    Planetary news:

    Tensions between the UPDF and the scavenger tribes continue. The most recent violence after the crash of a comstar cargo ship between the UPDF and multiple scavenger tribes have seen increased labor tensions, work stoppages, supply line sabotage, and even fights in local bars and work stations. Coupled with increased distrust by the gmar and the UPA, supply shortages have begun within city of Relic and HyperGee as well as aligned settlements.

    Recently ComStar have taken to remaining behind their gates in HyperGee, after their ship crashed in a nearby gmar community.

    Recent behind closed doors talks between the Scavengers Guild, and the UPA have stirred up controversy as much as hope for alleviation of tensions. A ComStar representative has informed us that these talks include all parties involved, but hardline scavenger tribes claim they have never been invited.

    I’m a stunning upset Moses Bieler has beaten the previous UPA Boxing Association’s grand champion in an exhibition fight. Moses comes from a small gmar farming community and while he has won many contests in the gmar summer and winter fairs, no one remotely expected him to be able to beat Grand Champion Stephan Rohn.

    Urilon News Networks very own Annika Petrov has gone missing. Last seen heading out of Relic, to meet a confidential source, she never returned home. Her work mates, parents, friends are all very concerned for her safety. Annika was known as a tireless investigative journalist who sought to always uncover the truth, no matter how unsettling. We here at UNN pray for her safe return.
