Fri. Jan 13, 3049: an investigation is underway after a 2nd CRC Meteor crashed within city limits, igniting a blaze that claimed a dozen lives.

And where was it? You could have said that.

[Mason Grimm]

So which city limits did this take place within?

So question... since twitter is just being used to send us to the website... why are you sticking with twitter sized posts for the news flashes?

Mind you Mr. Bills is busy enough haha, 180 char or what not is probably about as much time as he can have

The Meteor Heavy Strike Fighter was billed as the standard that other heavy atmospheric fighters are judged by following the announcement of its release in 2665. Seeking to claim a slice of the same military niche of for-export conventional fighters as Andurien Aerotech's Angel and Imstar Aerospace's Defender, the Federated Suns-based Jalastar Aerospace of Panpour chose to focus almost entirely on planetary militias in the Terran Hegemony. Third-party sales during the Star League era and examples captured as the Hegemony was sliced up after the League's collapse made the Meteor the template for heavy strike fighters everywhere.
While more expensive than turbine-powered designs, the wealthy and technologically-advanced Terran Hegemony buyers welcomed Jalastar's choice of a GM 225 Atmo-Fusion Engine to power the Meteor, which gave the fighter both a respectable airspeed, heavy weapons load-out and two and half tons of armor. Three tons of fuel gave the design good endurance for its role. The Meteor's primary weapon is a single nose-mounted Mydron Model B Autocannon/10 supplied with two tons of ammo, providing sustained medium range firepower. Backing up this up are two wing-mounted Holly SRM-4 with two tons of ammo, ideal for ground attack. Often billed as a "bomber-fighter," the Meteor frequently flew into combat with its nine external hardpoints laden with enough ordnance to threaten even the toughest foes.

Well, its davion junk, hopefully crashed in new avalon

[verybad]

New Avalon has a Fiat shield, it is impervious. Everyone in New avalon simply smiles and sings a happy song and the danger goes away.

New Avalon looks like a 1950s musical.

The hiiiiiiiiiiiiills are aliiiiiiiiiiiiive with the sounds of laaaaaaaaaaaassers...

[Lina Thoren]

If I remember correctly, CRC = Confederation Reserve Cavalry, which would means that it was a Liao atmospheric fighter that went down.

[Prosperity Park]

The 2nd Confederation Reserve Cavalry was driven from the planet Palos by the 12th Vegan rangers during the Forth Succession War, with their remaining two battalions spending the next many years performing light raids along the Capellan Confereration/St. Ives Compact border. I don't know exactly where they were stationed in early 3049, though...

Death becomes the citizens who know not the blad or the gun. Let them give their lives so the fighters of our age can be born... "The Book of Fenrir."- Self written refrence for self written book on ways to combat other mech pilots and deal with grief at colateral damage to civilian populace.

Death becomes the civilian who know not the laminated ballistic glass, nor the composite structural armor between studs.
