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.

Captain Delfina Dominguez of the Sirius Navy, who commands the Chariot of Rhea released a statement:

"Our presence is authorised by the military contract between Sirius Corporation and the Alliance Defence Force. If local forces continue to attack, we will have no option but to defend our assets."

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, the Sirius Corporation will authorise a permit to the Sirius system for 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.
