Welcome to Cykotic News.

Cykotic has been left in flames overnight as a Computer Virus infected the central computer network for the Ion Cannon Defence Network.

This dramatic Photo was taken by Cykotic News as the incident happened.

Seven of the twelve cannons were infected and fired on the nation last night leaving most, if not all of the nation in flames. 59% of the nation was attacked with almost 8000 dead. One of the targets was a Neutronium Extraction plant in Trasia City.

Lt Cmdr Shaun Mal'ian is joining us on the videonet. What can you tell us so far?
So far, we have estimated that 8500 people are dead, The NS Hacker Centre has been destroyed, NS Security Concepts has been badly damaged and we can confirm that the Raptor Squad Headquarters has been obliterated killing the entire squad and others inside the building.
Could This be the work of Terrorists?
Unknown at this time. The Virus is believed to be new and does not have any codes that are connected to terrorist groups that we know of. This is very worrying.
Thank you.

I believe we have a picture of the headquarters...

The people of the federated anarchist communes of Neo-Anarchos unanimously give their condolences and support to the people of Cykotic. We hope that your nation will take a keener interest in computer network stability to prevent such a disaster from happening ever again. Neo-Anarchos has many programmers and phreaks, who can help you out by designing state-of-the-art antivirus hard/software, and at least half of them has already agreed to do so free of charge.

This is bad. We'll send our armed shuttles and tie fighters to destroy any ion cannons not under Cykotic control if you desire.
