Good evening ladies and gentlemen. We'll get back to the suprise retirement of Supreme Commander Simon Kaine and the ascenion of Moff Bhindi Drayson to fill his position in a moment. But first, we have an update in the bombing in Grand Isle on the planet Vladet today.

The bodies removed from the wreckage of the craft have been identified as those belonging to Governer Park Kraken, his wife Melina Kraken, and their servants and handlers. Their children were not among the bodies removed, and it is speculated at this time that they may have been incinerated in the explosion.

With this latest development, speculation and rumors about the explosion being staged appear to have been quieted by this news, and we have heard that a state funeral is being prepared in Grand Isle to mourn the passing of the father of the Mid-Rim Protectorate. As to who will succeed Park Alexei Kraken in governership of the Protectorate, is not known at this time.

We'll let you know more as we learn more. Back to our main featured item.
