Last week, KrathNet was invited to attend an exclusive news conference by the recently announced 'Rift Alliance', also known as the RA. Upon arrival, we were told that Bancho Curr, Industrial Council Chairman for the RA, would be giving a press briefing.
"Good morning. To celebrate the momentous changes across the galaxy related to the Rift Alliance, we are holding 'Krath Expo', a showcase of high grade military technology, limited edition goods, future products, trade package offers and much much more! There will be discounted prices on wares from all over the Rift Alliance and limited quantity sales on restricted technology such as the ATR-6 assault transport. All the wares will be present and available for their new owners to collect. The RA will also be bringing several of their latest warships for the curious who might wish to walk around and see high grade technology first hand. There will be several games, events and competitions throughout the two week period, which will start on Year 17, Day 0. A new Celebration Nova Crystal has been commissioned and will be available through prize draws and auctions at the event. As with previous special editions, limited numbers means that less than a dozen sentients will get their hands on one!
"As with the recent swap meets that have gone on around the galaxy, anyone that wishes to come to the Expo and sell their wares is more than welcome to. The Expo will be hosted on Yelsain in the Minos sector, a system recently discovered by the Rift Alliance. Security and freedom of movement is assured for everyone. All of the RA manufacturing corporations will be represented where they will be available to sell large quantities of their finest goods. As a group aligned with and actively supporting the Galactic Alliance, we will announce later the list of GA groups who wish to join us in celebrating and indeed in showcasing and selling their wares to the discerning public.
"If anyone wishes to participate in Krath Expo, has any questions or wishes to make a related enquiry, please contact our Expo organiser - Grand Seneschal Ellias Aubec. For instance Tolando Krieg will be organising a special Krieg's Run race during the Expo where one of the prizes will be one of these Expo Nova Crystals."
KrathNet has discovered that Krath Expo will be home to businesses that are currently unknown. For instance, we have uncovered shipping manifests for a large quantity of beverages originating from the Lol system. We will provide more news on this as the situation develops.
In other news, renowned Bounty Hunter Diabolus`ut Persolvo is rumored to have been seen delivering a fugitive to Krath Enforcement Officers in the Eastern Territories recently. When asked for comment a Krath official who asked to remain anonymous stated that the famed leader of the Morgukai Sect of Nikto had helped resolve a tense situation with a Krath dissident suspected of underworld ties and ship hijacking. When asked what the Bounty Hunter had been paid, or the exact identity of the criminal, the official refused to make further comment citing that release of that information was above his pay level.
