=Southern Solarian Reconstruction Mandate Captures Unathi Pirates!=
'''News Article'''


Since first contact with humanity and the [[Skrell]] in 2403, many Unathi have left their homeworld of [[Moghes]] - whether as refugees, corporate employees, or simply to seek their fortune in the stars. The fires of the [[Contact War]] exacerbated this, as much of Moghes was left uninhabitable by nuclear war. By 2465, Unathi can be found across nearly the entirety of the [[Orion Spur]], in some capacity or another.
'''Publisher: Sol Alliance News Network'''


Unathi are a very communal species, and this tends to be reflected in their enclaves abroad - outside of rare cases such as [[Ouerea]], Unathi communities tend to be insular, and keep to their traditional ways rather than adapting to new cultures. Those Unathi who do adopt local ways and customs are generally the more recent generations of immigrants, or from non-traditional groups to begin with such as the [[Aut'akh]] communes.

==Unathi in the Solarian Alliance==
'''Editors: RustingWithYou'''


Unathi interaction with the [[Sol Alliance]] has always been limited - though Solarian exploration vessels did make first contact, their involvement was considerably more limited when compared to that of the [[Nralakk Federation]]. Due to the Solarian reputation of xenophobia, not many Unathi seek to visit, and to date none have ever been granted Solarian citizenship. The only Unathi community in Solarian space of any note was the [[Mictlan#Unathi_on_Mictlan|Free City of Vezdukh]] on the planet Mictlan - however, following the Solarian Collapse and the planet's annexation into the Republic of Biesel, there are now no permanent Unathi communities within Alliance space.
08/08/2465


Though some of the Solarian warlords of the [[Human Wildlands]] had business dealings with [[Unathi Piracy|Unathi pirates]], these dealings have for the most part ceased as the last of the warlord states either collapsed or were integrated into the newformed [[Solarian Reconstruction Mandates|Reconstruction Mandates]]. This exposure means that the reputation Unathi have in many of the outlying regions of the Alliance is far from a pleasant one, with most contact coming in the form of pirates, smugglers and other such ne'er-do-wells.
A notorious Unathi pirate wanted by the Hegemony is captured by the forces of the Southern Solarian Reconstruction Mandate
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">


==Unathi in the Republic of Biesel==
Earlier this week several Unathi pirates who had been raiding the shipping lanes passing the southern wildlands were captured by the Southern Solarian Reconstruction Mandate in a lightning raid by members of the Sixth Middle Ring battlegroup.


The [[Republic of Biesel]] has always been a cultural melting pot, with any manner of life from across the Spur being found within its territory - and the Unathi are no exception to this. Following the end of the Contact War, many refugees from the newly created [[The Wasteland|Wasteland]] fled to Tau Ceti, and many more have come in the employ of the Spur's megacorporations, seeking fortune in the stars. To many Unathi - whether lucky enough to have been spared from nuclear devastation or fleeing the spreading Wasteland - the torch on the Republic's flag is a beacon of hope; that they might find wealth, glory and a new home far away from the ruins of Moghes. While Unathi can be found all throughout the Republic, there are some Unathi communities of particular note.
Intelligence officers who had been working closely with the SIIB since early this year managed to pinpoint the main base of operations for these pirates by triangulating known attacks and comparing their locations and times. This would lead investigators back to a small asteroid base, originally used for mining but abandoned after the collapse, within the former territory of the Southern Fleet Administration. Marines then used several older generation destroyers which still had their original warp drives to jump into the system and assault the base. The pirates were no match for the destroyers and marines; before long the system was once again under Solarian control and many of the pirates were captured.  


===Notable Unathi Communities in the Republic of Biesel===
In a press conference on Sankt Frederick, Fleet Admiral Myo Yunso, one of the naval flag officers assigned to the SSRM answered questions about the raid and what will happen to the captured pirates. She stated that the captured pirates would be subject to a military tribunal, and if found guilty, executed by firing squad. When asked about the possibility of bias within the tribunal due to the defendants being non-human, she responded that piracy is piracy for anyone, it does not matter if the defendants are human or not. In opposition however, Governor MacPherson has put out a statement informing citizens that he has instructed the planetary justice department to prepare to try the pirates in a court of law, with the maximum sentence being execution.


====Mendell City - The Akhanzi Exiles====
Of course, upon hearing of each other's statements and ideas for the handling of the situation, the Governor and Fleet Admiral immediately fell into the back-and-forth bickering that Sankt Frederick has become known for. The Fleet-Admiral slammed the slow process of the court system, saying that due to the pirates not being Solarian citizens they should be subject to military justice as pirates. The Governor responded by pointing out there was no military government in control of the territory where the pirates were captured and referenced a previous decision by Solarian courts to try resident non-citizen Tajara the same way as Solarian citizens. Fleet Admiral Klaudia Szalai originally sided with her fellow Fleet Admiral, but has since withdrawn that statement, instead suggesting that the Solarian Department of Justice be consulted on the issue. While this back-and-forth is still ongoing, it is unlikely any decision will be made shortly. Whatever will happen though, it is expected that these pirates will be justly punished for their crimes.


Following the [[Unathi_Recent_Events#The_Iron_Crusades_and_Religious_Tensions_(2460-2461)|Iron Crusade]], when many of their oldest temples were burned, the [[Unathi Religion#Th'akh|Th'akh]] monks of the Akhanzi Order fled the Izweski Hegemony for greener pastures. They found sanctuary in the Republic of Biesel, who granted them refugee status. The Order, under the guidance of Vuthix Ahkandi, established a new temple and spiritual library in Mendell City, located in District 10. Though the power of the Maraziite Order who persecuted them has been broken in the Hegemony, the Akhanzi Order have not returned to Moghes, choosing instead to try and share their wisdom as best they can from across the stars.
</div></div>


Aside from the shamans who fled to Biesel, many Th'akh faithful have since emigrated from Moghes to visit the new temple. The residential areas around the newfound home of the Akhanzi Order have rapidly become populated by Unathi immigrants. A great number of these Unathi are from rural communities close to the sites of the old Akhanzi Temples, and acclimation has been difficult for many who are unfamiliar with the language, customs and culture of Tau Ceti. However, their community is a tight-knit one, and so far they have persisted through any and all adversity that the Republic may present them.

=Solarian Ambassador on Moghes meets with Hegemon, Lord-Admiral Yizarus; extradition discussed=
'''News Article'''


====Ashton - The Escapees====
'''Publisher: Sinta Articles'''


In 2452, a group of five [[The_Wasteland#Clan_"Gawgaryn"_-_The_Punished_Clans|Gawgaryn]] launched an assault on the Izweski stronghold of Camp Integrity, seizing several trade shuttles docked there and forcing their pilots to pick up hundreds of Unathi from across the Wasteland. These shuttles then set course for Tau Ceti, in the hopes of finding sanctuary from the wastes across the stars. The escapees applied for refugee status with the Republic of Biesel, and were granted it - though the bold raiders who stole the shuttles were extradited to the Izweski Hegemony, to face execution.
'''Writer: Triogenix'''


The fledgling Republic, dealing with its newly-won independence, resettled the refugees on the outskirts of Ashton, an agricultural settlement on the continent of Selene. Though at first things were difficult, the skills that many of the refugees already had were able to be put to use effectively in the farms surrounding the city. As of 2465, the Unathi population in Ashton has grown steadily, and has integrated well with the local population - though the work in the farms of Ashton may be difficult, and very few Unathi in the community have managed to afford their own land instead of simply working for the wealthier human landowners of the region, compared to the Wasteland it may as well be a paradise.

====Mendell City - The Razortail Enclave====
11/08/2465


A group of Aut'akh have made their home in District 11 of Mendell City - known as one of the most violent and dangerous districts of the city. The 'Razortail Enclave', as they have become known, have largely turned to crime in order to survive. More information on them can be found [[Aut'akh#The_Razortail_Enclave,_"the_Ruffians"|here.]]
The Hegemon meets with Solarian diplomats to discuss extradition of the notorious pirate.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">


====Mendell City - The Bastard Hatchlings====
Today the Hegemon, together with his wife Spymaster Razi and Lord-Admiral Yizarus attended a small function stated to be with other nobles of the Hegemony, to discuss the current affairs of the realm in a relaxed setting. However, reporters working on behalf of the Keeper’s outside the Izweski Citadel where it was to be held noticed that very few official vehicles and noble retinues arrived at the gate but took notice when a diplomatic car from the Solarian Embassy entered the Citadel. While the windows were tinted, reporters believe the occupant of the car was the charge-de-affairs of the Solarian embassy, the highest-ranking Solarian diplomat left within the Hegemony after a general recall due to the collapse of their government about three years ago.


Another Unathi enclave in District 11, the Bastard Hatchlings are an Unathi gang formed largely in response to the existing crime in the district, as a form of protection for the Unathi migrant workers living in the area. As the years have gone on, however, the gang has expanded its operations - gaining a major foothold in the Mendell City drug trade. Though they are far from the Hegemony, and engaging in what would unquestionably considered as deeply dishonorable behavior, the Bastard Hatchlings are largely Sk'akh faithful, and cling to their own version of the Warrior's Code that is, at least on the surface, similar to that practiced in Izweski space.  
A source close to the Hegemon has stated that the real purpose of the meeting was to discuss the possibility of extraditing several Unathi Pirates who were captured by the Southern Solarian Reconstruction Mandate, a Solarian designated mandate within the human wildlands some days ago. Among the pirates is rumored to be Guwan Sitraz, a former member of our navy who fled the Hegemony after dishonoring the Izweski clan by murdering unarmed combatants and civilians attempting to surrender to his men. His location has been unknown since 2458 when after being ordered by the Hegemon to return to Moghes to face judgment, he fled into the frontier. He has since been suspected to be behind several pirate organizations within the Sparring Sea and Badlands but has never been positively located by any organization. It now appears that due to the work of the Solarian Interstellar Intelligence Bureau and other Solarian intelligence clans, he may finally face the Hegemon's justice.


The Hatchlings are often even more staunchly traditionalist than Unathi actually in the Hegemony, clinging to ideas of a distant and glorious culture as they struggle to survive the streets of Mendell. Perhaps it is this that has led to frequent and violent clashes with the Razortail Enclave - as much over ideology as territory or any other material concern.
While we hope that Sitraz and the other pirates can be brought back to Moghes to face the Hegemon’s justice, it is unclear how extradition may work. As a mandate, now totally under the control of Sol, the SSRM may wish to try the criminals themselves or return them to the interim Solarian Government for trial. We presume that this was the center of the conversation with the Citadel, as the diplomat and Hegemon spoke for at least several hours. We will keep our readers appraised as this story develops.


Members or affiliates of the Hatchlings are often hired as muscle by other criminal syndicates, and the stereotype of the Unathi hitman is one that has already made its mark on Bieselite culture, with many holovids and films produced in Biesel featuring Unathi in similar roles. To the vast majority of Unathi, this stereotype is an offensive one and one often protested against firmly.

====Valkyrie - The Fortune-Seekers====
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
=Governor MacPherson announces negotiations underway for the extradition of Unathi Pirates to Hegemony=
'''News Article'''


[[Hephaestus Industries]] has a large presence on Biesel's moon, as well as within the Hegemony - so it should be no surprise that many Unathi migrant workers were brought there by the megacorporation. In the shipyards, docks and factories of Valkyrie, Unathi workers can be seen, with entire clans having made the journey across the stars in the hopes of finding a new life in Tau Ceti.
'''Publisher: Sol Alliance News Network'''


The idea of this 'Valkyrian Dream' began as a Hephaestus marketing slogan, to encourage Unathi to move to the Republic as cheap labour. However, over the years it has become a reality, as the megacorporation increasingly relies on the moon's Unathi population to operate its Valkyrian facilities. Unathi have seeped into every part of Valkyrie, rising through ranks both civil and corporate into positions of power - and for these Unathi, the Valkyrian Dream may truly be fulfilled.
'''Writer: Triogenix'''


This is the largest Unathi community in Tau Ceti, and Sinta from all walks of life and faiths can be found here. Sk'akh churches and Th'akh shrines can be found here, though the Aut'akh and Si'akh faiths are not present, with the former preferring the company of their own kind and the latter largely being relegated to Moghes. As such, the culture is an odd melting pot from across Moghes, with food, music, faith and tradition from nearly everywhere melding together into a culture that is unique to Valkyrie, but an unquestionably Sinta one.
'''Editors: RustingWithYou, CaptainGecko'''


The Unathi of Valkyrie are, to many, a model community - hard workers, diligent in their duties and ambitious in the pursuit of a better life for themselves and their kin. Others, however, resent them for their Hephaestus ties, or how they tend to look down on less well-off groups of Unathi in the Republic - particularly criminal groups such as the Razortails or the Bastard Hatchlings. To many of the Unathi living in poverty in Mendell, the Valkyrian Unathi are nothing but obedient lapdogs, happy to trade the Hegemon's boot on their neck for that of Joseph Dorn or Titanius Aeson.

====Luthien - The Pact====
SSRM leadership announces that extradition is considered. Some among the public are unhappy.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">


Another Aut'akh commune in Biesel, the Unathi of the Luthien Pact work closely with the megacorporations, granting them a better quality of life than many of their kin elsewhere in the Republic - though at the cost of their prized freedom. More information about the Luthien Pact can be found [[Aut'akh#The_Luthien_Pact,_"the_Pacters"|here]].
Earlier today, standing beside Minister of Defense Lucien Courtois on Sankt Frederick, Governor MacPherson announced the recently captured Unathi Pirates, now in custody on the planet, may be extradited to the Hegemony. The SANN was on the ground to record the announcement and has attached it to this article.


===Notable Unathi Communities in the Corporate Reconstruction Zone===
''The camera pans over to the right to track Governor MacPherson and Fleet Admiral Courtois as they make their way up to the Podium, taking about thirty seconds. The Governor quickly rearranges some papers on the podium, before politely coughing into the mic. Having confirmed that it’s on, he begins his announcement.''


====Unathi on Mictlan====
“My fellow Solarians, I stand here today with a representative of our provisional government in the core worlds, Minister of Defense Courtois, to speak to you today about the Unathi pirates we recently captured in the former territory of the Southern Fleet Administration. It is our belief, and I think I speak for both myself and the Minister of Defense here, that a diplomatic solution where these criminals can be punished by their original government is preferable, and will help to signal a reborn Solarian Alliance that has diplomacy beyond threats of force.”


As the Contact War ravaged Moghes, Unathi fled across the Spur - whether to escape the victorious Hegemony, or simply out of desperation as their ancestral homes were swallowed by atomic fire. A large group of these Unathi fled to the territory of the Solarian Alliance, hoping that the humans would grant them asylum from the devastation their homeworld faced. While the Alliance did not turn them away, they wished to divert these Unathi from the Jewel Worlds, and thus the Vezdukh Refugee Camp was established on the planet Mictlan, for holding and processing the thousands of Unathi refugees seeking to enter the Alliance. Both Hegemonic and Traditionalist refugees were sent there, and forced into making a new life on an alien world.  
''The governor pauses for a moment to look at Courtois who gives an almost imperceptible nod before continuing.''


Eventually, the refugee camp grew into a true city - dubbed in 2453 as the 'Free City of Vezdukh' by the locals. The city grew prosperous, and integrated further into Mictlani society, creating something wholly unique - a hybrid of Mictlani democracy and Unathi tradition, where even the lowliest peasant of Moghes could rise into the newformed aristocracy of the city. Following the Solarian Collapse and Mictlan's annexation by the Republic of Biesel, the Unathi of Mictlan have largely been in favor of the Bieselite presence - to them, one distant human government is much the same as another, and nearly all of them have welcomed the opportunity to become full citizens of the Republic, rather than the nebulous refugee status they had held previously.  
“With that said, we have several conditions we would like to consider. Firstly, the trial of the criminals shall take place here, on Sankt Frederick. We are willing to grant the Iz-we-ski Hegemony a plot of land at a now unused consulate for a fixed period where the trial and punishment can occur, outside the laws of these lands. Secondly, the trial must be observed by a member of the Solarian Department of Justice, who will act as an advisor to the Hegemonies appointed judge. Third, the criminals shall be charged with all crimes committed within the territories of the Solarian Alliance, occupied or otherwise, during their trial. We are not just here to achieve justice for a crime six years in the past, we are here to find justice for murdered Solarian citizens. Lastly, not all criminals will be extradited, we will allow your government to try two of them, while the remaining are tried here by our planetary courts.”


However, this is not a belief shared by all, with some of the younger and bolder Unathi of the Free City seeing in Biesel's presence the same corporate hand that is wrapped around the neck of the Hegemony. While it is a rare site, some Unathi have been reported among the [[Mictlan#Founding_Movement_and_the_Samaritans|Samaritan movement]] fighting for independence from the Republic, believing that the people of Mictlan should claim their own destiny instead of bowing to foreign masters - whether Solarian or Bieselite.
''After finishing his statement, the governor takes another quick pause before continuing.''


More information on the Unathi of Mictlan can be found [[Mictlan#Unathi_on_Mictlan|here]].
“These conditions are the requirements we have to allow some of these criminals to be punished by their original government, and we encourage the Hegemony to reach out to our Charge-de-affairs to give their response. As a gesture of good faith, we will allow a Hegemonic Lord to observe the trials of the rest of the pirates, as well as provide further evidence of their guilt, but not advise the Judge on their sentence.”


==Unathi in the Coalition of Colonies==
''The governor then finishes his speech, speaking briefly with Courtois, before both walk off the stage and the camera stops rolling.''


There are not many Unathi in the [[Coalition of Colonies]] - its distance from Moghes and smaller Unathi population does not encourage immigration compared to Biesel, and the Coalition tends to be wary of Unathi due to the problem of various Unathi pirate fleets raiding on its southern borders, whether of their own volition or in the pay of other interstellar powers. However, the Coalition does have some Unathi dwelling there, for various reasons. Hephaestus often brings Unathi workers from the Hegemony to its operations within the Coalition, with some Unathi being assigned to [[Burzsia|Burzsia I]], the megacorporation's regional headquarters. While not many of these workers stay for long, some have stuck it out and gained citizenship within the Coalition - though this is a difficult choice for many with clans or families back in Izweski space. Perhaps as a result of this, many Guwan in Hephaestus employ have sought out work in the Coalition of Colonies, where the name that brands them as a criminal can be left behind or ignored.
This announcement has baffled interstellar relations experts, who were incredibly surprised to find the Alliance open to negotiations in any form, instead expecting a quick military trial of the pirates. Legal experts have also given their input into the strange nature of the agreement, commenting on the allocation of land to the Hegemony for a fixed period, and the precedent it sets. One interviewee from Callisto was quoted saying ''“If we start giving all our land to [EXPLETIVE] alien governments to do what they please, what’s the point of the alliance?”'' The SANN also reached out to Fleet Admiral Myo Yunso to ask for a comment, but her public relations officer declined to give a statement. It was the same when SANN reporters reached out to Fleet Admiral Klaudia Szalai’s office. We currently know that Minister of Defense Courtois visited both admiral’s flagships before appearing with the governor for his statement, though not what was discussed. Now we expectantly wait for the response of the Hegemony with bated breath, stay tuned!


Outside of Hephaestus, some Unathi merchants who find the Hegemony's mercantilist economy too limiting seek citizenship in the Coalition, due to its lax requirements. While this was largely limited to non-Guild members, the bankruptcy of the Merchants' Guild in 2465 has led many of their former members to take what vessels they could and flee the Hegemony, hoping to find greater profits in human space. While some of these merchants have set course for the Republic of Biesel or the Empire of Dominia, a large number of them have chosen instead to seek their fortune in Coalition space.

==Unathi in the Empire of Dominia==
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
=Hegemon Accepts Southern Provisional Governments terms for extradition, Lord-Admiral Yizarus leaves for Sankt Frederick=
'''News Article'''


The [[Empire of Dominia]] has a small, but influential Unathi population, formed primarily from members of the clans Kazhkz and Han'san having fled Moghes following a failed assault on Skalamar. After several years of piracy, these two clans made contact with the young Empire in 2440, and while some on [[Moroz]] feared that their fleet would be the first true test of the Imperial Fleet, the pirates chose a different path - pledging their service to the Emperor, and being granted positions of nobility. The two clans reorganized, becoming the [[Empire_of_Dominia_Great_Houses#House_Kazhkz|Great House Kazhkz-Han'san]]. Occupying an odd space, noble yet distrusted, favored of the Emperor yet often despised by the other Houses, the Unathi of Dominia have managed to thrive nonetheless in this alien civilisation. More information on Unathi in the Empire can be found [[Empire_of_Dominia_Great_Houses#House_Kazhkz|here]].
'''Publisher: Sinta Articles'''


==Unathi in the Serene Republic of Elyra==
'''Writer: Triogenix'''


There are not many Unathi in the [[Elyra|Serene Republic of Elyra]], and no citizens. The privateers of House Kazhkz have often raided the edge of Elyran space, and other pirate fleets in the Badlands and Sparring Sea have often clashed with the Elyran Navy, creating a distrust of Unathi among many of those who fought against such pirates during their mandatory military service. The one exception to this, however, is [[New Suez]], where a small Unathi population has emerged, largely as workers for the Hephaestus Industries presence on the moon. Though they tend to keep to their own communities, with the largest of these taking up nearly an entire district of New Hormuz, where the vast majority of Unathi in Elyran space can be found.
'''Editors: RustingWithYou, CaptainGecko'''


Though the life of a Non-Citizen Person in Elyra can be difficult, and most Unathi on New Suez do not stay long, instead working there for a few years at most, some of them have managed to build a more permanent life there. Though they will likely never be consider citizens of the Republic, their presence has helped the general image of their species - at least among the citizens of New Suez, who have been given a chance to see a different side to the Unathi than that of the pirates that have plagued the Serene Republic in the past.
18/08/2465


==Unathi Outside Human Space==
An agreement is reached. Lord-Admiral Yizarus departs the Hegemony to sit in judgement on Sankt-Frederick.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">


Unathi settlements outside of their own or human space are rare bordering on nonexistent - largely for practical reasons. The [[Epsilon Ursae Minoris|Co-Operative Territories of Epsilon Ursae Minoris]] are on the other side of the Spur, and while the Nralakk Federation is closer, it still lies on the far side of the Sparring Sea - far further than most human states for those fleeing the Contact War. The isolationism of the Skrell also means that trade is limited, with not many Unathi merchants bothering to brave the dangers of the Sparring Sea to trade with the Federation. While the Tajaran homeworld of [[Adhomai]] is closer, its freezing climate and recent years of strife and warfare mean that not many Unathi would wish to set course there, even without considering that many of the locals would likely not appreciate their presence.
Over the past few days since the announcement by the Southern Solarian Reconstruction Mandate, the Charge-de-affairs of the Solarian embassy has been seen entering and leaving the Izweski Citadel, sometimes multiple times a day. It has been believed that the Hegemon is negotiating with the Solarian Government for better conditions regarding the extradition of the Guwan Sitraz and other pirate scum captured by one of their reconstruction mandates so recently. Today, our speculation came to an end, however, as High Speaker Seleta Sarnac called a press conference in the evening. Our reporters were there and captured her opening statement.


===Gakal'zaal===
“Greetings. I am pleased to announce that our Hegemon has accepted a set of revised conditions presented by a Solarian Diplomat this afternoon, in regards to the extradition of several Unathi criminals. I ask that you hold all questions until I have informed you of all new conditions. The Hegemony has agreed in full to the condition that the trials of the pirates take place on the world which they are currently held, and accept the local government's offer to hold a small former consulate under the banner of the Izweski Hegemony for the time of the trial and punishment. The Hegemony has also fully agreed to try the pirates with the assistance of a Solarian Judge for their crimes committed in Solarian Territory. We however will be trying two pirates of our choosing, in addition to the guwan Sitraz. In addition, we will be taking up the local government's offer to have a Hegemonic Lord observe the trials of the remaining pirates, as well as offer advice to the presiding Judge. The Hegemony has also requested that the maximum sentence for the crimes of the pirates be execution by firing squad, rather than cyborgification, which the local government has accepted.”


There is one major exception to this rule, however - the colony of [[Gakal'zaal]], originally founded by Tajaran refugees in 2452. These refugees made a living on the planet for some time, suffering from pirate raids and extortions until 2457, when the Izweski Navy expelled the pirate presence. After a deal with a powerful Tajara family on Gakal'zaal, the Hegemony annexed the planet, appointing Makar Yizarus, cousin to the famed admiral, as the new Overlord of Gakal'zaal. Due to the ongoing Second Revolution on Adhomai, none of the Tajaran powers involved themselves in affairs, leading to five years of feudal rule as Unathi colonists arrived on the planet.
''Seleta pauses for a moment, keeping her hand up to forestall questions.''


In 2462, however, with the assistance of the Adhomai Liberation Army, the organization known as the Gakal'zaal Liberation Front rose up, fighting to depose Overlord Yizarus and place the planet back in the hands of the Tajaran people. Due to the ongoing civil war on Moghes, the Hegemon provided no help, leaving Overlord Yizarus to face the rebels himself. Due to Yizarus's corruption and mismanagement of the colony, Not'zar Izweski stripped the Overlord of his titles and abandoned Gakal'zaal, leaving Yizarus to the mercies of the Liberation Front. Now, the DPRA controls Gakal'zaal, with the remaining Unathi on the planet now living under Tajaran rule.
“To these ends, Lord-Admiral Yizarus has been dispatched to the planet of Sankt Frederick, where he will act in our Hegemon’s stead as the presiding judge for the criminals we prosecute. He has taken one of our quickest ships and is expected to be there by the end of the week. I now open the floor to questions.”


More information about Gakal'zaal, and the Unathi and Tajara who dwell there, can be found [[Gakal'zaal|here]].
Very few questions of any substance were asked by the members of the press attendant, due to the skillful delivery of the High Speaker. Our journalists held off on asking further questions. We pray the spirits are with Lord Admiral Yizarus on his journey, and that he may extract the Hegemon’s justice by word of mouth and strength of claw.

26/08/2465
 
Lord-Admiral Yizarus dispenses the Hegemon's justice. Solarian viewers are shocked by the swift and merciless judgement.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
 
In a shocking development, after a mere six hours on the planet of Sankt Frederick the Hegemony’s appointed judge, one Lord-Admiral Yizarus has completed the trial and punishment of the three criminals the Hegemony was allowed to try. The trial itself only took four hours, and thirty minutes after completion the convicted Unathi were taken out of the consulate building to its front yard for their punishments. The SANN had a camera on the scene and captured the following video. Viewer discretion is advised.
 
''The camera turns on with an unsteady hand, as it shakes seemingly up onto someone's shoulder. After a few moments, it clears up and begins to track a three person long file of Unathi prisoners gagged and chained being escorted out onto the front lawn of the former consulate. The file is led by a tall, proud-looking Sinta with a sword at his waist, Lord-Admiral Yizarus, and flanked on all sides by Men-at-arms wearing the heraldry of the Izweski; by the Lord-Admiral's side is a short, plump man identified as a Solarian Judge. About halfway across the lawn, the file stops, in front of a small crowd that’s begun to form.

''“I have found thessse criminalss guilty of a litany of crimesss, including pirassy in the Sssolarian Alliansse. For thesse crimesss, they will be eksecuted.”''
''
The Lord-Admiral seemingly believes that’s enough to say, and turns back to criminals, now all kneeling, drawing the sword on his waist. It’s an unadorned simple sword but shines with a sharpness that only Plasteel could achieve. He plants the point into the soft ground near the head of the rightmost convict, Sitraz. He then sa''ys;

Without a word this time, Yizarus once again hefts the sword up over his head and down onto the convict's neck, separating their head from their body. He then moves on to the last convict and repeats the same motion with the same ending before speaking again.''

''The armsmen move to carry the bodies and head back inside, as Yizarus calmly pulls out a piece of cloth and begins to clean his sword, speaking with the stunned Solarian Judge all the while. The crowd murmurs but is mostly quiet, too stunned to react spectacularly. Eventually, Yizarus and the judge both head back inside, and the camera stops rolling.''
 
The speed and severity of the punishment handed down to the pirates has taken Sankt Frederick by storm, with videos of the executions and the thoughts of the population being re-chirped millions of times across the spur. When asked by a reporter who caught him at the starport leaving for the Hegemony about the executions, Lord-Admiral Yizarus simply said:
 
''“They broke the lawsss of the Hegemon, Sssolarian Alliansse, and other civilized nationss ass well asss the lawsss of the sspiritsss, and were punissshed accordingly.”''
 
The remainder of the pirates remain on Sankt Frederick and are expected to be brought before a Solarian Judge for their trials several months from now. The Hegemony has extended its full thanks to the Solarian Government as well as the leaders of the Southern Solarian Reconstruction Mandate, in particular Governor McPherson, for allowing them to “justly punish a criminal who has long evaded rightful authority.”

Southern Solarian Reconstruction Mandate Captures Unathi Pirates!

A notorious Unathi pirate wanted by the Hegemony is captured by the forces of the Southern Solarian Reconstruction Mandate

Earlier this week several Unathi pirates who had been raiding the shipping lanes passing the southern wildlands were captured by the Southern Solarian Reconstruction Mandate in a lightning raid by members of the Sixth Middle Ring battlegroup.

Intelligence officers who had been working closely with the SIIB since early this year managed to pinpoint the main base of operations for these pirates by triangulating known attacks and comparing their locations and times. This would lead investigators back to a small asteroid base, originally used for mining but abandoned after the collapse, within the former territory of the Southern Fleet Administration. Marines then used several older generation destroyers which still had their original warp drives to jump into the system and assault the base. The pirates were no match for the destroyers and marines; before long the system was once again under Solarian control and many of the pirates were captured.

In a press conference on Sankt Frederick, Fleet Admiral Myo Yunso, one of the naval flag officers assigned to the SSRM answered questions about the raid and what will happen to the captured pirates. She stated that the captured pirates would be subject to a military tribunal, and if found guilty, executed by firing squad. When asked about the possibility of bias within the tribunal due to the defendants being non-human, she responded that piracy is piracy for anyone, it does not matter if the defendants are human or not. In opposition however, Governor MacPherson has put out a statement informing citizens that he has instructed the planetary justice department to prepare to try the pirates in a court of law, with the maximum sentence being execution.

Of course, upon hearing of each other's statements and ideas for the handling of the situation, the Governor and Fleet Admiral immediately fell into the back-and-forth bickering that Sankt Frederick has become known for. The Fleet-Admiral slammed the slow process of the court system, saying that due to the pirates not being Solarian citizens they should be subject to military justice as pirates. The Governor responded by pointing out there was no military government in control of the territory where the pirates were captured and referenced a previous decision by Solarian courts to try resident non-citizen Tajara the same way as Solarian citizens. Fleet Admiral Klaudia Szalai originally sided with her fellow Fleet Admiral, but has since withdrawn that statement, instead suggesting that the Solarian Department of Justice be consulted on the issue. While this back-and-forth is still ongoing, it is unlikely any decision will be made shortly. Whatever will happen though, it is expected that these pirates will be justly punished for their crimes.

Solarian Ambassador on Moghes meets with Hegemon, Lord-Admiral Yizarus; extradition discussed

The Hegemon meets with Solarian diplomats to discuss extradition of the notorious pirate.

Today the Hegemon, together with his wife Spymaster Razi and Lord-Admiral Yizarus attended a small function stated to be with other nobles of the Hegemony, to discuss the current affairs of the realm in a relaxed setting. However, reporters working on behalf of the Keeper’s outside the Izweski Citadel where it was to be held noticed that very few official vehicles and noble retinues arrived at the gate but took notice when a diplomatic car from the Solarian Embassy entered the Citadel. While the windows were tinted, reporters believe the occupant of the car was the charge-de-affairs of the Solarian embassy, the highest-ranking Solarian diplomat left within the Hegemony after a general recall due to the collapse of their government about three years ago.

A source close to the Hegemon has stated that the real purpose of the meeting was to discuss the possibility of extraditing several Unathi Pirates who were captured by the Southern Solarian Reconstruction Mandate, a Solarian designated mandate within the human wildlands some days ago. Among the pirates is rumored to be Guwan Sitraz, a former member of our navy who fled the Hegemony after dishonoring the Izweski clan by murdering unarmed combatants and civilians attempting to surrender to his men. His location has been unknown since 2458 when after being ordered by the Hegemon to return to Moghes to face judgment, he fled into the frontier. He has since been suspected to be behind several pirate organizations within the Sparring Sea and Badlands but has never been positively located by any organization. It now appears that due to the work of the Solarian Interstellar Intelligence Bureau and other Solarian intelligence clans, he may finally face the Hegemon's justice.

While we hope that Sitraz and the other pirates can be brought back to Moghes to face the Hegemon’s justice, it is unclear how extradition may work. As a mandate, now totally under the control of Sol, the SSRM may wish to try the criminals themselves or return them to the interim Solarian Government for trial. We presume that this was the center of the conversation with the Citadel, as the diplomat and Hegemon spoke for at least several hours. We will keep our readers appraised as this story develops.

Governor MacPherson announces negotiations underway for the extradition of Unathi Pirates to Hegemony

SSRM leadership announces that extradition is considered. Some among the public are unhappy.

Earlier today, standing beside Minister of Defense Lucien Courtois on Sankt Frederick, Governor MacPherson announced the recently captured Unathi Pirates, now in custody on the planet, may be extradited to the Hegemony. The SANN was on the ground to record the announcement and has attached it to this article.

The camera pans over to the right to track Governor MacPherson and Fleet Admiral Courtois as they make their way up to the Podium, taking about thirty seconds. The Governor quickly rearranges some papers on the podium, before politely coughing into the mic. Having confirmed that it’s on, he begins his announcement.

“My fellow Solarians, I stand here today with a representative of our provisional government in the core worlds, Minister of Defense Courtois, to speak to you today about the Unathi pirates we recently captured in the former territory of the Southern Fleet Administration. It is our belief, and I think I speak for both myself and the Minister of Defense here, that a diplomatic solution where these criminals can be punished by their original government is preferable, and will help to signal a reborn Solarian Alliance that has diplomacy beyond threats of force.”

The governor pauses for a moment to look at Courtois who gives an almost imperceptible nod before continuing.

“With that said, we have several conditions we would like to consider. Firstly, the trial of the criminals shall take place here, on Sankt Frederick. We are willing to grant the Iz-we-ski Hegemony a plot of land at a now unused consulate for a fixed period where the trial and punishment can occur, outside the laws of these lands. Secondly, the trial must be observed by a member of the Solarian Department of Justice, who will act as an advisor to the Hegemonies appointed judge. Third, the criminals shall be charged with all crimes committed within the territories of the Solarian Alliance, occupied or otherwise, during their trial. We are not just here to achieve justice for a crime six years in the past, we are here to find justice for murdered Solarian citizens. Lastly, not all criminals will be extradited, we will allow your government to try two of them, while the remaining are tried here by our planetary courts.”

After finishing his statement, the governor takes another quick pause before continuing.

“These conditions are the requirements we have to allow some of these criminals to be punished by their original government, and we encourage the Hegemony to reach out to our Charge-de-affairs to give their response. As a gesture of good faith, we will allow a Hegemonic Lord to observe the trials of the rest of the pirates, as well as provide further evidence of their guilt, but not advise the Judge on their sentence.”

The governor then finishes his speech, speaking briefly with Courtois, before both walk off the stage and the camera stops rolling.

This announcement has baffled interstellar relations experts, who were incredibly surprised to find the Alliance open to negotiations in any form, instead expecting a quick military trial of the pirates. Legal experts have also given their input into the strange nature of the agreement, commenting on the allocation of land to the Hegemony for a fixed period, and the precedent it sets. One interviewee from Callisto was quoted saying “If we start giving all our land to [EXPLETIVE] alien governments to do what they please, what’s the point of the alliance?” The SANN also reached out to Fleet Admiral Myo Yunso to ask for a comment, but her public relations officer declined to give a statement. It was the same when SANN reporters reached out to Fleet Admiral Klaudia Szalai’s office. We currently know that Minister of Defense Courtois visited both admiral’s flagships before appearing with the governor for his statement, though not what was discussed. Now we expectantly wait for the response of the Hegemony with bated breath, stay tuned!

Hegemon Accepts Southern Provisional Governments terms for extradition, Lord-Admiral Yizarus leaves for Sankt Frederick

An agreement is reached. Lord-Admiral Yizarus departs the Hegemony to sit in judgement on Sankt-Frederick.

Over the past few days since the announcement by the Southern Solarian Reconstruction Mandate, the Charge-de-affairs of the Solarian embassy has been seen entering and leaving the Izweski Citadel, sometimes multiple times a day. It has been believed that the Hegemon is negotiating with the Solarian Government for better conditions regarding the extradition of the Guwan Sitraz and other pirate scum captured by one of their reconstruction mandates so recently. Today, our speculation came to an end, however, as High Speaker Seleta Sarnac called a press conference in the evening. Our reporters were there and captured her opening statement.

“Greetings. I am pleased to announce that our Hegemon has accepted a set of revised conditions presented by a Solarian Diplomat this afternoon, in regards to the extradition of several Unathi criminals. I ask that you hold all questions until I have informed you of all new conditions. The Hegemony has agreed in full to the condition that the trials of the pirates take place on the world which they are currently held, and accept the local government's offer to hold a small former consulate under the banner of the Izweski Hegemony for the time of the trial and punishment. The Hegemony has also fully agreed to try the pirates with the assistance of a Solarian Judge for their crimes committed in Solarian Territory. We however will be trying two pirates of our choosing, in addition to the guwan Sitraz. In addition, we will be taking up the local government's offer to have a Hegemonic Lord observe the trials of the remaining pirates, as well as offer advice to the presiding Judge. The Hegemony has also requested that the maximum sentence for the crimes of the pirates be execution by firing squad, rather than cyborgification, which the local government has accepted.”

Seleta pauses for a moment, keeping her hand up to forestall questions.

“To these ends, Lord-Admiral Yizarus has been dispatched to the planet of Sankt Frederick, where he will act in our Hegemon’s stead as the presiding judge for the criminals we prosecute. He has taken one of our quickest ships and is expected to be there by the end of the week. I now open the floor to questions.”

Very few questions of any substance were asked by the members of the press attendant, due to the skillful delivery of the High Speaker. Our journalists held off on asking further questions. We pray the spirits are with Lord Admiral Yizarus on his journey, and that he may extract the Hegemon’s justice by word of mouth and strength of claw.

Unathi Pirates Publicly Executed by Hegemony Lord-Admiral after 4-hour Trial

Lord-Admiral Yizarus dispenses the Hegemon's justice. Solarian viewers are shocked by the swift and merciless judgement.

In a shocking development, after a mere six hours on the planet of Sankt Frederick the Hegemony’s appointed judge, one Lord-Admiral Yizarus has completed the trial and punishment of the three criminals the Hegemony was allowed to try. The trial itself only took four hours, and thirty minutes after completion the convicted Unathi were taken out of the consulate building to its front yard for their punishments. The SANN had a camera on the scene and captured the following video. Viewer discretion is advised.

The camera turns on with an unsteady hand, as it shakes seemingly up onto someone's shoulder. After a few moments, it clears up and begins to track a three person long file of Unathi prisoners gagged and chained being escorted out onto the front lawn of the former consulate. The file is led by a tall, proud-looking Sinta with a sword at his waist, Lord-Admiral Yizarus, and flanked on all sides by Men-at-arms wearing the heraldry of the Izweski; by the Lord-Admiral's side is a short, plump man identified as a Solarian Judge. About halfway across the lawn, the file stops, in front of a small crowd that’s begun to form. Several armsmen place three wooden boxes on the lawn and force each prisoner to kneel with their head on one. Lord-Admiral Yizarus notices the crowd which has begun to grow in size, and quickly speaks with the Judge before turning to face the crowd. He then gave the following statements.

“I have found thessse criminalss guilty of a litany of crimesss, including pirassy in the Sssolarian Alliansse. For thesse crimesss, they will be eksecuted.” The Lord-Admiral seemingly believes that’s enough to say, and turns back to criminals, now all kneeling, drawing the sword on his waist. It’s an unadorned simple sword but shines with a sharpness that only Plasteel could achieve. He plants the point into the soft ground near the head of the rightmost convict, Sitraz. He then says;

In Sinta’Unathi: “And now, a duty fulfilled.”

After that phrase Yizarus brings the sword up over his head and down onto Sitraz’s neck, completely separating his head from the rest of his body in one smooth stroke, to the gasps of the crowd. Yizarus casually kicks the now removed head out of his way, as he moves on to the next convict, believed to be Sitraz’s second in command. Without a word this time, Yizarus once again hefts the sword up over his head and down onto the convict's neck, separating their head from their body. He then moves on to the last convict and repeats the same motion with the same ending before speaking again.

In Sinta’Unathi: “Have it all burned, and spread the ashes through the star lanes; there should be no resting place for the dishonored.”

The armsmen move to carry the bodies and head back inside, as Yizarus calmly pulls out a piece of cloth and begins to clean his sword, speaking with the stunned Solarian Judge all the while. The crowd murmurs but is mostly quiet, too stunned to react spectacularly. Eventually, Yizarus and the judge both head back inside, and the camera stops rolling.

The speed and severity of the punishment handed down to the pirates has taken Sankt Frederick by storm, with videos of the executions and the thoughts of the population being re-chirped millions of times across the spur. When asked by a reporter who caught him at the starport leaving for the Hegemony about the executions, Lord-Admiral Yizarus simply said:
