Failed Bolitic coup sees shipbuilding disrupted

This month's Other Fleet News did not include any new ships for the Bolitic Confederacy, basically because no new ships were reported. Now news is coming in of a failed military coup on Castarian. These are nothing new, on average there are about 7 attempted coups a year in the Bolitic Confederacy (the last Emperor to die of natural causes was hundreds of years ago after all).

The coup led by a Baron Qiladreki was an utter failure after 3 other Barons failed to back him. Qiladreki and his remaining supporters fled to the main shipyard on Castarian where they were holed up for 6 days. Frequent gunfights and military operations saw shipbuilding halted and its only now getting back underway. Qiladreki and his supporters were eventually wiped out by Melson's Chosen Men.
