Intergalactic Summit

Opening Statements

Tribal News Network was conceived of as a outlet for Tribal Viewpoints free from the political bias of the Scope Network. We here at TNN want to begin this broadcast by by stating that we will do our best to try and balance the view points presented here with an open mind to other points of view.

Our top story

Today in the Soliara system, a Blood Raider Covenant station was assailed by two opposing forces at the same time. Sources state that one force was none other then Jamyl Serum's Paladins whilst the other was, what one eyewitness describes, a Minmatar death squad. It is unclear if these two forces had previous knowledge of one another or stumbled upon one another in their assaults. What is clear however is that both forces were their in search of the Former Amarrian Chancellor Korsoth.

Most of you will remember that Korsoth was the stewart of the Amarr empire for several years before the return of Jamyl Serum and her rise to the throne and that he mysteriously vanished during the Elders Attack. Many had believed that he had either died in the attack or, was taken by the Elders to stand trial, though the later was hotly disputed.

Eyewitnesses to this attack stated that the Minmatar task force bore an unusual symbol that scholars here at TNN have identified as the Nefantar Tribal seal.

Two things strike this reporter as odd and that is that first, why would the Amarr send a death squad to a place where they suspected an esteemed Amarrian Holder was being held and second, why would they fight with their own Ammatar allies in a gun fight?

The Ammatar Public Relations department had this to say on the subject, "We ardently deny that any Ammatar forces where operating in Aridia at that time and we reject the idea that any Ammatar force would ever open fire on Holy Paladins provoked or otherwise. Finally we have forsaken our Nefantar heritage long ago and thus Ammatar forces would never wear that seal. More likely some crazy element of Electus Matari, Defiants Legacy or Autocannons staged an attack against Holy Paladins to interfere with their righteous duties and to try and cause a rift between us, their most abject subjects."

When we contacted the Amarr Consult of Public affairs about the reports that this was an operation pertaining to Korsoth they refused to comment other then to say that the man had been dead for several years.

In Other News

Today the Ani Tribunal argued in High Matar court that the Amarrian Plantations on several worlds in Matar space were being operated illegally and against the Charter of the Republic. The decision was handed down that no hard evidence could be provided that anything illegal was happening at these sites and that "The workers there appeared to be there of their own volition and paid well."

Ani Tribunal lawyers asked for a stay of verdict in order to gather more proof of their claims. The final session will take place 8-12-114 and this will be the groups final chance to persuade the court to revoke the Amarr corporation Joint Harvestings right to operate in Matar Space.

Final Thoughts

We look forward to bringing you the most current and up to date news that is relevant to you, our Brothers and Sisters of the KIn. We look forward to feed back either here or you can reach this reporter via the Neocom. Thank you, and stay strong Matar.

It is very strange indeed that this report comes from ten jumps from where the report you linked happen. What I will say is that while the operation noted may have been reported falsely to us it bear noting that both reports come from nearly a stones throw from one another. If I were to speculate, or I was a conspiracy theory nut, I might wonder what happened in that 17 hour window reported by the Scope. That being said I will have to vet my information a little better. In the mean time it is certain that some sort of raid happened and a skirmish ensued between Serums Paladins and Minmatar bearing Nefantar seals, or this could be a case of Blood Raiders falsely reporting an event.

Here's some hard evidence for you. Any one capsuleer among us may corroborate it easily enough.

Destroyed slaver ships' manifests always list slaves as 'slaves' -not 'refugees' nor 'workers' nor any other fabrication.

Fascinating.

I would find it quite hilarious if the fat fool Karsoth actually survived this long.

In fact, if he had, that would be cause enough for Nefantar Tribesmen to attack both Amarrian and Blood Raider forces, non?

For a journalist who claims to represent a Tribal viewpoint, you seem woefully inadequate for the job. Perhaps you could use more... informed voices to report on this and similar subjects? Possibly even an editor to fact check and spell check articles?

I think the reporter was just... reading too far into things, and looking for a story where one really didn't exist. Hence my observation that perhaps she needs other reporters, and definitely an editor. According to her own article, the Amarr even confirmed that Karsoth was dead:


That's the problem when reporting the news takes a back seat to making news.

Then again, I would say Muck Raker has nothing to fear of her readership suffering due to competition, non?

I look forward to seeing more from this "Netwrok".

Guilty.
