Bulletin
The Reorte Mining Coalition has declared its intent to remove the Sirius Corporation presence from its home system.
The megaship Chariot of Rhea arrived in Reorte as part of Sirius Corporation's new role as the Alliance's strategic defence partner. But the system's controlling faction ordered it to withdraw. The megaship's non-compliance has resulted in skirmishes targeting Sirius forces.
Fergus Cassidy, CEO of the Reorte Mining Coalition, announced:
"We fully support Councillor Kaine's position that Sirius Corporation is operating illegally under Alliance law. Therefore we will defend our territory from this aggressive foreign entity."
The fighting is not believed to have reached surface level and is expected to remain a ship-based conflict.
To rally support from independent pilots, Reorte Mining Coalition will sponsor distribution of an Alioth system permit to the top 75% of supporters.
Prime Minister Edmund Mahon has ordered the Reorte Mining Coalition to cease hostilities immediately. However, Councillor Ainsley Niven – who represents Reorte in the Assembly and is a political supporter of Nakato Kaine – claims that the faction has the right to protect its territory, since it was not invited to ratify the defence pact.
The two factions have set out seven-day combat operations, which will begin on the 27th January 3308.
