With the Reaper War raging around the galaxy, Battlespace remains live and online to bring you up-to-the minute updates as events happen. As Alliance News Network's premiere programming following the war, it is our honor to bring the people information they desperately desire. Information that gives them hope...something to look forward to despite all that is wrought around them. We here at Battlespace can safely say that there is hope at the end of a rather long, dark tunnel. It is hope nonetheless.

Sources at CNN and elsewhere have shown us promising news. Despite the war raging on the Council race homeworlds, Kahje, the hanar homeworld, has managed in a surprising display to remove the Reaper threat from its borders. With the bulk of the invasion forces routed and the remaining pockets of resistance are being mopped up, it is one step closer to victory and possible aid to be offered by both the hanar and resident drell via The Compact.

Surprisingly enough, Tuchanka, the krogan homeworld, is on the verge of removing the Reaper threat from its surface through the combined forces of the Imperial Army and independent clans. While no formal alliances have been drafted, they share a common enemy and seek the Reapers' destruction in its entirety. After some interesting and bold political ploys by the Turian Hierarchy to circumvent the DMZ that surrounds Tuchanka in order to allow for Imperial forces from Virmire to arrive unmolested and eliminate the Reaper threat to their planet. In return, the Hierarchy wants the krogan to assist with the retaking of Palaven. Rumors are circulating that the Krogan Empire has only agreed to such terms if the Genophage is cured. Again, unconfirmed by our sources, but we strongly believe that to be true.

Most of all...hope for Earth. Despite the shady past and misgivings that the organization is known for, it is difficult to not look a gift horse in the mouth. The pro-human organization labeled a terrorist group by Council space, Cerberus, has made an interesting and unorthodox move. CNN stated that Cerberus openly approached and contacted the Quarian Federation's Admiralty Board seeking assistance and aid for Earth. As dire as things are, it comes as no surprise that the organization would seek help for humanity even through the form of non-humans. In exchange for their loose arrangements with Cerberus, the Migrant Fleet was retrofitted with up-to-date military hardware, giving the quarians more of a chance to hold their own against the Reaper threat. With the Quarian Federation fortunate enough to not be affected by the war, the offer of aid will not be refuted.

We here at Battlespace are certain that the idea of Cerberus assisting, employing the help of aliens of all things, is most unorthodox...but desperate times call for desperate measures. With what seems like the end of days upon us even with hope at the end of that proverbial tunnel shining brightly, there is still a long way to go.

This has been Battlespace, keeping you up-to-date, signing off.
