Kuat Drive Yards has seen a slight dip in its stock value this week, following a slow start to trading as the company shows lower than average sales for the quarter. The Yards, which is still struggling following decades of a decline in galactic arms sales, is set to consolidate in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, the Correlian Engineering Corportation has seen payoffs from its move to commercial liners and pleasure craft, selling primarily into the mid-rim and core, with Siener Fleet Systems struggling to keep up.

Sector Rangers report rise in Rimward Smuggling


FOLLOWING WEEKS OF increased activity across the northern core to mid-rim, the Sector Rangers are said to be struggling under an increasing volume of smuggling, specifically of narcotics and firearms, flowing out of the Core.

The Rangers have not been available to comment, although sources indicate that the Rangers suggest that much of the traffic is heading to the Outer Rim.

With cased of stopped vessels containing illegal items trebling in the past three weeks, there appear to be some large movers of Narcotics and Firearms, shifting shipments across the borders of Hutt Space. Whilst the Rangers have been tight-lipped as to the exact nature of the shipments and their intended destination, sources to HNN have confirmed that the Rangers suspect Hutt involvement.

Speaking to HNN earlier today, shipping cartel operator, Marn Xaxas of the Corell Shipping Cartel had the following to say:

"If Smuggling really is on the rise, we need to be asking ourselves "Who is behind it, and what are they up to?". As far as I am concerned, the Rangers and some of the other groups involved in the stops, planetary fleets and the like, are causing a lot of trouble, and going about this the wrong way. We need to stop it at its source, not disrupt shipping."

Marn Xaxas, speaking earlier today to HNN refused to comment on the Ranger reports that some of his ships had in fact been found with illicit goods in their cargo bays.

OOC: I intend to do these once per week, with some occasional 'Breaking News' should there be a need. If you have stories, please PM me here or DM on Discord. This thread is CLOSED to reactions, but maybe referenced in your own threads.
