Press Release: Border Disputes Intensify between The Ken'Tarii and Neighboring Independent Groups
10 Mar 2023Antraeon
The re-opening of trade with the closing of the cold-war between DSRT and THKI has raised security concerns focused around the Toxandji system, a border system which sits at the crossroads between Ken'Tarii space and that of the Space Phantom Brotherhood. THKI's leadership has established a history of deep interest in controlling said system and has negotiated the purchase and hand-over of system control from the Cartel of Yaso Kondi, a faction owned by Order of the Black Moon (Formerly, the "Imperial Octopus Cartel") who are staunch allies of THKI and a key regional trade partner. Space Phantom Brotherhood, however, has relinquished vassalship to The Holy Ken'Tarii Imperium directly prior to their presence being established in the system, and their leadership has refused to offer comment when questioned about any knowledge of the treaties which the Ken'Tarii signed with OBM prior to renouncing their status as a vassal group to THKI. The murky legality surrounding Space Phantom's current occupation of the system and their uncertain diplomatic status has many regional experts concerned that this may spark conflict in the near future, as Ken'Tarii fleet-carriers have already been semi-permanently deployed to the system in order to protect the interests of THKI and The Mandate by extension. The Arch-Marshal is expected to meet with his personal joint-task-force as well as Ken'Tarii high-command in order to discuss how best to approach the situation without severely escalating tensions.
