Next on Raving Foxoid Holo-News...
Fierce street fighting has reportedly
broken out in the isolated moon-state of the Kral. Dogoids
have appeared to rise up in an urban insurrection, firepower
supported by dune-buggied commandos and an unknown starship.
Cantonment Navy spokesdroids state that the service is “vaguely
concerned” about the development and “will be monitoring any
grievous threats to colonial infrastructure”.
In other news on Fredonia, the Polar
Autonome Collective has issued a cryptic statement declaring that
they will make a “great leap forward” in its “dream-struggle to
topple the Planetary Work Machine” and “biopoesis our beautiful
proto-planet” in the next 48 hours. Experts are nonplussed.
The Cerny Vlk, the
subsector-famous Boloerium (a paraterraformed asteroid-vessel used
for intra-system travel) dedicated to preserving pre-uplift wolf
stock--and manned by a cooperative of self-styled “lycanthropes”--has
gone “dark” according to months-old reports from The Grange.
That wild and wooly system of micro-republics hunkered down on
trojan-point planetoids has produced a not-too surprisingly
conflicting range of hotly-contested salvage claims. Putting hard
credits where their vacc-suited comm-boxes are, the system's two
fiestiest polities, Cockyagne and Hayduke, are
reportedly both offering 500,000 CR bounties to a crack
“salvage and rescue team” for in-hand repossession of the
outbound ship.
Galacto-Boyar Vdelko XLIV,
renowned masochist and survivalist buff, is offering a “substantial
fee” for a hardened group of “toughs numbering no more than
six” to attempt to “hunt and kill” him in a three-day
period on his island preserve on Kanus Major. According to his
seneschal a bounty of 100,000 CR will be paid post-mortem from his
estate if he is killed before the end of the third day. “I can take
all you motherfuckers,” Vdelko added. \
Cantonment political pundits are
shaking their nay-heads at the “unnatural vigor” of the newest
addition to the Civil Service, the Trust for Planetary Procurement
and Progress (or more colloquially “The Trust” or “Three
P”). Some Overrada representatives have even begun to criticize
“the wild-eyed idealists” of the agency with “wanting to
explore and colonize worlds outside the Cantonment.” While Three P
administrators have denied the scandalous charge they have issued
“open contracts” that state a 120,000 CR finders fee will
be issued to any exploro-bolo teams returning with the coordinates of
“underpopulated, unmapped Terran-Prime or Terran-Norm systems
within 20 parsecs”.
