Subj: Two-day Extended "Skull" Battle
Ophidian fans are in for a massive treat this week in the Leonide System as New Ruege's second moon plays host to a massive four-team conflict. With the entire surface of the moon providing the battlefield, and a two-day time frame, expect an all out war. Teams lose either from elimination or by another team capturing the team's specially glyphed gladiator, called "the skull", and forcing them by any means other than death to mark the base with their team's glyph.

Subj: Ophidians Kidnap Gladiator
House of Kilflame and House Tempora in the Justich System say an act of sabotage was used to forcefully capture The Red Pariah, an Elder of Solop Avagar. Ophidian soldiers and troops were seen raiding the Elder's secret home and removing the Pariah. There is also unconfirmed reports of Ophidian Gladiator involvement.
Ophidian representatives said the acquisition was legit, according to a pre-determined agreement which they have in writing. They also said The Red Pariah came along peacefully, and the guards were present only to protect the Elder, not force him out.

Subj: Leonide Race Ends in Mystery
One racer is still missing from the Sarati Route Space Race and another's ship might have been sabotaged.
Eric "Blue Eye" Berca was last seen flying the ship Meredine Hope (a symbol of Leonide pride) into the anomaly known as Shandra’s Pocket with the other racers. The others came out with minor problems, however, he didn't. Two unidentified craft entered the anomaly with him, they too didn't leave. Unofficial word has it that the two ships might be from the Raskelon System and they are behind the vanishing. Raskelon officials deny involvement and ties are further strained between the Raskelons and the Leonides. Gercan Captain and winner of the race "Sting" Ray Raba and a few of his soldiers have volunteered to re-enter the anomaly try to find Berka.
In addition, Ophidian Gladiator H’Ronka’s ship was almost destroyed due to a malfunction during the race. After the race, technicians had found evidence that his ship’s weapon systems might have been sabotaged.
We will report any developments as they rise in this matter.
