Trouble Beyond the Border
The Travellers Aid Society on Hinay (2832 Foreven) has issued
an advisory for all Imperial citizens travelling in Reidan and Urnian
subsectors of Foreven sector.
The Hinay Protectorate must now be considered hostile towards the
Imperium. Imperial citizens should avoid this area if at all
possible. Ships of Imperial registries are being impounded and
their crew detained; passengers are being interrogated and either
expelled from the Protectorate or detained. Imperial citizens who
are already residents of the Protectorate are required to register with
the authorities, and may be subject to arrest without warning.
The Travellers Aid Society on Hinay is being permitted to
continue, and is currently able to provide sanctuary for any Imperial
citizens who have not been charged with an offence. TAS is
currently able to arrange charter mid passage for such citizens to Emape,
on condition that the passengers remain on board at all times until
reaching the Imperium. This, however, relies on the continued
cooperation of the Protectorate authorities, which cannot be guaranteed.
The situation appears to have been caused by a skirmish with allegedly
Imperial warships near the inner gas giants of the Hinay
system, resulting in the loss of three Protectorate cruisers and twelve
destroyers as well as other naval vessels and fighters. No
military action is taking place at present
Imperial Navy forces on Emape have been placed on high alert,
and extra forces have been requested from Iderati to respond to
this situation. Nevertheless, it is not believed that the
Protectorate Navy can present a credible threat to the peace of the
Imperium.
