Chavez assault waves desperate to reclaim this strategic chokepoint between the Alpha Centauri and Jotunheim gates unleash volleys of beams and missiles that are nearly as destructive as a roll of wet toilet paper while their coalition attackers respond with weapons powerful enough to crack the crust of planet Primus.

Coalition forces were rocked by news of their 2nd and 3rd casualties from the invasion. An as yet unidentified Legate and Magister Magna, who haven't responded to hails for the last 24 hours, had thier vessels investigated by sabine reclaimers. Whereupon they were discovered electrocuted in their cockpits from puddles of drool that had seeped into control panels and had come into contact with the power couplings.

The other pilots in the fleet, their minds possibly adversely affected by the stresses of non-stop combat, began immediately flooding the local comm channels with hysterical laughter upon hearing of the grisly deaths of their comrades. The usual assortment of insults and teasing could be heard echoing through the local channels for several minutes after the reclaimers towed the stricken vessels back to Arx Ymir.

Progen authorities announced that since the two had perished in what was technically a state of combat with a hostile aggressor force that they would be subjected to the standard "call forward" procedure. They are now back with the coalition fleet, but have refused requests for comment on the incident.

This is Proconsul Bluddstaurm embedded (and I mean literally "emBEDded") with the coalition fleet at Freya Nav 5.
