Frontline news (the Viking view) Last month 2408.1 (didn't have a look at the new turn yet):

Last month another brave battle was fought be Viking forces in the Aldan system. On Aldan III a fleet with a humanitarian mission to evacuate all Dragon civilists was attacked by Dragon forces. The Viking fleet was hopelessly outnumbered and outgunned. It consisted only of two Jarlsund LC and three Halden DS, while the Dragons attacked with a battleship and a battlecruiser backed up by five LC. We feared the Dragons would try to wipe out their own population, so while one LC kept the Dragons busy the other LC covered the retreat of the civilians with help of the destroyers. The Jarlsund fought bravely and was skillfully dodging most shots. Once the unarmed vessels were safe it was joined by the other LC and the destroyers to make sure the Dragons would do no more harm. At the end of the battle all Dragon ships were severely damaged and two destroyed, while all Viking ships remained unscratched and the civilians were safe. At the end of the month the entire Aldan system was liberated from Dragon oppression and the population jubilantly joined the Vikings. They will be welcome members of our clans for their superior trading skills, because we have a great demand for merchants and accountants considering our recent growth.

In the Wanduk system the Viking fleet was defeated by superior Dragon forces. We fear the worst for the people (Vikings and Dragons) in the Wanduk system.

We are truly shocked that the Dragons don't even stop at murdering their own people in their quest for galactic dominance. We have been friends the most time and would have never imagined they were even capable of such atrocities. This tells us that our intervention into Dragon space is a just cause of liberating helpless and oppressed civilians from an evil regime.
Even in the face of the genocide committed by the Dragons we will continue to fight and try to keep collatoral(sp?) damage and civilian losses at a minimum. We will try to take in as many Dragon refugees as possible and ask all other galactic powers to do the same should they seek asylum with you.

We have demanded the surrender of the Dragons to prevent more bloodshed. Hopefully Elder Avatar will come to his senses again or there will be billions of more deaths.

We mourn for the dead and hope they will be safely guided to Valhalla by the Valkyrja,
King Rollo of the Space Vikings
