- COMMONWEALTH NEWS NETWORK - est. E-2231 The Commonwealth News Network, more commonly referred to by the abbreviation of C.N.N., was founded in 2231, and over the following decades and even centuries, would become the "Galactic" news source for the Commonwealth, as well as the Forum, while smaller news agencies exist across the nation - often serving as more local information sources. CNN is worth approximatley $2.8 trillion, more than any other news agency like it in the known Galaxy, and employs 72 million people in the Commonwealth alone. The Headquarters of CNN is located in the massive city of New York, on Earth. |

ATLAS STRIKES AGAIN! Humanity's troubled cousins, Atlas, have made yet another attack on the Thanes. SHARE THIS: Tyran Annavana (@TyAnna@CNN)January 6th | New York City After years of what the Commonwealth Military would call "silence", Atlas has made a daring strike against the Thorian Administration. A lone Atlas Frigate was reported to have engaged a survey ship, manned entirely by civilians, in a remote system towards the end of the Perseus Arm. According to reports gathered by the Thorian Navy, Atlas had used Cyber-Warfare Tactics to overtake the civilian ship's - remotely opening the ships's airlocks and killing all of it's 27 crew members in the horrible, painful death that comes with being exposed to the void of Space. The TS White Skull, as Cruiser part of a Thorian Special Operations unit known has the "Hunters" who were tasked soley with combating Atlas, recieved a brief distress transmission from the survey ship before the crew was killed, the vessel quickly used Hyperspace to reach their position, using EMPs to take down the stealth systems of the Atlas vessel, and proceeding to engage. A "series of cannon exchanges" followed, says one Thane who served on the White Skull during the skirmish. Both vessels involved in the fighting recieved damage, and while the White Skull is expected to be repaired shortly, the fate of the Atlas vessel is unknown - for it vanished without a trace, entering some kind of "Wormhole", as witnesses reported. The Commonwealth is currently assisting the Administration in discovering the motivations behind the attack, and hopefully, figure out where the Atlas vessel went. However, many believe that these attempts are in vain. In the words of Terra Nova Administrator John Mayr: "Atlas is centuries ahead of us scientifically - fighting them will be no easy feat." The Military remains confident, and the Chancellor announced that "an extensive investigation" will be carried out." 1.487 Mil. comments![]() |

NAVY MOVES TO COMBAT PIRACY With the threat of pirates and smugglers within the Commonwealth rising, the Commonwelath Navy announces that "operations" will soon take place. SHARE THIS: Tyran Annavana (@TyAnna@CNN)January 28th | New York City ![]() ( Commonwealth Navy Cruisers over Earth ) Piracy is an issue that the Commonwealth has found itself facing more and more in recent years, and with a ship carrying 75 million worth of gold being raided and it's crew executed, the Chancellor has signed off on what the Navy is calling "extensive counter-piracy operations." While they haven't elaborated on what exactly they'll be doing to combat Pirates within the Commonwealth - due to Operational Security - they have said that Marines will play a vital role in the coming operations, with the Secretary of the Navy saying: "Piracy is like a hydra - cutting off one head will only make two more. No, we aren't going to cut off their heads, we're going to burn them alive and toss their ashes into the Sun." Piracy is a newer threat to the Commonwealth, only becoming prominent in the past three years, but it has caused companies and ciitzens to lose more than 400 billion in lose revenue, and in total, has caused around 2,000 deaths and billions in damages. It is an issue that the Commonwealth has been slow to react to, or counter, but now, it appears that the time of standing by is over. Many citizens are glad, though, others believe that this is merely an attempt to draw attention away from an increasingly-active Atlas. 1.221 mil. comments![]() |

GALACTIC CONCORDAT LEAK PUTS ZOLTANS UNDER PRESSURE A Council meeting between the Galactic Concordat and the Zoltan government has been leaked, exposing what some believe to be a 'slave race' SHARE THIS: Tyran Annavana (@TyAnna@CNN)February 3rd | New York City Yesterday, February 3rd of E-2715, the Galactic Concordat's Inner Council met with representatives of the Zoltan imperium - part of the Conferacy of Independent States, which was recently discovered by the Thorian Administration. The meeting, as told in the Council's statement, was told to be "very interesting, though the Concordat should be cautious." However, the meeting was reportedly bugged and released while it was occuring - something that is being blamed on Atlas, though there's no solid evidence to support this." This leak reveals what the Zoltans referred to as slaves and servents - a race of Humans similar to Terrans, in which the Zoltans had withheld despite Human Councillor Zimmerman's orders to release all vital informaton regarding the Zoltan Imperium and the greater CIS. When Councillor Zimmerman asked why the Zoltan had withheld this information, he was given this response: "The Confederacy of Independent Systems does utilize the manpower of creatures that look like you, or atleast the Goa'uld Empire part of the Confederacy does." Indeed, the Representative would insist that the CIS did not "condone slavery", but their actions seem to controdict these statements. As of now, the Galactic Concordat is unable to do much, though Councillor Zimmerman has expressed an interest in "inspections" to make sure that acts of slavery and forced-labor are not in place. While the practicality of this is in question, Zimmerman stated that "the Galactic Concordat is an organization of peace, dedicated to the protection of life in all forms. We cannot, in good conscience, sit by while an entire race of people may be suffering as slaves." 2.111 mil. comments![]() |
