MAR 10, 3000

Welcome again to a new edition of InterStellar News!!!


AS versus ID

Well while TF and HoA’s war has seem to slow down a bit, Anla’shok opened fire on Imperial Dreams. It wasn’t a big hit, but still, A’S guys took down 3 Imperials. Conn and Blum both got Stabar at the same time. A few hours later, few AS decided to take down a Imperial Dreams’s planet. While this invasion, Conn added two more heads on his wall: Grog and Crion. A few days later, Blum (AS) got Grpoues (ID), but Dantor took revenge, killing Anarchos in the same day. All this opposition ID/AS started a while ago. It all started when Anarchos, member of Anla’shok was in Space Mercenaries, and Aralis was at the lead of Imperial Dreams. When ID decided to take their HQ to WQ Human galaxy, they wanted him to go out of their space. ID tried their best to get Anarchos out of the WQ space, mining all the main routes. In reply, Anarchos pb their planets repeatedly. Later, when Kojak took leadership of ID, he negotiated a NAP including Anarchos and the whole ID alliance. When Anarchos joined Anla’shok, ID started back to put mines on routes and well the personal war became AS’s war! And this is mostly why there are many combats between those two alliances.


Lot of activity!

Well during march 8th even, universal traders had the chance to see many extra traders in Horsemen of Apocalypse’s roster, but no planet busting came in news? What were they doing? At the same time, we could also see over 20 people from The Forsaken, Dark Shade and Ragnarok online. This seem really strange, especially in the fact nothing happened at all, if we make the exception of a few kills: Chocolate Bunny (AS) getting killed by Mastermind (DS), Interfui0n (AS) killing Imdedsxy and Gilgamesh knocking down silverx (DS). Just to mention that Interfusi0n was seen in HoA while he got the kill.. So well maybe all those online hunters were just a hazard, or maybe they were just expecting something from the other side, but it sure doesn’t happen often to have so much online peeps and no action!


Dark Shade is active!

Dark Shade took a few shots at Anla’shok planet 3625 and 3709, causing the death of 5 Anla’shok members, during march 5th evening.. As ISN knows of, Dark Shade and A’s are engaged in a serious war. This whole war has started a while ago, at the beginning of the Millenium Game. By the end of the night, Dark Shade caused the death of those 5 traders, plus they took down a port in sector 3656. I guess Dark Shade had some turns to spend and they carefully choose their target!

Here is the list of the AS traders that have found death in this incident:

God Justice by Poetry in Motion
Snowball by Imdedsxy
Gwazi by kill me
Astro Creep by Imdedsxy
Corrran by Poetry in Motion

There will probably be a reply from Anla’shok in the few next days to come! Out of this war, Dark Shade seems really active in port raiding! Two days ago, DS hit 3 ports in a row: 1155, 1105 and 1129. Up to now, they seem to be by far the alliance leader in port busting!!!


The Forsaken Leadership

Where is Warlock? Wasn’t he the leader of The Forsaken? It seems he isn’t anymore. Founder of Forsaken in a newbie game, he seems to not have the power anymore. From some sources we have heard he was retired. From other sources, he just slowed down a bit his pace. Well from now on, Rahvin and Imhotep are the new leaders of The Forsaken. They sure meet all components to be a great leadership team! They will sure have the chance to prove their quality in TF/HoA’s war!


Newbie policy

Musealot, leader of Anla’shok, has stated on the Universal Manton Board that Anla’shok would give a NAP to any new alliance out there in Millenium Area. Is this the first move out of many, made by a big alliance to help the newer ones? Now we’ll have to see if it really works… Only time will answer this question. The NAP will give the opportunity to not get killed by AS, during 30 days, the time they find a nice spot to hang out. Lets hope it will be a great thing for newer traders in Millenium Area. Good luck the to idea and newer players!




A good hunting day!

Well seems like yesterday (march 9th), was a good hunting day for Ardbeg from Horsemen of Apocalypse!!! 5 kills in less then 12 hours! Ardbeg is often seen in news, like a bunch of other HoA hunters, and we often see 2-3 kills from each of them a day, but 5 kills is I guess a little special. Here are the ones who felt down in front of his guns: The Shark, The Hellraiser, Neo 1, Lamia and The Hellraiser (yes again!). Congratulations!


SM's Convention!

Yehaaa! As Rogue announced earlier during the week in a message on web board, the second great Space Merchant convention will be held in Champaign, Urbana in IL, from June 29th to 2nd of July. This will be a great time to meet your friends and well maybe to take a revenge on a few enemies! There is a bunch of activities planned for this event:

1. Sword fighting
2. Latin dance lessons
3. Star Wars Trivia
4. Anarchy party!
5. Drinking. (always cool J)
6. Food!!!
7. Some extra drinking!
8. Group hug

This will surely be really interesting and of course entertaining! Especially the drinking part ;) Lets hope to see a bunch of folks there!
