FEDERAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT HQ, MANTON PRIME: Federal researchers confirmed that the ARMS RACE SUPERWEAPON has been stolen from Federal Weapons Test Center in Salzig. Several reports from alliance leaders suggest that the weapon has been used in several recent planetary attacks by "unknown" forces. Alliance leaders are working to counter the threat. In a surprising move, Federal Authorities have decided not to act with alliance leaders to secure its return, leading some to believe that the Federal Government is behind its loss and in turn the recent planet attacks. Many have suspected that the Federal Government has been secretly aiding certain alliances to weed out certain "undesirables" from the Space Merchant ranks. |
