RESETTLEMENT UPDATE

A faulty wiring in the Jason Centre teleporter caused the passenger to relocate several miles up in the air on rematerialization if accessed through Twin Peaks, Fort Ares or Jason Centre teleporters, and the Jason Centre teleporter was deemed hazardous by the Imperial Public Transportation Office. For your safety, it has been removed and replaced with one of the spare teleporters erroneously placed at Segna Forest. Teleporter service to Jason Centre should now work correctly, and there’s just one teleporter at Segna Forest.

The shopping container at the outpost south of Strength Keep has been excavated after the landslide and is now restored to working order.

Imperial Zoological Scouts have discovered that trilomites have returned to Amethera.

Imperial Mining Office is proud to announce the new and improved Oil Rig in the desert west of Nymphtown. “We know that this rig is located in bandit country” said Harlan Macaulay, spokesman for IMO, “but we feel that we have taken the necessary precautions to ward off raiders, and we look forward to the projected production increase of petrochemicals in the near future.” The new Oil Rig will undergo rigorous field testing before production starts.
