Lorn
Today a major explosion destroyed a supply warehouse near the outskirts of the Capitol on Lorn 4. Hundreds of people were killed or injured in what is going to be called a great catastrophe. Although initial investigation reports are calling this an �accident,� Field Marshal Majere has ordered an investigation into the incident. This accident has slowed down, but not stopped, the recent training exercises going on in the Lorn System.
Erewhon
Today the frigate that was almost destroyed is being towed to the shipyard in the Lorn system. All crews from the frigate have been transferred to the ISD Nemesis where it is currently patrolling the area until a replacement capitol ship has been sent. According to my sources a VSD is currently under retrofit to permanently replace the injured frigate.
Gracchus
Even with the increase in stormtrooper support car bombs are beginning to explode all over the Capitol City. High General Spartacus has ordered a team of commandos to investigate and terminate the problem. Rumors are that a intelligence team from Clan Panther is in system and coordinating these attacks against the citizens of Gracchus.

In todays news Tolk Gibsic�s trial for the failed robbery attempt at the bank he was working in started deliberations. Everyone fully expects the trial to go quickly and smoothly with Tolk�s guilty admission.

Although no new news regarding Lord Blackstake�s murder has been uncovered voting booths from all over are being set up for the new election. The two main candidates are Kathrin Plalsk and Tobo Booskit. According to todays polls if the election was to take place today Kathrin Plalsk would take the election by a margin of 3 percent. Tobo Booskit increased his election campaigning by holding a news conference at a newly constructed school.

The SSD Mustang currently under command of Grand Moff Kadann has captured a taskforce of Clan Panther ships trying to slip past its guard. Clan Panthers escorts were quickly destroyed by a squadron of Tie Defender and the 2 Modified Corvettes were impounded pending investigation by Grand Moff Kadann�s Special Forces Unit Lion Sect.
