Edited News Reports from the Triad Alliance News Corp.

Station Operations Reports:

1. Combot Defenses Upgraded

Dateline 11/22/2151: The stations Combot patrols that provide for internal station security were upgraded this week with new weaponary from the biochemically advanced Bra'kkan.HYPO weaponary was added to the Combots typical offensive armament. HYPO weapons contain biochemical agents that can "knock out" and easily quiet a disruptive or hostile being. Various HYPO "shells" exist that work on the individual biochemistry of the alien targeted. With three major alien races and the numerous non triad races that will visit the station, the addition of these non lethal and non hull penetrating weapons are hoped to add another layer of security to the work environment of the Starbase.

2. Flibot AVys work the Pylons:

Dateline 11/22/2151: The stations Flibot AVys recieved upgraded software this week to help them better handle the many varied ship designs that are being tested at the Starbase. The flibots, which can be thought of as the old "deck crews" of historic aircraft carriers, have been newly color coded by function and the software upgrades will greaten their independence from their biological hosts when operating. The Flibots can now independently signal each other via their chest strobe lights to quicken the response time of dock operations and craft movements within the docks.New VR software tech has also been added to increase the definition of the 360 degree vision offered by the AVys. The New ColorCoded designations are the following:redbots- manage fueling... goldbots- flight controllers...bluebots- manage craft operations...purplebots- communications and video feeders...greenbots- clean up/sanitation systems...whitebots- medical aid systems/emergency standby.

3. Aelori/Terran Cooperation Succeeds.

Dateline 11/22/2151: The first joint Aelori/Terran prototypes featuring advance tach drive units were unveiled this week. Still in the design phase the Leemak class vessels hope to test the limits of tach drive and provide valuable information about the top speed at which humans can travel in space. Further Information and images available in Triad Mission Logs for 11/22/2151.

Triad Alliance Reports:

1. Trouble on Bra'kkas Continues

Dateline 11/22/2151: Images released today from the fighting in the Bra'kkan city of Tahan shed new insight into the mysterious ancient history of the Bra'kkan. Images from the brutal attacks by the clans resistant to the Triad alliance show that though to Terrans all Bra'kkan look the same or similar, that not the same thing can be said about how Bra'kkans look at each other.The images clearly indicate that clans are differentiated by horn length,color and curvature. Though a superficial difference to humans,reminicent of the race issues of a century ago on earth, the bra'kkan clans seem to be racially motivated with the horn pattern and design being of particular importance.The clans of extremely long curled horned Bra'kkan seem to be the ones leading the efforts to undermine the Triad. Terrans may have taken Bra'kkan unity for granted not noticing that the earliest Bra'kkan ambassadors to the triad all were "short" horned but no doubts can now exist from the images of hundreds of dead "short horned" Bra'kkan littering the streets of Tahan .

2. Aelori troops Arrive:

Dateline 11/22/2151: In an effort to add "being power" to our mobilized troops , the Aelori have begun an effort to "recall" all of their race that are "traveling" the galaxy. An Aelori thrives on the travels it makes during it's brief lifetime.This "recall" represents a major change in the nature of this space faring race.This "recall to arms" though may take years to accomplish since Aelori travel seperately thoughout the galaxy, each one in a personal effort to learn and expand the races total knowledge by the time of its death, and rarely do they encounter each other.

3. Patent Fighting on Earth:

Dateline 11/22/2151: The MSG Group found itself under corporate attack again this week from a new source.It seems that the Bra'kkan are also interested in the VR tech patents developed from triad interaction and it seems that terran courts are unprepared to deal with litigation from non terran worlds and organizations.The war effort has a simple command "survival"....the commercial and financial efforts related to the Triad Alliance appear to be more complicated.

Reports from the Vox War:

1. NON TRIAD Alliance Assistance:

Dateline 11/22/2151: The Sri Corporate have completed their first vessel for the Vox War effort.It is hoped more such non triad worlds will contribute to the war efforts and keeping the Vox out of our local galatic space.More info and images available at the Triad Mission Logs Section of the Starbase.

2. From the ISS Bismarck Logs:

Dateline 11/22/2151:ISS Bismarck has returned to the front and has rejoined a task fleet patroling Triad Space.Triad science command still running experiments on the mysterious "orb" we found weeks ago.
