Subject: "A Most Disturbing Discovery"

"Attention all military personnel and interstellar travelers hoping to reach the Nielspi or Aldorine Systems: don't."

"Both systems have been conquered and placed under Hagbeadi protection. That's right, Hagbeadi this far east. The sudden and strategic acquisition of the Northeastern Gergosphere marks a great vulnerability placed upon us, as most of our navy is already out fighting the Threshers and brigands of the Grimlands. I fear we may have to reach out to the Milnilchlanese about this, as they are also threatened by this new development."

"But how did the Hagbeadi manage to bypass the Bletcher's League and the Northern Gergosphere in general? Captive Hagbeadi, enterprising travelers, and recon posts along the northern border of Milnilchlan and Bletcher's League have detected a region of space similar to trade routes found in the Galactic Far East and the Pre-Wipe Era. This region of space has been dubbed the "Aldorinan Highway", as it terminates in the Aldorine System and appears to be used to ferry large numbers of Hagbeadi across the galaxy, cutting a multi-year journey down to a mere few months."

"It is still unknown whether this 'highway' was artificially created recently or has existed previously, but what is known is that this discovery could explain certain doom---unless the Milnilchlanese agree to military collaboration. It would be extremely useful to be able to occupy or raid portions of the highway, stranding the Hagbeadi in Nielspi and forcing them to brave the central Gergosphere or the Divide."

"We already have Admiral Von York and his armada group on the case, with the Sckithivyar System under the watchful eye of Admiral Ulysses in his stead, with Admiral Belrut also available if needed. Keep the Gergitorian Spirit alive if we can, and Jim Save The Gerg."
