Mt Hephaestus, the largest active volcano on the Tierra Del Fuego continent, erupted yesterday, spewing billions of tons of debris into the upper atmosphere. Volcanologists were nearby to monitor the eruption, which may pose a danger to the cities of the Dismal continent, on the other side of the world. The best meteorologists from the Commonwealth and the Federated Suns are on-hand to examine the effects of the eruption on the weather patterns of Vulcan.

In an embarrassing show of Lyran military might, the LCAF has lost 90% of the Isle of Skye to the AFFS since the start of the Galahad Games. Elite Federated Suns units have outsmarted and outfought their Commonwealth counterparts throughout the contested worlds of Skye. The Galahad Games are pointing out the inadequacies of LCAF doctrine and military preparedness, which will have to be addressed in the coming months.
