General News
The Starbase Grace in Electra was destroyed this week by the ever popular Squire Jack. Score another victory for the Empire.

The Starbase Justice was destroyed this week as well by Bobo, of Mooninite infamy. This was in retaliation to acts taken by the Federal Navy to seize Edbeeth by erecting MO's in responce to the erection of an Empire Starbase. This destruction is surely a blow to the Federal Navy, a fledgling Federation alliance. The base was not of much strategic importance as there is another base in Grefaho, run by the Sindarin Trade Society.

In a rush to get our issue out in time last week, we forgot to include the following report on Imperial engineering genius. Technicians managed to add another layer of armour to the Mooncrusher's forward hull. Hooray!

As well, weapons engineers have managed to develop new lightweight Gatlling lasers. These new weapons are exceptionally well designed for training.

A new type of hack was discovered last week as well, that allows the hacker to find cloaked ships general locations. It hasn't been seen in the wild yet, but it is only a matter of time.



Paan opened to the public!
A mysterious radiation incident caused the end of Hastur, co-founder of MERC. As assets are seized and dismantled on death, the Military Outpost guarding Paan and the SB contained inside were both lost. FTS fighters quickly tried to take advantage but a large contingent of Imperial fighters shored up the hole until a new Outpost could be erected. Imagine running into this group on the left.

In another shocking tale of the Tiacken Tribune, Eldritch has resigned and handed the paper back to the Enigmatic Brackard. Brackard wanting no part of the humdrum and work of the TT was ready to stop the presses, when some mysterious editor has shown up. We will have to wait to see who will take over the reigns of this troubled publication.

Ed. Note: Eldritch is just a slave master, not an Imperial. Eventually he will see the light though

The Keldon Report - by Frozen

Some Federation pilots are around Keldon these days. They were attacking and destroying. I must admit I'm surprised, I didn't expect Feds to come to Keldon again during the war. Well anyway, if they want to get out I hear the Paladins are giving free escape pod rides back home... ;)

The economy is as usual, very good. Urlafa is the biggest planet and Wolf Station is the biggest starbase. If someone is looking at the statistics it's interesting to see that Sakura Hope is the 6th biggest starbase, the starbase is next to Urlafa. And now when we look at the planet next to Wolf Station, Vewaa, we can see that it's also the 6th biggest.

Last week I had done an interview with ScorpioVI from Blue Sun Corporation. I had planned to do one every week but didn't have the time to do one now. I want to do interviews with all alliances, groups and important pilots around Keldon... If someone wants to give an interview about Keldon related stuff just send me a PM.
