Hyperdyne, Inc.  Announced today that early testing would soon begin on their new "warp" drive.  "It's completely revolutionary" says Hyberdyne public relations VP Mike Vilpers. "Utilizing K-technologies derived from jump drives, Warp drives permit "bending" of the laws of relativity, if you will.  These engines will enable us to overcome the speed limit of light, so that the great distances of the Gemini will soon be nothing more than a minor inconvenience."  While such rosy predictions may be realized sooner than many had anticipated, for now Hyperdyne will content itself with breaking the notorious speed record of the "Tangerine Dream".  The Speed Trial of the prototype spacecraft is set for two weeks from today, 10:00 AM standard time.

Scattered reports are coming in about one, possibly two unknown Jump Ships. Although the number of reports could easily come from only one ship (the more likely explanation), wide divergence in size reports substantiate the possibility of two new ships.

In the midst of religious rioting on Calchas, most major spaceports and industrial zones have been seized by christian fundamentalists, who have declared the planet their domain: their onslaught has been vastly more successful than anticipated, leading to fears that such uprisings will spread. They state that they intend to ally themselves with von Goettingen and the Aeneans. Casualty reports are difficult to gather because of the chaos on the planet. It is clear that small enclaves of corporate coalition resistance remain, but they are isolated and, by now, heavily fortified.

The Imperator Quintus Fabius Maximus, Imperator of the Castor system, has issued a statement that all available military and mercenary personnel should make their way to Glaucus: he states that the corporate coalition intends to reimburse fully for time alloted. It is also clear that all spaceports on glaucus are being fortified.

[anyone with military/streetwise contacts will know that several higher risk, higher pay opportunities are available for ships with high maneuverability and/or stealth capabilities]

Announcing the formation of the Pan-Pollux Militia! anyone age 16 or older is eligible to enlist: provided is your training, your room and board, and your equipment. All those enlisting will be rewarded with property and material goods in Aenean provinces, following their liberation from the Aenean dictatorship. See your local recruiter or click here
