We interrupt this broadcast for important breaking news from the Vega system ...

The Progen-controlled Primus sectors of the Vega system are apparently under heavy attack by V'rix invasion forces, according to several Net-7 reporters in the area. Initial reports indicate that massive numbers of V'rix forces are pouring into the sectors and attacking everything in their path.

On Primus planet itself, the Progen base Praetorium Mons is under heavy siege and defense forces appear to be vastly outnumbered. Unconfirmed reports also say that large numbers of non-combatants are attempting to flee the base, but all escape routes off the planet have been blockaded by the invaders.

All available Centuriata warriors and support units have been summoned to Primus' defense, but whether they can arrive in enough force, and quickly enough to hold the planet, remain to be seen. Those Progen already at the scene of the invasion are said to be fighting valiantly, but against overwhelming force.

Sources within the Jenquai and Terran governments said they have been contacted by Progen authorities, but whether or not the Progen have asked for emergency assistance is unclear. Progen operations and communications appear to be in disarray as the Republic reacts to this invasion.

Net-7 has numerous teams of reporters en route to the Vega system to complement those already on the scene. We are also attempting to get a live report from Praetorium Mons, but have thus far been unable to establish a reliable communications link.

Stay tuned to Net-7 as we bring you comprehensive coverage of this ongoing invasion.
