ConHo Daily's Weekly News Recap

Due to an unexpected Minmatar terrorist attack on our headquarters due to the last article, we have been delayed in providing more news to the good people of New Eden. However, reconstruction of the office went quickly due to the efforts of construction drones and colonists who were volunteered into service.

Without further ado, we present all that was missed during the temporary blackout!

- Empire competition has increased significantly, with word of new battlecruisers quickly spreading throughout New Eden. These new ships are believed to be able to fit guns normally reserved for battleships, and many debate as to whether these ships will make the current battlecruisers and battleships near-obsolete in fleet effectiveness.

- In a startling development, rumors abound that a joint operation between Caldari and Gallente scientists is being conducted to improve hyrbid and rail weaponry in order to advance their goals against mutual enemies on the galactic scale. It is not yet known exactly what advances are being made, but experts believe that improvements are being made to fluidity of weapon machinery, which will allow the weapons to rotate faster and hit with much greater accuracy than before.

- In further technological news, the Caldari and Gallente are also working on improving the chassis of their ships, including new armor plates and paint schemes, in order to advance their goals against mutual enemies. Already a major design change is being implemented for the Condor hull.

The Kaalakiota Corporation has truly mastered ship design

- In more recent news, HARMON Alabel, the newly appointed Mining Foreman, conducted a Consolidated Holdings mining op in Amygnon, with a very high mining yield. The participants succeeded in tearing apart many, many asteroids, which will surely help corporate production in battlecruisers, and possibly other technologies in the near future.

- Also in today's news, the Coalition Forces successfully defended the Ouelletta POS from pirate attackers. Xeddiphan in Lord Mandelor were able to take part in combat operations, but their fleet was unable to join the main battle due to being assigned to a reinforcement fleet. The Coalition was commanded by a member of the Tuskers.

"We didn't do too much besides some eventual guard duty on some repper ships," Xeddiphan admitted. "Things only got interesting when we got hot dropped."

The hotdrop, conducted by a neutral corporation, succeeded in destroying an allied Chimera-class carrier, thought the drop fleet consisted of two dreadnoughts, a Nyx, and, terrifyingly, a Titan.

"The fleet and I had been fine up until then, but I pooped a little when that Erebus was dropped on us out of nowhere," Lord Mandelor said.

"I'm not proud," he quickly added.

That wraps up the highlights for this week! We look forward to delivering more news soon, WITHOUT being sabotaged by radicals. CONCORD Officials assure us it probably will not happen again.
