In accordance with Chairman Volkov's recent statement on the need to further expand and consolidation of the Empire's industrial holdings, new effort is being placed to improve the economic status of the Empire.

By order of General Fedrickson of the Fourth Army, another 1,500 troops are dispatched to the Sarelian Islands in preparations for further exploration and expansion of the Empire's holdings in the distant yet potentially valuable islands, in conjunction with deployment of two destroyers and a light cruiser from the Home Fleet to escort and support them. Expansion plans of the colonies are also tabled to be discussed by the inner council pending reports from prospectors in the colonies and to be sent out.

Meanwhile, the Chairman enters into several closed-door meetings with his diplomatic and foreign advisors on potential of bolstering Anvegad industries with partnerships with foreign powers. Besides overtures of good will and partnership with Honneria, no major foreign policy has been decided yet due to domestic matters occupying much of the Chairman's time, but it is clear the Northern States will play a major factor into the future plans of Anvegad.
