[h2]Hive extinguished on Raphurt's Moon[/h2]
2995.11.26

[h3]Federation forces converged on Koatev, Raphurt's lone moon, in order to extinguish a hive of insectoids. A nest was discovered below the settlement of Koav's Landing after a tract of land collapsed into their tunnel network. Insectoid drones, followed by soldiers, poured out of the opening, jeopardizing the city. The bugs were driven back and chased into their hive, where the queen and eggs were destroyed.

Up and coming Federation companies; Manny's Mechs, Nought Bio-warfare, and Lantallian Mercenary Guild, dispatched the bugs with efficiency. 

The Governor of the Bernard Colonial Government, Eli Goldman praised the work of the Federation in a statement released this morning, as well as that of the colonial militia. Marshall Ricks, Federation contact in the operation and commander of militia forces on Koatev, has since been named Deputy Director of the Bernard Colonial Marshals. 

The operation has made colonial headlines and even broadcast on Earth. An insectoid hive is rare outside of the Helix Nova System, and the Imperial Senate has launched an investigation, dispatching IMPSEC to Koatev. - FNN[/h3]
