Deadline passes as Sea Urchin issues final warning

New Sparta gave the 1st of September as a deadline for the Starbotians to stop construction of the Argon orbital base. That has now passed and a New Sparta media briefing held on Liberation today presented evidence from long-range sensors that work continues on the base.

President Sea Urchin issued a final warning to Starbot, stop the base now or New Sparta will do so.

The President was asked about the hundreds of UNP citizens now known to be held in orbital habitats at the base, conditions being barely habitable. It is rumoured that many have died and the Starbotians are not even removing the corpses. Sea Urchin said the crimes of the K-2 regime were known to the galaxy and had repulsed everyone. He noted that Oojok had joined the chorus calling on K-2 to stop his use of civilians as shields. He said it was a factor in the planning but would not halt any action.

S101 calls for K-2 to be overthrown

Former Starbotian Commander S101 has called on the current leader K-2 to be overthrown. He said that K-2's actions had bought shame and disgrace on Starbot and could not be tolerated. It is not known where S101 is, it is thought he boarded a Dinomark on Dino-Land earlier in the week but it is not known where he is going. However closer to Starbot is likely.

Ronald has given his full support to S101's comments. Emperor MBH has stayed silent on the whole affair so far, it is thought he is content to let Ronald lead on this because of his status in Starbotian history (he was the first Dino to meet the Starbotians during first contact between the two nations).

In a further development notable critics of K-2 including B-B, Oil Stop Boss and K-1 have been arrested by members of K-2's fascist K-Series faction.
