Miscellaneous Occurences
Battle on the Spinward Front
-Ongoing conflict occurs against the arch enemy. Reports always claim decisive victory of the Asterion Guard.
-[Aug 14 2024] Celebrations of a great victory on the front has been reported, with no Imperial Navy ships lost and a great number of enemy Tau forces destroyed and routed. Admiral Trakkyr proclaims this as a victory for all of Asterion. The Imperial Navy group has returned and is Port Lysander. This is taking up a great deal of docking space, prompting the Penance Guild to charge higher prices for space at the Port. This has caused grumblings, and the DeWonti Trade Consortium believes they are being targeted with particularly exorbitant rates.
-[Oct 23 2024] House Nimea has been publicizing/promoting the news that the Immortals 99th Armored Division, the 798th Kallastin Lancers, and the 32nd Jotungarth Grimfangs, all under the command of newly appointed Lord General Eton Rothay Nimea have deployed to the Aolean system to invade Aolean II. One of Rear Admiral von Trakkyr's Battlegroups is preparing to support them.
-[Jan 29 2025] The increased presence and activity of the Imperial Navy forces on Port Lysander, likely resulting from the election of Archmagos Dominus Voltaire 19-A, has caused friction between the military and merchant factions aboard the station; mediation may be necessary. In addition, House Nimea has been meeting frequently with the Archmagos, and are attempting to earn favor through an array of gifts.
-[3/12/25] To support the war effort, House Nimea informed us they would need to reduce amount of Asterion Tonic provided to KG-Co for our trade arrangements; though they offered to pay compensation for the breach of contract, we declined the offer, to prevent any perception of our faction as not supporting the war effort.
Astra Telepathica Movements
-Agents of the organization have been observed in Spire Yarrick, seemingly to establish a stronger presence on the planet's surface.
-Upon advertising the availability of Section 3 of Bluehull-92, we were contacted by representatives of the Astra Telepathica seeking to rent the real estate, offering a large amount of profit. Due to the possible detection of Controller Havelock, we declined the offer, siting the known tensions between Preacher Doran and Witch-Breaker as cause for concern, given our protection of refugee Regulars.
-Commissioner Comata has requested intelligence on the movements of the Astra Telepathica, as she is apparently keeping an eye on the situation herself.
House Traquiel Conflicts
Espionage
-Mehvon Traquiel organized an attempt to steal the formula for Asterion Tonic from the Magos Biologis
-What they managed to acquire was records of the operations of the device that composes the tonic based on the inputs of chemicals; this could be useful in reverse engineering the formula
-Unfortunately, the team was discovered, some were killed, and the implications of House Traquiel's involvement are quite clear.
Personnel
-Barracks supplies appear to have been tampered with; tainted food was caught, but the situation has caused lower morale among the troops.
-Kelle has concocted a plan to later send the men on a low(ish) risk but high profile mission that can be celebrated with a feast.
