The Tiacken Tribune Presents: News in Brief!

Because of several complaints over the length of some of our editions, the Tribune Staff decided to shorten things up this week…in a big way. Don’t worry though, loyal readers, we’ll be back in our loquacious glory soon!

Border Skirmish-Conclusion?

In an attempt to take the Reaper Men off themselves (see last week’s TT), the Fearsome Crocostimpies transferred their disputed Starbase, Castle Anthrax, to the Federal Guard in a surprise move last week. Wether this gambit will result in a cessation of hostilities for the Crocs is as of now unclear, with the ultimate outcome between FG/FC/SR pending…

Plentiful Bounty

The Tribune would like to congratulate Eldrioth (not to be confused with the esteemed editor of this publication) for an impressive over 200 Bounties collected; with a current lead of 32 bounties over the closest runner-up Cereal Killer, he remains the Galaxy’s no.1 Bounty Hunter. The lesson: be good or Eldrioth will come and get you!

Hope Fiend?

The Spirit of the Crusades recently reared its head again when various remnants of the Pardusian Inquisition and the Circle of the Enlightened launched a sucessful assault on a Grefaho Slave Camp under STS control. Shortly thereafter, their apparent spokesperson, Aragorn Leonhard stated their intent of resuming the struggle against Drugs and Slavery; 2 more Drug Station have been subsequently razed since. While some observers question Count Leonhard’s ability to put his Mk. IIs where his mouth is, there is no doubt the reemergance of vigilantism has made the upkeep of an illegal economy a lot more challenging.

TST Member Flaunts Prophit!

Earlier this week, TST’s own Prophet decided that he was so rich that he didn’t need to engage in the sale of drugs any longer. So thinking, Prophet summarily ejected tons of drugs from his BOA’s cargo bay. Preliminary reports indicate that while the exact number of tons is currently unknown, the estimate places Prophet’s ejection in the hundreds. The Tribune applauds Prophet for his attempt to “go straight,” and wishes him success in his newfound career as a legitimate trader. The profit margin might not be quite as high, but we are sure that the moral rewards are significant!
