Galactic News Network -- Food For Fiction
 

GNN, Trill Prime
In other news today, a string of gruesome murders has been attributed to a renegade Trill. Psychologists at the Trill Institute state that the perpetrator torments it's new hosts before forcibly joining with them. It is now thought that the victims are abandoned hosts, when the trill seeks a change of identity.

GNN, Rigel-II
Con-Am, The Consortium of Amalgomated Resource Collectors, one of the largest producers of mineral resources, closed down it's operations in the Rigel asteroid belt today.

Con-Am provides some of the lowest priced consumer products in the sector, but citizens of Rigel claim it is due to slave mining practices. Rumors also abound that a union was about to be formed, when the belt mining facility was shut down.

Police boat patrols have increased in system.

GNN, Bolaris IX
Federation Security forces raided a Romulan tavern on Bolaris IX, seizing over 150 tons of Romulan Ale, and putting the shop owner out of business.

Bolaris IX, technically under Romulan jurisdiction, is bordered on all sides by Federation space. The Romulan government says that Romulan-Federation negotions are under way. Charging taxes against the Romulan shop keepers (and splitting it with the Federation) may be a method of reducing Federation raids. The shop keepers disagree, and say that taxing Romulan ale is just another way for the rich to take money from the working class.

GNN, Epsilon Ceti II
The Terran freighter Bath Kol was commissioned today, to ship personnel and much needed supplies to Epsilon Ceti II. The comet Dark Angel which sweeps close to the planet once every 64 years, will cause terrible weather conditions and crop losses for the next two growing seasons.

Couldn't they just tractor the comet out of the way? Or use weather control stations?
