It is good to see that the promotion document received a good deal of support and the name proved as popular as expected. Please understand that all that has been achieved in this game will translate over to the new one. We are being purposefully vague on many of the conversion details. Interpolation or modification to current activity may prove detrimental, thus it is better to carry on as largely though nothing is going to change. We can say for certain that GM markets and their ability to upgrade ships will be scrapped. Further, current affiliations and the players controlling the resources will undoubtedly have a distinct advantage over players that join after the launch and that positions will be desperately sought by all players.

********Other News**********
In reply to the BHD statement last week, yet again the BHD prove to all that all they can do is tell lies. Indeed, given the recent assassination attempt on Lord Crowthonre, you would have thought that they could have come up with a better story. Obviously they are not preying enough for divine inspiration.
A lone trooper was attempting to scout a colony's defences for strategic purposes, but was spotted and a battle initiated by the BHD. A similar action was carried out successfully at 6 other BHD colonies without loss to either the DTR or BHD.
To the BHD. If you keep insisting on telling lies, then we will prove to everyone what lies you tell.
From: Lord Michelle Diaz, Speaker of the DTR House of Lords

Announcement from the BBC(Brotherhood Broadcasting & Communications).
Newsreader - "Good evening. In a shocking event today a lone assassin was killed whilst attempting to kill Lord Xander Du Faulon, Colony Governor of Tyrsis. The assassin was shot while he tried to gain access to the Governor's residence. Preliminary reports also say that a similar event happened at 6 other colonies, but luckily due to vigil guards the attempts were stopped." "The assassins are believed, unlikely as it may sound to some, DTR. With their own recent internal problems it appear that the DTR are on a mad rampage. Will anyone be safe and who is next?"

*********Battles*********
Pyrrhic Victory
The Imperial Armada was virtually crushed in wave after wave of Falconian forces. The target of the fleet, the last refuge of the Falconians survived the batteries although the level of civilian casualties is still estimated to be great. After this combat it would appear that the Falconian forces new effectively control the orbit of the the homeworld of the Krell. This victory was marred by the Krell's inability to repel the troops that jumped from orbit into the defenceless colonies. The primary Falconian colony however withstood all the punishment given out by the fleet and was even able to withstand the various assaulting forces. The final outcome appears to be a reversal of the previous weeks with the Empire holding the planet and the Falconians controlling the orbit.
Assault on the Kastorians
The Confederacy have launched a brave but fool hardy assault of the KST by invading their homeworld. The attack was easily repelled and all the troops were butchered with no chance of retreat.

GM Holidays
Yep, in this time of trouble Mica is bailing out. Do not be too disheartened as Richard will be here to keep the game running smoothly.
Brotherhood Tribute to the Fallen Faithful
Quiet conversation and a meal is served in the ancillary chamber to the main hall. All the guests are greeted by BHD officials and benediction is granted by the newly appointed Pope Mark Eaton I. Amongst the select Confederate and Brotherhood officials, Lord Seth representative of the Ordo Arachnia causes quite a stir with his retinue of Hive Warriors. Even the Pope appears alarmed by this.
After a brief interlude all are summoned for the service. The vast hall is slowly filled with those attending the memorial for the brave troops, martyrs all of them, that died in the service of the True One. The service is led by BHD Patriarch Rion Dracolith. The speeches are solemn, intoning on the justice trials of the faithful and the suffering that will be returned a thousand fold to the heretics.
Finally the Pope steps forward to offer his support for the cause of the followers of the True One and his unstinting belief that the Confederacy will eventually dominate the known universe if this show of devotion is indicative of the peripheries.
*********Subspace Static Week 34 Year 200 - 25th August 2000*********

The fighting at, and around, Inversion continues this week. Yet again there is a change in the situation. In orbit of Inversion the ships and colonies continued their fighting with renewed vigour.
In the space around Inversion a few skirmishes involving several different forces ended with IMP victory as the FCN and KRL ships were destroyed, and then the RIP ships, who mistakenly believed they would find easy pickings, were destroyed.
On a planet far far away, a lone IND ship was the victim of yet another FET colony.
*********** Ground Battle **********
The fighting on the surface of Inversion resulted in Stronghold finally falling, but in response the KRL recaptured several of their previously lost colonies.

IMP Suicide In a follow up to the recent nerve gas attacks, a dedicated captain and crew attempted to plough into a colony in Confederate territory. Things went flat when the swift intervention on behalf of the CIA meant that ships intercepted the IMP ship, destroying it before impact.
Boarding Action**********
A Flagritz attempt to recapture a ship lost to the Dominion was repulsed. It was a close call and a few more troops would easily have swung it in favour of the Flagritz.
*********** Ground Battle **********
GTT troops attempted an invasion of an FCN colony but were easily repulsed by the largely native forces. It may well be that this was just testing the water as a prelude or a more concerted effort.

A DOM ship entered orbit of a Brotherhood world and was quickly destroyed by several colonies. The resulting debris lit up portions of the night sky.

The DOM attacked a FGZ ship that had landed on a planet and successfully boarded it.
*********** Imperial Announcement **********
Imperial Viceroy - Order in Council
The Falconian Empire have committed a flagrant and calculated breech of Imperial Law Section 3, paragraph (III) within the borders of the Stellar Empire. They have shown total disregard for Imperial Licensing regulations within the boarders of the Stellar Empire and have destroyed, without provocation, an Empire ship whilst the said ship was pursuing its lawful occasions in the Wastelands System. Consequently it is considered to be in the best interests of the Stellar Empire that the Falconians withdraw from the Capellan Periphery forthwith. Falconian positions sighted in the Capellan Periphery shall be deemed hostile. Those sighted elsewhere may be deemed hostile at the discretion if the Imperial Command Council.

In response to last weeks destruction by the FCN's of a GTT ship, the GTT mobilized a huge attack force consisting of GTT, IMP & FET ships. In the ensuing battle the few FCN ships and the colony were totally annihilated.
Only a few people know just why the GTT had entered orbit of Sahara in the first place?
What will happen now? Will this attack escalate the conflict into a full war?
And just why are the FET claiming the system?
The RIP attacked a lone FET ship, but discovered to late that the ship was not a simple cargo vessel. There is no need to worry about the wreckage of the RIP ship being a space hazard, the debris are just to small.
A kamikaze IMP attack on a CIA Colony ended with a spectacular "fireworks" display above the Colony. The attacking ship almost caused a horrendous amount of damage, but fortunately for the CIA the defences destroyed the ship quickly.
*********Ground Battle*********
A large FET force laid claim to the FCN Colony on Sahara with no resistance as everyone was dead.
After last weeks chemical attacks on a CIA Colony the ground party that just missed the original IMP force managed to catch up with them, just after they had boarded a cloaked IMP ship that had only just landed.
*********Subspace Static Week 28 Year 200 - 13th July 2000************

The FCN annihilated a GTT ship in Wasteland, which is FCN territory, so were the FCN's defending themselves? Just what the response the GTT will give is a matter of great speculation.

A CIA Colony was attacked by unknown culprits who viciously nerve gassed lots of colonists. The CIA almost managed to capture the culprits but, unfortunately for the colonists, failed.

This week saw several RIP battles and an IND run-in for good measure.
A BHD ship was over-run by a RIP ship.
Yet again the DTR are attacked by RIP. A lone RIP Ship versus DTR a ship. Having taken out the DTR crew the RIP then proceeded to board. But during this boarding action the DTR troops managed not only to repel the boarders - but also counter board one of the RIP ships.
An IND ship entered orbit currently occupied by a FET Space Station. The IND ship was quickly destroyed. FET - Frontier, exploration and termination.
The Brotherhood, having lost a vessel to the RIP did a little a praying. This apparently worked as they managed to wander into the same ship a little later and hammered it.
