SynTek calls for reevaluation of mechanoid assault droid laws

"After losing control of yet another mining/refinery plant on the outlying worlds, the SynTek Megacorporation is calling for the Interstellar Alliance to reevaluate its laws on military androids. Law currently prohibits any non-IAF party from manufacturing or deploying mechanoids capable of harming biological lifeforms and even the IAF has only used its military droids on remote worlds with minimum civilian exposure."

"These tight laws have been in place since the Rosebloom Pleasure World Massacre of '84, in which a single malfunctioning droid destroyed the Starport and communications array, then systematically killed over a million tourists before it was disabled by a group of IAF marines on shore leave."

Swarm activities on the increase, human casualties at an all time high

"More outlying human colonies have fallen to Swarm attacks this month, the most notable of which being the research base of Tau Ceti 5. This base was known for its intensive research on the alien threat, having produced a number of papers on their behaviour and biological makeup, information the ISAF paid a great deal for. It's unknown whether the attack on this base was caused by the recent presence of a number of recently captured live bugs or whether it was just a random attack."

Swarm attack claims 'Indestructable' Passenger Ship

"After an impressive launch last October, the interstellar long-distance passenger ship 'Titanic' fell victim to a vicious Swarm attack. Despite Spacefarer Inc.'s best attempts to build an impenetrable sleeper ship, the bugs still managed to puncture the hull and kill all 15,000 civilians resting in hypersleep and the skeleton crew. The ship was found drifting off course near the Alpha Minor star system, where IAF forces have commandeered the vessel until further notice."

Alpha Prison Riots

"IAF reports riots on the prison colony of Alpha 7826-X in the Luyten system. A squad of marines were dispatched this morning to resecure the colony, under orders to terminate any uncooperative in-mates. The planet's automated orbital security systems have already taken out two shuttles attempting to leave the surface of the planet without proper authorisation codes. It is assumed that all current prison guards on the colony have been killed in the riots."
