But you were HELPING those Sombrans, weren't you? You should choose your allies more wisely. You may be newcomers here but I lost family on Courtesan, and more
fighting those bastards on their home turf. The Sombrans are murderers and enemies of the entire system, no matter how they want to spin it. I've already forwarded Vids of our encounter to the authorities here. Not conclusive evidence, they said, but they'll be watching you. And so will I.

::NEWS AND EVENTS::-------------------
news[0]-------------------------------Pirate hunting intensifies;-----------------------
Despite recent skirmishes in many different sectors, pirate activity has remained at an elevated rate around the system. In response, the CLU is increasing the reward offered for the destruction of any confirmed pirate vessel to 20Mil.
news[1]-------------------------------Culsat sabotage announced as Maxxa Universal Operation;-----------------------
Titan Universal representatives today announced the discovery of evidence that implicates Maxxa Universal as being connected to the sabotage attempts against the Titan's CulSat refineries. Maxxa Universal spokespersons have gone on record denouncing these findings as a fabrication.
news[2]-------------------------------Mining operations continue, cache deposits established;-----------------------
With repairs to JumpSat still under way and the system remaining in isolation, the product of Culver's many drogue-mining operations have begin to accumulate. With facilities on Culsat, Shard and Calamity reaching their capacity, extraorbital caches are being established to hold the excess material, and in the meantime, mining operations continue.
news[3][breaking]-----------------------------Culsat saboteur suicide;-----------------------
According to sources within the CLU's prison section on Culsat, approximately [1h,24m] ago, the man accused of multiple incidences of sabotage against CulSat refineries was discovered to be dead in his cell. No official announcement or statement of the cause of death has yet been given, but confidential sources have revealed that the incident is being investigated as a suicide.
