LOST WORLD

Last week saw a rare moment of planetary joy and exultation in the Vulpes system as it was finally reconnected to the rest of the empire, after an accident caused its wormhole to collapse almost 50 years ago. Devoid of the necessary guidance and direction from the central Imperial Government, the planet had slipped into civil disorder in the following years, with various warlords waging a ruthless campaign for dominance across the once-prosperous world, causing endless suffering for the planet's civilan population. Imperial Marines were greeted by welcoming crowds as troops from XI and XXVI(Steelcaps) divisions quickly restored order, allowing for humanitarian supplies to be distributed across the war-torn planet. However, terrorist groups acting for one warlord faction managed to destroy the city formerly containing the Planetary Administrative Center, using an Antimatter device. NOTE: Earlier reports of this device being delivered from orbit by one of the Imperial Fleet vessels are now being confirmed as FALSE. The orbital activity of said vessel consisted in almost immediately raising a containment field around the city in order to prevent lethal radiation to escape into the surrounding region. In fact, none of the vessels were carrying antimatter grade weaponry, as this is not a standard payload for humanitarian missions such as this. A representative for the Interstellar government has confirmed that the Vulpes system is now under martial law, and civilian travel is restricted until such a time the authorities are certain that they have unearthed all antimatter grade weapons stored by the planetary warlords. Still, for the Civilian Population of the Vulpes system, today is a day of celebration as they move towards a safe and prosperous future in the Interstellar Empire.
