New Species Arrives in Atania
By Milos Osurr Star Date: 18.11.2511 A new species, dubbing themselves as “humans”, have recently made entry into the far western quadrant of Atania. Arriving on three conquest-class starships, the human species was approached by a squadron of patrolling Kunar units, which proceeded to open fire on the vessels. After a short firefight and losses on both sides, Kunar High Lord Rorq called for a ceasefire and a meeting between leadership of both parties. “We have forgiven these humans for the losses of our Regime forces, and they have forgiven us for the loss of theirs,” High Lord Rorq said. “There was a misunderstanding and clear tension among both parties. We will assess the situation further, including any political alliances.” The Chyl, currently embroiled in a military standstill with the Kunar, also sent diplomats to greet the human starships. “The future of Atania is ever-changing. A new species in our midst means new opportunities, but also new problems,” said Alis leader Myshra Vin. Vin explained that while the Chyl are looking forward to making connections with the galaxy’s latest addition, the humans would first need time to settle in. Humans are bipedal creatures with an average life span of one-hundred to one-hundred-and-thirty years. Their facial structure, hair, and genetics make them the closest to Chyl, Ixr, and Uvari biologically. This is the first introduction of a new species into Atania since the arrival of the Docians five centuries ago. Humanity has been granted access to the galactic lexicon by the High Prime and is expected to have an official introduction to the over four-hundred-and-seventy species of Atania at the next assembly for the Collective Galactic Council.

Firefight in Ituch sends Civilians Scrambling
By: Milos Osurr Star Date: 13.7.2533 Citizens are calling for action after an explosion and reported firefight broke out at the top of Tiokali Tower early last night. The explosion occurred on the rooftop of Tiokali, two floors away from where board members were meeting with potential investors to settle on a new distribution deal. Tiokali Industries has issued a press release stating that no members of the board, nor the members of the visiting investment team, were harmed in the explosion. Authorities say that foul play is suspected and are actively investigating. “I saw some kind of ship take off in a hurry from the roof,” said Ituchian bystander Wol Kestrat, “It passed through the smoke and then just disappeared in the blink of an eye. No sound, no trail.” The government of Ituch has called upon the assistance of the U.I.F.H. due to Tiokali’s nature as a human-run company. General Syrinal Kerrigee has stepped in as the lead for the investigation. Kerrigee has offered no comment at this time. For the latest in Atanian news, lock in to the Nexus.
Golah Gone After Meteor Strike
By: Vinanzi Qual Star Date: 30.10.2646 The High Prime is racing to send aid after a meteor struck and cracked apart Golah, one of the moons in the Avir system. The moon was impacted around 2:15 A.M. AST, and was shattered into thousands of smaller pieces that were spread out into the atmosphere. Some of this debris is currently projected to hit Hexut, another moon in the Avir system, within the next two weeks. The High Prime has requested the aid of Bera Corps., a paramilitary organization that handles planetary cleanup, to detour the remaining debris before it reaches Hexut. The operation was placed under the oversight of Human High Prime representative, Rilen Fev. “With the help of Bera Corps., we will make sure that the citizens of Hexut, and any of those traveling through the Avir system, are safe from the aftermath of this unexpected event,” said Fev. Golah was marked by the U.I.F.H. as uninhabitable due to the extreme freezing temperatures and bare landscape, and the U.I.F.H. has clarified that there are no known civilians or military personnel located on the planet, despite numerous rumors of a mining facility. No debris is expected to strike Avir itself, which remains an uninhabited tropical planet. Despite this, the U.I.F.H. will be placing military patrols to reduce travel over the next three weeks.

Security Breach Drops Stock Dock Stock
By Keena Stas Star Date: 26.3.2660 Citizens and financiers alike are reeling after yesterday’s breach of the Stock Docks has caused supply and demand issues across the galaxy. Companies that utilized the Stock Docks as a main hub of export, including Tiokali-Anthi Industries and Vinokentel, have seen massive drops in the price of their stock as a result of the ship breach that punctured a hole in the side of the Stock Docks around 6:17 A.S.T. While the 40 second breach was quickly sealed by emergency engineering bots, there are at least 1,300 declared lost or missing and billions of dollars in supplies and goods that were ejected out of Tovarro’s hull. “Unfortunately, due to Tovarro’s speed and its constant movement through space, recovery of anyone or anything lost in the breach is impossible,” said Tovarro Secretary head Ino Renpah. “TovaSec is performing an active investigation, and we encourage anyone with information to please come to one of our many offices across the station. Our thoughts and condolences go out to those affected.” “The situation is far from great,” said Fallon Quoris, Chief Financial Officer of Vinokentel. “Our company lost thirty billion in the blink of an eye, and we’re not alone. The costs of reproduction for all the goods lost, the payouts in medical expenses and insurances to the families of Vinokentel workers that are gone now… It’s a lot to recover from financially. Even worse is that we know there are certain vultures waiting in the shadows of the Underside, ready to pick at our scraps. Let it be known: If anyone, self-claimed royalty or not, intends to impede on Vinokentel business, they will be dealt with.” Early releases from the ongoing TovaSec investigation state that the breach was caused by a Kunar reclaiment ship as it smashed through the stations shields at a sharp angle. Recovery efforts have already cleaned up what remains of the downed ship, but numerous members of the Collective council are calling for answers. Reclaiments, special forces used by the Kunar military, are not allowed to operate outside of Kunar space except in very particular circumstances and under the orders of the Kunar Regime. There is no word yet on whether the crash was a docking malfunction or intended attack on Tovarro by the Kunar species. High Lord Regal of the Kunar Regime could not be reached for comment. He is expected to make a statement to the rest of the High Prime and the Collective in an emergency session. For the latest in Atanian news, lock in to the Nexus.
Laranya Launches Biggest Tour Yet
By: Keena Stas Star Date: 3.29.2660 Galactic pop superstar Laranya kicked off her new shooting star tour with a public performance of the titular song in Tovarro Station’s Highlands. The Sirelian singer started the evening with a moment of silence for those affected by the Stock Dock breach, and announced that she will be donating a third of the tour’s proceeds towards recovery and relief for the affected families. Laranya then performed a handful of her hits, including “Glitch” and “Exo-stential”, before closing with the first performance of “Shooting Star” for the public. “I cannot believe I was lucky enough to witness it”, said self-proclaimed Laranya megafan Givaru Wiln. “To be able to hear her, in person. She’s always so perfect. It’s like I ascended to another vibration.” The performance, originally scheduled for the 27th, was postponed after a bounty chase in the Highlands resulted in damage to the main observatory and fountain of Qivera Square. While the damage had been cleaned up prior to the arrival of Laranya’s stage crew, the singer was placed under high security after being mere feet away from the chase’s culmination. No information has been released from TovaSec on who was being pursued, or why. “Rest assured that Miss Laranya, nor any other celebrities in the Highlands at that moment, were the target of the pursued. We are working hard to protect the citizens of Tovarro, and we know that tensions are high right now after the breach. We urge everyone to exercise the utmost caution, especially if attending the concert.” The tour’s first leg will include three performances on Tovarro, two performances on Vensha, and single performances on Ivala-4, Millik, Kina, Sxalla, Kantum-3, and Centavi-7. Tickets sold out within seconds of release, with some resellings going as high as four million quintel. Laranya is expected to release her new single on all platforms in 4 days, and announce the dates and locations of the tour’s second leg in ten. For the latest in Atanian news, lock in to the Nexus.
