The HCS are reporting they have seized the centre of Kontai's capital and have occupied the parliament building, Presidential palace and state broadcasting centre. The Kontai government are reported to have fled the capital beforehand and are holed up at a secret army installation.
500 Meganite troops have landed on the planet and will take charge of the capital occupation, the HCS are keen to use their ethnic-Eritran allies to help prevent an attack by other Eritrans. The HCS say the Kontai army has largely given up the fight though some pockets of resistance remain.
The battle is still raging on Unatel Gamma 540 but the HCS are also now closing in on the capital there too.
