Aperture Director Lance Alan
[/size]
Newest Military Announcement from Aperture: Earlier this morning, Aperture Director Lance Alan announced three new military vehicles that will be rolled out to the Army soon to bolster the Lagging behind U.N.S.C. vehicle force. The three project have been in development for some time according to Director Alan and are almost finished with testing, scheduled to enter full on production by the beginning of next year. The projects are:


The Merlin MK.2: a light scout vehicle, based of the Merlin Mk.1 with the rear mounted turret replaced by further passenger transport.


The Gravewalker: A light tank, designed to be used in situations where the Reaper is just too big and unwieldy to be used effectively.


And The Arthur: A heavier more armored troop transport, designed to replace the Merlin as the main transport in the military, with the Merlin taking a backseat as a scout vehicle. The Arthur features a modular rear end that can be changed from an extended troop cabin to a mounted turret similar to the Merlin.

Lord Minister of Affairs Serena Bartrove
Council Of 11 returns to Council of 10: Late last night Lord Minister of International Affairs Jack Denton turned in his resignation to Supreme Commandant Wesley after learning that his wife was pregnant. He wanted to spend his time at home with his family. In order to keep the council well rounded in all aspects, Lord Minister of Internal Affairs Serena Bartrove has been tasked with combining her offices with the offices of International Affairs forming the new title of Lord Minister of Affairs, not quite as catchy but way busier. We here at SNN offer Minister Bartrove our best wishes as she ventures into this new undertaking.

Breaking News
High Regent Evelyn Wesley
Announcment of Regency Promises Stability: It has just been released from the Imperial Palace that Queen Serenity Azurewind has signed an agreement with the former Vice Commandant Evelyn Wesley, daughter of former SC Randy Wesley and Sister of Former SC Isaac Wesley. This agreement will allow Lady Wesley to assume all of the roles and responsibilities of Queen Azurewind and act in her stead as Regent of Revana. The terms of the agreement, learned by a good source within the palace, seems to have two situations in which the Lady Evelyn can lose her powers. First, should she wish it, Queen Azurewind may take up her roles and responsibilities at anytime. Second, upon turning 16 and completing her education, the rightful hair Astrid Azurewind-Wesley, will automatically take over the roles and responsibilities of Queen and Supreme Commandant.

This agreement and new Regency promises to bring about a new term of peace and stability to Revana, which has been in a state of muted chaos since the assassination of Commandant Isaac. With the long string of terrorist attacks by the Remnants of the Enlightenment, and the attempted secession of Tal'Ocia last month, it'll be interesting to see if Lady Evelyn will have any more luck with stabilizing the nation than Queen Azurewind has had.

Nebulus CEO/Founder Ronald Hughes

New company pushes Revan further than ever in Space: Billionaire Ronald Hughes, cofounder of Aperture Laboratories, has departed from his old company and started yet another interesting company, Nebulus Aerospace, now being called just Nebulus. The company is the first privately owned space "agency" if it could be called that, and has already made waves in just a few hours with the bold statements that were made by Mr. Hughes.

"I plan on having our first orbital capable rocket finished with construction and ready for public use within 3 months. After that we'll begin the real fun, crew capability, which I want to launch the first unmanned version in March of 2022 with plans on a crewed mission in September. Honestly the real excitement is a piece of tech that was theorized for quite a while in the 60s that we're bringing back in a heavy version of our payload lifter design. With this tech, that we're keeping a secret for now, we'll be able to take fairly large payloads to the Moon, Nergal, and Ishtar, and one day even farther once it's been optimized and improved on, the biggest catch is that for now, the rockets with this tech must be unmanned but we hope to solve that one day." Hughes stated in the press conference right after the announcement.

We here at SNN are certainly excited to see what Nebulus and Mr. Hughes has in store for Revana and the rest of the world.



Sports

Regent signs bill to create National sports teams:During the rush of bills brought out by the regent in her first few days in office a bill to create numerous national sports teams, supposedly because the Regent has decided she is tired of not seeing Revana attend or win anything in the annual Mundus Games, was signed off on. The way it's set up, starting in October, national venues will begin to open to public sports teams to compete in all of the different events at the games. After a period of trials and tests, a specific number of people in each category will be selected to compete in tournament style events and the winners of each of these events will go on to make up the national teams. This definitely excites all of us, who long to see the day when Revana brings home a few Gold medals finally.

Bombing Site in Haven

Bomb goes off in Downtown Haven: At 8:23 A.M. this morning a bomb was set off at a downtown store and residence. The yield of the bomb was enough to completely destroy the entire building as well as damage the two buildings on either side of the the original site. The Haven Police Department has confirmed that the family that lived in the home was killed in the initial explosion. So far reports state that a total of 6 people have died, along with 13 injured. It has also been confirmed that the Remnants of the Enlightenment have taken credit for the bombing, reporting that the family that was attacked had been celebrating the recent coronation of Regent Evelyn Wesley and in the words of the Remnants, "Supporting the continuation of the oppression of the Monarchy." The Regency and the council have yet to make a statement about the incident.

Flag of the Phoenix Corp

Change in Name and Structure of Supreme Commandos: The Supreme Commandos, the nation's premiere special forces, have recently been drastically overhauled, with a large recruitment drive, a new boot camp deep in the Varden Mountains near New Reach, and a complete restructuring of the command structure and training regiment. Now it has been announced that name of the legendary special forces will be changed, now being known as the Phoenix Corp, with the new motto "We jump into the fire and are Reborn from the Ashes." While most citizens are stating that it's all very cliché, they all agree that it's still much better than Supreme Commandos.

Andrew Scidonis Documentary Movie Announced: Earlier today, premier Revanan Director Emil Redding has announced that he is opening auditions for a documentary movie based on the later life of former leader Andrew Scidonis. According to Redding the movie will primarily focus on the relationship between Scidonis and Revanan founder Randy Wesley, and could also be considered a documentary about the actual Civil war that lead to the collapse of Haven and Scidonis' death. We for one look forward to seeing how this controversial and dark period of our past is handled.

Unrest in Haven Builds: The political unrest in the city of Haven, historically an Enlightenment supporting city, has increased the past few months reaching a fever pitch this week when a massive demonstration marched through the streets calling for the Secession of the Tal'Ocia region from Revana. The protesters have been confirmed to be Enlightenment supporters and the Tal'Ocia National Guard has been mobilized to the city in case the protests turn hot.
Regent Evelyn Wesley has been quoted: "While we encourage the right to protest, we will not acknowledge any ridiculous thoughts of breaking up Revana and we will not listen to the rambling of the Enlightenment fools."


Space News

Atlas 2 Launch Successful: After numerous delays and issues, the second launch of Nebulous' Alpha rocket finally went through this morning at 8:52am. The Capsule successfully made it to low Mundus orbit and has currently completed 7 orbits. It will stay in this orbit performing maneuvering tests for the next 3 days before deorbiting and splash landing in the Azure Sea where it will be picked up by the HMS Maxson, an Executor Class Destroyer.

Not long after the launch, the first stage booster plummeted back to the ground towards the Nebulous drone ship You Can Do It to attempt a landing for recovery and potential reuse. Sadly this was unsuccessful and the booster landed in the water 200 meters from the ship. The booster has ben recovered and is being looked through to see what went wrong.

Mt. Tower showing signs of Eruption: Mt. Tower, the tallest mountain in Revana, is well known around the nation as one of many active but quiet volcanoes scattered throughout the Sovereigntyian mountain range. Recent years of study have given scientists an idea of the cycle of eruptions the mountain follows and many residents got nervous a few years ago when they announced that eruptions seem to come roughly every 300 years and the last was in 1528, nearly 500 year ago. Most scientists calmed these fears pointing out that cycle analyzing isn't an exact science and there's no signs the volcano couldn't stay quiet for another 500 years.

These fears have resurged lately as a sharp rise of earthquakes have been experienced throughout the Tal'Varden area, especially around the town of Caspen as the base of Mt. Tower. even more noticeable, last week citizens of Caspen have had to shut the local popular hot springs to the public, as the temperature has risen far beyond safe levels, and has continued rising the past few days. The last noticeable sign that something is up is the subtle swelling the mountain has gone through the past 2 weeks along with numerous steam vents opening up across it's face.

While many scientists are saying that while an eruption is possible, it's also possible that this is just the mountain releasing built up pressure. Nevertheless, Regent Evelyn Wesley has begun making preperations to begin evacuating the populace of Caspen to refuge camps in New Reach in the coming weeks, as a precaution.
