Are you posting in PST or GMT?

Forum tells me that it was posted at 13:00 in my time zone UTC+4. That equals 09:00 UTC. PST is UTC-8, so if it's 13:00 in my time zone, it's 01:00 in PST - very easy to calculate, we're 12 hours away. Still on the site main page this news flash is marked as 09:00 PST, not 09:00 UTC.

This message was posted at 20:55 in UTC+4 or 16:55 UTC.

"When the Federated Suns captured the planet Mendham, the company Mendham Electronics requested that they be able to still produce their line of medical products. However, since the company was founded when Mendham was still part of the Capellan Confederation, they were untrusted. Thus the Federated Suns put the company under Economic Probation. Mendham Electronics was allowed to continue production, but every decision and move the company made for the next 15 years was watched closely for any trace of pro-Capellan or anti-Davion purposes. The year 3025 was their last year of probation."

"Formed in 2798, the Ministry of Information, Intelligence, and Operations (MIIO) is the civilian intelligence arm of the Federated Suns. Its military counterpart is the AFFS' Department of Military Intelligence."

Apparently, someone at MIIO suspects that something might be afoot at Mendham...?

LIes! spread by the filthy Fed rat scum!
We trade, like anyone else for products by the company, that is all.

One day Mendham shall return to the fold of the glorious Capellan Confederation
