KrathNet News Update – Y26 Current Events
Greetings and welcome to KrathNet news, the only true news source you ever need!
Our top story, Krath achieves a magnificent victory in the Serroco expanse. We go now live to our war correspondent Minister Pythol Kar:
“They speak of victory, yet they ran like cowards. They speak of plunder, yet lost as much as they gain. The battle against the infidels of the Shadow Dominion speaks louder than their hollowed whimpers. In the expanse of Serroco they fired their ship cannons at those they thought inferior to them. Confident in their wealth earned ships. The mighty credit was their blade that they postured with like a child holding a gnarled branch. So much bravado, so much swagger in their step. It counts for not when a true force of warriors stood before them.”
“Hark and hear my words people of the Krath Empire! These fools of the Dominion saw themselves as fierce until they felt the precision strike of our might Legion! Our legionaries flew into the system with our ATR-6s and demonstrated our superiority with the burning hot barrels of our turboblasters. These paper nexu were burdened with fear for they lacked the blessing of our Lady! For we are the legion bearing the torch of chaos. Held high we spread it across the fields of the void. While our foes panicked in the torrent of flames we feared not! We are the Lady’s people and she is chaos and war incarnate! No true believer would wallow in terror like the Dominion. Thus these infidels felt the cut of our blasters and fled like the bantha they are. We will not let our crusade across the stars end here, no no! Will shall bear this torch of chaos to every corner of the galaxy until all know the Lady’s grace and wraith!”
“All hail Krath, all hail the Imperial Council, all hail the Lady!”
A formal honouring ceremony is expected to take place in the coming weeks to recognise the exceptional work of those who contributed to this magnificent campaign.
In religious news, a conclave of senior officials from the Order of Krath has been called to discuss matters of faith. On the agenda, proposals and reformation aimed to boost fervour in these ever trying galactic times. In an official statement from the clergy:
“While we are still finalising details I can assure the citizens that our faith and devotion has not been found lacking to Krath and remains as strong as ever. Indeed we are working on new projects to further show our resolve, with large construction projects intended to demonstrate our glory.”
And finally in business news, we announce the departure of Ankh Anu from their position as director of Uukaablian Medical Corporation to be replaced by up and coming corporate hotshot, Executive Kadross Pyress.
In a statement from the Ministry of the Economy;
“Kadross has long been admired as an example of exceptional devotion to duty with a keen eye for detail and enthusiasm, important qualities in an ever changing galaxy. We are confident that in their new role as director, they will continue to drive innovation which will see the corporation flourish.”
We at KrathNet bid them further success.
The Legion Marches
KrathNet Press Release, Y26 D254 Shesharile 3:
At the start of day 253, the office of the Emperor released a report documenting the first extra-national military operation the Holy Krath Legion has engaged in since year 17. Legion forces, accompanied by the Emperor and the First Paladin themselves, arrived in the Serroco system to provide military support to Endor Pact allies Czerka Corporation and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Early intelligence reports from these allies indicated heavy engagements against Son-Tuul Pride and other Shadow Dominion heretics. Krath officials indicate that the order to deploy to the Serroco system came approximately 14 days ago with Legion forces arriving in the early hours of day 243 to reinforce Endor Pact efforts in the system.
KrathNet media footage obtained from the engagement appeared to show the exceptional speed and ferocity by which Legion forces deployed, utilising superior tactics against the lumbering corvette assets of Son-Tuul. The timely arrival of the Legion proved decisive, effectively neutralising heretical forces of the Shadow Dominion and helping to deliver a swift and decisive end to the conflict in what could have otherwise drawn out into further losses on all sides. Within days of the entrance of Krath Forces enemy forces appeared to make a full retreat, with scouts reporting no signs of enemy contacts for over 48 hours. Reports indicate that Endor Pact forces suffered modest losses until the arrival of Legion forces, turning the tide as Krath added the finishing touches to the tally with over 150 heretic vessels destroyed including a number of auxiliary corvettes and gunboats. Intelligence analysts are following up as to the long term impact of these losses on future operations launched by the Shadow Dominion, which has historically had a weak economic infrastructure.
Field reporters had an opportunity to interview Pilus Prior Braki Bafor who serves as the commander of the Qel-Droma United Assembly and he had this to say about Legion operations in the system: “I couldn’t be more proud of our ever fervent Legionnaires who so eagerly met the heathens head on; their cunning performance is a stark reminder for the rest of the galaxy. When the [Holy Krath Legion] shows up, you go home.”
Following the return of the Legion task force from Serroco, the First Paladin and Emperor hosted a press conference broadcast from the Tetan Palace. Kicking off the conference, the Emperor, his Majesty Talak Kasra, was asked about his thoughts on the results of the operation to which he stated “Krath has a long history of conflict, not knowing the taste of defeat on the battlefield in many years indeed. When the call to action was issued by Czerka Corp and the Confederacy we knew that it was time for the Legion to make itself known to the wider galaxy again. We arrived and in short order established such dominance on the battlefield as to halt the engagement entirely, bringing an end to what would otherwise have been a drawn out bloodbath, costing even more brave souls their lives. It was an honor to fight alongside members of the Pact and we look forward to future operations.” At the closing of the press conference, the ever-honorable First Paladin Calgor Grim gave a sermon to the victory of Lady Krath and her allies, culminating in a quote which has been ringing throughout the Empire since the conference came to a close: “[…] we are the fire of Righteousness, bringing deliverance to heretics and savages who would plague this galaxy; against those who would seek to harm Krath and her allies! When confronted by such foes, our victory is always assured!”
KrathNet News Update – Lord Zilak to step down
The Krath government confirmed the formal resignation of former Lord Imperator Zilak Pindall in a statement outside the Shesharile Royal Palace earlier today.
Taking time to praise the former lord for their services to Krath, a government spokesperson advised that:
“[Zilak] has taken the difficult decision to step down from the high council to pursue personal endeavours. We would like to thank him for his services to the Empire and wish him well.”
Since taking office over a year ago (KrathNet article), former Lord Zilak has been credited with a number of strategic and organisational innovations to the Krath military, with the reinvigoration of the Holy Krath Legion and introduction of a new task force system which has been hailed by military officials as helping to further improve Krath’s military response capabilities.
His work on advanced military theory and deep insights of Krath combat capabilities over the last 13 months has helped highlight strengths as well as pinpoint areas for further improvements which will continue to benefit the defence of the Empire against all who would threaten it.
At this time, no further details have been announced as to a future successor for the title.
