The Nepleslian news started, flashing lights, heavy metal. It cut quickly to the blonde newscaster so familiar to most Nepleslians. "Earlier today, word came into our offices of a Yamataian military action on the world of Halna. Although details on the cause of the operation are currently hazy, Star Army forces, without a doubt, murdered at least several hundred thousand Freespacer civilians in the operation, as well as many more non-'Spacers in at least one orbital bombardment on a population center."
The usual video screen hanging next to the anchor's head appeared, replaying some footage from the video transmission from the Freespacers on Halna that was widely broadcast throughout known space already.
"Although word from the DIoN government on the attack has not come in, the Empress of the Yamataian empire has expressed her endorsement of the assault. The news has worsened riots throughout the Imperium, still raging from the truth of the Nepleslian genocide and the SAINT attack on Nepleslia Prime. The news is very alarming to many Nepleslian citizens, who fear that Yamatai may target Nepleslia once more, as they have several times in the past months, such as the SAINT attack and the 1st Standard Fleet's blockade of the Nepleslia system."
