News Agencies on Soter today report today that first contact with alien species.

Also today several hundred people arrested for treason, trials on public channels at eleven.

Scientists announce they are beginning to make strides in the fields of fusion, progress expected within a week.

Reports of progress on Soter's naval program as new training procedures go into effect to make training harder.

A force of mutants attempted to force their way into the capital today, their efforts were halted by a Ranger suppression squad that killed them before they could even get close.

A squad of fighters flew over the city today in preparation for upcoming war drills over the scorched Soter desert.

And that is the news today for the Republic of Soter, signing off.

Hello and welcome to the Interstellar Soter News Network, your place for a fair and balanced view of the Soter Republic, I'm your news anchor Ronald Ipcon, giving you the most accurate portrayal of everything going on in this neck of the universe.

Reporters from Soter today report that the newest colonization effort has taken place. The new colonists and military personnel laying the groundwork have named the planet Novus Spera, hopefully good news will keep coming in.

In other news, scientists have finally completed work on a new type of energy, nuclear fusion. With casualties being only several fully irradiated personnel and some rather large explosions, the scientists seem to have gotten the hang of it. An interview with the chief scientist Albert Cornello went as follows

Quote :

What?! We haven't perfected it we've barely gotten fusion down enough to put it in ships and power stations, are you some kind of fuc-

Unfortunately the tape cuts out there, sources say all ships are being recalled to be refitted with this new power source, the scientists suspect this should take another week to get everything up to speed, and within two days, the Pride of Soter should be ready to go with this technology. This will undoubtedly make our ships faster, stronger and more resilient to attack.

New Destroyers have joined the fleet in droves. Their numbers are beginning to bolster the cruisers and capital ships already spreading pride throughout the fleet.

Other new ships join the line as the first new battle cruiser makes it's debut. The first in a hopefully long line of Punisher class battle cruisers has joined the fleets.

In honor of these good tidings, the President of Soter has given a speech commemorating our navies and soldiers.

In other news, Soter mourns today as the twentieth president of Soter has died today, Adam Kattel, president, war hero and scholar, passed away peacefully, he will be remembered for his brokering of peace between the lunar colony and the planet Soter seventy five years ago.

I now turn to Tammy for the weather

Quote :

If you're on Novus Spera today, temperatures will be a bit extreme interrupted by gravitational anomalies from the huge amount of ships orbiting, clearly displaying the might of our new navy. On Soter you'll find radiation spikes in near the main city. Fortress City Two has acid rain and Fortress City East is experiencing severe heatwaves with their weather stations offline.

Thank you Tammy,
And that is the news today for the Republic of Soter, this is Ronald Ipcon reminding you all to have a pleasant tomorrow.

Several reports today show great signs of life in the Great Iron Yard, the biggest military testing ground in the Azraelic Republic based on New Lunastia, as the military develops new crafts to defend the populace should combat arrive on a planet's surface. Though they would not state the exact specifics of the crafts, they did however provide some images which we have taken in and examined to gain all the details possible.

Hello and welcome to the Interstellar Soter News Network, your place for a fair and balanced view of the Soter Republic, I'm your news anchor Ronald Ipcon, giving you the most accurate portrayal of everything going on in this neck of the universe.

Today Soter residents rejoice as all the ships in the navy have finally been equipped with nuclear fusion. It has been a slow process, but our navy crews can take solace in the fact that their ships have more power.

In other news, massive political shifts in the galaxy have caused the Soter military forces to be on high alert. Accompanying this high level of alert, is the first Liberator class Carrier. Its a good feeling knowing these carriers will soon be over our heads protecting us.

In other news, a riot broke out at a football game today in East Fortress City. Rangers were called in to quell the violence, but unfortunately there were ten dead and scores more injured.

Shifting now to the moon colony, where reports claim an uprising occurred. On the scene, is reporter Sabrina Ang.

Thank you Ron... Apparently today several men wearing tin foil hats armed with heavy assault rifles and rocket launchers marched on city hall. Their deadly rampage was over before it began because of a group of kids playing music. Allegedly one of the tin foil wearing men began screaming claiming to hear voices in his head, then proceeded to gun down the rest of the insurrectionists before tripping and breaking his neck. No other injuries were reported, back to you Ron.

Its a good thing nobody was hurt. Well that is the news today for the Republic of Soter, this is Ronald Ipcon reminding you all to have a pleasant tomorrow.
