-=<Sneaky B News Network: Joint operation to Sedna in works>=-

"Working together with the Immortal Shogunate of Reploid Productions, Sneaky Bastards will be sending a colonization fleet to the newly discovered Sedna to establish operations on the planetoid. The Sneaky B fleet will combine with a fleet from the Shogunate to form the First RPRA Joint Colonization Fleet. Advance fleets from our operations out at two moons of Uranus will proceed to Sedna to establish the claims ofSneaky B.

A total of 72 ships from the Sneaky B Self-Defense Force and 12 from the civilian corporation Asakura Heavy Industries will be sent from Earth for this operation, with an additional 44 from the Uranus operations. At the time of this news posting it is unknown how many ships the Shogunate will be sending.

We will have more information on this story as we get it in.

Forty-four ships from the Third Defensive and Fourth Defensive Fleets broke orbit and immediately set course for Sedna, heading out at maximum speed. On the Third Defensive command ship Shinbatsu Captain Rachel Andrews drafted a message on her personal terminal.

3rd and 4th Defensive have set out as per orders to establish claims. However we are unsure if the Shogunate would like us to make a claim in their name or wait until their representatives arrive on scene. Please advise us as soon as possible.

It was announced today by the Shogunate government that the country's space forces will be conducting a joint mission with neighboring nation and ally, Sneaky Bastards. The details of the mission have not been released, but a spokesperson for the Space Corps has told us that a 'signifigant number' of ships from the Tenchuu fleet will join the Sneaky Bastards forces to establish an allied claim to at least part of the recently discovered planetoid Sedna.

Secretary of Foreign Affairs Tsume Dragonis has commented on the project, and states that the Shogunate is willing to negotiate with other nations wishing to claim parts of the planetoid as well, but that the Shogunate refuses to accept any nation's claim to the entire 1,800 km planetoid, given that no single nation has any real hold on Sedna at this time.

No comment has been made yet whether the RPRA colonization effort will join Trium member Freod's effort on Sedna or not, though it is assumed to two groups will work together.

We will have more information as it becomes available.

Hrm... looks like the Freod claim beats Phalanix's by a full day. Not like it's been recognized by the latter for all they say about legitimate claims... but oh well.
