20:00 Hours, August 12th, Placid Region.
Responding to a tip from Federation Customs agents capsuleer forces from Acheron Federation, Dark Star LTD, Illoren, Lutin Group, TAKAGI Corp, and The Cyrene Initiative intercepted a Serpentis task force carrying a large shipment of narcotics into the Placid region.
During the ensuing battle the majority of Serpentis vessels were destroyed with one of the only only surviving vessels being a Serpentis carrier that was intercepted and held in deep space by the capsuleer forces while Federation Customs forces negotiated the surrender of its pilot.
Upon boarding the carrier Federation Customs found the vessel to be "loaded to the bilge" with a harmful new drug know simply as RISE. The vessels captain was taken into custody and shall soon stand trial with the carrier serving as evidence in the trial.
Although many of the pilots in the capsuleer forces were dismayed to see Federation Customs seize the carrier as evidence rather than put it to use in the defence of the region most agreed the Placid region is likely to benefit from the removal of this carrier from Serpentis possession and hope that this will slow the Serpentis Corporations unethical business practices in the region. --------------------------- absit iniuria verbis |

That carrier is just a down payment on what Serpentis owes the Federation. And with all the pilots of the Placid Militia willing to stand up to these gangsters, along with the kind of force Fed Customs has been showing lately, Serpentis should just stay in Fountain.
Placid should be for legitimate business, not drug-running.

From the desk of Eric Lupanasia:
Well done, all, well done indeed. Strikes like this may not stop the Serpentis Corporation, but every sting they feel, every obstacle placed in their path, means innocent lives are saved. I applaud your efforts and hope that, in the future, I may be able to contribute to them. -------------------

Congratulations to the Placid Milita on a job well done. I enjoyed flying with you folks the few times I was engaged in militia activities. Keep up the fight and I am sure you will overcome.

Have you wondered who's paying for the RISE?
I doubt it's in Serpentis interests to flood a market with such a large shipment. Profits are made through market management on a smaller scale.
I'd question who's buying the stuff...

We are wondering about this, but so far we have no substantial facts for suspecting a group or single person. Our objective is being fulfilled either way, the buyer doesn't gets that shipment (or the next ones, Serpentis be sure of that).

Indeed, who the buyer for a shipment of this size must be a priority to find out, but for now however, we are pleased about if nothing else having kept it away from our streets and young. ---

Exceptionally, I wish to congratulate Federal Loyalist forces in this action. This kind of police action is both to the benefit of all, and non intrusive in other empires internal affairs.
Whatever the other faults of the federation in Placid, it cannot be said that federal pod pilots do not help the people of Placid. With my respect,

Although Placid is not our main region of operation, TAKAGI Corp is proud to have helped the Federation authorities, for once active against piracy.
"The power gained now by huges pirates organisations threatens every single being in this galaxy, analyses Shinji Takagi, CEO of TAKAGI Corp. For one carrier loaded with RISE intercepted, how many did the Serpentis pass thru the Customs hands ? And even that such powerful asset like a battle carrier in the hands of a known pirate and criminal gang like the Serpentis should be disturbing enough to call for more active actions against them. We are eagerly awaiting the Senate's response on this matter. A Federation like ours cannot rely on private corporations to enforce its safety on this scale."
About Takagi Corp Takagi Corp (SDQ :TAKAG) "Manning Federations' outposts" is a privately-owned corporation. Led by its main shareholder, Admiral Shinji Takagi (Takagi Holding & Invest), based in Grinacanne, Tagaki Corp made a global business of 1579.5 billions ISK for fiscal year 23345.

I would not be the least surprised if some of the "honourable" agents of the Federation that reside in and around the Osmeden-Orvolle environs were the ones expecting such a shipment. During my indentured servitude to those scoundrels, requests were made of me by these agents for various illicit substances.
That the substance known as RISE may or may not be harmful is of no concern to me. The hypocrisy of the Federation is the more glaring of issues, however.
I would venture to say that the Federation felt using well-meaning capsuleers to capture a shipment without having to actually pay for the cargo was preferable to being exposed as doing business with the so-called pirate organization. Seizing a carrier was just icing on the cake, I imagine.
To the capsuleers who serve those devils that sit in the halls of power within the Federation: Beware of the distant elites that pull your strings. Once you are no longer of use to them, you may find yourself on the receiving end of their political wrath.

Fantastic news. I don't think any law abiding capsulier will find anything to begrudge over this news. Well done. ----- *results may vary*

congratulations on a sucessful mission, but a haul that size next time will most likely be more heavily guarded if they are willing to learn from there mistakes, as i doubt the buyer of all that RISE will be happy with the fantastic result seen here,

That is a very interesting take, Able. It would be a bitter pill to swallow if it were true. As of now, the only real sin I've seen of the Agents we've worked with to be pride, not much else.
Never a threat, but always a thorn in the side. |

Yeah, well that and the fact that they were real jerks.
I mean when they hauled me in for our last "meeting" they didn't even bother playing good cop/bad cop. They just went bad cop/bad cop. By the end of our meeting they were just being plain insulting.
I would love to say that what Federal Customs agents lacked in manners they made up for in efficiency but that wouldn't really be true now would it? --------------------------- absit iniuria verbis |

I believe Able is talking about agents who hire capsuleer pilots for various tasks. These have been known to have various... faults. For instance I was frequently asked to transport slaves to various Caldari agents I have worked for. Complaints filed against these agents invariably got lost in the bureaucratic threadmill.

RISE you say? Intriguing. Were any samples of the drug captured by involved capsuleers?

Well, those scoundrels have become quite adept at covering their tracks, so my inference is not based on any particular evidence, but only on personal experience.

I don't know if I would characterize the desire for "illicit" substances a fault, Pytria. And "fault" is too mild a word for the blatant hypocrisy that Federation agents display.
Serpentis Corp. is an easy target to criticize in the Federation; it's status as "Most Valuable Pariah" serves those Distant Elites in the seats of power that desire to distract their own citizenry from the malfeasance and lack of honor of their leadership.

Congratulations to all capsuleers involved in the capture of this load of drugs.
I just wished i was there at the time but my capsuleer time for that day was over as i already crossed the safe amount of time to stay within a capsule. Good job anyhow, and hopefully i will be able to do my part in these actions soon!

Relieved to hear you say that Mithrantir, since both my memory and my ship's comm logs say something quite different to what's reported in that article. I'll stop worrying that I'm hallucinating, then.

Typical really. Even when both sides have representation in a news item, both will agree to disagree on the details fo the report.

Such contraversy over ridding the world of drug traders! Clearly the free thinking individuals of Placid understand that we're ridding this place of a vile and deadly substance. One has to wonder where the naysayers motives are coming from. Perhaps we have confiscated your shipment and you want it back!
