Benambo deep-space operatives travelling with the DSEV Odysseus on the Distant Worlds 3 expedition have revealed critical information discovered by the Federation while on the expedition. A crashed Anaconda-class vessel was found at: Byua Auwsy TI-I c23-10 Body 1 A Co-ordinates 20.3, 111.76 near the Veil’s Ember nebula. Described as “old and battered”, this Anaconda’s hull “… has dissolved into a glistening mix of polymers, steel and alloys.” Despite appearing to be the same as a modern Anaconda and crashing on an ice-moon devoid of any atmosphere, it is reported that this vessel somehow crashed over 40,000 ly from Sol while possessing no discernable Frame Shift Drive.

The United Goller Liberals (UGL) have become increasingly aggressive to Benambans in Goller. Tensions seemed to start last fall, with the “Ban Benambans from Ban Enterprise” protest campaign in September. But in January of 3312, Benambo’s embassy in Goller was attacked by operatives associated with the UGL, despite official claims from the UGL denying responsibility. On Febuary 18, after mounting tensions and repeated accusations of sabotage, the UGL declared the Benambo Patron Principles the enemy and began a full-on campaign against Patron Principles owned and aligned stations.

Goller has become a hotbed of conflict as of late, and there are two known conflicts. The first and lesser conflict is between the Extra Corporation and the Official Goller Freedom Party (OGFP).

Following long lead times and red tape with Reorte export contracts, Benambo Patron Principles have secured the delivery of newly released Zorgon Peterson Panther Clipper Mk IIs.

Transportation Minster Halh Pakesh made the statement: It is with great joy that I announce the delivery of these new ships.

Following an Imperial war sub-council meeting, Governor Leon Welch has activated several Benambo squadrons, including a detachment of the Benambo Boys, to serve the Imperial Navy as irregulars in the campaign against the Kumo Crew. This activation comes at a time where increased Benamban pressure on removing cartels from Ga’at, Djenni, and Goller ahead of expansion plans are being undertaken by these task forces.

The central Environmental Offices (CEO) of Benambo Patron’s Principles upgraded the previous water-saving advisory to a drought warning last night, despite intervention from the Benambo Boys in the form of 12,000 tons of water delivered to Xin Orbital. This warning is in effect for all stations and settlements, despite localization to Tank Silo. The overseer of Tank Silo released a statement regarding the worsening drought conditions: We’ve got piles and piles of requests for more planetary defensive systems after increased tensions in HIP 28452, what with all the pirates.
