Fablemi Out, Talut In – as Hyperial Chief Justice

UUNN Newswire

(Hypsos, Hyperial)  In a shocking turn of event, The Directorate has named Graham Talut to the post of Chief Justice, replacing the two-term incumbent Sandrich Fablemi effective 120.4.1.

“Prince” Fablemi was thought to be a heavy favorite to retain the position, but he has always been known for his erratic behavior and his claims to be from an ancient royal bloodline. Some believe this caused him to lose credibility and fall from favor with many members of The Directorate.  Fablemi’s rise to fame and power started as a jump-pilot known as “DT,” flying for Solrain — but he quickly became a personal agent for President Kelvin Rauder, who was responsible for his quick political rise.

The 69-year-old Talut served four terms as Governor of Hyperial Station from 95, until 111 when he retired and was replaced by Commander H.A. Nelson.

Serus Calls-Out Octavius on Prosthetics

UUNN Newswire

(UUNN HQ)  Dominic Serus, TRI Corporation’s Vice President of Defense and Security (TRI-DEF), today called out Octavius on its lax attitudes toward Prosthetics trade.  “We didn’t make up the rules here,” said Serus.  “Octavius, Quantar and Solrain all agreed to outlaw Prosthetics trade.  We patrol, we scan, we arrest … and Octavius just lets the stuff sit on its Market floor.”

“It’s bad enough we had an Emperor [Atticus Septus] who was using the stuff,” continued Serus who is Octavius by birth.  “If the factions are not all together on this, I think we need to re-evaluate our role.”

Prosthetics exports from Hyperial were outlawed by the Factions in 107.2 after testing indicated that they included organic tissue of questionable origin.
