KIDAN - Attacks by the Galactic Liberation of Wonder (GLoW) movement against Trifold Union forces have intensified throughout frontier space. Sources report that GLoW is no longer limiting its assaults to ARK Mandate teams, but is now also targeting research facilities, archives and even small colonies. The cause of this escalation is unknown, but it is proving to be a challenging overture for the newly-minted Union Defence Alliance (UDA).
The UDA is the much-lauded recent merger of ARK, certain Queil military units and most colonial security forces, which the Trifold Union has reportedly bought outright. Press statements around the launch of the UDA claimed that the united front would make certain the protection and preservation of Union space, but so far the Alliance has failed to put a stop to GLoW, to say nothing of other fringe threats.
Once considered no more than upstart activists, GLoW has rapidly escalated its actions to sabotage, kidnapping and deadly aggression. More worrying still, according to our source at the UDA’s headquarters on Kidan, is the fact that GLoW seems to be pre-empting the movements of ARK teams and lying in wait on terminal worlds, to seize threatened artifacts for their own ends. Whether this is down to luck, coincidence or an inside source remains to be seen.
Speaking on Kidan, Queil General Stele made the Union’s stance on this escalation abundantly clear: “Make no mistake, we are facing a guerrilla war against GLoW, and we will not rest until the frontier is free of threat.”
