TRI Corp Issues Warning

UUNN Newswire

(UUNN HQ)  The following was released today by Dr. Zhia Khatdinal, Director of Astrophysics and Cartography for TRI Corp:

 *  *  * ALERT *  *  * 

A dark-energy wave has been detected and is expected to reach our space tomorrow.  While this event is similar to the one that caused The Catastrophe ten years ago, it is much less powerful.  It is expected to result in some minor time-disruption.  For most this should only be approximately one hour.

Other symptoms could include tiredness, mild headache and nausea — though if you experience this it could also simply be a hangover.

TRI-R Astrophysics and Cartography will continue to monitor the situation.

Commemoration Planned for 10th Anniversary of The Restoration

UUNN Newswire

(UUNN HQ) There are less than two weeks to go until the 10th Anniversary of Restoration Day and TRI Corporation has announced that the Factions have contracted it to create an exclusive new medal to be awarded to each pilot who logs in for duty on that day (12:01am UTC – 12 midnight UTC).

Current and Retired Pilots are encouraged to log in for duty — even if only for a short time — to help commemorate this special day.

The Restoration is the period of time between The Catastrophe (112.4.30) and 113.12.28 — the date TRI Corporation officially activated station launch systems and opened jumpgates (i.e. “Restoration Day.”)

Quantar Squad Calls on TRI to Remove Hyperial FM

The following Press Release was independently submitted and does not necessarily reflect the opinions of UUNN:

FROM: THE BROTHEROOD OF THE STONE

* * * FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE * * *

THE STONE TEMPLE (Ekoos Stop) – For the safety of all pilots, The Brotherhood of the Stone formally calls on TRI Corporation to remove Hyperial’s current faction mission from TRI Mission Computers. Hyperial motives are always suspect and are certainly never in alignment with the good of Quantar. There is nothing to be gained by any of the Factions for supporting this mission. And for individual pilots whose lack of moral compass could lead them to support the mission — the financial rewards are just not worth the risk of losing even a well-insured payload.

TRI Corp Lays Off Docking Comp Workers

UUNN Newswire

(Solrain Wake Station)  TRI Corporation announced today that due to economic conditions it was closing down its Docking Computer factory on Wake Station.

“The inventory we have is just not moving,” said Sagrith Hubri, TRI Director of Manufacturing, Mercantile and Economics.  “We still have the automated factory in Ekoos Stop and that should be more than adequate to handle demand.  These things are really for our recruits — seasoned pilots should not need them.  If things pick up in the future, we’ll address it as necessary.”

Hubri confirmed that all New Recruits would still be given a complimentary Docking Computer with their first ship.

Prizes to the first three to identify the mystery ‘roids will be Buildkits 8, 4 and 2 for the first, second and third pilots  (respectively) to correctly identify all of the ‘roids.  There are rumors that additional prizes may be awarded if there are enough pilots participating.

TRI-IND to Mothball “O” Gates

UUNN Newswire

(Solrain Core Station) TRI Corporation, Industrial & Business Services (TRI-IND), Sector Assets Division announced today that it plans on “mothballing” a number of gates throughout space.  “This is a cost-cutting move,” said Tristan Kamihira, Director of Sector Assets for TRI-IND.  “With the current number of pilots on duty these days launch fees and insurance fees have plummeted.  We just can’t afford to keep all of these gates maintained for so few people.”

According to A. Trottel, a TRI Sector Assets Engineer, a careful traffic study was done and the decision to shut down all gates for sectors beginning with an “O” was actually was not arbitrary, but rather it was arrived upon scientifically.  “It just worked out that way,” she added.

TRI Reports Ship Missing

UUNN Newswire

(UUNN HQ)  TRI Corporation reported this morning that one of its unmanned cargo tows has stopped responding to remote commands and all telemetry has been lost.
