I make these up as the game goes along. They contain info about happenings around the Trojan Reach. Often strife and conflicts, pirate sightings, and sometimes just random events. Sometimes, they are red herrings, most of the time they lead to adventures. If left alone, they resolve or escalate one way or another. Sample below;BORDERLAND NEWS FEED INCOMINGHot off the success of his holographic holiday album, Interstellar rock star Eddie Emerald Extragalactic plans to release a political protest album. Reports suggest that 3E plans to highlight the struggles acorss the Trojan Reach that are repeatedly ignored by the Imperium, Hierate, and Megacorporations. Songs for unsung heroes such as those in the Dustbelt fighting against the Tyrants of Tyr, terrorized citizens of the Raiders of Oghma, and numerous others hotbed issues. Check back for a release date soon.Labor disputes continue in the Acrid system. The citizens accuse megacorp PRQ of bad faith negotiating contracts for working conditions and citizenship. PRQ reps did not respond immediately, but did eventually provide a press release. In said release, "PRQ continues to value the working conditions and citizenship of all those under contracts. The Acrid system present unique challenges that are costly and drive down profit margins. Trying to find a blance between making Acrid a successful economy, and a great place to live for its citizens, is a top prioirty for PRQ"Rumors indicate that separtist group "The People's League" has been actively broadcasting out of the Arunisiir system. Broadcasts indicate unrest among the population and vote of no confidence in the current leadership regime. The Aslan Leadership clan reports that. "this is a minor faction of disgruntled citizens and that Arunisiir remains a perfect melting pot of Sophont and Aslan colonization. The system and prime planet are safe and open for trade business"  ADVISORY WATCH LISTShip captains are advised to be on the look out for a 100 ton trader accompanied by  a 400 ton salvage boat for acts of priacy in Pandora and Lilgan systems. Trade ship victims report that the ships blanked their transponders right before attack. Pirates were stern, but not violent once terms were agreed upon for surrender of cargo. Ship captains are advised to observe and report and not engage without an armed escort present.   </blockquote>
