ISN Reporting...
The newly discovered system of Alderbordon continues to be rife with conflict and just as the ISA have reported the liberation of Alderbordon II from what seems to be a horrifying return of the Shadows - we have received reports of a Centauri blockade of the central tradelane to the system.
President Sheridan of the ISA immediately denounced the move by the Republic, addressing an assembly of ISA delegates with a 3 hour speech calling for the Centauri 'stranglehold' on trade to be 'stopped at all costs'.
A Centauri spokesman had this to comment:
"President who? The movements of the fleets of the Centauri Republic are subject only to the approval of the Emperor! This system that you humans have inexplicably called 'Alderbordon' is a protectorate of the Republic and as such subject to taxation by recognised appointees of the Emperor...this accusation of unlawful raiding is preposterous and an insult to the Republic - should the ISA wish to test the resolve of the Centauri fleet in this matter, then they will find us more than willing to oblige them"

In other news, an Earth Alliance scientific survey team has been investigating the Avgardian Asteroid Belt as part of a routine information gathering exercise. Analysts have pointed out that the route of the survey team is very close to ISA claimed territory, the leader of the expedition, Lt Takashima had this to comment.
"We have the best navigators in the fleet and besides...Earth Gov and the ISA have always been on friendly terms - I'm sure if we deviate a little from our flight plan, a friendly ISA ship will be on hand to guide us back on course"
We invited an ISA spokesperson to come on the broadcast to comment on Lt Takashima's statement, but the declined commenting only that;
"We have repeatedly asked the Earth Alliance to consider carefully the safety precautions taken by the expedition. There are dangerous magnetic fields in the Avgardian Belt and several ships have been lost there as a result - we would strongly advise against such a voyage at this time."
-----------------------------------------------------------
And finally, in a dramatic turn of events, the Narn Ambassador denounced the entire Centauri Republic for conspiring against the members of the ISA, manipulating the Earth Alliance into supporting a 'malicious' and 'conniving' 'evil project', vowing that the Kahri would not stand idly by and would take corrective action...although it is not clear what this action will be.
This just in...there are reports of a Narn Battlefleet approaching the Earth Colony of Alderbordon V - we go live to our correspondent on board the 'EAS Easy Target'
"Thank you Julie, what you're seeing is a feed from the ship's visual sensors - the Narn Fleet opened a Jump Point a few moments ago and have not yet responded to our hails, we have no reason to suppose they are hostile however and *BOOM*
