INN: Castor relief stalled

Ursiniru -- The group hijacking medical relief shuttles in late February appears to have taken to committing its crimes on Castor itself.

Since the 15th of March, there have been six armed robberies on medical transports traveling to outlying towns and a mortar attack on the Ursiniru landing pad. Kenneth Shinoda of Cabrerra Industries, a major supplier of the civilian aid, remarked to the press, "It is simply incomprehensible to me that someone could justify any further injury to this peace-loving people." He pledged that CI will seek additional security contracts to protect their hospital deliveries.

The official response in this largely peaceful and law-abiding society remains limited by the circumstances. The Solar Republic, however, continues to lend its assistance by escorting medical transports, posting guards at the landing pad and major hospitals, and continuing to sweep the forest for the perpetrators.

In further news, the Vanguard Command commented that they have reassigned the battlestation 'Hancock' to the recovering planet, a renewed sign of determination to see the job completed.
