Last night a series of explosions ripped through Vehicle Assembly Building № 3 of the General Shipyards facility on Pixie. Both company and military investigators on the scene report that the damage was almost certainly the work of saboteurs.
General Shipyard's Vehicle Assembly Building № 3 housed the main assembly line for the production of L-Hyd drop tanks. The L-Hyd drop tank project, undertaken in conjunction with the Tukera Line (of Vland/Vland), is expected to open up the Regina subsector to high capacity commercial access from the interior. A spokesperson for the company reported that the explosions probably set the project back by at least three months.
Imperial Navy Commander Lobeck hault-Donosev, the naval system liaison officer on the L-Hyd project, high General Shipyards press secretary Harcord Haveln discounted any political motives for the sabotage. "There are commercial concerns in the subsector", he said, "who place their own self-interest above that of the population as a whole." When pressed to explain, he refused to elaborate. The naval liaison officer to the L-Hyd project, announced that Naval Counter-Intelligence was exploring the possibility that the sabotage was the work of Ine Givar terrorists. Ine Givar activity in the Regina subsector has thus far been limited to scattered and ineffective strikes on Efate and Feri, but that this incident "definitely bore their signature," he explained.
The public affairs officer of the Pixie office for Naval Counter-Intelligence refused an interview later in the day, but issued a press release disavowing any responsibility for the remarks of Commander hault-Donosev and stating that the NCI had no evidence whatsoever of Ine Givar activity on Efate, Feri, or Forboldn.

The joint investigative commission released the findings of its investigation into the mysterious series of explosions that ripped through General Shipyards' Vehicle Assembly Building № 3 three months ago today. The two page report concluded, contrary to initial statements, that there was no evidence of sabotage and that the explosion appeared to be due to equipment failure resulting in simultaneous discharge of liquid hydrogen and oxygen, which was detonated by sparks from a short circuit in a flux welding unit which had been inadvertently left on at the end of the evening work shift.
Public attention had been riveted on the investigation since it was revealed that the explosions had seriously set back the production of L-hyd drop tanks, equipment necessary to the opening of the high-capacity commercial service between Regina subsector and the Interior.
An initial public statement by Naval Commander Lobeck hault-Donosev, the former project-liaison officer, had suggested Ine Givar terrorist involvement in the incident, and had mentioned Ine Givar activity on both Efate (Regina 0105) and Feri (Regina 0405). A subsequent Naval Counter-Intelligence press release denied any Ine Givar activity on Efate, Feri, or Forboldn (Regina 0208).
When the Naval Counter-Intelligence representative on the joint commission, Lieutenant Artura Gramlyn, was questioned about the inclusion of the planet Forboldn in the denial statement, he replied "Well, there isn't any Ine Givar activity on Forboldn. There isn't any Ine Givar anywhere in the Subsector. We are familiar with all Ine Givar activity, and there isn't any."

The Traveller's Aid Society regrets to announce the indefinite closing of its class A facility on Efate (Regina 0105-A646930-D) and the posting of that world as an amber travel zone. Gutted during a recent firefight in the administrative capital, there are no immediate plans to repair the facility until civil order has been restored on Efate.
In the event that travel to Efate is necessary, a society travel agent remains on duty and can be reached through the offices of the Oberlindes lines at Down-Franklin Starport. Travellers are advised however, to avoid travel to this world if at all possible.

Lanth Lions take title! the Lanth Lions team defeated the Regina Royals last night in the title game. The final score was 7-6. With the game won in the final seconds in a play that seems to have ended the career of the well know Grav Baller Simon “The Pieman” Baker. His fate, and the question of who will replace him as center on the Royals is unknown at this time. Common sentiment is that the Royals just fell apart in the last period.

Regina is Hamilton's homeward.
His dad was a professor of something at the University of Regina. Hamilton met Simon several times. Simon is probably 15 years older than Hamilton. He probably followed some of his stats as a kid.
Even more troubling are the events back home in the Regina subsector. Hamilton finally sends a letter home.
Hello all! It is your son, Hamilton. I’m having a GREAT time out here! Lots of new stuff to learn
and crazy adventures. I got Shot! TWICE! I’m ok so don’t worry.
I AM worried about you all though. I’ve been reading in the ‘paper’
what’s been happening back home and at Pixie. I hope no one we know was hurt
or anything.
Read about Simon and his injury. Tell him I’m sorry and if he needs a job I’ll put in
word for him Here. Sorry I haven’t written in a while. Things have been busy and
stressful.
I don’t think I should go into details Here but next time I get home I’ll catch you all
up
My Love to everyone and Take care of yourselves.
Dad, Thanks for everything you did for me. I am Really doing well out here. It’s
amazing stuff
I’m learning and I hope to be a pilot soon. Maybe have my own ship!
Anyway, Thank you. I don’t want to think about where i’d be if you haven’t helped
me.
Love
Hamilton
