    News Reporter: Blood Guard pilot Baldwin


    Date: January 7th, 10:48am, 3001


    Top Story: R_39 Come Sweeping in Big!


    The Ronin are still the new kids on the block, however they have already left their mark. As all front lines of Crossfire now peaceful after the Chaos Exoddus War, the Ronin have turned their eye on internal issues. Already mortal enemies with the pirate clans, they have two infamous criminals on their hit list: Prokiller, and the intersteller finanical theif, Sil. We have yet to hear a bounty plea on Sil, but sources inside the Ronin have told us that the bounty on Prokiller, which is still being process at Alliance HQ, is a near 100 million credits.


    Once again, all eyes turn to the Ronin as day three of the Alliance Supreme Senate Courts charge Gryphon Harold, aka Gunny, with murder and monopoly. Reports are sketchy, but Alliance intel supports that Gryphon ordered the assassinations of several rival corperate CEO's. These hits scared the companies and have pulled all merchandise off the open market. This leaves Gryphon's gun running ventures untouchable since they are now the sole producer of ship mounted weapons. The only companies that are remaining are allied with GCC are Ageria with their rifle buisness, and the Interstellar Alliance with their orbital shipyards based above Crossfire. If convicted, he will be sentenced to twenty years of hard labor on the mining asteroid Kurbo, and the Alliance will take over his company and spilt it into seven parts which will then compete against each other and restore the weapons market.


    In other news, the Blood Guard has turned pirate! They smashed in and destroyed about seventeen DragonCorp and PiA convoys. However the tides turned and BG was retaliated against and lost. However this was only the new Trade Assualt event in the arena. The long anticipated event was held two days ago and was a major success. Though the equipment was a little faulty and the rules were a bit confusing, the ratings of the Arena Command Radio went through the roof! The ratings went up 2000%, more then what it has been in the last eighty years. The TA is being reviewed and is expected to be up and operational next week.


    Dockmasters are worried about faulty new power generators from Republican Shipping. They overload the built-in power plant and cause it to shut down indefinatly, forcing you to keep the part and pay the ugly monthly fees.


    Also in the ship review news, health inspectors are worried about pilots using the Bullpup MK III. As all the pilots knowm the BP III has seven twin-prop engines. At full cruise speed the G-forces are at 7.84, where the normal safe G-forces in space are at 6.39. At those speeds the pilots are damn near brittling thir bones. Doctors argue that such ships should be taken off the market due to hazardous heath and navagational risks. Officals just laughed and said that the scientists were crack-pots and their findings were inaccurate. The BP producers said that the scientists were fudging data to help take the ship off the market since International Shipping promised full funding. The current production of Bullpups has caused I.S. to lose about fourty-seven million stockholders.


    This is BG Baldwin signing off. Good night, and good luck.

  • Role Play

    Mercenaring is an illegal career in some places, even in real life. Governments don't want civilians to assume the roles, and think they are above the law enforcements. Only reason why it is legal in the US is cause when extridition don't work, send in the bounty hunters to...."push" them over the border :D


    edit:
    However it is not illegal to BE a merc...but if the police catch them aiding the wrong side of the law then you just eliminate that batch of mercs. Mercenaries usually fight alone and and are bought individually, therefore there is no real "command" to lead the army of mercs, just liasons that find job offers for the pilots. So unless the guild itself has a grudge withsomeone else, there is no picticular alliance. However any other bounty hunter guild will be their enemy, but only business enemies, who are fighting against each other for job contracts with big money clients.


    (I spent too much time on a bounty hunter game for the PS2 ^^;; )
