### A new species discovered!

A species of space born creatures has been discovered in the Ziva system. At first ignored as asteroids surrounding the gas giant Borr, further scanning has shown that these beings are non-sentient and the size of small frigates. They seem to exist on photosynthesis and gas harvested from the outer edges of Borr's atmosphere. Early scientific reports indicate that these creatures, which have been opened to the Radiance community for naming, are safe for human consumption and have been proposed as a supplement for the Radiance's own food supplies. Reports from the scientists scanning the creatures indicate that they are not only delicious, but seem to have positive influences on the crew’s mental health, psychological reports showing a marked increase in life satisfaction and overall happiness.

### Skirmishing on the Radiance

Enforcers from Lewis, Louis and Luis have clashed with gangs in the lower levels of the Radiance's engineering sector. A spokesperson from Lewis, Louis and Luis claim that the gangs were extorting citizens on the behalf of LBG. LBG have denied any ties with the gangs, stressing that they only have dealings with groups that stay on the right side of the law.

### ATTENTION ALL PERSONNEL

A NON-HUMAN RACE HAS MADE CONTACT WITH THE RADIANCE. ALL NON-AUTHORISED PERSONEL ARE TO STAY CLEAR OF HANGAR 18B AND EMBASSY AREAS UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

### News from home!

Communications from the Solar System indicate that a small support fleet will be following in the Radiance's footsteps. Stopping first at Radiant 1, the first neutral space station of humanities further colonisation of the galaxies. Modern humanities first foothold in the Spinward Marches, will afford any explorers further chances to explore surrounding systems and give rich tourists a chance to see the distant planets without the discomfort of shipboard life!

### New Embassy Open

A new embassy office has been opened for the two members of The Sulvitaris Council that are currently residing on The Radiance. Audience by prior appointment only.

### Contact Established with the descendants of the Xenu’s Promise

A team of representatives visited the colony world of Mikula re-establishing contact with the Galactic Confederacy colonists of the Xenu’s Promise. After meetings with the leadership faster than light communications was deemed acceptable and should be operational in the coming weeks, the group withheld judgement on faster than light travel technology after some concerns with the colonies motives.

Further investigation showed that the colonist have been in contact with the beetle like alien race found in the Ziva and Myesyats systems and worship them as gods. The team also recovered a seemingly pre-human entity who called themselves the Judge, they have been through quarantine procedures and are now working with top scientists to provide long sort after answers.

### Two sentient species discovered!

Over the past few weeks two sentient species have been met and interacted with. The first have colonised the Ziva and Myesyats systems, they are large Arthropod-type species much like beetles from earth. Though there are variants most have six identical seemingly dual-purpose limbs, their carapace suggests wings but this trait has not been visualised. Their chitin itself is iridescent much like Anoplognathus pallidicollis. Communication has been made with this species via pictograms drawn in the sand and a full disposition examination is still underway, at this time we know very little about their culture. The members of the Sulvitaris Council have advised that this species is called the Trystakur.

The second sentience was discovered in a crashed spaceship and was rescued and returned to the Radiance. This species seems to be some kind of intelligent flora that resembles the water lily (Nymphaeaceae) though with a much larger leaf presence on the surface and larger more prehensile roots submerged in the water. The species displays a unique trait of being able to change the colour of its leaves at will and used this to communicate with the exploration team. The Sulvitaris Council advised this species call themselves the Nympilium and their homeworld can be found in the Spinward Marches, however they were unwilling at this time to provide specific coordinates. The recovered Nympilium can currently be found in the establishment of Aragorn Aquila however, negotiations are underway to move it to an established embassy.

### Missing Scout Ship

A scout ship and its crew dispatched by the Society of Intergalactic Chroniclers to Ipabog is now eight days overdue after being sent to document a ruined city located on one of Orthrus’ moons. More information to follow.

### New Faction gaining Traction

Members of a new faction calling themselves the Human Primaris group have set up a small temple in the engineering decks of the Radiance. The group stresses that their intentions are not violent; they simply seek to ensure human lives are prioritised when incidents regarding xenos happen.
