Groups advocating for collectivism have consolidated together in correspondence with their ideals, much to the chagrin of the aristocracy. A celebration occurred among the groups recently when a few individuals belonging to them were recently picked to join the ruling bureaucracy
Some groups of citizens have taken note of our fellow vassal state the @of_galactic and have begun to peacefully call for possible application of collectivism within our own regime. Despite pressure from the aristocracy, no action has been taken against these groups at this time.
Workers are required to be given proper equipment and safety training. The ban on unions and striking has been lifted and citizens have been granted the right to assembly, provided they do not endanger others through negligence or malice.
Admiral-Regent Vulmno has passed many sweeping reforms as of late, including the revised Citizen Living Rights Act. Citizens are now entitled to a living standard equivalent to that of social welfare as defined by the Galactic Community.
The act has codified numerous workers rights as well, much to the chagrin of the aristocracy. In terms defined by the Galactic Community, workers are barred from working involuntarily over eight hours a day for more than five days a week.
The investigation into the RedFeather incident that occurred recently has proceeded well. Enforcers have successfully raided and shut down the remaining terrorist cells, though the stolen tombs and caskets from the palace mausoleum still elude us. The search will continue.
As for @HiveCrown itself, our borders will now be closed to all entry from the hive. We will not tolerate your attempts to threaten our citizenry into submission. Incursions will be met with force.
A group of independent prospectors were ambushed and taken hostage by @HiveCrown earlier in an attempt to extort the Systems for unjust reparations. The situation was resolved thanks to the swift intervention of our overlord @EmpireGogana.
Attention @KeporoSystems. A swarm of your ships has been discovered prospecting in the space belonging to our masters.
We have taken your ships as penalty.
The Crown Hive desires reparations for their return.
Citizens across the Systems have reaffirmed their loyalty to the Astral Empire following the incident, as they rightly should. Additional patrols will be assigned to the rimward border to prevent this hostile hive from attempting such an incident again.
@HiveCrown That space was unclaimed as there was a lack of outposts or fleets to show and enforce a claim. You knowingly entered the system to ambush and take prisoner our independent citizens. By the Empress, we will retaliate tenfold if they are not released now.
@HiveCrown Greetings Axhaad. I greet you on behalf of the Empress, formally this time...
While our borders remain open due to recent policy changes, you would do well not to expand into any systems under our control.
We do not know of these "masters" you have described.
Patrol fleets have reported a new unidentified presence on the rimward border. Contact has been made with alien ships belonging to a vast sapient organism that has expanded near...
Civilian casualties have been kept to a minimum though analysts have been left baffled by the regions targeted. The palace mausoleum was raided during the attack with several tombs stolen including that of the late Empress Tokaimu, our previous ruler. A search is underway.
Extensive crackdowns on Keplo have occurred after the infamous terrorists known as the RedFeather Army launched an attack on the capital today. Enforcers were quick to dispatch or capture most insurgents before much damage could occur. Those captured are undergoing interrogation.
Many changes regarding migration policy have occurred. The process of allowing free travel has been streamlined with restrictions removed, citizens are now free come and go as they please in accordance with galactic law. Immigration from alien nations has been permitted as well.
Many changes in foreign policy have been finalized and we are once again opening our space to foreign markets and diplomats. Additionally, restrictions on our own citizens travel are being lifted and Keporo are now permitted to travel beyond our borders. We are open to embassies.
@EmpireGogana@of_galactic The regency has reviewed the proposal and accepted to grant an immediate charter to the organization. We are in the process of setting aside federal holdings and districts for the Guild to utilize and operate out of.
@EmpireGogana Our methods are admittedly amidst reform as traditionally it would be carried out by the noble who owned the territory, sentences varied greatly. Recently it is now decided by the central government. Forced labor, solitary imprisonment, or execution are typical for rebels.
The last of the remaining few hidden rebel holdouts that remained on Gopnuii have been captured. A parade has been organized lead by the army groups responsible for this victory alongside the local garrison which will display the scum who were captured for all to see.
@VegvaSignal These are terrorists. They took advantage of the brief upheaval time period in which the Astral Empire rightfully subjugated us. They will be granted adequate living conditions for their surrender.
