News Article Publisher : WARBLE INQUIRER Writer : Butterrobber202 Editor : Ryverstyx & Brotendo 07/02/2464 Jargon sends aid to their allies. Editors note: Translated to Basic. In a surprise address on behalf of the Grand Council, Ormish Jrolk of the Advisory Council announced they would be sending a large-scale relief fleet to assist the Solarian Alliance’s remaining territories. `“When we thought we were alone amongst the stars— when we were the only ones to make the first hurdle of exploring space— when we least expected it, that is when our first veritable ally made themselves apparent: the Solarian Alliance. Humanity has been a true ally to the Skrell, as both trade partners and interstellar allies, for the last one-hundred and thirty one years. Despite the myriad of human nations that have come to number the Spur, it was the Solarian people who welcomed us and enriched our perspectives with divergent outlooks on life.”` `“It was truly a tragedy painted in the stars that our own internal struggles prevented us from helping the Alliance during their time of need. Now that our focus inward has been mediated, we can turn outwards once more: a referendum by the Grand Council that a belated response makes for a preferable alternative than willingly ignoring the Solarian crisis.”` Later that day, the press was allowed access to the dockyards where the fleet was being prepared. It was largely composed of superfreighters loaded with domestic goods and food, with a few “infirmary” ships that have the capability to act as mobile hospitals. Despite minor protests from cautious observers, the Council of Infrastructure and Transport has volunteered a detachment of Skrell civil engineers, C’thur Workers, and a significant amount of processed materials to the effort. The Qukala was also present, escorting the fleet with three Eyrixoq and one Ayoni class vessel. The Relief Fleet is scheduled to launch the day after tomorrow and head into the Solarian Core Worlds. Once there, they plan to coordinate with Solarian officials and distribute their goods and services to anyone in need of assistance. SKRELL AID ARRIVES IN SOL! News Article Publisher : Sol Alliance News Network Writer : Butterrobber202 Editor : Ryverstyx & Brotendo 09/02/2464 Arrival of aid. `A holovid plays. In it several skrellian vessels exit bluespace while simmering brilliantly as their proton wakes fade. The video has triumphant orchestral music playing.` Today, the age-old allies of the Alliance arrived in force to offer a helping hand in this time of turmoil and strife! Thanks to the brave efforts of the Alliance Administration, our friends from the Federation have been given several struggling locations within de jure Alliance Space that remain loyal to the Solarian cause to target. While a small portion of the Federation’s relief effort was devoted to the core worlds and middle ring, much of the relief has been directed towards the Provisional Government and the Southern Solarian Military District. These two territories have greatly suffered during the crisis following the previous government’s failings. The Solarian Government has decided despite these temporary borders, a Solarian is a Solarian, and they must be privy to the aid offered by the Skrell. The accompanying “Qukala”, or the Federation’s Navy, has split into single escorts to fend off unsavory sorts during the relief operations. Though critics are concerned such a small task force will be unable to ward off more than petty pirates. Despite this, the brave relief fleet has already begun moving south to deliver their supplies and services. Only time will tell if the Federation’s good deed goes unpunished. FAMILIES REUNITED! EINSTEIN’S WARP GATES RETURN? News Article Publisher : Sol Alliance News Network Writer : Butterrobber202 Editor : Ryverstyx & Brotendo 12/02/2464 The positive effects of the Warp Gates impact the Alliance. `A holovid plays, with the camera on a black halo in space, surrounded by Federation support craft. The gate is carefully rigged to the ships via support lattice and massive wires. A nearby Alliance corvette flashes its blinker lights, and suddenly all the lattice and connections to the Gate fall away as the Federation ships back off. The space around the gate warps slightly, before suddenly popping back into position as brilliant orange and yellow lights begin to run the rim of the gate! A collective cheer comes up from a group behind the holovid recorder.` With the assistance of the Federation engineers and Einstein Engines designs, a trio of warp gates have been deployed in Solarian Space for the first time in almost forty years! This shocking secret project was quietly revealed to Alliance officials, who greenlit its deployment. According to a press release from Einstein Engines, these prototype gates were designed using Skrell warp designs merging with human engineering, in one of the most ambitious projects of the century. These warp gates are not only far more efficient but much faster than their forerunners. Einstein CEO Noelle Lopez-Zhang had the following to say: `“Humanity’s ambition in the Spur has long since been carried on the back of Einstein Engines, and the cradle of humanity is the Alliance. It is our desire to help ensure the economic and social stability of Solarian space with these gates and our future products. In time, Einstein’s allies will no longer feel the shackles of phoron, and will be able to freely travel the Spur once again.”` A trio of these gates were deployed with the combined efforts of the Alliance, the Federation and Einstein Engines. The Core Worlds, the Provisional Government, and Military District all eagerly agreed to have the gates opened in their territories to bring them one step further towards the reformation of the Alliance’s true state. Mere hours after the gates were opened, civilian craft and commercial transports began pouring through the gates. Families once separated by the collapse finally have means to rejoin their loved ones in the participating territories. `A holovid is embedded at the bottom of the article as well, it seems to be network footage of the inside of Unity Station’s docks. The camera begins looking out a window, where a civilian flotilla drifts outside, many still awaiting their turn to dock. The camera turns back to the interior, just in time to catch a father embracing a small girl that runs up to him. The holovid continues to record families reuniting, before quietly fading to black.`
