It has almost come to the point of becoming a problem even. So civilian contracts with government funded security teams, as well as engineering teams from the Department of Engineering, have set out with intents of setting up additional population centers. This initiative was started at the late end of YE41, at the tail end of the year, and has produced pleasant results in progress in the past months.

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. During the Second Mishhuvurthyar War, Star Army Forces and the YSS Eucharis fought against NMX Nekovalkyrja and other enemy units in the icy, frozen wastes of Ether and conducted raids on NMX Bases there. 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...

Kyoto, Yamatai -- The Yamatai Star Empire's department of foreign affairs held a press conference today to announce that it received a message from the local government of UX-3 III. Previously claimed by Yamatai in YE 35, the UX-3 star system was lost in the Kuvexian Invasion of YE 41. Rather than annex the system as part of the Interstellar Kingdom of Kuvexia, the Kuvexian military has reportedly allowed the Kuvexian Corporations to claim the star system as a neutral territory and set up a colony called Sood Zadra on the surface of the third planet. In order to demonstrate its neutrality, the system has said that any civilian ships will be allowed to visit the system and trade freely there, including those from Yamatai and Nepleslia...
