MAJOR TODD "MANIAC" MARSHALL: How would you like to...

NEWS ANCHOR: Good evening. Welcome to the TCN Nightly News, I'm Barbara Miles. In our lead story, we'll be talking to Admiral Tolwyn of the SRA regarding the escalating tensions between the Frontier Worlds and the Confederation. The Union of Border Worlds, as they now call themselves, indicate they remain at peace with the Confederation, but that Confed bylaws and constitution no longer govern them. In response, the Great Assembly has decreed that Border World vessels can no longer operate within Confed territory, unless under military escort. We go now, live, to Admiral Geoffrey Tolwyn at Confed HQ. Admiral.

ADMIRAL TOLWYN: Hello, Barbara. Good evening, everyone. For weeks now, we've been experiencing an increasing harassment of legitimate Confed space operations. I'm afraid innocent people are being murdered and chaos is the result. Until we bring these perpetrators to justice, I'm afraid we must monitor all traffic flying under a different flag.

NEWS ANCHOR: Admiral, can the Union of Border Worlds and the Confederation come to terms?

ADMIRAL TOLWYN: Well, Barbara, what other choice do we have?

NEWS ANCHOR: Thank you, Admiral.

ADMIRAL TOLWYN: Thank you.

NEWS ANCHOR: Next up, the scores for the Galactic Cricket Cup.
