IISS Plans Al Raqis Shuttle 'Wildlife Upgrade'
Raconteur Staff
GROUNDPORT, Al Raqis -- After protests that regular Highport shuttle flights continue to "slaughter wildlife", the IISS announced a total review and overhaul program for the aging shuttle fleet.
"Reduce Environmental and Wildlife Impact" is high in the list of program goals. "We remember Space Bat, and agree more should be done." says Allie Reiland, IISS.

Golf Developer Tramples Teen Vandals
Raconteur Staff
SOLEN'S DRIFT, Al Raqis - Arren Solen is pressing charges on three teens after they damaged a blade of grass on his 'golf course.' Solen explains, "My company has been working very hard to bring golf to Al Raqis. The tourism trade would greatly help the economy. I know pressing charges for damaging a single blade of grass sounds very petty, but after 4 years of work we only have 3 surviving blades, and these kids bending even one of them is a serious setback!"

Every Tuesday Night in Wadi Emet
WADI EMET, Al Raqis - Every Tuesday night starting at 6 pm, we will be holding a relaxa-night in the Seeq in Wadi Emet. Come roleplay with us as an alternate-personna Desert Born. Enjoy the dances of the DB, meet the Naib and the Reverend Mother, sneer at the offworlders, laugh at the Constable.
In the morning, you are your old self...mining spice, plotting to smuggle, thinking about a cold beer at the Water's End, knowing very little about the Desert Born.

OOC: Scout Sundays?
By Allen Kerensky
Al Raqis
You may have noticed a lack of "Scout Sunday" announcements over the past few weeks.
Scout Sundays have been postponed while Baroun Tardis has been fully consumed with new features and debugging on many new HTCS features and extensive core changes, due in the 1.06 release.
Kira/IISS news and HTCS classes will resume shortly, in support of the 1.06 launch.

Advisory: Flare Heads For Al Raqis
Al Raqis Raconteur
Magnetic field distortion blasted megatonnes of super-heated plasma from Lo Parabirra into space, which is forecast to hit Al Raqis in the next 20 hours.
The IISS Stellar Dynamics Observer watched as flares and filaments cast the coronal mass from Spot 1034 as a "solar tsunami" ripped across the star's northern hemisphere.
The planetary magnetic field is expected to deflect this plasma wave, but all vessels in transit and exo-atmospheric installations should prepare for an estimated C3-class event.

Marauders Attack Passenger Transport
SPLINTERED ROCK, Al Raqis - The quiet still of the SR landing pad area was shattered as a transport carrying missionaries was blasted out of the sky by hidden marauder Anti Aircraft guns; The only survivor of the horrible attack was the pilot, who seems to have taken a nasty head injury and lost his memory.
The marauders shortly issued this statement;
"We will smite the invaders from our skies. There will be more in the days to come. We are here. We will not be ignored. We will win. We are the Marauders. Expect us."

Commerce Raiders or Slavers?
Raconteur Staff
AL RAQIS PORT - Reports and rumors are swirling around the Highport and Groundport of unconfirmed sightings of commerce raiders or slaver ships operating somewhere in the outer asteroid belt.
All ships are cautioned to review their repel boarders protocols, service all security and defense equipment, and operated in convoy when possible to deter or avoid this possible threat.
The IISS Archimedes is enroute from patrol to do a full belt survey.

Two Customs Agents Killed
CNS news services
DEEP DESERT - While patrolling the Empty Quarter for smuggler bases, two customs agents were ambushed and killed.
According to telemetry uplinked from their flier, the agents were investigating a newly spotted shuttle and camp 135km west-northwest of Al Raqis.
The uplinked data should allow positive ID of the ship and several crew members caught outside as the flier came in. One of these apparently triggered a successful ground-to-air missile attack.
The telemetry have been sent to all nearspace authorities.
