Several outbreaks of religiously motivated rioting have broken out on Calchas in the Castor system. Given the poor state of the police presence there, the rioting has quickly spread, although the presence of large numbers of mercenaries in the vicinity of Glaucus makes it unlikely that the rioting will continue unabated much longer. These riots are reminiscent of the "pious crusade" movement on Calchas 50 years ago that led to widespread destruction throughout Castor and even on some frontier worlds in Pollux.

Cerberus reports successful containment of the "smallpox" virus that has ravaged the internet for the last few weeks. They are currently supplying patches here to rid your system of the virus. "Another example of the rapid response of the Cerberus team. We worked around the clock and nailed this thing to the wall before it could do any real damage." The Cerberus Sysop Root is quoted as saying.

Leif Hrulfgarrson, after several administrative hurdles, has secured sufficient funding for a "preliminary" survey of a site on Andromache 3. Statements taken from him amount to a suggestion that even this survey will bring in funding and allow him to expand the site rapidly. The expedition is expected to be underway within 2-3 months.

Several long distance scanning satellites have disappeared in the outer 6-4-82 sector, compounding the travel warnings in this area. It is believed that the disappearance of these satellites is connected to the anomalous activity in the orion nebula.

King Volonus Julius Augustus Caesar has issued a proclamation expelling all Aeneans other than official ambassadors from Priam. Q. Cicero, his press secretary, is quoted as saying "given the current military buildup and escalation pursued as policies by the Aeneans, King Volonus at this time feels it prudent to express his displeasure in the strongest terms possible. This action in no way prevents further diplomacy between our nations, as demonstrated by our willingness to permit ambassadors to remain, yet it is the royal wish that those with potential influence be denied the comfort of Lycurgan patronage so that they might be motivated to enact change."
