VC series separatists claim responsibility for attacks

The VC series are a rebel band of Starbotians who wish to separate from the rule of the central authority. They have caused problems in the past with attacks on Starbotian ships and terrorist incidents but that may have escalated dramatically after they claimed responsibility for the 17 bombs which exploded yesterday on Starbot killing hundreds.

Two further bombs were found and defused today. The VC leader VC404 says that the attacks will continue until the VC series are free. Starbotian commander S101 had told the DDS that Starbot may not be able to help in the war against the Argon because of the serious situation at home.

• SFX is reported to have been buried on Saeou and not his native Terra or a world closer to the UNP centre. Windscorpion did not say why he picked this remote DDS outpost for his son's grave or even where exactly the grave is.
