14:45 <ERIS> SITREP: Federation forces have dispersed demonstrators and dismantled barricades on Horizon's Atrium. The use of sonic suppressors impeded efforts to lace the barricades with improvised explosive devices. 18 arrests have been made following the atrium demonstration. Weapon sweeps are currently being conducted, with incidences of violence breaking out as colonists resist the seizure of armaments. A search of AMC munitions at the supply station has revealed missing inventory of over a dozen explosive devices used in the barricades of the atrium. Ground forces are currently conducting weapon sweeps and estimate time to completion at 20:00.

14:46 <ERIS> [color=fff200]@Cmdr Nought[/color], [color=fff200]@Cmdr Terren[/color]; Preliminary scans of the Armstrong planetary system have been completed. I have counted 3,443 ships in the vicinity of Armstrong and its moons. Traffic density in the sector has been classified as moderate. Majority of ship signatures correspond with freighters and passenger vessels, though there are some anomalies. I have detected two warships, a destroyer and a frigate class registered to a private security contractor, Dubai Security Solutions, holding position at .314. I am also detecting a masked signature at .122 bound for Hadfield, and NAV ping at .445.
