Whilst Vice-Captain Kestrel’s expedition team continued the search for Commander Varse and her team | Whilst Vice-Captain Kestrel’s expedition team continued the search for Commander Varse and her team, the Universal Council received word of a developing conflict on the Union agricultural planet of Morn. During a routine trade visit, Tonocom Defence representative Lucille Whitlock discovered that the planet’s central fusion generator was one appropriated from Tonocom Defence, albeit partially adapted. Tonocom’s attempts at negotiation were refused by their Union point of contact, Darshan Kel; the Federation corporation subsequently dispatched a fleet under the premise of peaceful reclamation of their technology, only to be met with hostilities. | ||
The ensuing conflict saw the deaths of several Federation soldiers, as well as the grave injury of a number of Morn’s inhabitants, though there were no casualties. With the Federation fleet being forced to retreat and negotiations in a deadlock, Tonocom began to prepare a second force. At this juncture the Universal Council decided to intervene, before Tonocom could launch its assault, by making a ruling between having the Morn inhabitants return the generator, or by having the Federation corporation cease and desist; the seated Councilmembers thus briefed their respective factions accordingly. | The ensuing conflict saw the deaths of several Federation soldiers, as well as the grave injury of a number of Morn’s inhabitants, though there were no casualties.

The final vote is in favor of having Morn return the technology to Tonocom Defense. Darshan Kel has been sent back to the planet with the directive from the Council, along with a ship from Tonocom, and it’s expected that the handover of the generator will happen shortly. | The final vote is in favor of having Morn return the technology to Tonocom Defense.

Citizen evacuation on the Union’s side had already begun. I’d never seen the Bastion before, can’t even begin to describe- it was like the world suddenly had a ceiling, I guess. Our attack against the sect of the Ojin-Kai mercenary clan, as we now know them, was over almost immediately; they had firepower, but we had the numbers. Our forces took some heavy blows, but those brave soldiers died to let us secure our mission objective: the fusion generator. From what I’ve been told, Lucille Whitlock, who was initially assigned to this brief, is currently also unaccounted for. | Citizen evacuation on the Union’s side had already begun.

Upon their completion of the evacuation, Union members from the Bastion assisted Tonocom Defence’s forces in their investigation of the Ojin-Kai’s operations. As President Adonis apparently initially suspected, this sect of the Ojin-Kai was not merely present on Morn, but was also all but running the planet, its inhabitants living in constant fear of the clan, acting only as a smokescreen for the Ojin-Kai’s illicit operations. | Upon their completion of the evacuation, Union members from the Bastion assisted Tonocom Defence’s forces in their investigation of the Ojin-Kai’s operations.

As a result of the ceased hostilities, the memorial service on station Edison will be continuing as planned. Various councilmembers will be attending the service, which will last for three planetary rotations of the station. President Elijah Burke will also be reading a tribute at the service to the Federation soldiers that gave their lives to secure the fusion generator on Morn. The Council invites any members of the Explorer program who wish to express their condolences to make the journey to station Edison as well. | As a result of the ceased hostilities, the memorial service on station Edison will be continuing as planned.
