Altairian officials announced the signing of the Near
Earth
Defense Association. Altair, along with the nearby worlds of
Yorii and Asta, has set up the Association to establish better
military preparedness and coordination among the member worlds.
The Association is strictly defensive, and there are some rumors
that NEDA is courting worlds in the Free Worlds League and the
Capellan Confederation as possible members.

A Lyran fleet appeared at the Zenith Point of Altair.
Local
defenses were quickly mobilized, but the fleet was just part of
the Galahad Games being conducted across the border. Fleet
Admiral Carmen Ibanez apologized to the Combine and explained
that a malfunction in the navigation computers was to blame for
the misjump. The 18th Dieron Regulars remained on alert until
the Lyran ships recharged and jumped out.

Observatory Destroyed by Terrorists

The Mount Altair Astronomical Observatory was attacked
by
an unknown Mech lance. The terrorist strike severely damaged
the main telescope, although damage to other buildings was light.
Captain Izzy Finch, of the Royal Guard, was the first Mech on
the scene and his heroic efforts prevented the total destruction
of the Observatory. In Captain Finch's expert opinion, the Mechs
were part of a Davion terrorist cell operating on Altair.
