Dateline PeniiI 3198.375
Following recent sewer extension works in the major city of Brandywine
on the Earther Colony world of Penii III, a serious infestation
of some sort of predatory life form has halted work, and is causing
serious health concerns. Official Penii City Authorities spokesperson
said "Really, there's nothing to worry about - its just a few
wild bugs. We'll have the situation under control very soon
now. As far as we're concerned, it's just another bug-hunt"

Dateline Gryt Q7 3198.360
Dockyard workers brought the Naval Repair Yards to a standstill
in Gryt System. Outraged at massively increase working rota
and 'insensitive and criminally inefficient management' the Orbital
Worker's Collective was demanding increases in privileges and reduced
workload. The increasingly repressive Al-Fexit Regime responded
by branding the strike illegal, the strikers as traitors, and sent
in the Marines. 43 Strikers are reported killed and many hundreds
wounded or seriously injured. The Repair facility is reported
as 'only scratched' by officials - but independent sources say it
will by at least a month before it is back on line.
