After finalizing talks the governments of Calerost and Trianar have announced the creation of the God-born pact, a military and economic alliance between the two nations. The speed of the talks and formation of the alliance was never before seen in calerostan history, but it’s assumed that the cultural similarities and similar ideologies lead to that breakthrough.
The current look of the Starlifting Swarm around Cealynn.
The Galactyan Empire has decided to add a new external layer to the Starlifting Swarm around the blue supergiant Cealynn, located in the south of Quadrant 20. This new layer will expel enough material from the giant star to make it stable for 10 thousand years, in addition to the 15 thousand already secured by the centenary original Swarm.
With great courtesy from the Ministry Of Education, an illustrative educational chart has been made on the effects that the Type II Supernova would have on the Empire, as well as it's neighboring nations:
As is displayed, the Supernova would have tremendous effects on tens of thousands of colonies in the Empire and it's various neighbors, and while the radiation would move at subluminal speeds therefore allowing for a great deal of time to prepare for even those in the central red zone, it would still be an immensely damaging event. Luckily, the amount of mass already removed from the star's upper layers has assured Cealynn 4500 years of relative stability even without the aid of the Starlifting Swarm.
The Galactyan Empire publicly announces the opening of formal trade relations with the bordering Zelvan Regime. After a diplomatic first contact between Grand Vizier Kesh na-Seter and the fourth toposophic virtual Assistance Of Form on one of the habitats of the Heshed Dyson Swarm, the Empire has began to buy a large amount of slaves from the Regime, most of which are currently being moved by a fleet of cruisers to the Heshed Swarm’s habitats. While Galactya hasn't directly declared what is going to happen to the slaves, it is expected that they won't remain slaves for long, and that they'll become citizens of the Empire.
Alien ruins have been found during a Mandi mining operation. Strangly, some of them don’t seem to have been built that long before the Mandi discovered the planet.
Piraltho, one of the star systems in the Rikjett Nebula, and part of the Rikee Star Cluster. Heplan, a Gas Subgiant, can be seen in the left of the image.
The Galactyan Empire announces the beginning of the terraformation and subsequent colonization of Piraltho, a Red Dwarf Binary System part of the Rikee Star Cluster, the group of stars located inside the small, 8 light years wide, Rikjett Nebula in the east of Quadrant 19.
Terraformation Swarms were dispatched two days ago and have already arrived to Piraltho, while a small construction fleet is already working on establishing an Hyperlane Connection. In the meantime a large number of orbital habitats is already being constructed around the inner planets from the planetary rings, attracting many citizens of the Core Worlds.
If any ally of the Empire wishes to take part in this colonization, it will be able to do so through the appropriate communication channels.
The Diplomatic Corp was officially reorganized into the Political Officers. The previous institution was highly inefficient due to the amount of skills each of the Diplomats had to posses. The Political officers are separated into two branches: Diplomatic, specializing in xeno-Envari relations and Investigative, managing Comissariat’s internal affairs. In charhe of the whole institution was put Director, previously known as Admiral, Hoxha, thanks to his succesful first contact, diplomatic mission and exposing the previous systems inefficiencies. With this reform, Comissariat’s internal and now external security is stronger than ever. All hail the Grand Comissar!

Broadcast from Colonus Prime
“The passing of a parent is a pain felt deep within, a pain felt by every citizen of Colonus this morning. High Lord Araknis lived in service to his people for more than half his long life, and never wavered. The war that left him a broken man could not break his oath to us. May Zalain help him to rest in the next life.”
Sins of The Past Shipyard, Geosych Orbit Atlia Prime
Today, the SoTP Shipyard started mainline production of the XC-02 Firelight Corvette. The corvette, designed from the ground up with new technology, has integrated bright space drive, and Taychon Rift Lasers, and now has a new zero point reactor.
Colonus has disbanded its spy program in a move High Lord Scytheros called “… the first step to a stronger Colonus”
In its place, a mysterious group called “Antlions” has been formed, named after the ambush predator-insect said to be native to the human home world.
The imperial ministry of infrastructure reports that all the mirial beacons in the Celebar net (meaning all beacons on the territory of the duchy of Celebar and county palatine of Nenothrond) went dark. A outage this big has never happened before in the history of the beacon travel network. Local officials in Celebar blame the outage on a software bug but refuse to add more detail. This is a big deal because all trade to celebar has to be redirected, as well as the imperial ministry also being cut off from all traffic monitoring in the area. It is recommended for all who planned to travel to this region to delay their trips.
During today's monthly Coalition meeting, a fight broke out between the various National Representatives over a minor disagreement. The Calerostan Representative started insulting the Galactyan and Ferristian Representatives, as well as the newly arrived Colestian Representative, that took their position in office just some weeks prior.
The other diplomats took defense of their offended colleagues, further fueling the insults exchange, which quickly spiraled out of control until security droids had to restrain the Calerostan Representative as he was about to physically attack the Galactyan Representative.
The Calerostan Representative was then arrested and temporarily banished from Galactyan territory, being directly sent back to the Calerostan Empire.
The High Galactyan Government expressed their appallment and disappointment at the wildly uncivilized behavior of the representative, saying that such actions won't and can't be tolerated in the civilized galaxy.
The imperial estate has condemned Galactya for braking the diplomatic immunity of their diplomat by arresting him which is a clear violation of the treaty of Celebar, and the media for making it look like he started the fight. The estate has also announced that calerost is pulling out of the joint navy program for now to fully focus on it’s own fleet building program, probably directly triggered by the recent events.
Sea of Infinite Colours Research Hub, 3 ABT The Data Frontiers, Nexus Territory Weather: Class Three Heavy Data Storm
Nexus Broadcasting Service — SICRH Servicing Area
Travel through the Nexus today screeches to a halt as a Class Three Heavy Data Storm rolls through the Nexus. Traffic in most areas has ceased as the storm is expected to heighten radiation to lethal amounts.
Humanoid entities that are not resistant to radiation, excluding rift walkers should remain indoors and shelter in place while the storm passes through. We will provide live updates as necessary.
Repeat. This is a Class Three Heavy Data Storm. Excess Radiation is expected, remain indoors.
My news so far:
Industry boost
The Moltite industry has gone up 200% since last quarter, being valued at 9*(10^2763) Frudrings, or 7,204 billion grams of gold. We are glad of this, as we can now afford to continue making King Greggor VI healthier and studying how to fix Count Teloiv’s psychotic episodes. This will also help us figure out how to turn off the money printer.
Law passed by the PoD
The Parliament of Descendants has passed a law that allows the bypassing of unpopular heirs to allow kings to abdicate. As Greggor VI has been wishing to abdicate and is now able to without the threat of Greggor VII taking over, our crown will now be passing to our next available heir. All hail Jhorjhia, first queen of our magnificent kingdom.
Environmentalists call for eco-friendly mining practices
Recently, environmentalists have called for the Blakton Mining Region to be forced to adopt eco-friendly practices so that the “scar on Tyraescar” can heal up. They got to the point in revolting where they killed 3 people by shoving them right into boiling magma. They have been sentenced to 60 years in the mines with no pay, and life in prison if they survive past that age.
Man found on Djek Neva alive after going missing for 28 years
After vanishing 2 years and 8 months ago in a cloud of steam, moltite tycoon Drako Ploentetr-Blakton has been found after he went to the hospital to get a skin graft for 4th degree burns on his back. Drako, the founder of the DPBMK, was a hands on employer who was presumed dead after vanishing in a cloud of steam. However, he was recently sent to the hospital after being set on fire by a gas explosion. His reappearance means his son, Sedot Drako-Blakton, will have to resign from his position as head of the company. Nrum for Joy!

The Winds are picking up regionally as a Light Front pushes through today. The town sleeps peacefully. New manufacturing bases are being set up near and around, hopefully making the newer Stockler II Rift Beam.
With us now on the Ground is Ana Grays, Correspondent for NBS.
“On the ground, construction picks up its pacing as more buildings are erected in rapid pace. Manufacturing Plants, Chip Production, other important things that keep our Nexus Safe and Secure. Ana Grays, NBS.”
The high priesthood of Ilanor has officially issued a anathema against Estaron of the house of Lanthirphen, making him the first person since the miraline war to be both dishonored and excommunicated, making him a raugellon, demon-friend. In edhel culture this is seen as the lowest of lows, the person is considered a servent of the Ogrmarim and with that a enemy to all of the Edhelrim and the gods.
[1 ABT] (Broadcast in the days preceding Araknis’s Funeral)
Tragedy strikes! High Lord Araknis has died peacefully in his sleep, leaving the throne empty for the first time in his century-long reign. The duty of ruling over the nation has fallen to his eldest son, Scytheros, and his bold plans for a strong future. For now, however, he must grapple with the loss of his father, the imminent destruction of the planet Araknis’s star, and a coronation like nothing Colonus has seen before…
The Mephemnedi Star Cluster, recognizable by it's three brightest stars Laocor, Su'umun and Qanzit, "above" the Baghrada Nebula.
After two weeks of radio silence, the Galactyan Empire has confirmed the sudden disappearance of all computational infrastructure and processing substrates within the various star systems of the Mephemnedi Star Cluster. Said structures were part of the S4 Lesser Archailect Chazaqiel, whose disappearance has also been confirmed. All non-computational infrastructure that was present in the cluster's star systems, built as part of the Archailect's ambitious colonization project, has instead remained fully intact. There have also been no further confirmed disappearances or casualties, as the only sapient entity present in the cluster at the time was Chazaqiel emself.
The nature and causes of this disappearance are not yet known, and will be subject of further investigation by the Empire. There have also been unconfirmed rumors of a mysterious metric anomaly being spotted moving at superluminal speeds towards the heart of the Baghrada Nebula.
