''Breaking News:'' Core issues preliminary statement that illegal deep mining may have been taking place near the Spire, and may be a possible link to the tragedy currently unfolding.<br>
 
The most massive natural disaster in the history of the Gemini has engulfed Troy.  Originating near the famed "spire" of Core's largest sub mantle mining operation, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, heat, and poisonous gas combined to lead to the greatest tragedy in memory.  Current estimates predict a final casualty count of 500,000 to 1 million, with 5 times that number injured.  Property damage assessments are impossible, although sources tell us that the Spire was constructed at a scale where at least 20-50 years of operations would be necessary to pay for it.  The Aenean governor, Abraham Vandumar, has declared martial law and instated a full Aenean military call-up: for those unfamiliar with this action, all Aenean male citizens are expected to report for military service under this request.  The Third Aenean Battlegroup has been dispatched from Aeneas to Castor, something that has not happened since the second Trojan rebellion, 35 years ago.  Currently, both Glaucus and Idomeneus and all inhabited moons in Castor have responded to the crisis by offering full support, although some sources have expressed concern at the military-dominated response of the Aeneans.  Indeed, it appears that there is something of a buildup of privateers and mercenaries in the Glaucan spaceport. 
 
Core representatives could not be reached for comment.  A written statement disavowing responsibility for the catastrophe and stating that they were working with all possible speed to determine the cause of the problem. 
 
  
A powerful new computer virus, designated "smallpox" has made an appearance in several important data systems and crippled at least 4 class II-III AIs.  Affected data zones have been quarantined, but it is unknown at this point how widespread the infection may be.  Cerberus Sysops are currently working around the clock to crack the virus, and the current security patch to Watchdog may be downloaded [[here]]: although this cannot eliminate the virus from your system, it will identify it's presence and place affected systems into quarantine mode.  [[for anyone with programming: it will also contact cerberus and let them know you're infected unless you specifically tell it not to do that]].

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.

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
