Brotherhood of Steel Fills Planets Full of Lead


Beginning around 9:00 PM server time today, a large force of Brotherhood of Steel warships gathered to wreak havoc on the still largely undeveloped planets that cover the galaxy. At least 8 BoS were present in SM at the time of the attacks, with at least 5 participating. Early reports show that 4 or more planets were struck, owned by Fallen Angels, Rhumbustik Yawbus, A New Found Glory, and The Forsaken, with each attack proving to be a success. BoS's early strke against Fallen Angels's planet in 996 yielded early results for the planet busing crew, catching Electicdeath on planet and Solo while he attempted to flee. (Note: Earlier reports of the JAM software upgrades for shield generators have now been proven correct.)

9:23:58 PM Electricdeath (266) was killed by One_Winged_Angel (6) in Sector #996 (planet)

A further strike on 1573, owned by RY, yielded no casualties, but gained the strike force a new defense locker. Yet not all went well for the strike force, despite their successes. The A New Found Glory planet, which was occupied by the attack force, was soon after reclaimed by its original owners. ANFG members, for personal security, refused to reveal the location of this strike/counterstrike. A further attack against The Forsaken's planet in 1533 alerted a nearby fighter, piloted by Warlock. As the strike force claimed the planet and prepared to disband, his cloaked vessel (reputably a Federal Ultimatum) moved in and caught an unsuspecting BoS pilot in the form of Sorrow.

And while the planetary strikes had ended, the victories (and losses,) for the Brotherhood had not quite come to an end. Following some scout messages, Dread Pirate Roberts and Swagman podded Bosefus, at the time the #3 trader. Congratulations for the great kill. Yet soon afterwards, this same duo tried the same double team on Apex, only to lose one of their own in the attack. Apparently, with the good comes the bad. Yet all in all, a successful strike by Brotherhood of Steel. Lets hope to see more action like this in the days and weeks ahead!

MrSpock joins cult!

Sources stated today that MrSpock, formerly proclaimed heathen god of Space Merchant Realms, was quoted as to stating that the writings of Deke Fentle, passed down by Imperial, are 'a bible to him.' This paper has now determined that Spock is not a god, merely a disciple of the great and mysterious Deke Fentle. We apologize for any confusion this might have caused.

Dark Angel Loses Navigational Systems; Collides with Passing Freighter

Earlier today, Dark Angel, leader of the Fallen Angels (you'd figure by the names, wouldn't you?), lost all power to her vessels navigational systems, and floated at high speeds into a passing freighter. No casualties were reported by Federal authorities at the scene. DA, also know to the public as Nariis, suffered some minor injuries and is expected to recover (with the assistance of several pain medications.) This publication wishes her a full and speedy recovery.
