以下為3304年11月24日過去一週的重大新聞：

Frederick Yamamoto上將宣布成為聯盟上將議會的第六名成員。該職位自Riri McAllister被揭露為極端組織League of Reparation的主要策劃人，而遭捕後就空缺至今。但該指派依舊引起了些許輿論，皆因Yamamoto上將與聯盟總統Gibson Kincaid為密友關係。

在被爆出監視機器人事件後，火星論壇報（Mars Tribune）因其擁有者被捕而關門大吉。此消息由之前被停職的Ramesh Thorne探員所公佈，同時他也被聯邦治安部隊所晉升。他同時向大眾保證，那些安裝於Achilles Corporation公司PA912型號管家機器人的監視程序已被全數移除。

另一方面，針對Sirius Corporation旗下的私人艦隊襲擊工程師Ram Tah於Meene星系的基地一案，該企業總裁Li Yong-Rui確認是隸屬其企業的初級官員主導了對Ram Tah基地——Phoenix Base——的非法入侵。因此，該官員已面臨數項指控。

極端組織Nova Imperium宣布其欲擁立新皇帝的意圖。該組織的首領已被確認為前艦隊上將Kaeso Mordanticus公爵——亦稱為Imperator。其指出帝國因和其他超級勢力的聯合已日漸衰弱，而新的皇帝必將讓帝國重現往日的光輝。

與Loha星系的兩大敵對派系已發展為全面的星系衝突。兩者間的關係在Loha Holdings指責另一方挾持其所屬的船隊並殺害船員後，已陷入僵局。但在New Loha Party聲稱並非其所為，該指控僅為前者的誣陷後，雙方的敵對關係正式升溫。由於雙方皆無艦隊，因此希冀可獲得眾飛行員的協助。

最後，Olelbis Holding派系的代言人宣布其於Olelbis星系的收購計畫順利完成。

以上便是這週的重大新聞。

Week in Review

24 NOV 3304

Here are this week’s major stories.

Admiral Frederick Yamamoto has been announced as the sixth member of the Alliance Council of Admirals. The position had been vacant for months after the previous appointment, Riri McAllister, was discovered to be the coordinator of terrorist group the League of Reparation. The decision has ruffled some feathers, not least because Admiral Yamamoto is a close personal friend of President Gibson Kincaid.

The Mars Tribune has been closed and its owner arrested in the wake of the spy robot scandal. The announcement was made by Detective Captain Ramesh Thorne, who was recently reinstated to, and promoted by, the Federal Security Service. Thorne assured the public that the surveillance program installed in some Achilles Corporation PA912 robots had been removed.

In other news, the Sirius Corporation has responded to the revelation that members of its private fleet conducted a mercenary raid on the Meene system. Li Yong-Rui, CEO of Sirius Corp, confirmed that a cabal of junior officers had orchestrated an illegal operation to gain access to Phoenix Base. The officers now face multiple charges.

Isolationist group Nova Imperium has declared its intention to install a new Emperor. The group’s leader, recently identified as ex-navy admiral Duke Kaeso Mordanticus and known as the Imperator, said that the superpower had been weakened by collaborating with its enemies, and that the new Emperor would restore the glory of the Empire.

Meanwhile, a long-standing rivalry between two factions in the Loha system has erupted into full-scale conflict. Relations were already strained when Loha Holdings accused its rivals of hijacking transport ships and murdering their crews. After the New Loha Party claimed this was a false flag operation designed to discredit them, diplomacy was replaced by weapons fire. Since neither side has an extensive fleet, both have appealed for support.

Finally, a spokesperson for Olelbis Holdings has announced that its appeal for commodities has reached a successful conclusion. Hundreds of pilots supported the campaign by delivering goods to Polyakov Orbital, and by eliminating agitators in Olelbis, thereby ensuring the safety of traders.

And those are the main stories this week.
