On the anniversary of the Kessler Crisis, Grand Marshall of Asphodel George Vandyre, has announced the end of martial law and transition to partial civilian rule. The new parliament has been evenly split between two parties, the centrist Union Party (UP) and the left wing Social Union of Asphodel (SUA). Both these parties are known for advocating against Asphodel’s independence before the Crisis.
The UP leader, Stephen Burns has been appointed the Prime Minister and Alura Audry, leader of the SUA, the Finance Minister. Other ministerial positions have too been filled out by members of either of the parties, except the Minister of Defence who remains a member of the military.
The Grand Marshall has also announced a militarisation program, aimed at reinforcing Asphodel’s defences. The Provisional Government still technically remains at war with any that are in conflict with the Elysium Federation, but it seems nothing more than empty shows of loyalty. At least for now.

Earlier today (1400 Circe Time), a Nyx Alliance spokesperson announced that six Vesta Pattern Craft Tenders had departed Eris Station for Selene orbit. From there, he explained, the ships would engage in cleanup operations alongside Exadeli Craft already present there.
In the past few couple months, Nyx and Circe vessels have arrived and chipped away at the debris cloud caused by the Elysium Federation (Formerly, Federation of Central States). While efforts have been in vain as of now, civilian transport skiffs have managed to dodge debris, whisking some away from the humanitarian crisis caused by the Elysium Federation’s ‘Unification War.’ Exaldi spokeswoman Mira Cortavel said in an interview that ‘Civilian transports will be granted safe passage off world- Military assets will be seized.’ The Elysium Federation’s Military Department failed to respond for comment.

ACHINSK — Today, it was announced that Cerberus would be moving forward with its plan to accept refugees from Elysium and send direct support to the clearing of space debris around Elysium. Prior to the Kessler Crisis, some in close proximity to the Elysium Federation and impacted by the war fled to the former SUIS states in the Confederation of Sovereign States and took advantage of the free movement between CSS states to escape to Cerberus, however this port of entry was closed by the government by November.
Cerberus will now be directly accepting refugees who flee to CSS states through humanitarian corridors established in the debris field of Elysium. Humanitarian camps have been established in Achinsk and Grustnyj oblasts, where refugees will be placed while receiving permanent resident status and undergoing language education. They will then be moved to public housing in the oblasts.
The decision was blasted by the primary opposition party, Freedom and Liberty, their leader Ivan Arshavin telling PSN, “Our planet is beautiful because of her people. While I sympathize with the plight of the refugees, this will lead to an unprecedented influx of tens of millions onto our planet, our institutions already stretched thin from when over half a million of these refugees streamed onto our world after the war on Elysium began.” Polls show many on Cerberus share this sentiment, with around 60% of citizens on average saying that refugees should not be broadly welcomed onto Cerberus. 75%, however, do support Cerberus taking a more active role on the side of the anti-Federation coalition.
Responding to Arshavin’s comments, Deputy Prime Minister Maria Lyovkina said in a press conference regarding the decision, “What he [Arshavin] does not understand is that nowhere in Pyxis is safe for humanity except for Cerberus. Across the system, wars are occurring and tyrants are rising, and if we do not take on our God-given role as the protectors of humanity, billions of innocent souls will be slaughtered.”
