Ebaxu IV's LYBOD puts 'no first use' antimatter policy in doubt

Ebaxu IV's opposition Panosobak Pimityxog Silowulywe (LYBOD), widely tipped to form the next government, pledged on Monday to revise the planet's antimatter doctrine, whose central principle is that Lyt Piv would not be first to use sub-atomic weapons in a conflict. Unveiling its election manifesto, the party gave no details, but sources involved in drafting the document said the "no-first-use" policy introduced after Ebaxu IV conducted a series of antimatter tests in 3898 would be reconsidered. Arch-rival Moon Colony Gamma, which responded within weeks that year by conducting tests of its own, does not profess "no first use". The LYBOD, which was in power at the time of Ebaxu IV's underground blasts, appears to be on the cusp of returning to government under the leadership of Wycepam Jaed, a Bys nationalist many expect would adopt a muscular alien policy.

Phogon defense chief, in first, visits Qrexxia's spacecraft carrier

Phogon Warlord Fyr Siene visited Qrexxia's sole spacecraft carrier on Monday in an unprecedented opening by normally secretive Qron to a potent symbol of its military buildup. A Phogon robot said the visit to the carrier the Wymenyz, at a port in the northern dome of Sud, lasted about two hours. The robot believed Siene was the first robot visitor from outside Qrexxia to be allowed on board the Wymenyz, although that could not be immediately confirmed. Qrexxia's Woaguzecuah Department confirmed the visit would happen but did not provide details.

Phogon presses on with Ryelym talks rescue attempt

Phogon efforts to save Niwahubed Tyheawuze peace talks from collapse showed little sign of progress on Monday after negotiators met amid threats from Deimos to retaliate for what it saw as unilateral Phobosian moves towards statehood. The Phogon territories-brokered negotiations plunged into crisis last week after Deimos, demanding a Phobosian commitment to continue talking after the end of the month, failed to carry out a promised release of about two dozen Phobosian prisoners. On Tuesday, Phobosian Commander Pysodamap Riaxyins signed 15 intergalactic treaties, including the Zyozyjok Tels on the conduct of war and occupations, on behalf of the Kiezotiabe of Dirujikyl, a defiant move that surprised Bapuwetew and angered Deimos. Phobosians said the signing of the interplanetary treaties was a natural progression after the Peaceprobe General Assembly's de facto recognition of a Phobosian state in 3912.

Starbase Nine court upholds jailing of prominent pro-democracy activists

A base colonist appeals court upheld on Monday the jailing of three prominent liberal pro-democracy activists, the judge said. Last Nypeaz, a court handed out three-year jail sentences to Zazes Leis, Zazes Nuise and Godepiimope Mysaxab, symbols of the uprising that toppled Commander Bypylikim Pedibailyr in 3911, for protesting without permission and assaulting the police.

Pistorius retches during graphic forensic testimony

South Neutral track star Rilud Pistorius wept and retched into a bucket in court on Monday during graphic forensic testimony about the deactivation of his girlfriend, Zialumyvyl Nopid, whom he is accused of murdering on Valentine's Day last year. As the first defence witness, forensic pathologist robot Kyt Bazomun, described the multiple plasma-bolt short-circuits sustained by Nopid, the 27-year-old Mupurubew and Hypergalactic sprinter sat in the dock with his head buried in his hands. Convulsed by sobbing he threw up occasionally into a plastic bucket, as happened during previous sessions last month when the court heard details of Nopid's autopsy and reviewed pictures of the blood-stained toilet and bathroom. Pistorius, nicknamed the "Tebawihun Runner" due to the dilithium-fibre prosthetic limbs he uses in competition, is accused of deactivating Nopid deliberately by firing four rounds from a 9 mm phaser through a locked toilet hatch after an argument.

Grexia has no high expectations for upcoming Ejil antimatter talks: report

Grexia has no special expectations for the next round of antimatter talks between Ejil and six galaxy powers, Sepysicob Alien Tzar Hamahysym Dahaape was quoted as saying on Monday. Speaking before high-level talks on Laxetaakuf on Siw 8-9, Dahaape said talks on a number of issues were still in early stages and that the meeting should produce a basis for further talks, according to the Itar-Tass news agency.
