Purge launched of Von Kane associates

Three senior NS officers, including the head of NS forces on Saeou have been removed from their roles though one has been told they will be reassigned. All are former associates of the traitor Von Kane and it is thought during the interrogation of Colonel Vogel concerns were raised about other associates of Von Kane.

Head of Internal Security Stella has told colleagues that all of Von Kane's associates must be investigated and if necessary removed from sensitive roles. Some could be sacked from NS entirely.

The main pirate fleet has been tracked to the Hudson nebula near Barnard's Star and engaged by an NS fleet commanded by Windscorpion. The pirate fleet was destroyed in the encounter, its not known if the pirate fleet commander Akorian was among the losses. Windy said he was not among any prisoners or dead however some ships were vapourised.

Two NS ships were destroyed in the battle, which the pirates used TPMs in. The Indy 035-205 Implacable and the Solaris 037-103 Castor were the ships lost adding to the Freedom 041-206 Fury lost in an earlier battle.

Pirate forces still exist, the hunt and Operation Klondike continues.

Von Kane captured by Windy!

Windy's private security company iP Services has announced that Windy has captured the traitor Von Kane and he is now being taken to a secret iP Services facility in a cage. Windy said that Von Kane will be a prisoner of iP Services not New Sparta.

A senior officer stationed at an NS facility on Loeuss has also been arrested. It is thought this is Colonel Vogel who was an ally of Von Kane and was still sending the traitor information. Vogel has been handed over to NS and is thought will be dealt with fairly leniently in return for assistance in capturing Von Kane.
