Press Release: THKI Declares Neutrality in Sekhereke Conflict, Withdraws All Carriers
30 Oct 2021Antraeon
With the growing Imperial offensive to secure the Sekhereke system through Kamas Empire League from the current controlling faction, Nagnutli Gold Federal Partners, it has been decided in referendum by The Holy Ken'Tarii Imperium's higher command structure to withdraw all of the squadron's fleet-carriers from the area and to declare an exclusion zone with a radius of 15ly, with Sekhereke being it's epicenter. For the better part of the past two weeks, THKI has openly facilitated transport to and from the contested system for CMDRs who are looking to gain Federal reputation and ranking, as well as CMDRs who are pledged to Federation powerplays.The Arch-Marshal, CMDR Antraeon Rintokken, had only this to say; "Unfortunately, it is no longer possible for us to continue to provide support with the rising security threat within our home territory. It has been determined more likely than not that it is a rogue Federal entity conducting the sabotage against us - So the majority of THKI's cadre are unwilling to continue support for NGFP at this time."
Diplomatic communications between The Holy Ken'Tarii Imperium and Federal Unified Command are expected to continue without interruption despite this revelation, and BGS consultants have confirmed that since the re-allocation of squadron assets to homespace the security threat in Lhanayi has quickly returned to minimal; However, this withdrawal from Sekhereke by one of the region's largest squadrons has leaders of local Federation-aligned squadrons concerned over the cutoff of assets and increased workload that will be necessary in defending the system from attempts to re-establish Imperial control.
