Fujiko IV, Shenhong City
In a major victory against organized crime, the Fujiko Rangers, a newly established law enforcement unit under the Fujiko Development Corporation (FDC), announced the capture of three high-profile fugitives on Tuesday. The operation, which spanned six weeks and involved close collaboration with Yamatai National Police, targeted Harlan “Ashfall” Veldt, Isamu Nakano, and Sofia Verone—all of whom were on the region’s 10 Most Wanted list. The successful raids, conducted simultaneously in Red Sands City and Shenhong City’s Zhuhai district, have bolstered the Rangers’ local reputation as a cornerstone of regional security.
The fugitives, known for their sophisticated criminal networks and experience, had long evaded capture. Veldt, a gang leader infamous for targeting resource convoys, was apprehended in an underground bunker while planning to expand into arms smuggling. Nakano, a former cybernetics engineer turned black-market implant dealer, was arrested in Shenhong City, disrupting the illegal cybernetics trade. Verone, a former starship captain turned pirate, was captured also captured in Shenhong City after her smuggling ring was dismantled.
“This marks a significant step forward in securing the Fujiko Region,” said Chief Specialist Anton Ryker, who led the operation. “The capture of these individuals sends a clear message: no one is beyond the reach of justice.”
Capitalizing on the Rangers’ success, the Fujiko Gendarmerie Corps (FGC) has launched a region-wide recruitment campaign to strengthen its ranks and prevent future criminal enterprises. As the primary law enforcement and emergency response agency in the region, the FGC aims to inspire public confidence and attract new talent to address ongoing threats, including organized crime and the lingering disruptions posed by Kuvexian remnants in the neighboring Kimithro system. The FGC is enticing recruits with competitive benefits and an opportunity for action. Benefits include advanced training in tactical operations and emergency response, Silver-tier FDC membership with better access to healthcare and infrastructure, and clear pathways for career advancement.
“We’re building a future where law and order go hand in hand with progress,” said Chief Inspector Aria Leclerc. “Joining the Gendarmerie is more than a career—it’s a commitment to protecting our people and shaping the Fujiko Region’s destiny.”
The public has responded positively to the Rangers’ success and the Gendarmerie’s recruitment efforts. “The Rangers did an amazing job taking down those criminals,” said Lena Tormek, a ramen cafe owner on Port Orchid. “But it’s reassuring to know the Gendarmerie is expanding too. The Fujiko Region needs all the help it can get to keep people safe, especially with the chaotic nature of these Reds.”
The dual narratives of justice and progress—embodied by the Rangers’ decisive operation and the Gendarmerie’s call to action—highlight the FDC’s commitment to securing a brighter, safer future for the Fujiko Region and beyond. As the region continues to grapple with complex challenges, the combined efforts of its law enforcement agencies offer a renewed sense of hope and stability for its citizens.
