Captree News

If Lia hunts up some news on Captree, she will find a local bulletin:

• Despite rising Naki tensions in Octants 1 and 2, the Legion’s 3rd Fleet has been reinforced with elements of the 39th Fleet to be stationed at Captree and Newerth to deter smuggling and piracy activity.  Mers should be reassured that there is no military threat expected from the Seperatists.
   
• Captree’s Governor has announced that negotiations between the planetary Secretariat and the Planning, Resources and Industry Bureaus over construction of the new arcology at the edge of the Lesser Archipelago have been completed and Stage 2 construction will begin shortly.  No decision has yet been made as to whether the new construction will be incorporated into the LAR administrative region or form its own new region.  
   
• The local Mining Bureau continues its talks with the Trade and Planning Bureaus to expand operations to the rich resources in Luther’s Belt, suggesting that a specialised emigration lottery from Zargonia might be an option to overcome the expected workforce shortfalls there. 
   
• The Trade Bureau has announced a new initiative with the Separatist government regarding opening up further categories of goods for cross-border trade.
