The VPR Guild welcomes "aliasd" (UIT 10/10/10/10/6) as a new pilot. He brings excellent fighting capabilities and a level headed yet firm approach to the guild and represents therefore a good addition to our ranks. His 113 PKs prove him to be a firm aim and a good trigger, always helping those in need. Traders please feel free to contact "aliasd" for assistance and to share information about current pirate activity.

-Subject: SMV Nemesis Crippled By <ITAN> Strikeforce.
-Oragnization responsible for Post: ITAN
-Factions should see post: ALL
-Relevant Dates/Times: Immediately
- Text -
After a decisive win in the recent Border Battle, over a dozen ITAN craft were seen jumping into Geira Reticulus, Crippling the SMV Nemesis in it's own space, and following it's burning trail all the way to Sol II. The station defenses in Sol II finally managed to slow the ITAN strikes down, but only after the Nemesis was left completely defenseless and smoldering.
Comprehensive damage assements and casualty lists to follow when more is known.
*for guide* unsure of the date as written by others but the date this was posted was the 2nd of march 08 realtime if you can add that to the subject line.

Could Corvus be losing money? After a recent report by [ITAN]'s
Mortonie, we found out that Corvus is losing money following sufficent robberies by pirates "kalb" and "Calico Jack Rackham".
[VPR]'s Strat went to investigate.
We found out that Corvus has lost more than 200 million in credits, due to an assault by the Syndicate and the Cargo Liberation Movement groups.
Anyone who has banked money in the Corvus Bank (Odia M-14) will recieve their money once Corvus gets the lost funds back.

Hmm. This does not appear to be an item that would normally be published in the Station News, but you could drop me a note using the vendetta_news (see 1st post) address if there's a strong link to an RP event.
I'd also want a post from any pilot named.

It's good now. Thanks for letting me know.
