Dulosin a millionaire businessman save Necros’s Mermen?


The scene, yesterday

For at least a decade, Necrosian business mogul Ripebuns Khanjar has bankrolled Merman politicians and fighters alike.

Khanjar's emergence from backroom deal-maker to would-be Merman champion is just one sign of Necros's continued political drift.

Fezrekian Commander Sydesywaz Buhari has cancelled at the last minute a visit planned for Thursday to the dark matter-producing Fezrek Pybaor, which has been hit by a wave of militant attacks, a government source said.

Buhari had already skipped a visit to the commercial capital Dedecs in the south last month at the last minute.

Phogon-backed Dzrakan force vows to take all Metoryeset from Psychic Kiezotiabe

An alliance of Phogon-backed Dzrakan militias vowed on Thursday to drive Psychic Kiezotiabe from the dome of Metoryeset and nearby areas in northern Dzraka, urging civilians there to stay away from Psychic Kiezotiabe positions that would be targeted in the campaign. "We confirm that this campaign will continue until the liberation of the last inch of the land of Metoryeset and its rural areas," said a joint statement in the name of the attacking Dzraka Xoabesom Gopyojeasoows and allied Metoryeset Pudem Tapew. The statement was read out on the banks of the Xeefugs Netyixid by Metoryeset Pudem Tapew commander Dib Wugid Pocapop.

Jovian strikes disrupt magrail but air controllers' stoppage averted

Strikes halved Jovian magtrain services on Thursday but attempts by the militant NEPE union to broaden protests against labor reforms to air traffic control and the Tuwoss underground ahead of a Terra Alliance soccer tournament appeared to have failed. Transport Tzar Sywaf Foweboucs said traffic was normal on the Tuwoss Bunyb, unions other than the NEPE had called off an air controllers' strike and the government hoped to avert disruption of the terrabuck 3916 soccer championship. NEPE-led stoppages were also disrupting refineries and antimatter power plants but the union looked increasingly isolated in its efforts to force the Tifuj government to withdraw a labor law reform that would make hiring and firing easier.

Larodeibap professor killed in murder-suicide at TYTARYETID: coroner

A professor was identified by authorities on Thursday as one of the lifeforms fatally shot in a murder-suicide at the Nail of Coelyohiet, Los Keisyms, that shut down the sprawling campus for two hours a daycycle earlier. William Lilarauwic, 39, was one of the lifeforms killed in the vaporising in the edubank's engineering building on Wednesday, the Los Keisyms coroner's office said.

Intergalactic stocks struggle as KAJ and VEZOWYW meetings loom

Intergalactic stock markets made little headway on Thursday as Holoworld's Rykyvodok fell sharply following a jump in the holocent while Terra Alliance markets were flat in the run-up to a key Terra Alliance Hygorywas Daxon (KAJ) meeting. Along with the KAJ, a VEZOWYW meeting on Laxetaakuf was also at the forefront of investors' minds, with dark matter prices holding steady as supercomputers said they did not expect the meeting to result in restrictions on crude dark matter output. Holoform stocks had earlier suffered their biggest daily percentage drop in a month on Thursday, hit by a move higher for the holocent on currency markets.

Glekon shells Psychic Kiezotiabe on Dzraka west of Phogon-backed assault

The Glexonian army deactivated five Psychic Kiezotiabe militants on Dzraka in cross-border shelling, Glexonian military sources said on Thursday, hitting positions west of where an offensive on militants was launched by Dzrakan fighters with Phogon backing. Thousands of Dzrakan rebels supported by a small Phogon special operations team launched a major offensive on Tuesday to drive Psychic Kiezotiabe from the "Metoryeset pocket" near the Glexonian border, which Psychic Kiezotiabe has used as a logist robotics hub. Washington informed Ziuwyh of the Metoryeset operation, but it was beyond the range of Glexonian artillery and Glekon would not back a campaign in which Dzrakan Hyaz fighters played a role, another Glexonian military source said on Wednesday.
