Volume 4 Update: 8/11/96 ========================================================================== === INTERSTELLAR NEWS BRIEFS DATELINE Rogue, August 5 - Imperial Naval forces have cornered massve ALF forces on the planet Rogue in the Sabik star system. ALF terrorist raiders have been wreaking havok throughout The Core from a previously unknown base near Sol, but now the navy thinks it has the outpost under their thumb. The base was located by spies who infltrated the Alien Liberation Front and attained high positions in the secret organization, which fights against Terran domination of the alien races. Terrans outnumber the other 6 sentient species by 10 to one due to a preoccupation with mating. The ALF memebers are currently holed up in Rogue's mining districts, a vast complex of tunnels and caverns, complete with power, water and supplies. DATELINE Altmar, August 7 - The seige of Rogue may last for months, yet the navy is also entangled with concerns in The Colonies, where rebelious Gecko leaders defy imperial rule. And with all of this, there is a contingent force orbiting Wezen, where once again, major ALF forces were discovered underground in mining facilities, and bloody scirmishes have broken out between naval troopers and ALF forces. Tremendous air and land battles, and scattered bombings are plaguing the inhabitants and killing thousands. DATELINE Draak, August 10 - Sabotours destroyed an imperial naval vessel blockading the planet, and though ALF terrorists claim the deed was theirs, naval ships returned fire on Draak, destroying several smaller cities on the surface. Gecko leaders immediatly withdrew all participants in the peac talks on Earth and denouced the emperor himself. "We Gecko shall no longer befrend the Terran, until The Emperor has been cast down and law rules!" esclaimed G'Tonik Klim, Chancellor and Presidential advisor. "This means war!" he said. Draak continues to be blockaded, yet naval forces are stretched to the limits at this time. DATELINE Sol, August 11 - The I.T.U. has called for an immediate vote to determine wether it should support the Gecko withdrawl from The Empire. All I.T.U. members are encouraged to vote using the VO order. Vote YES to support the Geckos and supporting colonist planets, or NO to remain like Switzerland. Votes will be tallied on August 18, with results published in the Galactic Newswire Service. Individual votes will remain anonymous. The leaders of the I.T.U. do not wish to express an opinion on the crisis, and advise you to vote your conscious. ========================================================================== === CARGO PRODUCTION AND STOCK INDEX PRO is the current period's production level, CNG is the change in production from the previous period, E/U is the empire and underworld influence in that star system, COM is the company stock code, SEC is the sector of production +/- is the gain or loss from the previous period.
