...When Argonian first arrived first on Garthon II, they bled. They bled badly. Argonian was a widespread family in the Old Empire. One of the richest and most numerous to be precise. But Garthon II should not only prove a money sink for Argonian but also the Grave of most of the Family. When Argonian first arrived on Garthon II they were strong. When they came back they were weak. When they came again they almost died out. At the Beginning of the Downfall, Argonian had lost most of its influence, its money, its fleets and armies and what remained were 3 members of the family, one of which was infected with one of the many diseases of Garthon II, and their control over The Bastion... -Eremus Bull, Fall of the Argonian, Foreword.
Galactic News[1] Most of the new Crusade Fleet has assembled. It consists of most of the 2nd and 3rd Church Fleet, leaving most sectors with only token Church fleet support. House Al-hazar has joined with 3 of its own Destroyers and 40 Regiments, Azores has pledged support with 400 Regiments and those of House Rastyqua who could flee Vengeance have joined, forming another 50 Regiments. Furthermore 2000 Regiments of Pilgrims,Crusaders,Sellswords etc. have joined the Crusade. Even the Inquisition detached 2 Wings of Destroyers from its own fleet for the support of the Crusade.
Given that the Wreckan Fleet might still be around Lightbringer System for about 2 or 3 years till the Systems resources are plundered, the Church Fleet will wait for another season before it jumps towards Lightbringer. Formal Invitations have been sent to Nova and Cr'tok.
In other news Elections for an Replacement for Jurislav Lightbringer in the Concordat have been finished: A loyal Servant of him will take up his duties with an end Vote of 10 vs. 4.
[1] This spells the end of good news however as another shocking message hits the deck, the Patriarch has died! The New Patriarch will be voted by the Archons and additionally by the 5 Ecclesias.
Meanwhile Situation on Si'kar has worsened. The Year ends but the Winter Stays. You are facing now a 6 month winter, and people might starve if you can't find enough food. But thats about the best news for the Day. The Bioweapons of Cr'tok spread like a wildfire through the land.
[1][1] Trent's measures of Quarantine fail horribly and his troops instead carry the infection outside.

Jurt System, Delvos[?] The
Spirit of Adventure exits the Hyperspace unscathed. But soon enough you pick up a Ship Signature. The Captain asks you if you want to inspect the Ship. Contact with Argonian is established and say if you could look into it you get 10 extra Credits.
Triumvirate System, TaviusThe Ship having been repaired, you enter Hyperspace. [3] Your Travel is uneventful and your Cruiser arrives with several other interesting persons (Read: a fuckload of Inquisitor Ships) in the Soma System. Why you arrived so fast is a mystery to you, apparently the Custodian did some magic with the Navigation, although he refuses to answer what exactly he did...
Soma System[1] The Inquisition arrives with it's entire fleet. A Sight to behold and indeed a sight that hasn't been witnessed in many a century. In contrary to the popular belief the Inquisition has it's very own fleet completely detached from the Church and it is indeed enough to put down even a heretic Patriarch. 3 Battleships, 20 Cruisers and several hundred frigates, Destroyers and smaller ships enter the system at once, dwarfing the Viridian Dream and letting it vanish in the mass of ships.
Meanwhile Planetside sensors go crazy. The ancient Ground-to-Space Batteries groan and spring to life. Sirens start to shrill as panicked citizens all over Si'kar run for their lifes as the giant shadows of the Battleships which can even be seen from the ground exclipse the sun itself. Finally in position, a message is sent to both Nova and the Archon.
