Association leaders have refrained from officially supporting the rioters, though many suspect that Association propagandists have sparked the unrest. Solar officials, on the other hand, were quick to offer assurances that the unrest will be calmed long before it begins to affect the Fleet base in system."

Efforts to ensure electoral validity and a peaceful exchange of power have been stymied by the presence of several dozen Militia vessels currently transiting from the Crescent to the Rim. Since the declaration went through, no Almachi vessels have been seen leaving the system, instead forming around Saint Columbia in an obvious defensive posture. The legality of this formation is questionable at best, as fleet activity in divided systems like Abel's Rest and Kauq'xum has been avoided for diplomatic reasons."

data = "Aging Shadow Coalition governor Bjorn Arielsson has today confirmed rumours that he will not run for re-election in the 2563 cycle. The popular governor has represented the people of Vir in the Colonial Assembly for ten years, and supporters had long hoped that he would run for a third term. Arielsson cites advancing age and a desire to spend more time with his partner of 12 years, noted Positronic entrepreneur View Arielsson.\
<br><br>\
Arielsson's governorship saw increased funding towards Sif's vererable ground-based transportation networks to the benefit of some of New Rekjavik's more remote neighbors, though opponents have criticised subsidies towards artificially heated fungal farms, arguing that the faciliies \"benefit a small minority of Skrellian residents to the detriment of already fragile local ecosystems.\"\

The Sivian Shadow Coalition has yet to announce who is to take Arielsson's place on this year's ballot."
