GalNet: Federal Agents Arrested! Embassy In Lockdown

06 Jan 2021Rho Tefnutet
It has not been a mystery that Federal Agents were not a rare sight inside Draguan Nu, but at least their presence strayed as far as into outer planets in the system. At 20:00 GMT however, the New Republic released an official statement that it arrested several Federal Agents who infiltrated Reightler Dock under different positions, such as shipwrights, sellers or ship dealers. The anonymous source within NR Sec surfaced that these individuals were under surveillance for a longer time ever since year 3304 and that their activity peaked after the recent ban on official Core Dynamics' dealers.

Officer Elian Sanchez of NR-Sec made a statement that is only a small part of full position of New Republic:

"Given that Lakon is one of the main contractors for the New Republic of Draguan Nu, we share the same worried approach like entirety of the Alliance. The Independent Systems of Alioth being supplied by Lakon as Core Dynamics not only brings the question in regard of direct conflict of interest, but also gives a red flag in sense of security of entire superpower the Alliance is. The same applies to our own safety and these arrests are connected to the process of Core Dynamics ship dealers being banned from Draguan Nu - with them being replaced by New Republican dealers acting under very strict governmental control. As a side note, I am very surprised that Prime Minister Mahon did not start the investigation right away, but I guess with the recent GalNet article about the Core's takeover it is just matter of time," he added.

The Lakon Spaceways' becoming Core Dynamics' subsidiary met with sort of angered panic on Reightler Dock as well. The initial operation of barring away the official Core Dynamics dealers from the Reightler Dock and nationalizing the distribution of their ships was not enough to avert the protests, although they are lesser than anticipated by New Republican authorities. They are on high alert due to the unclear events that also shook the local news today: the Federal Embassy on Draguan Nu being off limits, with staff said to be arrested en masse - although with no public declaration on what kind of charges.

General Maite Snider released a short annotation, in which she assures all friendly Commanders that the New Republican cooperation with Federation-aligned allies will not be affected, since all these actions are home security affairs.
