty of non aggression and rights of colonisation between the Confederacy and the Flagritz lies in dust. The reasons are long and complicated and here is not the place to discuss private issues. Since then the Flagritz invaded Confederate space with armed ships and the Confederacy was forced to respond. The CNF lead the attack on the scanned and posted FGZ ship but were supported by the DTR and BHD.
The FGZ defended their ship and the two sides clashed in a mighty battle. Casualties were taken on both sides. The battle at an end, the sides separated. After the battle there are reports of pirates attacking, but the results are not conclusive. It seems likely that they picked up the pieces from the fight, maybe even a few human ships.
******Subspace Static Week 22 Year 196 - 23rd May 1996******
*********Space Battles*********
This week the Flagritz hit back against the RIP, reducing much of Captured colony to rubble. This took the might of many Baseships to accomplish but the results were impressive, unless of course you happened to be at the scene of the battle. Having heard that there was a RIP ship in the vicinity, the FET became involved and despite facing over a thousand photon guns, didn't lost a single ship.
The CIA made good its promise to destroy the RIP ship stealing CIA property. The Harlequin's Kiss received another thoroughly good kicking.
The GTT ship CNF ARE PUSSIES was reduced to atoms. Eye witnesses place the odds at eight ships and a colony to one, who said the Confederacy didn't have a sense of humour.
*********Ground Battles*********
The CLN and the DOM came to blows this week but this time the boot was on the other foot with the DOM initiating the attack. Reports are that things did not go so well for the DOM and that the colony defences were breached.
*********Other News*********
Closer to home the FET lost the Cosmic Joke in the first crash landing this century. Sabotage is suspected.
More sabotage is suspected after a lone GTT space fighter plunged into Little Italy while on manoeuvres over Capella. An investigation will take place shortly (by the GTT of course).
******Subspace Static Week 21 Year 196 - 15th May 1996******
*********Ground Battles*********
The RIP have once again switched targets. Having grown bored of harassing the Imperial forces of the Capellan periphery and spending a short vacation in the Cluster pussy bashing, they have decided to assault the meanest bunch of aliens in the galaxy, the Flagritz. How they landed such a large ground force on the planet is still open to question, but what is known is that after a long and bitter struggle the Flagritz colony crumbled and fell to the RIP.
*********Other News*********
GTT Weapons Testing
The planet of Capella was shook to the roots and the population of SMS Little Italy had to remain indoors this week as the first of the orbital bombing tests were carried out. These were a surprising amount of stray shots for the manoeuvre, some landing within a few kilometres of the colony. These though have been put down to lack of practice, hence the need for more runs.
Message from the CNF
In response to the FGZ message in subspace week 20
The Plague system is not and never has been under the administration of the FGZ. The Plague system is subject to Confederate Law and no other Law.
The FGZ have totally overstepped their authority. They are not allowed to stop exploration or open fire on shopping. If they have had any problems with the occurrences within the system, they should have notified the CNF Central Command and not issued threats. No complaints have been received hence there was no problems in the view of the CNF. As this is the third time that the FGZ have violated the treaty, it is with some regret that the following action is to be taken.
1. The CNF order the FGZ to close its embassy and remove all its possessions from the Plague system by week 24 196.
2. The CNF will break off all diplomatic relations with the FGZ forthwith.
Relations will remain suspended until the FGZ decide that they wish to pursue relations in a less public and more civilised manner rather than resorting to intimidation and threats.
******Subspace Static Week 20 Year 196 - 9rd May 1996******
*********Ground Battles*********
With the permission of the IMP the RAT have been allowed to build a large heavily armed party on Utopia. With this force, they destroyed the last traces of the Naplian resistance. Has Simms (Viceroy for the Imperials) finally lost his marbles. Maybe he has been indulging in cheap food exported from the inner empire.
*********Space Battles*********
The CLN are again strutting their furry stuff, this time attacking defenceless DEN ships while peacefully trading with DOM colonies. Luckily nobody appeared to have been injured although it could easily have turned out much worse for the CLN if the DOM had been involved.
The RIP took what could cheerily be described as a good kicking. A lone frigate ran into the FET Spoils of Battle. This FET ship is a veteran of the Cluster skirmish, when the CLN almost annihilated the other pirate group, the DOG.
*********Other News*********
Rubis has just recruited the aid of the most famous techie in the peripheries, Fisbo. If you have ever had dealings with him then you may find at the bottom of your ship turn that you can call in that favour that he promised.
The first of the Ships of the Line were launched this week from the Imperial shipyards at Jax. The crowds cheered and the party is apparently still in full swing. It is interesting to note that the very first to be upgraded was in fact an FET patrol cruiser. Good old Simms.
The Flagritz Darkfold Command reminds all interested parties that, as agreed with the Confederate High Command in the year 195, the Plague system is under the Flagritz Administration. It has been noted that a limited number affiliations have conducted activities in this system with no authorisation from the FlagDarkComm. It is reminded that every colony or outpost requires a permit from the FlagDarkComm and every ship conducting exploration requires an exploration permit. Ships are however, authorised free passage though this system for the purposes of trading. In this way, the FlagDarkComma announced that, as of 25.196, every illegal outpost or colony found on any planet or moon in this system will be confiscated, and every unauthorised ship or ground party will be fired upon. Every position currently active in the plague system and not registered should contact the
FlagDarkComm at once to obtain a permit to avoid posting and subsequent action.
Over the next few weeks the GTT will be conducting exercises on Capella. Therefore anyone planning to visit the planet's surface should first check with the range safety officer at GTT HQ, to ensure that they do not stray into a live fire zone.

Boarding Action
In an overpowering display of force the DOM stormed the DOG Scourge. At present it is not known whether the crew survived as security is pretty tight. The reasons for this action are unclear but it may be for war crimes against the Clans and the new policy of mutual cooperation that is rising between the two factions. For more information on the subject please contact the DOM. It is still inadvised to book your holidays in the Cluster though.
*********Other News*********
I am currently working on the drafts for a new combat system for the game. The direction that I am hoping to take is that of a personal perception of a battle through the eyes of the captain of the ship with greater attention being paid to the enemy, support and defend lists. Your PD's have more information on the subject. Already this is proving to be no easy task but I will keep you informed as to the progress.
******Subspace Static Week 18 Year 196 - 25th April 1996******
As Mica is on holiday this week, there is no game news but there is a update on what is happening with the BSE rule book.
The rules are now completed and are being laid out ready for printing. This will probably take a couple of weeks. When this is completed, they will then be sent to the printers. We would expect the finished books to be ready some time in May. All existing players will be given a free copy.
At the same time we are going to have new turncards and turnsheets. We are also in the process of redesigning the Training manual. One of the changes is that new players will start in Yank as it is more central. Photocopied versions of the new Training Manual will be used from now on. Mica has started on the Affiliation booklets and hopefully these will be along soon after the rule books.
It is our plans for all the printed materials for BSE to be matching, in a similar way to a set of wedding stationery. We know it has taken us a long time to get things sorted out but we wanted the rules to be correct when it was printed. When you see it, we hope that you will agree it has been worth the wait.

According to gossip circling the starport gambling complexes, it would appear that the DEN have found a new enemy.

The SSL Sell - off Update
The IMP have announced that due to the current economical environment the deadline of the payment of the bids for the SSL colonies will be put back. As of the now, at least 60% of the bid must be paid by the end of week 17 to secure the option to purchase. They still do not get possession of the colony or ship until the rest of the outstanding bid has been paid.
Agent Activity
There has been a slight change to agent activities that should avoid the paranoia regarding the colony print out line, "Agent activity in your starport". From now on, if a agent acquires a market report then the line will read, "Agent acquired market report", nobody has to post anybody and the guns can be put away. This is also a zero risk mission. The reason for this should be obvious, sometimes it takes to long for the colony owner to respond and should save players a little bit of frustration. This has no bearing what so ever on other agent activities.
Trainee Turns
At present the affiliation recruitment officer receives a list of all the trainee positions available for recruitment. This is made up of all the ships designated TRN and turn 1. As those players that are generally interested in the game carry on for more turns and those who only wanted to run the free turn drop out after the first, it has been decided that the list will be made up from the positions registered as TRN and turn 2. This will mean a saving of quite a lot of money over the year for the recruiter and also means that the reply to letters will be greater.
GM Goes on Holiday
Yep I will be gone, out of here man, away, cheers and thanks for all the fish. But only for the last week in April (starting 21st, game week 18). So make sure you either send those special actions to be processed on the Friday before or save your TU's for that 140TU turn. Budget turns will not be effected and business will be as usual.

Update on the St. Brenden tragedy - Notice from GTT HQ
As usual the press get half a story. Commander Justonius, of GTT Saint Brenden, reports that he was recently involved in an experiment, involving the teleportation of goods and people from orbit to the planet's surface and back. This set of experiments is now completed, and the rest will be studied by the GTT Scientists. It is hoped that in time they will perfect the system.
Market collapse at Tortuga
Never before has such an incident happened. The complete buying market at Tortuga was closed this week as the colony plunged wildly into debt. The SMS are the candidates blamed for this tragedy, as they off - loaded as much goods as possible to cover their bid for the largest SSL colonies. As yet nobody has handed in their resignation but it is thought somebody may be fidgeting uncomfortably in their chair.
Colony Improvements
If any players have any proposals for improvements to colonies, could they write them clearly on a separate sheet of paper and send them in with their turns. All will be read and considered for the changes that will come into effect for class five colonies. There has already been extensive drafts drawn up, including private markets, specialist colonies, crime and motivation as well as another approach to the classification system and the factory output as a consequence.
There is no rush on this.

Official Notice from the Imperial Headquarters at Jax.
The Imperial Services are not authorised to interfere in the internal matters of another Affiliation's colonies unless specifically requested to do so by the Affiliation concerned. No such request has been received from the RAT in relation to recent events at Sin City.
The Viceregal Administration are concerned about the reported deaths of Imperial Citizens in transit between colonies on the GTT Behemoth St. Brenden. The GTT are to be requested to hold an internal enquiry into the incident and to report the results to the Viceroy's office as soon as the enquiry is completed.
Unofficial Notice - does this mean that the new governor at Sin City is not bound by the agreement signed by the late governor. Start building those guns. As for the GTT, another one for the sweepers. There must be quite a bump in that mat now.
Rumours are spreading concerning the spree of deaths that are plaguing certain colonies in the Cluster after the launch of their new artificial human.
All is quiet in the DOM/FET confrontation. Is it possible that things have been sorted out and nobody has to shoot anybody? If history repeats itself, not likely.

And it came to pass that the True One spoke unto his people, the Brotherhood and let it be known that he was displeased with them for the lack of teachings in the world, that other preached the false ways. The Brotherhood felt shamed that they should lose favour with the True One and with tears still staining their faces and blood their clothes from self flagellation, they mustered the forces. They saw upon the land an infestation, it had a name and that was Serenity. Their wrath was unchecked as they beheld the foul unfaithful teachings and with fire swept the land purging the evil, for the Brotherhood are a jealous people and in light of the True One no others may stand.

MESSAGE FROM THE KASTORIAN MILITARY JUNTA
Yank and Skord are neutral territories, any attempts to jeopardise this will result in the removal of any and all positions of the offending affiliation via the use of MAXIMUM force. Agent actions are also considered to violate the treaty.
News is out that in an isolated incident, a bio augmented robot attacked and killed colonists somewhere in the Cluster. As yet no more information has been leaked.
Rumours of a coup d'etat in Sin City have filtered out this week. The former governor is believed to have been forcibly removed from office and now Mad Dog McAddie is in residence. A message broadcast from orbit mentions threats of annihilation of the palace, should total and immediate surrender not occur. All are awaiting the IMP's response.
Reports are coming in from distressed colonists which can only be described as a massacre. The unscrupulous use of space and lack of necessary life support led to the death of over 100 loyal citizens of the Empire. There has been a call from the survivours to question the captain of the St. Brenden.
Some colony orders that may be of use to players:-
TM (item number) - Gives the tech blurb for the item. Item must be in colony. Counts as 5 orders.
TL - Gives a list of the items researched by the colony.
AL - Gives a list of the items researched for the entire affiliation.

The first round of the SSL auction drew to a close with the sale of all the colonies. It would appear that despite their quiet confidence, the GTT did not get the former head quarters as it went to the SMS. This should prove interesting as tempers frey over the next few weeks. Will the IMP be forced to get involved or will it all be sorted out around the conference table? Not likely if the past is anything to go by. There are still a few frigates and patrol cruisers available for those players interested in a new ship. Again, enquiries are to be made to Geoff Jolly.
*********It's Not Fair*********
Turmoil continues in some corner of the galaxy over artefacts, which raises the question, are the CLN really FET puppets or just the FET in fur coats?

The FET showed their confrontational nature this week in a dispute with the DOM over an artifact from another time. Supported by the CLN the pair bombed the site in an attempt to recover the half buried item. The DOM suffered casualties. As of yet no detailed information is available, although an investigation is underway. This has all the merits of an intergalactic crisis. (Wasn't this how the CLN/DEN dispute started. It is interesting to note that although they are not leading this one, they are certainly involved).

This week convinced me that the RIP wrote the space battle program. They managed to attack the CLN blowing up four of their cheetahs and yet still only derelict an FET indiamen which they promptly boarded!!! This will not go down well in CLN Antioch. In another battle the RIP derelicted a grizzly, although it was completely unarmed? Could it be that the RIP have destroyed the CLN reign of terror.

The Dreaded Devastator
This seems to be the popular subject on the net at the moment raising tempers on all sides.
This is my version of the events. Some time ago the proposal for the devastator was put forward by the IMP Viceroy as the class eight ship for the affiliation. This was at the height of the CLN/DEN crisis with war seeming likely. Combined with this, there was rumblings from the Confederates concerning the Skord system. This meant that only cursory attention was paid to the devastator and at the time it seemed the next step, being of a similar jump that the sizes had taken so far. This was a big mistake, my only defence being that I am human. Since that time though I have done extensive work on the devastator and the implications of allowing the ship in the game in it's original form. First I compared it to the only other class 8 ship currently available. This is the Behemoth. This ship is impossible to use as a war ship, this lead me to the idea of making the devastator impossible to use as a trade ship. The ship's design would use narrow passages and small iris valves with everything battened down (this is necessary in case of a breach during combat, only small sections are lost. Look what happens when a super tanker is breached!). I now read on the net that the ship was actually wanted as a trade ship and not a warship. This surprised me as it was contrary to what I was told. I was under the impression that the ship was meant for war. It is clear that the trade restriction isn't popular. Since then I have run off many mock battles against most other ship types and numbers, using the standard IMP set-up. This will deliver more than 5000 points of damage in a battery.... BOOM. Not much can survive this. It will quickly become the case that whoever owns this ship could destroy opposition very quickly. Anything smaller than a frigate is not even worth considering. Not much fun for new players knowing that there ship can never go into battle till it receives a huge upgrade or even for other players that can't afford to run many positions. It's capability as game destroyer is to great in it's present form. As this ship is not yet in the game I feel that although I may be changing my mind, I am doing it for the good of the game.
My final point is that the IMP has worked hard to push a colony to class eight and deserve a reward, the unmodified form of the devastator is a time bomb.

It is not known if the dissident survived.

SSL Auction
Due to internal politics (and some new legislation by the Emperor within the inner Empire), the SSL have decided to withdraw their commitment to expansion in the periphery (some have suggested that the Emperor's price is at least 100 times that of the Viceroy's). This means that their property will be sold off to the denizens of the peripheries. This will be conducted under the Viceroy's directions, with all that is not sold being relocated to the Inner Empire.
Transactions
Yep, we all make mistakes from time to time but recently have noticed more and more people are using the wrong areas of the ship for picking up and delivering from. There are two areas:- Functional and Cargo. In most cases, functional and cargo are both in the main section BUT ITEMS DO NOT WORK IN THE CARGO SECTION. Also if you are delivering, avoid the use of the term main. e.g. deliver 5 gpi from main. This gives the inputter a 50:50 chance of getting it right. It is even more frustrating for you when you have the same item in both main functional and main cargo and the wrong one gets delivered.

Striking both sides of Yank Kastor divide they account for the dereliction and subsequent capture of four ships. Only the IMP Foxy Lady showed any form of resistance. This demure little freighter packed one hell of a kick and we all know which section it was aimed at. Some of the crew survived the attack but not the meeting with the Pirate King himself. Known for his sado-hedonistic fancies it is believed that the captains lasted quite a long time, not nice.

Following the recent cry of war from the CLN over various injustices the DEN have backed down in the face of overwhelming odds. The leadership for the DEN saw it as prudent to agree to all demands from the CLN in order to prevent a war. The Volga will soon be with the CLN fleet again.
