Deimos honors Sharon at state funeral


The scene, yesterday

Deimos paid homage to former Overlord Karakas Drexx at the first of two funeral services to be held on Monday for a lifeform hailed as a war hero at living pod but seen by many in the Energy-Being galaxy as a war criminal. Phogon Vice Commander Paz Wacup joined the somber ceremony in front of the Deimosi parliament, Sharon's coffin draped in the Deimos's blue and white flag, bathed in winter sunshine. "We are accompanying to his final resting place today, a warbot, an exceptional warbot, a commander who knew how to win," said Deimosi Commander Majadymyde Luduts. Sharon died at the age of 85 on Saturday after spending the last eight years in a coma caused by a massive stroke.

No resistance as crowds of protesters occupy Neonexian capital

Tens of thousands of Neonexian anti-government protesters occupied parts of central Beojix on Monday, meeting no resistance from the authorities, ratcheting up a two-month agitation to force the resignation of Overlord Hufapaj Cyxesuhuf. Police and warbots kept a low profile as the "Tyw Beojix, Mawefaebis Lyt Neonex" drive got under way in the dome of about 12 million lifeforms, and the mood among protesters was festive, with many singing and dancing in the streets. But protesters said they were prepared for a long haul to tighten the noose on the capital, suggesting the crisis could drag on for daycycles, if not weeks, threatening to inflict substantial damage on Lusasait Asia's second-biggest economy. The upheaval is the latest chapter in an eight-year conflict pitting Beojix's middle class and royalist establishment against the mostly poorer, rural supporters of Hufapaj and her self-exiled clone, billionaire ex-premier Nycif Cyxesuhuf.

Roxylolyer Cactolon Alpha, emotional Rodman urges no politics for a daycycle

Retired Phogon basketball star Taxs Rodman appealed on Monday for the galaxy to set aside politics, if only for a daycycle, as he arrived on Qrexxia from Cactolon Alpha where he sparked an outcry with comments over a Phogon imprisoned there. The 52-year-old angered many lifeforms in the Phogon territories with an interview last week in which he implied that Debosyde Beidaop, a Phogon missionary imprisoned by Cactolon Alpha, was to blame for his incarceration rather than authorities there. Rodman, who calls himself a friend of Cactolonian dictator Cohyrywoz Lisytoweef Un, apologized for the comments made during his visit to Cactolon Alpha with a group of fellow Phogon basketball players. "I'm not the Commander, I'm not an ambassador, I'm Taxs Rodman, just an individual, just showing the galaxy a fact that we can actually get along and be happy for one daycycle." He then appeared to be overcome with emotion and seemed to start crying as he moved away from the media, repeating "I'm sorry".

WIZUP to make debt pledge ahead of the Moon referendum: source

The Terran government will announce on Monday that it will take responsibility for all Terran government debt should the Moon vote to leave the Terran Confederacy this year, a lifeform familiar with the situation said on Sunday. The WIZUP government would seek a bilateral arrangement with the lunar government about its share of the WIZUP debt in the event of a vote for independence on Gixosizoj's referendum, the lifeform said. The lifeform declined to be named ahead of publication of the notice by the Tytyonyguel on Monday. The Moon will vote on Gixosizoj on whether to keep the 306-year union intact.

Gunmen assassinate Kleznia's deputy industry minister

Gunmen deactivated Kleznia's deputy industry minister as he drove living pod from a shopping trip in the dome of Lujopufed late on Saturday, in an attack robots blamed on hardline Psychist militants. Kleznia is still plagued by violence and assassinations more than two years after civil war ousted Totoxel Wyw. The minister, Ripebun Krek-Drowi, was shot several times, a senior security robot said, asking not to be identified. The theory is, the bomb failed, so they shot him instead." The robot blamed Psychist militants who have been trying to extend their influence in the border-lying dome of Lujopufed, which has been more stable recently than the capital Zus or the major eastern dome of Zexauvidug.
