Fighting continues to break out between Trill and Nernorum as security forces attempt to quell insurrectionists threatening the livelihoods of thousands of peaceful residents.
“It was difficult to sleep last week as the artillery units thumped rounds through the night,” Becki Steins stated in regards to security operations. “Its nice knowing the Union is dedicated to protecting the populace just as much as the trade routes.”
Kailen Shepard brushed past comments related to an uptick in insurrectionist activity, instead choosing to focus on his newly secured trade alliance.
“This new friendship will further grow our economy and lead us to a new age of prosperity,” Mr. Shepard spoke to the masses from every vid screen in the nation.
The military mobilization of corporations does have some citizens on edge. Johnson Meshida was quick to voice his opinion, “Its not our place to force these individuals to join our nation. Self determination is vital to a peaceful world.”
Following said interview Mr. Meshida won an exclusive Trill Spa Resort ticket.
Sadly however, the train transportation he was using was attacked by insurgents attempting to rob the train. Mr. Meshida is believed to have been in cohorts with the insurgents and was killed in the crossfire as security forces retook the train.

Reports of troop mobilization along the western territories has risen concerns for many of the Trilani Union citizenry. Force Commander Kailen made a public statement to ease the worries of the populace.
"Yes it is true that several elements belonging to the SecFor have recently had to restrict leave and liberty. While we know many wish to see their loved ones at home for the holidays, it is a Trilani citizens' duty to ensure the sanctity of the Union's territory. Furthermore, these barbaric upstarts must be brought under heel. For if we do not prevent their rise today, they will certainly become our undoing tomorrow."
When pressed for further questions on how such actions will affect the recent trade agreements that the Trilani Union has been pushing for Force Commander Kailen had this to say.
"Those who have found themselves allied to the Union need never fear oppressive action from us. For we believe that through trade our cultures will continue to grow and our peoples will prosper. Those opposed to our ways will inevitably fall in the face of our Economic and Military might."
The thunderous applause from the crowd was enough to convince this reporter that Force Commander Kailen has the people's interests at heart.

![]()  October 3, 2021 A Trilani Union Patrol helicopter was forced to take emergency maneuvers after it was fired upon by hostile forces identifying themselves as "Protectors of the Timeless One". The incident happened about 10 a.m on Sunday while the aircraft was patrolling the Grande Bridge near the West of the border city of Targonia. Commander Kailen Shepard of the SecArm spoke to Trilani News Now that out of 7 shots believed to have been fired at the helicopter with advanced laser weaponry, one was confirmed to have hit their target.  "No one aboard the aircraft was injured. The helicopter will continue in service of protecting the citizens of the Union and will receive repairs at the nearest convenience." The 13th Corporate Board have convened for an emergency meeting with many citizenry taking to the streets with effigies of mockery of the "Timeless One". Many showing a bloated priest confused looking at his wrist realizing he forgot his watch. The people's voices seem dead set on provocation and Ambassadors of the Union have hurriedly been rushed to their relevant allies. |

Major General Shepard took to the podium today to inform the people that the first casualties of the war had taken place, yet belonged not to the opposition but to that of the Trilani Union. Behind him a display of the men and women in their dress uniforms was shown as members of their families broke into tears in the front rows.
"Elements of the 2nd Mobile Air Capture Team were engaged by hostile Xanderland forces while attempting to secure a bridge onto the southern lands. Contact with elements of M.A.C.T 2 was lost shortly after entering the region. It is unknown at this time whether all members aboard the Ferret were killed or have been captured. With heavy heart I wreath these men and women, with the black braid until their final fate is found."
The Major General executed an about face and a crisp salute as a procession of military guard marched up the steps to affix the black braids to the displays of the individual troops. With the last braid fixed, the military guard pivoted each to face the crowd. The Major General did the same, yet his composure that had been prevalent at the start of the speech seemed to have faded to a stern scowl.
He spoke without a microphone yet his voice bellowed across the crowd as the sound of heavy footfalls approached from somewhere on the otherside of the capital building, "I am amongst you at this time, not as for my recreation or sport, but being resolved, in the midst and heat of the battle, to live or die amongst you all; to lay down, for the Trilani Union, and for the men and women who serve at my command, and for my people, my honor and my blood."
The battlemechs that rounded on either side of the capital were fearsome and impressive as a yet another mech approached from the crowd's rear. The Major General looked down and to the left at the family members that had attended the military vigil, "I will bring home your sons and daughters." He looked once more at the crowd and shouted the command to the array of battlemechs, "Bravo Trinary, FORWARD... MARCH, we have a Throne to claim."
The seven pristine battlemechs lumbered forward on streets that law enforcement officers had cleared of traffic, their footfalls in sync with one another.
The roar of the crowd billowed forth as the Major General marched down the podium, flanked by the military guard with their rifles at shoulder arms. He approached the large battlemech at the back of the crowd, the temporary pilot having already descended the ladderwell. The Major General began to climb the 'mech as the cheers continued to grow. He sat into the cockpit and fitted the Neurohelmet on, giving one final salute to the people before the canopy descended down. The mech took a single step back before rotating around and marching dead center of Bravo Trinary which headed East. East to claim the throne of the Timeless One. East, to War.
