The Federal Republic affirms its position that it would rather see all of this happen with Ixtarian funding and colonists without military support, we also recognize this as an internal Ixtarian matter and will not interfere, but will be monitoring the events as they unfold.

March 5th, Northern Wastelands


Now 3 month into the invasion of the Wastelands, the Ixtar government claims there have been a low to moderate level resistance by some of the tribes. To date the Ixtar government claims t hat 12 Soldiers have died in battle, 10 more are missing and believed lost in various blizzards. The Army's morale remains high and it seems to be very well equipped to last in the cold.


Around 10,000 Tribesmen have accepted the occupation with out incident, the building process has already begun just a few miles across the border. This will be the first city ever known to exist in the area. Thus far houses are being built to accommodate around 400 families. The government plan is to move 200 families from IXtar and 200 families from one of t he tribes into the city with in the next 5 months.


An exact count on nomad causalities is not %100 reliable, however, the IXtar military command believes that 400 have died in combat. Few surrenders have been accepted by both sides.

Ok, when we ship out I'll let you know and I'll also notify you when we arrive. We too are also fighting a war so it could be a few days before we arrive.
