Operation Firestorm
FEDERATION FIRESTORMThe Shadow President this week announced she was assuming control of the Star System 41 Lambda Hydrae, the question on everyone's minds was she welcomed or not? The sub space communications channels were a buzz this week as the takeover of 41 Lambda Hydrae juggernauted its way into the history books.
This reporter assigned here two weeks ago to report on the sudden crop failures attributed to a toxin released into the soil by elements of the Black Falcons a known Federation mercenary company reported to be employed by the large and powerful Tashile Foods Corporation. This Corporation also a large financial contributor to both President Hudson and the Shadow President Felicia Winters campaigns, came under fire recently in local news here on 41 Lambda Hydrae A6 also known as Wayola by the locals after investigations revealed large substantial payouts and bribes to local administrative officials to subvert Wayola's Corporate Charter.
This Charter sets conditions on Corporations doing business on Wayola and compels them to run their operations there as Cooperative Corporations a business model practiced by inhabitants of Wayola, and investigations suggest Tashile Foods was making every attempt to undermine this process.
Thirteen Days ago eight members of the Black Falcons were apprehended by Winter's Wolves security services just before they could totally complete their release of this devastating toxin and were taken into custody for crimes against the Wayola People.
This week as the investigation was coming to a head. news arrived at Operation Winters Wayola's orbiting starport also known as Yurchikhin Ring by outsiders that Felicia Winters had ordered her forces to take control of 41 Lambda Hydrae.
Fleet Admiral Crosby The Winter's Wolf in charge at Operation Winters, ordered an immediate Boycott and Blockade he then gave interdiction orders of all Federal vessels attempting to run the Blockade of 41 Lambda Hydrae. He issued standing orders that a emergency session be called in the Alpha Chamber and House of Beta to discuss these plans by the Federalists.
Base Commander Crosby then ordered and inquiry from the Bureau of Preparation to which the Director of the Bureau of Preparation is on record as saying that he made a request that 41 Lambda Hydrea not be placed upon the Shadow Presidents Preparation list.
In response to his request Felicia Winters Sky Marshall has been quoted as saying, "I need to reinforce here that my loyalty lies solely to the Federation and to Felicia Winters. This means that I am not a Winters Wolf, and I cannot sacrifice a profitable system for the sake of its independence, especially now. " Profitable by who the Federation or the Tashile Foods Corporation?
At this time it is rather unclear what happened next early reports suggest a group of Federalist supporters seized control of Operation Winters and began taking control of Winters Wolves Communication relays. Upon Fleet Admirals Crosby orders Operations Winters communications net was taken offline and wiped from system memory.
The takeover must have been quick, fast and deliberate. Some reports even suggest more Black Falcon involvement as the culprits apprehended the week before have gone missing from the Operation Winters Brig.
