LUDI, CERES—The Twin Queens approved a work order submitted by Councillor Vay Hek to double the funding for the production of Fomorian Cores. Though Hek’s assaults against the Relays had earned him some favor with the Queens, his operations as of late are starting to look like they were hit by a bus.

Under constant assault by both the Corpus and the Tenno, Ceres has become more of a battlefield than shipyard in recent weeks. Councillor Vay Hek has struggled to sustain his operations in collaboration with Lieutenant Lech Kril across the various outposts due to these assaults and has allegedly been mishandling funds. It has been reported that he has been attempting to divert Tenno from stealing Fomorian Cores from the shipyard by offering them battle pay to defeat the invading Corpus forces.

Despite his efforts to buy out the Tenno, Vay Hek has found his operations on Earth, Ceres, and Phobos under constant assault by the Tenno. In fact, the frequency of assaults has risen by nearly 40% due to the efforts of an expanding group of elite forces known only as the “Raid School Bus” terrorizing his forces in an act of retribution for the loss of the Relays over one year ago. Kril, confused by the continued operations on Phobos after trading the outposts with the Corpus for Mars, has expressed concerns in regards to the Queens’ decision.

As Fomorian Core production ramps up once again, Vay Hek has resorted to desperate measures to continue operations during the shortage. In lieu of actual Fomorians stationed within planetary range of Grineer outposts, cardboard cutouts have been raised to boost morale and intimidate potential attackers.
