Scrapyard System - Forces of the Kuvexian Interstellar Navy have launched a renewed attack on the Scrapyard Star System, bringing a large fleet of over 4,000 golden-hulled starships. Scrapyard, formerly known as UX-12, was one of the UX Series Star Systems charted by Ketsurui Uesu during his departure from Central Yamatai in YE 30. It is a strategic location on the outer rim of the Ketsurui Military Sector and is best known for Sakura Fleet Depot, a boneyard of hundreds of thousands of older Star Army of Yamatai ships that have been decommissioned. While the ships are not operational, it is possible that the ships could be repaired by the Star Army or by the Kuvexian Navy, making them a strategic asset. The Scrapyard System is defended...

Kyoto, Yamatai - Star Army officials announced today that an Orbital Geological Survey Platform in orbit around a moon in the HX-5 star system had self-destructed today due to activation of its anti-tampering defense system. The Orbital Geological Scanning Platform's Geological Scanning Suite is capable of active scans up to eight thousand meters beneath a planet's surface. It uses a combination of electromagnetic, spectrometer and gravimetric scans to actively search for up to 130,000 natural phenomena and an extensive array of geothermal and chemical events. Its self-destruct system involves the release of anti-matter. It is unclear who was attempting to tamper with or board the OGSP, but SAINT says it is likely related to recent...

Kyoto, Yamatai -- Moon-day morning, Star Army announced it had lost contact with its small outpost on planet Ether, and that A SAINT scout dispatched to investigate found signs of a violent, sudden raid and a frantic effort to defend the base.

The tiny base set up by the YSS Eucharis during that time had remained on the planet to keep a flag on the icy world, and was manned by just two soldiers: Jôtô Heisho Tokuhichi Erika, a soldier who the YSS Eucharis had rescued from the Mishhuvurthyar in the Sbuhfaba star system, and Itto Hei...
