Bulletin
Factions aligned to the Empire and Federation have declared war in Pichch, which lies in the path of Thargoid expansion.
Relations between the two superpowers have been strained in recent weeks, following the corporate skirmish in Tavgi. This has exacerbated hostilities between two long-standing rivals in the Pichch system, Gauluujja Exchange and the Gliese 44 Citizens' Forum, causing diplomatic negotiations to collapse.
The ruling council of Gauluujja Exchange claimed: "Imperial saboteurs have been undermining our operations for years, and a military solution is now the only option."
The situation has also impacted the ongoing war against the Thargoids, as outlined in a report by freelance correspondent Karleen Troy:
"With Maelstrom Leigong's fleet expansion only a few systems away, Pichch is currently a key distribution point for anti-xeno weaponry and supplies in the region. There is widespread concern that this conflict could disrupt the flow of resources to the front line, hindering defences in multiple systems."
Gauluujja Exchange has requested help from naval auxiliaries, who can register their support for either faction at Tiptree Port.
The two factions have set out week-long operations to take control of the system, which will begin on the 20th April 3309. If either side reaches the final target both campaigns will end immediately.
