Editing Mutineers Summer of Sedition (section)

= Red Sun =
Tensions rise as New Kalmar tests the will, since the might is no question, of the Alliance to deal with this small challenger.<br>
 
*'''Jiang Yin''' - Residents of Fort Jackson requested Alliance protection after raiding parties from the outskirts increased their attacks. The Alliance sent in a small cadre of Federal Marshals to protect the city.
*'''New Melbourne''' - N/A
*'''Greenleaf''' - Several high profiles assassinations have discouraged businesses from establishing offices on this resource rich world.
*'''Dyton''' - The IAV Portsmouth, an Alliance Fast Corvette, orbited the moon for one week, sending ASREVs and fighters down below. It did not dock in port, or hail nearby ships (except with the ubiquitous automated proximity warning.)
*'''Harvest''' - The 100,000 ton bulk freighter Amber Waves was  accosted by pirates and hijacked. The ship's crew of twenty five sailors were dropped of in an shuttle and were able to land safely on Harvest. The ship left the scene, destination unknown. A large vessel such as that cannot hide for long. The Alliance scrambled several long range patrol vessels to seek out the freighter. So far no luck finding it.
*'''Higgin's Moon''' - Several weeks worth of ceramics were recalled due to defects stemming from impurities in the "mud." Authorities have not ruled out sabotage.
*'''St. Albans''' - Massive explosions rock St. Albans, yet again.
*'''Anson's World''' - Locals on the moon Steele, reported a gathering of over forty small spaceships, of varying design at the site of the old Magistrates estate (now in ruins). Rumor spread of a meeting of the Independent Leadership on the site of the beginning of the U-War.
*'''Jubilee''' - Blue Sun subsidiary - Agricorp, was spun off as its own company (Blue Sun still holds a minority stake). However, it immediately fell on hard times, when its local headquarters was stormed by disgruntled employees (to be let go after the spin off) and several of its executives were publicly killed.
*'''Aesir''' - Forces of New Kalmar introduced a series of high energy military satellites similar to those used to protect Ares. They claim the beam weapons can immobilize or destroy a ship as far away as 10,000 km. These demonstrated on an remotely piloted surplus Alliance Gunboat some 5,000 km from the planet. Skeptics point to the difficulty of using the system in the orbit of a protostar like Himinbjorg (lots of cover). 
*'''Moab''' - Locales reported seeing midbulk ships flying deep in the heart of Moab without radio contact.
*'''Brisingamen''' - Local authorities have conscripted a compulsory militia, arming the citizens of every town and village. It is believed that each village is also equipped with an anti-ship missile system, though that claim seems unlikely.
*'''Anvil''' - Rumor has it Anvil is being used to shelter pirate (and pirated) ships. It is virtually impossible to use sensors to sweep the planet, and dangerous to attempt orbits.
*'''Triumph''' - A string of reciprocal killings has swept through several towns on Triumph. The victims appear to be suspected Independent agents, or suspected Alliance operatives as both try to secure popular support (or fear) on the planet.
*'''Paquin''' - Paquin has become more dangerous in the last few months as armed insurgents have targeted Alliance outposts around the major city. In response, the Alliance has cracked down on movement, and attempted to enforce a curfew in the cities along with roadblocks and no-fly zones around the major cities. These are fairly porous, and served more to filter cash into the pockets of enterprising people who know how to sneak people into the cities. Despite the regular fire of weapons, and the boom of bombs, life goes on.
*'''Lazarus''' - ANS has been given local authority over the moon Lazerus to use as a supply deport for Alliance Military operations in the system. The ANS uses a combination of brute force, and heavy bribery to maintain a stable climate for its operations.
*'''Silverhold''' - An entire Division of Alliance Army has hunkered down and set up camp on the small moon, along with support vessels and transports. The Navy maintains orbital support.
