Svodog System - Ongoing skirmishes and power disputes continue this week in the southern territories Svodog system between mercenaries loyal to the senate-appointed governor and local defense forces loyal to the systems' culturally elected representative over the Stenkagorad settlement this week.
Returning viewers will note the ongoing political turmoil in the system has increased dramatically since the appointment of its system government in early YE-42. A move that was seen by the local settlement; Predominantly made up of kuznyetski settlers and pilgrims settled years prior in YE-39, As a blatant power grab as their own elected officials were officially driven from office from the newcomer who many locals of the stenkagorad system described as "Another corrupt shark" and claiming the governor-elect sought to own their resources and inflate taxes as a means to grow his own personal wealth; Citing challenging remarks and events the NNN is currently unable to source without interference from either side of the conflict.
Tensions in the conflict are currently boiling over in the form of skirmishes between local resident and militia forces against government mercenaries as footage yet unconfirmed in its validity has surfaced on the InterNep this morning of what appears to be contracted mercenaries loyal to the system governor; Having boarded a kuznyetski pilgrim ship bound for the stenkagorad settlement and recorded via cybernetic implant, seemingly robbing pilgrims of valuables (claimed in official reports as illegal contraband) such as personal effects, jewelry, currencies both KS and DA, and privately owned weapons which many familiar with the kuznyetski culture will recall are often manufactured by hand by each individual and are often extremely important to the individual.

No further comment has been reached from the system government on the follow-up questions of why no aid was rendered or why the incident was not reported to the Star Navy presence in the system stationed to discourage these very incidents from occurring. The NPF is currently investigating the incident but has since brought no charges.
