Crime on the Rise in District Six

News Article

Crime rates skyrocket in District Six of Mendell City.

Data released today by Mendell City police officials indicates that there has been an upward tick in crime since the previous year’s report. The crime rate skyrocketed across District Six, with record highs being reached in cases of burglary, gun violence, and homicide. The department’s Gang Intelligence Unit warned of growing organized crime in Little Adhomai. Experts claim that a higher percentage of crimes still go unreported.

Already plagued by factionalism between its inhabitants, the situation in District Six has worsened with the arrival of more Tajaran immigrants after the end of the Civil War on Adhomai. Reports indicate that gangs are becoming more prolific and bold, acquiring more territory through often violent turf wars. 

Many law enforcement agents have started to avoid this part of the city due to its hostile nature. Several citizens, speaking on the condition of anonymity, have confirmed the existence of widespread protection rackets that threaten the remaining business in the district. Despite attempts by Mendell police officials, most locals refuse to collaborate with investigations and prefer to rely on community leaders to solve their disputes. 

Tau Ceti administration has promised extra funding to the Police Department in hope of solving this situation. Tajaran embassies offered no official statement on the situation when contacted by our journalists.

Jurors Opt for Death, Not Life in Prison for Captured Smugglers

The smugglers of the previous event face the death penalty.

Nazir Mo’fazad and his crew should face the death penalty and not a lighter sentence of life in prison, a jury said Wednesday. State prosecutors from the Ministry of Justice had been seeking the death penalty for illegal smuggling linked to the captured crewmen, charging them with transporting weapons and supplies to Hro'zamal and thus enabling remaining rebel cells to continue their futile fight against allied forces. They were also accused of profiteering off the transport and sale of exotic creatures native to Hro’zamal.

Just moments after the jury had handed down it’s verdict, Senior Magistrate Muzaam Falal summarily sentenced Captain Mo’fazad and his crew to execution by firing squad for their crimes against the state. He and his co-defendants were found guilty last week, which led to the sentencing phase of the trial today. Captain Mo’fazad was reportedly stunned by the sentencing, and collapsed into his chair in shock when the verdict was read aloud.

Captain Mo’fazad’s defense team declined to be interviewed by our reporters. During the trial, Mo’fazad’s lead lawyer claimed that his troubled upbringing - in which his mother and sister were killed in a Republican offensive - left him without the maturity and loyalty that a citizen of the Republic demands. However, State prosecutor Hakim Ch’url painted a much darker picture of the accused, laying full bear the severity of his actions - both against the State, and our citizens. One where the disgraced Captain raped and pillaged and stole to carve out his wretched path with no concern for the consequences of his actions.

Representatives for the Ministry of Justice had this to say when asked about the recent uptick in arrests and sentencing for smugglers operating in Hro’zamal’s vicinity:

“Clearly, the only way these pirates and lawbreakers will see the error of their ways is with the harsh penalties imposed by a court of law. Hro’zamal is trying to recover after being so thoroughly pillaged by these misguided rebels. Now, opportunists are trying to profit off of the suffering of our hard-working colonists. This sort of criminal behavior will not be tolerated. Hopefully these strong sentences will remind our fellow Tajara of the gravity of the crimes they commit. With Biesel’s inability to secure these wretched criminals in their own space, now more than ever the Republic needs to forcefully show how we deal with their kind.”

Their executions have not been postponed while the defense team appeals the decision. The Ministry of Justice has asked us to remind citizens that some of Captain Mo’fazad’s crew are still at large after escaping a boarding attempt by the Kosmostrelki. Be on the lookout for Arif Mrrazhughran, Aleksandra Mrrzauraugh and Ruhan Mroven, last spotted in port on the borders of the Srand’marr system. Concerned citizens may find their photos and further information on the Republic’s Most Wanted holonet site.

Artifact Returned to the Safety of Museums

The artifact of the previous is returned to the New Kingdom.

An ancient banner, dating around the 13th century A.I., was returned to the safety of the Miran’mir Academy of Scientific Pursuits this week. The artifact was found in 2461 during the excavations of an ancient battlefield in the province of Dymtris. The flag had been frozen in ice and it was well preserved. The standard was made with silk and gold thread, displaying a religious icon of S'rendarr. The object was named “Dymtris Banner” by its finder. Archeologists were divided between two theories: One claims that the item was only three hundred years old and was used during pre-revolution campaigns. The other hypothesis affirmed that the flag was weaved during the Warring Kings Era on Ras’nrr, it was later brought to Harr’masir during the Suns War.

The artifact was shipped to Tau Ceti at the start of this year, with the purpose of having its age verified by better-equipped laboratories. After initial tests, the second theory was invalidated. However, while the relic was being returned to Adhomai, its shipment was misplaced. The Dymtris Banner was sent to a NanoTrasen space station, the NSS Aurora, alongside a large haul of explosives. Kamyar Hourany, the curator of Miran’mir’s museum and responsible for the safety of the flag, boarded the facility to recover the missing item. Kamyar discovered that some unknown force planted several replicas among the shipment, in an attempt to fool the academy’s personnel. Faced with the threat of losing a piece of the Tajaran history, he acted fast with the help of the crew. After two hours of search and tests, he was able to recover the object with the aid of xenoarchaeologist Zirhal Rkanazirr, research director Rhashalii'rmirhan Khazmahr, assistant Muhawir Nawfal and janitor Viggo Mab.

The Dymtris Banner will now join the collection of the Miran’mir Academy of Scientific Pursuits. Curator Kamyar and the administration of the university have offered their gratitude to the crew of the NSS Aurora. Without their help, this part of our past would be forever lost.

As our readers may know, it has been 3 months since the armistice between Adhomai nations was established, ending a terrible conflict that had claimed countless lives. While the wounds may never truly heal, the nations of Adhomai are working diligently to mend the divides between them.

Now with the help of the Interstellar Aid Corps, the nations of NKA, PRA and DPRA are building bridges between Tajara, with a project called, “Stories of War and Peace”. This ambitious project seeks to find and publish any work related to the Adhomai civil conflict, life before it or the relief that came after it. Applicants may submit their work over Extranet, mail, or directly, as a group of representatives will be traveling all over known space to directly talk to and understand the pain those not present on Adhomai during the conflict might have felt.

“They arrre simply hoping that everryone who wrrites will wrrite in good spirit and that they’ll have fun doing it,” says Kasha Orlova, one of the representatives and a co-lead of the project.

President Hadii Address the Nation Before the Death of a Hero

The news in regards to the AI in the NSS Aurora reaches the People's Republic. President Hadii is not amused.

Despite the latest reports from the Ministry of Economy showing unprecedented economic growth, the people of our Republic were the unfortunate recipient of terrible news regarding the Adhomian community abroad. Subversive elements attacked a cargo ship in a display of cowardice that was carrying an important item, an artificial intelligence intended to help the development of the Tajaran community in Tau Ceti. Through the use of sabotage, they forced the spacecraft to dock on the NSS Aurora, a NanoTrasen station. The terrorists then attacked innocent Republican citizens with the objective of stealing our gift. Nikandr Morozov, a Tajara detective working in the security department, sacrificed himself in an attempt to stop the bandits. In spite of his bravery and patriotism, the artificial intelligence was lost but several lives were saved. The station crew also reported the blatant inaction of certain command members in regards to stopping the hostile elements.

Upon hearing this tale of courage and selflessness, President Hadii has decided to posthumously award Nkiandr the Hero of the People’s Republic medal and the Messa’s Virtue order, which is given only to Tajara that give their lives upholding the highest form of valor in battle. Standing before the image of the already built foundations of the Palace of the Free Tajara, President Hadii has addressed the entire nation, over television, radio, and newspaper with an inspiring speech:

“Comrades, we have always fought to keep the ideals of our Republic alive. And we should not stop now, even with such grave news fresh in our minds.. But we must never forget the great deeds achieved by Tajara loyal to our cause. Keeping the memory of them alive in our people is our duty. Even when we stand before this illusion of peace, we will remain alert that in the moment of need only our union through Hadiism matters. If fate once again calls us to arms, and no one doubts that the day will come - then we should not have a nation of craven and weak Tajara, but a people ready to stand up and take up arms once more. The nature of those weapons is not important, as long they are wielded by hands of iron and hearts of plasteel. So let us do our best to ensure that we will be ready for this day, both in Adhomai and anywhere else in the galaxy.”

After this heroic speech, the Ministry of External Affairs announced further trading sanctions against the Izweski Hegemony due to their imperialist politics against the Tajara.

A Tajaran circus visits Tau Ceti.

One of the most famous Adhomian circus, the Kalmykova Travelling Circus, has entered Tau Ceti this week. Founded in Mezuma in 2438, it toured all of Adhomai until the start of the Civil War. Several of its artists were drafted into the conflict, forcing the troupe to disband. The circus remained inactive for a decade, surviving as a dream among its former members and the population of Adhomai. The Armistice allowed the survivors to reunite and revive the travelling circus. To celebrate the return of the traditional festival, a galactic tour was announced. They plan to visit all major systems, from the Sol Alliance to the Jargon Federation. The Republic of Biesel has the honor of being their first stop on this stellar voyage. 

The circus will feature various acts including acrobatics, animal shows, strongmen display, magician and clown performances. Adhomian food and music will also be present during the presentations. The troupe plans to stay in Tau Ceti for three weeks, visiting all major cities on the system.

Mendell City's police discovers an illegal weapon deposit in Little Adhomai.

Acting under information provided by anonymous sources, Mendell City police seized a large number of illegal weapons during operations in District Six. Following two weeks of investigation and planning, agents of Tau Ceti law enforcement conducted raids against suspected gang hideouts. In just a single warehouse a total of eight thousand firearms were confiscated. Adhomian-made bolt action rifles, machine pistols, revolvers, and machine guns were found alongside explosives. Eight Tajara were arrested and charged with being involved in organized crime and smuggling; three of the suspects were residing in Tau Ceti through work visas. 

Despite the success of this operation, officers were unable to continue the searches due to the hostility of the population. Shortly after the first arrest was made, several locals encircled the police vehicles; shouting and throwing objects at the agents. Mendell City Police retreated from District Six to avoid further confrontation with the inhabitants, as more individuals rushed to their location. 

Mendell’s investigation division reported that many of the confiscated weapons serial numbers could be traced to the People’s Republic of Adhomai. The PRA embassy released an official statement explaining that those guns were stolen during the Tajaran Civil War, affirming that they are not associated with any criminal activity in Biesel.
