The Awakening Begins

Once again the pilots awake and find themselves in a new Universe. New allies are being formed and each alliance begins looking to gain that top spot. The question everyone is asking is if Death Control will really be able to keep control over this game. There are many alliances gearing up to push them down, but we will have to wait and see if they have any success.

It seems all pilots are all pretty excited about testing out their new ship upgrades, and the traders are out scrambling to be the first to find the 'perfect' route. Traders have already begun working their way out of their old Semi's and those more daring are out scouting the universe for new planets to settle.

What will come of this "Awakening" universe? Will we see the return of the balance of power or will Death Control continue to monopolize the wealth of the galaxies? We hope to see all these questions revealed as time progresses.



Galactic Maze

Pilots are demanding the establishment of a Universal Information Booth in this new universe to prevent getting lost in the myriad of galaxies. It seems the massive number of galaxies has confused the many cartographers hoping to map the universe for easier travel. We can only hope that if anyone is able to manage mapping this maze that the Federation will help distribute it to prevent the loss of any more pilots from confusion in the mess of warps.



A New Force

With the start of another era various groups of elite pilots have formed to create a new alliance. The Order has arrived and is already showing that they are ready to shake the powers for control of this game. Death Control and The Order are currently neck-in-neck in the trading race, both hoping to keep control of the top position. Other traders, seeing their might, are beginning to ask who they are, and what they are planning to do in this new universe. Will they uphold the beloved values of the Federation, or will they destroy all that it has stood for?



Death Control Taking Control

Rumours are going around saying that Death Control is already building up their own planet galaxy? One of Travdan’s "brothers" was quoted as saying, "that’s right, we are building the Death Fortress in Lacerta as I speak. Soon no one will be able to stand against us. We held that galaxy last game, and no one will stop us this game."

News of this is already spreading to many other alliances, and a member of one of DC's largest contenders, The Order, stated, “some have heard about this rumoured ‘Death Fortress’ and quite frankly, we can't wait to take it down. Our entire alliance is pretty excited about the upcoming war, and we look forward to meeting Death Control in battle.” With both alliances seemingly ready for a fight, this could turn out to be one of the best wars of SMR.



Creonti President Barring Trade

Many races from across the universe have been sending peace treaty requests to the Creonti government. Unfortunately, even against the wishes of the Creonti council, the President is using his veto power on every vote. This is leaving the Creonti traders far behind in terms of peace negotiations, and may soon hinder them in the trading race. With the Creonti people begging for peace, it doesn't seem like Creonti President Jason Clearbrook is going to be around for much longer. Hopefully the Creonti will be able to get their issues resolved soon, or it the entire universe could be disrupted by their closed borders.



Out Come the Hunters

As the economy of the new universe develops, more and more pirates are beginning to appear across the galaxies. Death Control, the conquerors of the last universe, already have taken a definite lead in kills. Traders across the galaxies are arming their ships to the teeth, hoping to defend their precious goods and cash, but the ship death toll continues to rise. The Federation, which tracks all ships going through their space, has reported that they have seen a very high number of escape pods for this early in the universe's development. Traders are desperately hoping that this is not a forecast of the times to come, but the Federation recommends that you prepare for the worst.
