*********Subspace Static Week 26 Year 198 - 26th June 198*********
*********Space Battle*********
It is almost impossible to encompass the sheer might of the Empire when it finally raises its slumbering body. Having been riled by the arrogance of the Flagritz for the first time in many years the forces of the Empire mustered for an assault on the Flagritz head quarters. The fleet consisted of the Imperial forces under the command of Vice Admiral Sophia Argento, the SMS marshalled by Rear Admiral Nider Bergene and the FET press ganged by Vice Admiral Harcourt. The entire warfleet was directed by the GTT Star Admiral Robert the Bruce. The warfleet comprised more than eighty vessels, most capital warships. Certain destruction was assured. Or was it?
The Flagritz may be arrogant, they may be hostile to humans, they may even smell, but they are not stupid and have learnt a lot since their disastrous battle with the Confederacy. Having promoted a new Attaman for War, under his guidance a rout was turned around. Quickly established draw-fire emplacements were used to confuse scanners into firing away from the head quarters. What few Baseships were on maneuvers were swiftly directed to the scene of the conflict under the cover of korondite in order to refit and finally any space worthy pile of junk was launched to intercept potentially crippling damage. This worked with remarkable success, and as the report continued to come in, it became uncertain who was winning.
One reason was the Flagritz joint command by Rear Admirals Bres Voshn and Clian Voshn ordering no retreat no surrender. During the initial fire fight IMP Mano Rosso commanded by Vice Admiral Sophia Argento was destroyed by the HQ batteries, but still the assault continued, the forces following IMP Vice Admiral Nikolai Chertsov. Sadly he too was lost during the final stages of the fight again the victim of the vicious fire power of the infernal colony. The fate of the brave Flagritz Rear Admirals is not known at this moment although some believe that they died at their posts. The defensive presence of the Dominion will go some way to infuriating the Flagritz, don't be surprised if they turn their attention to them in the near future. With the dust settling, it is uncertain what will be the next move of either Empire.

GM Markets
In order to encourage inter affiliations deals and to increase the value placed on Stellars, we will be decreasing the buying prices at KJC controlled colonies. The price deduction will be in line with the morale value of the items bought, or the availability of an item. This has come into play with the backing of many politicals and is one of the changes that has been determined by players to improve diplomacy within the game. Happy trading.
*********Subspace Static Week 25 Year 198 - 19th June 1998*********
*********Space Battles*********
Scout ships of the Flagritz nation encountered heavy resistance during their patrols. Even in their home system GTT forces destroyed them with no mercy. The task of the scouts was successful and the Empire's forces were located.
*********Ground Battles*********
Defensive Flagritz forces successfully destroyed massing forces outside one of their colonies. The ease of the success makes you wonder if this was a distraction for more determined assaults somewhere else. Only the Empire knows for sure.
Reports are filtering in from darkest Darkfold of skirmishes with natives. As to what is actually happening, no reports have been leaked. From this it seems obvious that the CIA have a hand in the operation.

*********Space Battles*********
A few skirmishes in the Capellan periphery may be a preclude to a larger encounter as the Empire gears up to face the Flagritz once and for all.
In an unrelated incident the RIP successfully captured an AFT Free Trader after bloody hand to hand fighting at the docking hatch.
In the distant reaches of the Noctollis periphery, the DEN have disturbed a slumbering giant with disastrous consequences. They are not giving out information regarding the adversary, but the loss of all hands in a sudden and deadly blow has given them food for thought.

GM Markets
After a long and sometimes heated discussion among political players, the conclusion has been drawn that GM markets such as Hypso, Thorn, Highstar and Balmoral have buying prices that are far too high. From the beginning August, the markets at the GM colonies will change to bring the prices more in line with the value of the items. This is the first of a series of changes to improve the dynamism of the game.
*********Subspace Static Week 23 Year 198 - 5th June 1998*********
*********Space Battles*********
The RIP have finally managed to capture an FET Deep Explorer after many weeks of ion cannon bombardment. At the other end of the universe, the DTR have destroyed all the pirate yachts that had interrupted their shipping. Imperial ships were destroyed after a short visit to a Flagritz stronghold. Two Carrier class ships bit the dust in a titanic display of fire power. Within the Cluster Periphery, the Clan has decided to martial their forces in order to hunt down a couple of posted positions. These were the IND D.N.A. and DTR Rough Sketch. As ion cannons were the main weapon of choice, it is believed that the IND and DTR vessels were derelicted.
*********Ground Battle*********
Flagritz forces assaulted and captured an FET colony. This is the second colony to fall on this world. The defences were crippled after a fleet of FGZ Baseships bombarded them from orbit.
*********Subspace Static Week 22 Year 198 - 29th May 1998*********
*********Space Battles*********
The Empire appears to have conceded their assets in the Dorn system. The expected reprisals never happened. The Flagritz now control a class five colony which they managed to capture with only minimal forces. Only the FET stand to uphold the Emperor's rule....
It would appear that the RIP have decided to pay the DTR a little visit. A few scouting vessels penetrated DTR space and had a little wander around before encountering DTR merchant ships. As yet there has not been any casualties, but this is unlikely to last for long.
*********Other News*********
Empire/Flagritz War
The claims of the two factions will be qualified for many systems at the end of this week assuming no change in status.
The war will continue in the following systems :-
Wastelands, Teller, Rebellion, Curly, Stockton, Storm, Straddle, Blowton and Dorn. Dorn which would have been conceded to the Empire has now become an uncontested Flagritz system. Should it remain so at the start of week 26, it too will become Flagritz territory.
*********Subspace Static Week 21 Year 198 - 21st May 1998*********
*********Space Battles*********
Flagritz Mobilization
A fearsome fleet consisting of nearly a dozen Baseships entered the orbit of a world housing two of the Empire's colonies. These weakly defended installations were no match for the fleet as barrage after barrage of photon fire smashed nearly all defences leaving only a few space fighters as protection. All are awaiting the Empire's response.
Other Battles
Various skirmishes occurred across the Capellan periphery, these involving the all too familiar scenario of scout yacht being destroyed by small fleets.
*********Subspace Static Week 20 Year 198 - 15th May 1998*********
*********Space Battle*********
An attack on an FET Deep Explorer backfired for the RIP. The FET vessel happened to be on an IMP patrol lane (off the beaten track some might snigger). The rescue fleet managed to beat of the attack destroying a RIP Patrol Cruiser in the process.

Can players avoid phoning the GM if possible. If a phone call cannot be avoided can all relevant ship/account numbers be prepared to save time during the call. This should help clear backlogs. Thanks

CIA troops mopped up wounded Imperial forces that survived the battles for St. Petersburg.
*********Subspace Static Week 17 Year 198 - 23th April 1998*********
*********Space Battle*********
The SMS Icarus is swiftly becoming the bane of the RIP. Armed with only ion cannons, it has gutted and repelled more RIP ships than the entire Imperial Services has over the last four months.

Flagritz Uprising
Having spent the last few years preparing, the Flagritz are now in a position to reclaim their ancestral home. They have declared war on the Empire. The declaration has been accepted and the war will begin from the start of week 19 year 198 (7th May after weekly maintenance). The war is likely to effect all the Imperially chartered affiliations and the areas of conflict are all the systems within the Capellan periphery between Skord and Audrey (not including these two systems). For further details regarding terms of surrender and peace it is imperative that all involved contact their Political Co-ordinators.
*********Subspace Static Week 15 Year 198 - 17th April 1998*********

The GTT, gave up on actually capturing the solitary RIP ship that they had been plugging away at for the last few weeks, the Periphery Director ordered the death squad to finish the job. The RIP Myth, is now the stuff of legends (sorry).
*********Land Battle*********
A carefully planned and almost perfectly executed plan of attack seized an Imperial colony from the Emperor's grasp. The culprits were the RIP. It will be interesting to see how long they maintain control of the colony. Help is no doubt on the way now that the St. Petersburg crisis has finished.
*********Other News*********
St. Petersburg/CIA Leningrad has closed. Having re-captured the colony, the Imperials concluded that holding the position was not feasible with the ever mounting forces of the Confederacy. They decided to cut their losses and the remains of the colony now lie at the bottom of the swamp. This is a most decisive victory for the CIA. They have beaten the Empire on their home territory.
Nanny State to be abolished.
The Solo system is to become an open system. This will mean the restriction on combat is to be lifted. The date of this is the beginning of December 1998. Darkfold and Capella will also open but in June 1999. This is a reflection on the capabilities of the affiliations within these systems and the infrastructure that has been created over the years.
*********Subspace Static Week 14 Year 198 - 3rd April 1998*********
*********Space Battle*********
War in Acrux
Never before has such a battle occurred. The combined forces of the Dewiek, Dominion and the Detinus Republic assembled in the location of last week's assault. Over 40 warships, not including the ones derelicted from previous battles waited for the inevitable return of the Hexamon. When they did arrive, worst fears were confirmed. The dreaded TCA living ships were scanned bolstering the Hexamon forces. These living ships were rumoured to carry weaponry to rival that of a colony.
Yet still the Allies held their ground. DTR Apple Jack Highball and DTR Dawn Treader singled out the living ship Tenedur T'Cath both giving a full broadside of photon fire. The living ship must have been badly damaged as it exploded in a shower of plasma that cast an eerie light across space. 'The bastards aren't invincible.' Vice Admiral Arker was reported to scream. Another of the titanic monsters enveloped DTR Lomumba with plasma slowly buckling the hull till it fractured and shattered into a billion pieces. The hearts of the people surely must go out to the plucky captains of the Dominion fleet of yachts, sent to risk all in order to rescue previously derelicted ships. Almost all of these were reduced to atoms during the course of the battle. Let us not forget the Hexamon, often seen as the aggressors, newly arrived in the peripheries with little choice of where they ended, suddenly confronted by hostile forces. They have resisted all attempts at genocide and have finally managed to keep sole control of the Acrux system. It can safely be said that this has been one of the toughest tests of endurance. Weary from constant assaults maybe now they will be able to build their empire... maybe.
A number of small assaults throughout the Capellan periphery although these were half hearted attempts by the pirates to capture unescorted merchant ships. All ended in failure. A Confederate Ranger was destroyed while on reconnaissance.
*********Land Battles*********
CIA Repel IMP Assault
Having lost IMP St.Petersburg to the CIA, the IMP mustered forces for an assault. A squad comprised mainly of green troops directed a squadron of ground fighters. The defences of the colony were more than a match. Not a single IMP fighter was left and war cries were soon replaced with the screams of injured. It would appear that the CIA are there to stay.
*********Other News*********
Peace in Acrux
Having failed to establish a colony within the Acrux periphery by the deadline, the Dewiek have effectively lost the system war. There is strong talk of pushing for universal war, but as of the moment, terms and conditions of a universal war need to be decided. At least for the next few weeks there will be peace. (GM note - just as well, as the Easter Holidays would have caused no end of problems. As it was battles were not completed until the late evening.)
Late Turns
The war in Acrux and all the phone calls that are associated with times of great stress has meant that we have been a little behind in recent weeks with the processing of turns. Sorry for any delays.
*********Subspace Static Week 13 Year 198 - 26th March 1998*********
*********Space Battle*********
Maybe the Dominion became a bit too overconfident after last week's surprise attack on the Hexamon within the Acrux system. They decided to hold the space square of last week's victory. The Dewiek appeared to have a bit more sense, but not much as they only moved to an adjacent location. The result was a split in the forces of the two factions. This worked to the advantage of the Hexamon. Recovering from the surprise they called their fleet together and made a concerted effort to drive the invading forces from the system. While only a few ships were actually destroyed during the titanic fight, many were derelicted. It looks as if the Hexamon have broken the power of the allies, at least for the moment.
The Imperial Services decided that the middle of nowhere would be a perfectly safe place to leave a trio of Ship o'the Lines. Not the brightest of moves considering the stalking capabilities of the RIP. The RIP once they found these ships pulled out all the stops to capture them. It will takes weeks for the RIP to patch up the various vessels involved.
*********Other News*********
DTR to become Independent
The Confederacy has announced an end to the alliance status with the Detinus Republic. This has been an amicable split based on the differing political views of the two governments. Treaties of recognition are to be signed and the two parties will go their separate ways.
Mind Reader
I have a turnsheet written on the old grey style sheet. The player wants a tech-manual on item 33. I need the ship name, the position number, your name and your account number. You have unfortunately supplied none of the above. I just hope that you run other positions or else you may never read this!
*********Subspace Static Week 12 Year 198 - 19th March 1998*********
*********Space Battles*********
The true ravages of war swept the Acrux system leaving Hexamon and Dewiek ships twisted and in flames, the last pleas of the crew lost in the vacuum of space. Counting the cost of this vicious encounter will continue for some time as both sides determine if a victory was achieved. The tight knit forces of the Dominion played an important role during the invasion, showing a side few believed they possessed. This sudden taste for power might have some wondering and other re-evaluating their treaties with the Dominion. Were these sleeping giants?
In an unprecedented move the Confederacy and the RIP came to blows within the Capellan periphery. It is uncertain how this happened, but the more cynically minded believe it was over taking up too much of the bed. We can only hope that this change of heart is the dawn of a bright future.
*********Other News*********
End of Acrux War
Should the Dewiek fail to meet the conditions needed for a continuance in the war with the Hexamon, then there is no option but to declare the Hexamon controllers of the Acrux system. This comes about as the Hexamon now control colonies while the Dewiek no longer have friendly positions within the system. The deadline for control is the beginning of week 14 (3rd April 1998).
*********Subspace Static Week 11 Year 198 - 12th March 1998*********
*********Space Battles*********
The Confederate forces entered Imperial space in what is becoming a familiar pattern of swift and conclusive destruction. The victims of this formidable fleet were a Deep Explorer, a Patrol Cruiser and a Supra Freighter. Despite the number of Confederate ships present, two of the Imperial ships opened fire on the CNF Flame Tower. This is apparently not the first time this has happened and the Captain, Kipper Dick is getting paranoid, but then with a name like that I would shoot him myself.
The RIP were successful in their attempt to wrestle control of yet another Ship of the Line from the FET. Suspicion is rampant as accusations of moles, spies and incompetence are thrown around. Back armour is fashion of the moment.
A small survey ship for the FET has been destroyed while busy 'exploring' Confederate space.
*********Subspace Static Week 10 Year 198 - 6th March 1998*********
*********Space Battle*********
Yet another RIP yacht was charred while testing the defences of one of the empire's most heavily defended planets.
*********Land Battle*********
The Hexamon rampage carries on uncontested. A second colony inhabited by Dewiek has now fallen to them. It is rumoured that ethnic cleansing of the Acrux system is taking place in the captured colonies. If true then the price of furs is likely to plummet.
*********Subspace Static Week 9 Year 198 - 26th February 1998*********
*********Space Battles*********
Numerous skirmishes raged across both the Darkfold and Capellan periphery. For the most part they involved the all too familiar Yachts with an even more predictable outcome.
The RIP launched a more successful attack, once again against the FET. The prize this time was a Deep Explorer. The use of ion cannons meant that only the cleaning up of a light coat of dust was needed in order to take control.
*********Land Battles*********
Fierce fighting within the Acrux periphery resulted in the capture of an otherwise neutral colony by the Hexamon. It is unclear what ramifications this will have.
*********Other News*********
According to rumour the CIA are in the process of selling the recently captured FET colony Yokosuka to the Flagritz. The Viceroy was quick to point out that such a sale will not be legal under Imperial Law and should the Flagritz assume control of the aforementioned colony they will themselves be in breach of the peace treaty between the Imperial Empire and the lagritz Coalition. Should this treaty be irreparably broken, the two factions will return to war. With the Confederacy breathing down the Emperor's neck, this has to be the darkest chapter in the history of the Capellan periphery.
*********Subspace Static Week 8 Year 198 - 19th February*********
*********Space Battles*********
Braving the possibility of instant death, the Captain of the IMP Emperor's Glory visited the scene of last week's carnage by the Confederate Warfleet. Three Battleships remained while the rest of the fleet moved away. If only more of the Empire's ships had accompanied their fellow captain the results might have been a boost to the flagging morale. Alas, an all too familiar scenario ensued in which yet another of the Empire's ships was reduced to space dust.
Apparently the IMP Warfleet was busy pursuing pirates, who in turn were pursuing a pair of SMS Ship o'the Lines. Luckily for the SMS they managed to fight the RIP to a standstill, holding out till the bitter end. Even though one of the SMS vessels was derelicted, the other stood it's ground firing till the end, although some put this act down to the lack of engines rather than actual bravery.
In a move that can only described as the the best laid plans of mice and men, a surprise attack was launched on the IMP from a recently built colony deep in the Capellan periphery. This could have proved disastrous for the IMP, except that the CIA neglected to include sensors in the colony construction. Tapes of the last conversation in the control centre go on sale for the price of 500 stellars.
The FET colony visited by the Confederate Warfleet last week fell to an assault by the CIA.
*********Subspace Static Week 7 Year 198 - 12th February 1998*********
*********Space Battles*********
Having lain waste to Imperial Colony St.Petersburg the unstoppable force of the Confederates, rather than back off decided to increase the stakes by paying another imperially chartered colony a visit. Having posted the colony when it was under the control of the RIP, the viable target was raked across all quarters by massive fire power. Repairs since the last attack could not have progressed far as the colony retaliated with only a handful of fighters.
Having crippled all of the Dewiek ships in the Accrux system last week, the Hexamon returned this week to finish the job. While a few of the Dewiek ships managed to crawl out of orbit only to be stopped by picket ships, the Direwolf already in space was unable to leave due to a lack of thrust engines. In a strange turn of events, the Dominion vessel wrongly reported as destroyed was also at the scene of the battle, but as the captain declined to aid the Dewiek, the Hexamon left it alone. Had the Dominion ship given engines to the Direwolf, it would have made good it's escape. The final outcome was another victory to the Hexamon.
Having spent months on patrol finding absolutely nothing, an FET vessel was returning to base at the end of the week only to blunder straight into a RIP fleet. The battle was short and decisive with yet another Patrol Cruiser falling into the hands of the pirates.
The FET aren't the only suppliers of ships to the RIP as proved by the BHD. Leaving a Tempest in the middle of nowhere is asking for it to be pirated. Apparently an offer that the RIP couldn't refuse.
Another CNF scout ship was cremated at the hands of the Empire. Entering the orbit of a populated world was a death sentence. This time carried out for the IMP by the SMS and the GTT. It is presumed that someone has to enforce the Emperor's Laws.

Colony Governors
When building special complexes, it would be a great help to state the source of the proposed production as some planets have a great many entries. This will avoid wrong values being assigned.
*********Subspace Static Week 6 Year 198 - 5th February 1998*********
*********Space Battles*********
The Confederacy have assembled a warfleet with the sole purpose of removing IMP St.Petersburg from the universe. The CIA supported by the bulk of CNF Rolling Thunder blasted their way through orbit and launched a blistering attack on the poorly defended colony. The lack of response by the colony hints at a process of demilitarizing this world in favour of a more defendable location.
Tension in the Acrux system has resulted in bloodshed, the first but probably not the last. A tactical blunder left the Dewiek forces split between the orbit and the space square when the Hexamon warfleet struck. This allowed the Hexamon to bring greater odds to bare against the Dewiek, as their own fleet moved into orbit systematically attacking first those of the Dewiek fleet in space, then those in orbit. Only pure luck prevented the Dewiek from receiving greater damage. In fact only a defending Dominion craft was destroyed at the hands (claws?) of the Hexamon. It is thought that the Dewiek will disengage in order to lick their wounds.
RIP nasties swarmed over a single FET Ship of the Line nimbly boarding it while the blood was still congealing. This is the latest in a line of FET suicides. It is hoped that this mental disease is not contagious.
Once again triumphant, this time over the Brotherhood, the RIP managed to capture stolen outposts.

Emails
All positions may now be emailed back to players. If you are changing your position from mail to email and vice versa, please inform us at the top of the turn. The reason is that the turn is processed as one or the other. The results is a mangled mess, if one format is attempted to send via the wrong medium. Another problem some have mentioned was that their turns were out of alignment when they returned. This can easily be rectified by viewing the turn in wordpad using the Courier font. This is as it is a mono-spaced font.
Turn Prices
A few people out there appear to be oblivious to the pricing structure for this game. Page 6 and 7 explain in some detail that budget turns only have room for 10 orders (some actions only require half an order though). More than ten incurs an increased fee. Sending orders in via email does not make a player exempt from this. Careful structuring of you email turn will prevent mis-charging of turns.
Security Complexes in Space Battles
This may be old news to many players, but due to the problems with ground defence in colonies the programs have been updated. Now the shield factors for the Military (and only the Military) will be increased by a factor dependent on the number of Security Complexes.

The attack fleet of the GTT ensured that the RIP presence in the Capellan periphery has been removed. The eight warships converged on the crippled RIP yacht and wiped it out.
Having discovered a way to make the pirates pay, the Brotherhood initiated a plan to capture all their outposts in the Solo system. Rumours report hand to hand fighting across the surface of the world, an event not seen since the invention of firearms. Even stranger, the pirates would have fared better if they had not been wearing eye patches and wooden legs. Even so it was a very close finish with the BHD only just repelling boarders.

GTT ships flocked to the site of last weeks battle with the RIP. They were lucky enough to arrive before the RIP could complete their re-organisation in order to board the Spaniel. After blowing the RIP out of space, the GTT then went on to regain control of the Spaniel.
*********Other News*********
Dewiek/Hexamon call to arms
Fast on the heels of the Hexamon claim to the Acrux system came a counter claim by the Dewiek. Due to the negligible time differences in the claims, the ruling is that the Acrux system is a disputed system with both claimants having a valid claim. From Week 5 (two weeks after the initial claim in Week 3), war exists between the Dewiek and the Hexamon within the Acrux system.
Combat Speed
As has been pointed out by a few survivors of space battles, the programs use the true speed of a ship rather than the rounded version called 'Base Speed' on the print out. The availability of battle enhancing alien technology also means that the Base Speed is even further out for combat purposes. For this reason, we have added 'Combat Speed' which shows the speed of the craft for combat purposes only. In most cases these values will be the same, but a few captains may be
surprised.
*********Subspace Static Week 3 Year 198 - 15th January 1998*********
*********Space Battle*********
Quite possibly the biggest fiasco of space naval history occurred this week. A fleet of five RIP Predators attacked an equal number of FET Patrol Cruisers and captured four of them. What the Patrol Cruisers were doing loitering for weeks on end fully laden with cargo with no escort in the middle of space is anybody's guess. Thankfully four of the captains died instantly. One of the Patrol Cruisers managed to escape, but only just. The FET Exec VP is reported to have mumbled something about gross incompetence and that it never happened when he was in charge of space defence. Oh to be a fly on the wall during the next board meeting.
Not far away a second RIP strike left an Indiaman Freighter without crew. This attack witnessed a new tactic, weenies space fighters. The attacking Yachts were armed with space fighters and ion cannons. Barely enough room for anything else, but surprisingly effective.

Message to the Peripheries from the Hexamon
The Acrux System and all bodies within is hence forward claimed by the Hexamon. All positions within this system have the standard two weeks to seek permission to be here or suffer the consequences.
Message to the Peripheries from the GTT
Contrary to previous reports the GTT have not broken any unofficial cease fire with the FGZ. This only applies to shipping, not to colonies. This has always been the stance of the GTT and will remain so until the FGZ sign a peace treaty or open fire on GTT shipping. A return to open hostilities will occur if there is still no movement on the peace discussions by the feast of Saint Oswald.
*********Subspace Static Week 2 Year 198 - 8th January 1998*********
*********Space Battles*********
The peace that brought in the new year has already been shattered with the the arrival once again of Rolling Thunder in the peripheries. The Confederate warfleet smashed three Imperial ships, although no Capitol ships were present.
The GTT have broken the unofficial cease fire agreement with the Flagritz. For some reason an unarmed baseship decided to enter orbit of a world with a GTT colony. The resulting explosion could be seen half way round the planet. Reprisals are almost certainly expected.
A few other skirmishes involving the RIP occurred although no important losses occurred as only scout ships were involved.
It will be possible to email political printouts at the end of this month.
