Official release from HQ command, Admiral Dadds, regarding a reported incident at System GJ 832 has just been made available to the public. Report follows.
<Admiral Dadds>"Greetings Corp leaders, Captains and Commanders. It is our duty to inform the people that one of our fleet operating out around quadrants 0,1 to 0,2 has encountered a declared pirate orbiting around Alpha GJ 832. Based on this pilots stance of being a pirate, the sudden powering up of his fleet and his threats toward all pilots and corps, it was decided we should launch a preemptive strike against his vessel to remove the threat of further military build up."
The battle report is just coming in now from Deep space from the pilot of RAZOR, a type-VI Battlecruiser on deployment to [IMG]'s 1st Carrier Fleet, Commanded by Admiral Dadds of ISBM FLAGSHIP:

Attacker victory!
A most decisive victory based on power levels against odds of 7:14 against. The pilot who conducted the attack is being considered for a bravery medal. When questioned, the pilot had only a brief and humbling comment; "I am no hero. Sure the odds were great but i knew the abilities of my ship and its crew. The vessel was a heavily defended invasion fleet with no real energy weaponry to give us much pause. I volunteered our crew for this task after seeing intel reports provided through our GC network and knew that WE also had the backing of Admiral Dadds 1st Fleet if it was required. Excuse me, i must go provide instruction to stow the excess stores and personnel recovered from the battle, and tend to any enemy casualties"
Well there you have it pilots. After many a long month of relative peace and harmony in the galaxy, some news of considerable import has been reported. Can this mean that once again, [IMG] are re-vamping their efforts to remove a pirate menace? Or is it just a flashy show of power from one of the top Co-orporations to maintain total power and dominance over this part of the galaxy. Only time, and this reporter, will tell. I would like to thank the leader of IMG for allowing us to bring you this unbiased, factual report of current events.
