"After a massive protest outside the office of EDGAR for the creation of an army for Hab-Bubble24601, because a significant majority, 88% of the population (2% margin of error), said that Hab-Bubble24601 was far too defensless with it's single space battlecruiser, and that a full land air and naval army should be created. A recent string of terrorist attacks in large urban sectors has caused this surge of public activity, bigger than any seen in the short recorded history of Hab-Bubble24601. EDGAR decided 2 days after the initial protest, that an army would be instituted, which would consist of; 10,000 volunteers who will be trained for all types of combat with focus on ship boarding manouveres and urban warfare, 2 more battle cruisers, a battleship and 3 destroyers will also be built, with 7,000 volunteers trained in the operation of these vessels, and a small tank and artillery corps will be created, consisting of 100 tanks and 80 heavy artillery peices to be built, with 750 men to be trained for their operation. The entire project is scheduled take 10 years to be completed. In an official statement, it was said that hopefully volunteers will be found quickly, because every man and woman should have enough pride in their nation to do their duty and enlist. EDGAR has also promised that there will be no cutbacks in education and healthcare.This is Dave McEwan signing out for channel 1 news."
