The commanders of the Alliance and Sirius Corporation are celebrating the one month anniversary of the Inter-faction Mutual Benefit Agreement (IMBA). This agreement declared that pilots of both powers shall aid one another wherever possible towards goals of mutual profit, in the expansion of business and in actions against mutual enemies. Pilots of both factions have been bringing commodities unique of their region to the capital of the other power as a sign of goodwill and of respect of an agreement between natural allies.



Senator Anders Blaine, Chancellor to Emperor Hengist Duval made a surprise statement on the steps of the Imperial Palace today. With obvious joy on his face he declared that the Emperor has awoken from his coma. “It is with great pleasure I can announce that Emperor Hengist Duval awoke from his coma in the early hours of this morning. His physicians have completed extensive medical tests and declared him well on the way to becoming fit and healthy. They have advised a few days of rest and monitoring before he resumes his state functions. He has expressed his intention to lead the senate in a few days time.” Amidst the well wishes a small number of the more cynical pundits have muttered that they will believe the good news when they see the Emperor in person. As part of the celebrations for this news it was also announced that all independent pilots with an active rank with the Imperial Navy will be able to purchase the Imperial Courier and Imperial Clipper ships.



After several decades as a Freelancer member of the Pilots Federation, Commander DarkStar united a fleet of former Imperial and Federal pilots. Working closely with Commander Equin0x, he formed a freelancer fleet to patrol the frontier and assist in the economic development. The long term aim is to help free them the superpowers. CMDR Equin0x commented to GalNet: "The superpowers exploit the populations of the frontier colonies to gain cheap labour and materials, in conditions that are near to, if not actual slavery." Their influence and fame seems to spread fast, and with over 100 ships, their number of associates grows even faster. News of technical documents posted anonymously via the shady dark network are causing concern among Imperial Pilots. According to the documents some of the new Imperial modules that have been appearing recently are linked to research carried out by the discredited Professor Denzile Dex and doubts about their safety have been raised. Professor Dex has been missing for several years and it is widely believed that his sudden disappearance was connected to the 4EverYoung life-extension technology scandal. The story suggests research seized from Professor Dex at the time of the 4EverYoung scandal formed the basis of the design for a number of the latest Imperial prototypes including the Imperial Hammer and the Prismatic Shield Generators. Anecdotal reports of side effects from the new technology have already begun surfacing. One report claims that the harmonic adjustments in the design of the Prismatic Shield Generator can cause temporary cognitive impairment and even psychosis.The commanders of the Alliance and Sirius Corporation are celebrating the one month anniversary of the Inter-faction Mutual Benefit Agreement (IMBA).
