Battle of Luthien

The assault took everyone by surprise. Following a sudden communications blackout a huge clan Smoke Jaguar invasion force appeared above the sky of Luthien. While gaining the initial upper hand and making good progress the Clanners were unable to hold on to the majority of key military installations when the DCMS poured out from their hidden underground bunkers and ambushed the enemy approaching the gates of Imperial City.

At the height of the battle two clusters of Clan Smoke Jaguars battlemechs along with several binaries were surrounded outside the city. The scale of the fighting was enormous as reinforcements from the New Star League used hidden jumppoints and were able to successfully bypass the blockade to land their forces. After suffering appalling losses the Clans did the unthinkable. With their tails tucked between their legs the Jaguars withdrew. Surprisingly, messages intercepted from Clan Galaxy Commander Prussian Havoc were heard actually praising the DCMS for the opportunity to engage in such challenging conquests. This victory came at a huge cost to the defenders with heavy casualties reported among the elite DCMS units Night's Scorn and the 6th Rangers.

In wake of this climactic battle the Jaguars changed strategy. Licked but not beaten, the crack Jaguar unit Smoke Adders completely encircled Luthien by capturing the worlds of Yumesta, Leiston, and Chatham in a lightening blitz. The Clan containment zone and complete superiority in warships prevented reinforcements from reaching the affected worlds in time. In addition the Merc Unit Varangian Guard has now switched from the Inner Sphere and helped the Clanners to seize Killmarnok. Calls for a Mercenary Review Board grow louder as some Merc Units are clearly playing both sides in this conflict.


FWLM Sarna March Offensive Update

The recent FWLM offensive into the Sarna March has captured the worlds of Zurich, Aldebaran and Nanking from the Federated Suns. The Marik Gunfighter Alliance then spearheaded an attack on the rich agricultural world of Liao. The League forces penetrated deep across the endless grasslands but were spread thin capping important centers of resistance.

Local inhabitants concealed the Australasian Royal Mechanised Division who were then able to group up outside the Forbidden City and mount a surprise counterattack on the MGA supply depot and dropships. No serious assets were lost but the confusion allowed the Davion Loyalists Aces Wild to gain the upper hand in the Boreal Forest on the island continent of Anderia. Discretion is of course the better part of valor as the dropships returned for an orderly withdrawal of FWLM units.


Free Raselhague Republic Fights On

The Republic is now down to 13 planets including Tukayyid and the beleaguered capital of RaselHague. Tukayyid was reoccupied by the KungsArme before handing the world over to the Comstar's Elite PGI Division under a cloud of secrecy. What Comstar has in store for Tukayyid is unknown but promises to become an unprecedented event in our community warfare.

A number of FWLM affiliated Merc units are currently fighting for the FRR safeguarding the future of the galaxy. Lets all give a big cheer to the recent success of Black Widow Company in the defense of Domain and to Seraphim for the defense of Thun. Keep up the good fight!


The Trouble with Kurita

The Draconis Combine leaders have always regarded the decentralized powers in the League as an example of the wrong way to govern. Over time this has been expressed with a not so secret desire to take over the League and impose their authoritarian ways on us. This would not be good for business. The Combine's narrow victory at Luthien only underscores the importance of coming together and putting aside our differences before it is too late. This hope is what the New Star League represents.

With the wormhole closed and the Dieron district back in Combine hands relations are slowly warming. Good fences make good neighbors and the lack of an easy attack corridor has made as much as an impact for peace than all the veiled threats and insults exchanged across diplomatic channels have done to counter it. Still the prospect of an Inner Sphere wide soft-ceasefire remains remote as relations between House Kurita and House Davion are almost non-existent.


Unrest in Skye

Discontent grows in the Federation of Skye as losses continue to mount for the Federated Commonwealth. The fall of key worlds in the Tamar March has spurred separatist feelings in Skye at the perceived lack of strong leadership. This has shaken faith in the ability of the LCAF to protect Skye. Uncertainty reins in this industrial heartland as the LCAF sacrifices soldiers in holding actions in an effort to prove their resolve in protecting all members of the Commonwealth.

Meanwhile battles continue to rage in the Pandora Operations Area as the 12th Donegal defends Orkney from attacks by Clan Jade Falcon. The League has graciously shown its peaceful intentions and ideals by avoiding serious conflict on the Steiner border.

Kuritan Conspiracy Theories

The Draconis Combine has accused the FWL intelligence service SAFE of covert operations aimed at destabilizing border defenses. According to a high ranking member of the DCMS there exists a shadowy group of elite pilots that were using alternate accounts to covertly aid Clan Smoke Jaguar in their attack on Luthien. The FWL Parliament has issued a statement denying all involvement in these baseless conspiracy theories and reaffirmed the commitment of all people in the League to fight against the clans.

However, this does call into question the role that House intelligence agencies have played in the war thus far. Some like the unit list developed by Loki agents from the Skye Rangers have contributed greatly to the war effort. Nevertheless, closer military ties resulting from the sharing of information entail the risk of infiltration by foreign agents. It is imperative that SAFE continues to develop strong counter-intelligence to thwart the pretensions of the many enemies of freedom.


Federated Suns Counteroffensive

Buoyed by the acquisition of several merc units the AFFS has undertaken a vast counteroffensive on all fronts. Intense fighting between the 4^th Regulan Hussars and the Davion sponsored Apocalypse Lancers has broken out on Liao and Aldebaran. In response the FWL Parliament issued a statement supporting the Principality of Regulus and has allocated additional funds for border expansion.

Along the Combine border Mercstar has helped the AFFS to retake Kentares IV. In a repeat of the events of the first Succession war the demoralized Davion forces have rallied and pushed the Kuritans back world after world. Spurred on by the construction of a deeply offensive Draconis War Memorial the AFFS now has the Combine in full retreat across the sector.


MercStar Diplomatic Incidents

Mercstar left the Clans following a diplomatic incident wherein MS questioned the competency of the Ghost Bear leadership. Viewed with suspicion across the Inner Sphere their successful attacks on House Kurita triggered a war of words on the HPG Networks triggering a rare Comstar rebuke threatening interdiction. Whatever the outcome the Free Worlds League maintains that freedom of expression is a core value that should not be compromised.


New Community Manager

Comstar has officially declared a new Precentor ROM. Tina Benoit now occupies the prestigious position which oversees the day to day operations of the Comstar representatives to the Inner Sphere. Functionally she will serve as the Community Manager utilizing the HPG network forums. Ms. Benoit comes highly recommended and is perhaps best known for convincing the ever warring factions on the distant world of Petra’s Planet to lay down their weapons in a lasting peace.

Battles on Skye

The offensive against the Commonwealth came to a head with battles raging on the important industrial world of Skye. The Skye Rangers of Terra and the LCAF rallied to its defense resulting in the temporary withdrawal of the FWLM. While progress has been slow on other fronts the League has made steady progress in the capture of several Commonwealth systems. Conscious of civilian casualties the FWLM always focus their efforts on key military sites keeping collateral damage to a minimum.


War with Kurita

The FWL Parliament ratified a motion formally declaring war on the Draconis Combine. Following lengthy debate the vote was cast with the Militarist Faction gaining a slight majority over the Independent and Opposition factions. The Duchy of Andurien led the opposition and called for a general strike hoping to bring about a change in foreign policy. Sherryl Halas of the Duchy of Oriente called such measures naive arguing that the Dracs continue to threaten the freedom of the League even while Luthien suffers orbital bombardment and their people die by the millions in the clan invasions. So ravaged are the DCMS that the starving brutes run from the Bears, Wolves and Jaguars to raid League planets for food and the highly prized spacebacon.

The lack of a formal education often leaves Kuritans unable to tell the difference between their opponents confusing their Inner Sphere enemies with Clanners. Top trending vidtapes from Silver Hawk Night Live lampoon this behavior with hilarious skits featuring bumbling, dim-witted Dracs. Of course this comes as no surprise as the standard of living in the Combine is shockingly low, even compared to Davion periphery standards.


Allison Mechwarrior Institute Expansion

The Allison Mechwarrior Institute has begun a large renovation to the campus on New Olympia. The Captain General was on site at an official dedication ceremony filled with distinguished alumni. Once complete this expansion looks set to double the number of students admitted. Named after Harlon Allison the last Allison Duke of Oriente, he was commander of the 1^st Fusiliers of Oriente and racked up 127 kills during his service. Inspired by their founder the graduates from this prestigious Military Academy go on to serve illustrious careers with distinction in the FWLM.


Canopian Trade Delegation

A trade delegation from the Magistracy of Canopus is touring the League and opening up new business opportunities for enterprising citizens. Representatives from Mindstar Enterprises have just concluded a deal with HiPoint Traders and are involved in negotiations to sign long term leases with bazaars on worlds near the periphery. The FWL Index closed higher today upon comments from rotund business analyst Buffet Warren that the main aim of this delegation is to reopen trade routes to the Duchy of Andurien that were closed following the Andurien Crisis.
