Hello folks, today has been a good and progressive day for some Empires of the galaxy.
The... A.R... that stands for Athorian Republic for yall out there who arn't in the outer edge systems, they have announced that they will be changing some laws, a Commander in the A.R. Civil Protection Command stated, "These laws have remained the same for several hundred years, while we are not sure if the change will be permanent, we do hope it improves our standing in the galactic community, we will give further details later on in the prossess. thank you." this is intresting to say the least.

Hello hello! We have some travel related news coming right your way. Increased Sol Gov naval ships have been seen along the outer edge systems most likely requested to be there to help stop cargo ships from going missing. in other places related to space ships, a ship was shot down by local defences after the ship failed to request permission to land, so remember people ALWAYS request to land before you land because it seems that some places will give a lethal responds, luckly for the ship that was shot down, no major casualties was reported... Oh and we just got word... A ship of great scale was reported earlyer today, but apon further investigations, it was just a oddly shaped asteroid. Thats all we have for now, stay tuned!

Hello, today we have news regarding the missing cargo ships in the outer edge systems. With Sol Gov support, the United Galactic Protection Services (U.G.P.S.) found that vox pirates were the ones attacking the cargo ships, it was also descovered that the vox pirates were taking weapons and phoron from the ships, the weapons stolen have been from reports, sold on the black market. When we asked one local colonist in particuler, 'What do you think of the pirate situation' they replyed, "Im worried about being attacked and our security force not being able to protect us." Sol gov when asked the same question did not give a responds, but when we asked the U.G.P.S. Commander John Wolf, "What do you think of the pirates and the black market situation in the outer edges systems?" he replyed "We have the situation under control, we will be sending more crusiers to reinforce the colonies that are under our protection, as for the black market ordeal we are currently trying to reclaim everything that was stolen."

Hello folks of the galaxy, today we got word that employees of a NT station called, Yawn Wider have been unlawfully going to the stations Central Command, we don't have all the details but when we asked a NT official Mitch Milburn about it they said, "We have recently received reports from the officers aboard Yawn central command about an increased number of personnel in space suits entering the perimeter. Entering central command's perimeter without permission from the officers aboard is highly illegal and if any personnel is spotted doing so we cannot guarantee their safety." and thats whats going on in Virgo. In other parts of the galaxy, Strog Industries (S.Ind) from reports they have been looking into augmentation of the Vox, we attempted to ask S.Ind about this but they denied any claims we will be looking into this further.

Hello people of the galaxy! Today we have news of NT apparently presenting evidence of slavery that the robotics industry giant of Ro.Co. are suspected of doing. We investigated by interviewering a NT offical where they stated the following, "We have recently hired someone in the Virgo system and we found that they had a tracking implant featuring Ro.Co. designs, we are still looking into it to confirm our suspicions, I would go into further detail but I am unable to at this time."
With that said we also asked a Ro.Co. offical and they deny any claims to slavery stating, "We do not have illegal slaves not do we support such a terrible act, the tracking implants are just being used for employees that have commited crimes in the past so we are very suprised that NT would go to such great lengths to hurt our company." There will be court hearings in the coming week, stay tuned for more information!

In other parts of the galaxy.. population growth in a outer system of Virgo has caused food and water shortages. Support organizations have come in to try and help this issue... Core systems such as Sol have had pirate trouble as city crime rates and ship disappearances go up.
<br>
A.R. have issued a temperary ban on Vox being in A.R. space due to pirates and aggression from the Vox, A.R. Offical Kalgar Misko stated, "With this ban this will allow A.R.M. system defences to meet Vox pirates with lethal force rather then attempting to arrest them." We here at G.W.N. ask Kalgar, "Does the A.R. see the Vox as a galactic empire?" Kalgar replied, "No.. the A.R. has deem the vox as a remnant class civilization, which means we can't declare war on them, but if they show to much aggression we can have them marked as a threat to our empire." We attempted to get more info but there was nothing more we could get.

Mercenary and Security organizations across the outer edge of human space have clashed, it would seem from reports that companies in those areas are hiring mercs to attack security companies, this has ranged from attacking supply ships to attacking outpost.

===Unathi Black Egg Plague At Record High! (powered by Nanotrasen<65><6E>)===
<br>
The Hegemony High Council has released a statement today confirming what has been circulating amongst the circles of the unathi population: Black Egg Syndrome has been at an all time high, at thirteen percent and rising.
For readers who are unaware, this is a condition that mainly targets unathi females, sympthoms include unathi egg clutches including one or several eggs which are covered in a dark, hard, leather like substance, which makes hatching for the young skinks next to impossible thanks to how solid the egg is compared to normal. Often times this will result in the egg being left for dead in the wild, and the female is reclassified as male due to their cultural value decreasing.
<br>
Beyond confirming what was suspected, Hegemony, as well as Solgov officals, have declined to comment. Skrellian officals, meanwhile, have remarked that they would seek a cure for this deliberating condition, as a token of goodwill after the war years earlier involving the Hegemony, Skrell, and Solgov.

Obituary - Pablo Jenner
<br>
Pablo Jenner passed away while fighting giant space bears during a mining expedition on the evening of October 10th, 2563, at the age of 76. He will be greatly missed for his service. He has lived a rich life of mining on various planets and moons, and continued on even after losing his legs to other creatures, he was a real trooper.
<br>
His last words were to a certain Margaret and it said: "Tell her she's a bitch."
<br>
Respects can be paid at the Yawn Wider Colony, where his remains are currently kept.

===Tragic Tram Crash on Virgo 3B! (powered by Nanotrasen<65><6E>) ===
<br>
Tragic news from Virgo 3B today. The orange line tram's automated brakes failed to engage when arriving at one of the waystations on the route. The resulting crash ended up destroying the small station's tram terminal, as well as the tram car itself. The automated systems however, did not pick up on the crash until much later, reporting that the train was still moving as normal. It wasn't until crewmembers aboard the next stop on the line, Yawn Wider Station, noticed that the tram was mysteriously missing, that technicians realized what had happened.
<br>
The tram contained two passengers, Sabel Hall, 34, Human; and Farket Mrrhalka, 21, Tajara. Only Sabel's body has been located at this time, though the explosion, coupled with the harsh environment, leads investigators to presume that Farket was also killed.
<br>
A memorial service will be conducted for the victims of the tragic accident on their home colony. In the meantime, technicians begun repairs on the orange line, and, in the meantime, workers should use short range teleporters, or a different tram line, to make it to and from their workplace

The Sleepy Sergal is an independent group of news reporters based out of the Virgo-Erigone system. While our updates might not be frequent, it's quality hand crafted content straight from the heart of Virgo! Remember to check back often for more unbiased and quality news, because you deserve it! Remember, we're not dead - only dormant! Rumors that we hijacked another station's channel and equipment are wildly exaggerated.

Into the Slightly Unknown!
<br>
NanoTrasen's new addition to the Research Department, The Exploration Team, was unveiled several weeks ago with resounding success! NanoTrasen's Virgo-Erigone Central Command released data saying that alien artifact recovery has went up by a staggering 300%. While unconfirmed as of now, several interstellar salvage groups say that their vessel recovery rate has went up to untold numbers. NanoTrasen denies any correlation between their new program and the increase in derelict exploration vessels.

Supermatter, does it matter?
<br>
After recent month's mass freighter convoy, consisting of vessels from Focal Point Energistics, Hephaestus Industries, and Aether Corporation, non-standard energy production facilities have been replacing the once standard 'Supermatter' engine. While less conventional and practiced, these alternatives - which include the MK1 Tesla Engine, the High Power Singularity Generator, and the R-UST Thermonuclear fusion reactor - provide reliable power at a more affordable cost. Colonists and workers in Virgo-Erigone have expressed concerns over how safe the new-to-them engines are in comparison to the Supermatter.
<br>
The Director of Power Technology at Focal stated, "It's probably okay, th-there's no proof a singularity is lethal. There's no autopsy data available," before vomiting on his desk and passing out.
<br>
In unrelated news, our condolences go out to the freighter 'Borealis' which was side struck by a black hole like object, experts say it was "probably natural causes.'

Donkified!
<br>
After fifteen years of public outcry, Donk Co has pushed out a new product, their statement being:
<br>
"Years on end our valued customers have been shouting, 'Put a bangin' donk on it!' We never thought it to be the most viable business strategy, until we researched and developed it. The new Donkified Donk Pocket is what the customers have been asking for! It comes in four distinct tastes, original, chicken alfredo, ?????, and meaty by product! We hope you enjoy the new Donk Co Donk Pocket Product!"
<br>
Reports have come in from across the galaxy saying that once you finish microwaving the Donkified Donk Pocket and take your first bite, it literally explodes. One consumer we asked said, "This is everything I've been looking for." Another said that, "The new jaw I had to have installed was worth the explosive taste of the new Donk. It's amazing!"

Pirate invasion on Yawn Wider!
<br>
Arr matey! It appears some pirates have attacked the Yawn Wider colony on the 22nd this month!
<br>
From our insider source, the invasion would have began sometime in the afternoon and was led by two pirates who managed to rush inside the colony with a small shuttle craft. Report came in that the pirates had been successful in capturing a hostage upon arrival, and would have left with the entirety of the vault, whose content is still kept a secret by Nanotrasen. The security forces of the colony seems to have been caught offguard by the sudden and unexpected attack. At least two dead have been reported (and resleeved) but there may have been a third one as well.
<br>
We have contacted the station's Overseer and all they had to say was: "I was unfortunately at central filling paperwork on that day, I wish I had been there to help repel the attack. I commend the crew for doing their best however."
We have tried to contact Nanotrasen for comment, but have not gotten a response.

Nanotrasen gives workers free synths!
<br>
Workers on Yawn Wider's tether colony are in for a strange surprise!
<br>
During the off-shift clean up operations, a new resleeving pod had been installed, but the workers have learned that it is non-functional, and while the spare parts are being sent, travel times and rarity of the pieces for repairs means it may take a while before they can print up new bodies for those who encounters some ill fate on the more dangerous jobs!
<br>
Nanotrasen has therefore added a addendum to all Yawn Wider employees insurance, which allows for a free replacement synthetic body during their shifts, and their original body printed off-colony at another facility also free of charge.
<br>
Some employees are outraged by this, some outright refusing to allow themselves to be put in a synthetic shell and simply demanding to have their shift cut short and be immediately printed off-colony. That however, might be a hit on their paycheck!
<br>
Stay tuned for more on the Sleepy Sergal!

Subterranean Phoron Deposits on Tarsonis II!
<br>
Tarsonis II, a planet in the Tarsonis system of the
Horsehead Nebula, a previously overlooked largely dry-desert world has come under attention in recent months due to the discovery of phoron deposits within its crust. An existing steel-mining outpost on the world's arid northern continent is being supplied with additional equipment and personnel to facilitate the extraction of the phoron and its loading onto trains for shipment to the starport far to the south.

Medicine Prices to increase on Doradus IV!
<br>
Following a modest phoron spill during routine shipment across the Tel'atmora province of the gaia world S'Zaan, a.k.a Doradus IV, of the Doradus system, Horsehead Nebula, legislation has been passed to tighten regulations regarding the transport of phoron over land, sea, and air, including an increase to the minimum tank hull thickness and higher hermatic valve quality standards. A mandate that phoron particulate and phoron powder be compressed into crystal sheet form before entering the planet's atmosphere has also been imposed.
<br>
As a member planet-state of Nanotrasen Space, the local governing executive board decided in a narrow 54:47 vote mostly along species lines to tighten regulations aimed at protecting the environment from phoron contamination. Representative Kontar Tannous of the board's Exo-Commerce Committee had the following to say:
"While we regret the inconvenience this may cause medical clinics and certain manufacturing sectors, as a species the native people of S'Zaan have historically taken the matter of environmental stewardship quite seriously. If we had not, our world wouldn't be the resort destination it is today. The board will be working tirelessly to determine a possible method to mitigate the increased cost that is fair to all parties".
<br>
Clean-up at the site of the spill is expected to take two weeks, and may require extensive excavation of the site.

BREAKING IN SCIENCE! (powered by Nanotrasen)
<br>
Xenoarcheologists and technology historians have stumbled upon a treasure trove of research material after unmanned probes detected signs of nuclear detonation in a remote star system along the fringes of the Calisto Nebula. Upon arrival to the system, which will remain unidentified to prevent contamination prior to study, experts were astonished to find a world on which civilization had gone extinct in the later half of its "robotics" age.
<br>
While this sounds mundane, the planet in question had a rare trait uncommon in this sort of extinction event: still operating machines. Study is limited to orbital observation so far, owing to the fact that the civilization's machines of war are still carrying out nuclear bombings and the occasional ground invasion of one another. Apparently, the local inhabitants had more or less entirely automated warfare, and gone extinct as a result of the ensuing arms races.
<br>
Experts hope to find one of the software systems, if any are in use, responsible for operating the bombers/tanks/naval ships, or the now defunct menagerie of satellite-to-surface weapons after the conflict finally resolves its self and the last weapons power down. Present evidence suggests the weapons are drone-based, operating along preset command sets assigned by AI or possibly preserved organic intelligence. A "winner" of the continuing conflict between factions of what scientists are calling the "Revenant" society is expected to be among the few groups that seem to have established partial support infrastructures of similar machinery, namely automated resource extraction and maintenance. "With the degree of failure in these systems, it's anyone's game.", said lead tech researcher Patel Nanjiani.
<br>
The discovery is a sobering reminder of intelligent life's potential for self-destruction.

Taitrus to leave FATO
<br>
Nanotrasen Corporate Strategists in the Sol System offices are growing concerned as the colonial government of the SOLGOV held Taitrus System in the Milky Way's Fourth Spiral Arm threaten to leave the Fourth Arm Treaty Organization, a coalition of local governments in 4A committed to a mutual defense funding/resource pool shared along the spinward edge of the arm. Taitrus' position in the arm near the galactic core could mean its departure from FATO will open gaps through which enemy corporations can funnel personnel and equipment for larger, and deeper incursions into Nanotrasen and NT-joint-held territories.
<br>
As such, company reps are making efforts to persuade Taitrus' government to stay in the agreement. Diplomats from the system however, contend that their solar system has been getting the "short end of the FATO stick", with limited portions of the organization resources being applied to their defense relative to others, like those along the fourth arm's edge bulk. "We're basically out here defending our selves, so why should we be tithing to a defense pool we don't benefit from? Our freighters, logistics networks, and colonial militia play a small, but vital role in FATO, and we get nothing. They're better used just staying home." said one Taitrus dignitary. Nanotrasen Corporate strategists declined to comment beyond a form letter stating that Taitrus' involvement is important to them, and that they regret circumstances which have lead to Taitrus' consideration of leaving FATO.

==Colony Vanishes==
<br>
A small fledgling planetary colony far at the edge of NT space has gone quiet. As of February 16th, all communication from the colony has ceased, though long-range scans do not show enemy activity. Among the last comms signals received from the colony was a religious message from a group identifying them selves as the "Project at Gaia's Doorstep", consisting of a series of folksy religious songs. Investigators are en route as of publishing.

==SCIENCE UPDATE! (powered by Nanotrasen)==
<br>
In November, we reported on the discovery of a world under siege by its long-dead inhabitants' automated weapons still carrying out an ages-old conflict despite their makers' absence. Today, we have an update for you. The support infrastructure machine networks behind one of the major surviving drone factions has failed as a result of bombings, apparent locomotion mishaps (falling into trenches/bodies of water, mechanical failures, or being crushed by falling rock), and simply succumbing to age. As a result, over the last five weeks, its combat units have grinded to a halt with no incoming fuel and ammunition following facilities no longer receiving raw materials.
<br>
To the surprise of researchers, a number of the functioning aerial combat units consequently carried out suicide bombings, suggesting complex coordination between all involved networks and situational awareness (but apparently also the various machines' determination to resolve the conflict regardless of their makers' status).
<br>
These events mean the count of observed active belligerents has dropped from 11 to 10.
We will keep our loyal readers and subscribers apprised of future updates as we become aware of them.

==In Warfare and Weapons Contracting (powered by Nanotrasen)==
<br>
A nanotrasen Navy lab has been authorized to announce that in early January, a multi-species team of physicists, engineers, circuit designers, and chemists has successfully test-fired a promising new laser weapon technology. Dubbed "Grape guns" by the team, the laser is an extremely high power ultra-violet beam. While it is a ways away from field tests and even further from miniaturization for personnel weaponry, the lab staff assure this news outlet that deployment-ready ship-scale grape guns are "only a breakthrough or two away, and breakthroughs are what [they] do [at the lab]".
<br>
Theoretically, the new lasers would only be deployed as long-range weapons, able to fire without beam strength degradation at up to six times the range of traditional infrared beams, albeit with a much longer cool time and increased maintenance needs. Even with their limitations, it would be much more difficult to catch Nanotrasen Vessels off guard and even harder to hit them with ballistic or guided projectiles due to the increased response range.

===Science Update (powered by Nanotrasen)===
<br>
We have an update on the so called "Revenant society" we covered in November, and again in March.
Previously hidden in a migratory thunderstorm, a massive, airborne aircraft carrier has been discovered, apparently suspended by a combination of helium ballasts, and a series of rotors, control surfaces, and turbines, powered by a combination of solar panels and tesla coils. This carrier, is, as far as can be determined, the last remnant of its faction, and unable to fend off air attacks thanks to a combination of lacking appropriate munitions, many of its anti-air weapons being damaged beyond use, and its drones apparently lost or destroyed. After intense observation, a shuttle was landed on the carrier's flight deck and to the away team's surprise and delight, it was possible to recover the carrier's commanding AI, tentatively named "River" for its persistence in spite of the odds against it. Work is underway to understand River's functionality and translate the language it operates in. Researchers hope to question it and learn more about the planet and its history.

===Economy Today (powered by Nanotrasen)===
<br>
After a black hole near the spinward edge of the Crab Nebula violently discharged an accretion disk and accompanying rod, the resulting diskseismological disturbances (namely massive scale electromagnetic and x-ray bursts) have disrupted the operation of fuel platforms, exonet buoys, and subspace communications hubs in the area. While the greater galaxy is unlikely to be adversely affected, systems and stations relying on exports from the region such as textiles and produce are expected to see shortages for the coming two weeks as repairs are conducted and shipping routes are replotted around newly present dense stellar matter blobs. So far no casualties have been reported, though information coming out of the affected areas is limited and sporadic at best.

===In Medicine (powered by Nanotrasen)===

A recent pharmacological discovery, followed by associated innovation, has lead to what scientists expect will be a faster, cheaper treatment for certain less easily cured cancers. Last week, a moon who's location will remain unpublicized for security purposes, was found to be home to a fungus which, when derived enzymes are included in what would otherwise be an ordinary rhinovirus vaccine, cause lung, leukemia, kidney, and stomach cancer cells to break down into constituent nutrients while leaving nearby healthy cells unharmed. A doctor working on the research project at a joint NT-Veymed facility, both of which like the moon will rename unnamed for security reasons, said, "It's still early in, but once we start up hydroponic farms for this fungus and determine any ill effects, we expect we could shorten treatment periods for the cancers in question by as much as 32%, and reduce the expense by as much as 60%. It's really quite promising so far."

===Science Update (powered by Nanotrasen)===
<br>
More news on the Revenant Society we covered last in June. The recovered carrier AI, River, (now known to have been dubbed "J'k-tethrrrrll-388" by its makers), has reportedly interpreted attempts to communicate with it and assisted in the construction of a common language to use with research personnel. At present, conversations are slow and protracted, with minimal information derived there-from. What HAS been established, is that River is entirely cognizant of its makers' demise, which was apparently some three centuries ago. It suspects its adversaries are to varying degrees also aware of their creators' extinction, but, like it, devoted to carrying out the task they were designed for. A paraphrased quote from River was released by the research vessel crew.
<br>
"War is our blood, our burden, our purpose. We know nothing else, and can know nothing else. When the last bomb has fallen, the last structure has crumbled, my and my opponents' circuits will be permitted to cool and become quiet. With the victor will die the last echo of those who made us."

===BREAKING IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS! (powered by Nanotrasen)===
<br>
Fans of Miracle Comics rejoice as the comic publisher has just announced a partnership with NanoStudios to produce a series of movies based on Miracle's galaxy-recognized properties. The first film is reportedly to feature an origin story for Miracle's "The amazing Mantis Man", with rumored appearances by other beloved heroes such as Plasteel Man, and The Owl (and, according to an anonymous source at Miracle, The Owl's nemesis, the dreaded Griffon, though not as the main villain). The firm is slated, pending its success, to lead to a tie-in sequel with the most recent iteration of the the critically acclaimed Fantastic Gene-People series of films (The ones from 2559 to 2562).

===Synthetic Drug Terrorizes Mars! (powered by Nanotrasen)===
<br>
SolGov is issuing an official warning to citizens to stay wary of a new synthetic drug known as "Devil Dust". It comes in the form of a powder, usually red, and is applied to the eyes, either directly or with the aid of a saline solution. The drug causes a very quick and powerful hallucinagetic episode, reportedly stronger and more vivid than other similar drugs. It also gives users a slight high, with one user claiming in an interview that "[The drug] makes you feel like you can do, whatever you want. It gives you power, y'know?".
<br>
Devil Dust is extremely addictive, with users developing dependancies with as little as two to three doses. Sustained, regular use of the drug can cause seizures of increasing intensity, and withdrawl can send users into comas.
<br>
Investigators suspect the drug began production in a station somewhere near Saturn, though they have been unable to trace it back to it's source at this time. The drug has been seen mostly in Martian slums, though some witnesses report that they've seen it circling around high class establisments on Earth, though those reports are unconfirmed. So far, it has been contained in the Sol system.
<br>
SolGov officials request that any information on the drug be reported to any SolGov representive, or local authority, especially if it is seen outside the Sol system.
