===Eyes on the Next Conquest===
Mobile Base Alpha, Commander Office
1st Regiment Chappy’s Revenge
Mitchella, Freedom Federation
October 12th, 3030
Colonel Scragg looked at the map of the planet and was pleased what little resistance left was holed up in the capital. 
One more battle and the planet was liberated. News of other planets being liberated and then planet governments asking to join the Federation finally came down on the HPG news wire. 
Looks like there were only two planets left of the Outworlds once she took care of the holdouts. 
Movement order came down the wire too after this mission her next liberation was the capital itself, Alpheratz. Curious though the Command Regiment was initially slotted to run point of the invasion of Alpheratz, but now the 2nd Regiment was going to assist with herself being overall commander. 
What was even more curious was the Command Regiment was taken off all movement notification and was just listed as unavailable.

“Hello everyone, welcome to the show. In a rare event we would like to say on the day of Eid al-Adha, second day of Hanukkah, and first day of the twelve days before Christmas Happy Holidays and may I wish you well every year.” The commentator paused for a few seconds then continued. “Now on to some political and war news. Today the top press secretary for the President of the Federation stated that all, but two planets of the former Outworlds Alliance had been liberated, the process of turning all the planets into full fledged members is well on its way. Also, there was an announcement that exploration of former planets that were part of the Alliance some 250 years ago will start at the beginning of the year to find out what happen to those on the planets and reconnect with all that want to join the Federation. No one has heard from General Chapman’s office other than statements that he is busy with plans to strengthen the borders from all enemies and to the military is well supply during these months of war. Which in my opinion is great but I also would like to see our heroes from time to time it has been four months since seeing him and that was for the interview done by INN.” In other news…

“Yesterday, the state-run news organization for the Freedom Federation stated that more conquest will continue into the next year with no end in sight.” 
“The question I would like to impose is how long COMSTAR can sit by idly and let the Federated Suns and the Freedom Federation to continue their warmongering.”

“Today is a sad day here at the station. This will be our last broadcast, since we are closing the doors and leaving Sian. With the Federated Sun military just a jump away from Sian and the nation about one-fifth the size it was before 3028 it is time to think about our safety. If you value yours, we recommend leaving before the Sian has been captured and reeducation camps are set up. With the Free Worlds League in way of the Duchy of Andurien taking over six planets we recommend the realm of Aurigan Coalition.”
