Hyperial Repurposes Unused Factory

UUNN Newswire

The following statement was released today from Dr. Viggio Ragne, Hyperial Special Representative for the Office of the President:

Today we have unveiled our latest project to help boost economic production across all of the systems.  We have repurposed the unused AntiFlux factory, which will now be manufacturing CPUs — completing our plan to bring both CPU and RAM production to Hyperial, and increasing the economic options for everyone.

The Hyperial Antiflux factory was opened with great fanfare three years ago, but was largely unused because of the difficulty in obtaining the rare components needed for production. Economists expect profiteers to jack up prices for the already-expensive Antiflux now re-sold exclusively on pilot-owned stations

Hyperial Furious over Faction Missions

UUNN Newswire

(UUNN HQ)  Quantar launched a new Mining Faction Mssion yesterday, calling on pilots to mine Precious Metals to help boost supplies of Vanadium and Palladium.  Hyperial, however, is viewing this as a direct attack on their mission.

“Our mission has languished for months while missions for TRI Corporation — and now Quantar  — get all of the the attention,” said Dr. Viggio Ragne, Special Representative for the Office of the President.  “This is a clearly planned disruption . . . an attack on the welfare of Hyperial!  There will be repercussions.”

The Hyperial mission, which was initiated on 123.2.2 calls for Conmats, Fiber-optics and Fuel Cells.  While the end-dates of FMs has not typically been captured, many believe this is the longest-running mission by a wide margin and it has sat unchanged at 73.68% completion for several weeks.

Hyperial Unveils New Food Production Facility

UUNN Newswire

(Hyperial Station) Hyperial revealed today that its recent Faction Mission succeeded in the completion of a next-gen food manufacturing facility.  “There is no need for hunger any more,” announced Dr. Viggio Ragne, Special Representative for the Office of the President.  “Our manufacturing facility is completely scalable and will be able to meet even the highest of demands.  And all of the raw materials needed will be available right here.”

“Our Bioscience Engineers have developed the advanced cloning and hydroponics technologies necessary for this manufacturing wonder.  We invite all to make great use of it.”

It is unclear at this point how the Hyperial manufacturing facility differs from the one on Wake Station, which has been in operation for decades.

Disputed Structure Destroyed

UUNN Newswire

(UUNN HQ)  The long-disputed Phosphorous Nanoproducer in Hyperial Station sector was destroyed in the early hours today.  The structure which was built approximately fifteen years ago, became a center of controversy in 117.6 when Quantar claimed it had received evidence that the building also housed a secret Hyperial GenMod (genetic modificiations) test facility.  The building was severely damaged on 117.7 in a coordinated attack by pilots Ambrosius, Crackhead, Eismann, Hammer-BS, Nereid and Roidrider. 

The building remained in that state until 119.2.28 when when several explosions almost destroyed it — which some believed was Quantar retribution for pilot GrimGriz destroying a damaged Duelist factory in Omni IV on the birthday anniversary of former Hyperial President, the late Dr Kelvin Rauder.

Hyperial Rewards Pilots

(Hyperial Station)  Hyperial today recognized the efforts of several pilots who worked to repair the damaged building in Hyperial Station sector.  Dr. Viggio Ragne, Hyperial Special Representative for the Office of the President, released the following statement:

“We are elated to be able to recognize four pilots who put aside their daily duties to repair the Phosphorous Nanoproducer that had been attacked by Quantar two years ago, and which had experienced 3 suspicious explosions over the last few days.  We are awarding the Hyperial Duty Ribbon, 20 PR units and 100,000 credits each to pilots GrimGriz, Imorg, Me.1 and Orka.  Orka had initially performed repairs on the structure, while GrimGriz, Imorg and Me.1 brought the building back from the brink of collapse after subsequent explosions nearly destroyed it.

“And I must make special mention of Imorg, a Quantar, who risked censure by his own faction and clearly demonstrated that not all Quantar are deceitful and evil.”

(Quantar Core Station)  On a day when Hyperial was honoring its former President, Dr. Kelvin Rauder, pilot GrimGriz went into Quantar space with pirate tags . . . destroyed the already-damaged Duelist factory in Omni IV  . . . and then publicly made the following, somewhat cryptic, statement:

Many years ago, GrimGriz led the Dead Space Armada, one of Solrain’s premier factionalist squads.  But since then his checkered history has seen him flying Quantar colors with both The Brotherhood and AQM, and now — apparently — supporting Hyperial in a one-person squad named “Lost s0ns of H.”  

Hyperial and Martius Announce Joint Efforts

UUNN Newswire

(Hyperial Station) Hyperial Special Representative Dr. Viggio Ragne and Cicero Rnenta, Consul for Martius, met today to finalize an agreement.  They released the following statement:

Today we take a step which will be long-remembered.  Emperor Atticus Septus and President Drago Maximilian have reached out across the Void to form a partnership.  Despite our different histories . . . our different traditions . . . our different politics, they have found enough common ground to build an important partnership that, we hope, will bring just a little bit of unity in our badly-fractured corner of space.

There were no details provided about the pact other than the fact that it would include shared research and resources, and that its impact would be felt within days.

 

Fluxers Move to Hyperial

UUNN Newswire

(UUNN HQ) Squad FluxGuts announced today that it has decided to move it base of operations from Amananth to Hyperial space, publishing the following letter:

To the President and Directorate of Hyperial, Greetings.

This is a formal announcement that Squad FluxGuts will begin the process of moving their primary sphere of operations to Hyperial space for the duration of the current Conflux aggression towards Hyperial. We, of course, will only concern ourselves with combating the Conflux while in your territory; as has long been my policy – whatever the Conflux want – they can’t have. Right now, that seems to be a blockade of Hyperial space. That is what we aim to deny them. I believe you know of me, and my squad – we recently put on a bit of a pyrotechnics display in honor of my old squadmate, samwise. As you read, that Fluxhunt was to focus on clearing the space lanes surrounding the bottleneck to your factional territory. This new move is phase 2 of our response to their recent incursions. My squadmate, Sinver, has been based in your territory for some time – but we’re preparing to base our entire squad’s active operations in Hyperial, instead of Amananth, as New Dawn did. I have an ulterior motive for this, but as I said, I wish to make a show of good faith by actually keeping to the terms of The Reconstruction Initiative, and keeping your space lanes safe, since you do not have a space capability of your own at present, due to pressures brought to bear by certain elements. I’m not prepared to argue the merits of that decision at this time – but believe me when I say that I have no animus towards Hyperial, and am concerned only with the safety of your sectors, and that of the pilots who come there to trade. If you are willing, we are prepared to move the venerable Conflux War Command Center, which I have recently unsealed and returned to service, to Hyperial Station. I will, of course, await your pleasure, and the authorization of your Station Governor before making such a move, however.

Once our bona fides are sufficiently established, perhaps we can then discuss some matters of mutual benefit. In the meantime, I hope that our actions demonstrate our friendship to Hypsos, and her people.

Regards,

Razorat “RazorsKiss” Kathonar

Hyperial Labels Quantar “Terrorist State”

by Thane Carios

(Barnard, Hypsos) After leaving a meeting of The Directorate, Dr. Viggio Ragne, the Special Representative for the President, today called Quantar a terrorist state.  “It is really no surprise,” said Ragne.  “This has been a long-standing pattern of behavior for Quantar.  They have consistently supported terrorist attacks on our people.  Rewarding criminals, terrorists and murderers is an atrocity.  We can only hope that the more principled factions will see this for what it is and take appropriate action.”

Hyperial has cut off the few communication channels it has with Quantar and has changed its official political status with Quantar to “War.”

Tahirs Unveil New Award

UUNN Newswire

(Quantar Core)  After nearly two weeks of delays — and apparently some internal heated debates, the leaders of Quantar have announced that several pilots would be awarded for their support of the recent destruction of Hyperial’s jump-ship test program, and it’s (alleged) Genetic Modification research lab.

The new award, the Chrysalis Campaign Ribbon, is being awarded to pilots who supported the extended campaign by Quantar — some of it apparently covert — to derail and destroy what Quantar is calling, Hyperial’s renewed attempts to circumvent the co-operative program developed by the other factions — and managed by TRI Corp. — for Genetic Modifications and jump-ships.

Recipients of this unique ribbon designed specifically for this “campaign” were:  Ambrosius, Blonder, Crackhead, Eismann, Hammer-BS, Jalil, Nereid, Roidrider and Valmagier — several of whom had recently been called “terrorists” by Hyperial Special Representative Dr. Viggio Ragne.
