Just got back from hunting some Tetatae Braves. they werent too tough. they willingly followed my locust thinking it was their god. Led them into a huge cage where i shot them up.
The Braves are quite tasty. I reccomend them to everyone who loves eating birds
Guys, we've intercepted something interesting tucked away in one of the comms from the latest HPG transmission off some backwater in the Capellan March.

TRAGEDY STRIKES THEATRE TROUPE ON BROCKWAY
June 23rd, 3049, 4:01 local time
A group of local militiamen (The Brockway Ballin' Bawdy Punchinello Players) preparing for a production of the pre-Star League drama "Chicken Little" were killed in what is apparently a pirate action by a yet-unidentified mercenary lance. During the surprise incursion, in which an unmarked Locust was seen scouting the settlement where the play was being rehearsed. Scrambling with barely a moment's notice, the militiamen set out to chase down the scout while still wearing their costumes, only to be ambushed by what survivors describe as 'Mech sized "shotguns" hiding in the foliage--what sources groundside identify as "LB-X Autocannons." Local government has begun lobbying the planetary governor to begin retaliation against the recent surge of pirate activity, and word has it a new posting to hunt these technologically-advanced pirates will reach the MRBC as of this broadcasting. However, rumors persist that the recent increase in military movements across the border in the Taurian Concordat might have something to do with this unprovoked raid on Federated Sun civilians, and already representatives of the local militia are clamoring for action to be taken against their belligerent neighbors.
(What strikes me as most interesting is that the residents of FedSun podunk worlds haven't heard about the reclaimed Star League tech yet. I mean, it's uncommon but shouldn't be
unheard of. Do they even know how to read?)
