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."

data = "The recent detente with the Almach Association has prompted easier communications with Rim governments. Loved ones separated by the cordon have a chance to communicate once more, trade is posed to recommence, and light has been shed on the conditions of Shelf, Relan, and Angessa's Pearl. Amid this light is a patch of darkness. The fourth major polity of the Association, the Aetolian Council remains inscrutable, with no publicly-available information in the system available after their purge of corporate loyalists during the Gray Hour. What reports do exist are rumors within the Rim of Aetolian projects to create a new, hardier strain of Promethean, potentially one in flagrant violation of the Five Points of Human Sanctity. It is also known that Aetolus is a contributor to the personnel of the military vessels that even now are active in the Golden Crescent, although no so-called \"Aeto-Prometheans\" are believed to be active outside of the rim at this time.\

name = "11/30/62 - Adm. McMullen Declares \"Iserlohn Republic\""
data = "Pursuant to the continuing hostility from Secretary Tassis' Saint Columbia Democratic Union and the Almach Militia, the civilians of the Saint Columbia Fleet Base have been organized into an Iserlohn Republic. Named after the largest single module of the station, the Republic has applied to the Colonial Assembly as an independent protectorate, with provisional recognition already extended by Executive of Development Zehava Collins. In a move decried as nepotistic, Admiral McMullen declared independence and installed his daughter Anya as interim President pending ratification of a constitution. SolGov Fleet protocol forbids any member of the service from accepting any political appointment and is believed to be the main reason he did not take power himself. Anya McMullen is the administrative head of the base's hydroponics array and is considered a highly respected citizen of the colony, relationship to its military administrator notwithstanding."

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.\

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."
