CAMPAIGN UPDATE: During the past several months, Starbirth had become a "limited partner" in Nashimura's Earth-based crime ring. For a small share of the profits the Aleerin helped him with logistics, data, and electronics. After spending months on the Grid and getting close enough to Nashimura to gain acces to his personal accounts, she killed him point blank with her trademark mirror finish mass pistols. She drained his accounts and fled the Stellar Ring altogether. Now the sinister Starbirth is en route to Kixil Station, Kai system after being gone many months. As one would expect, the mechalus knows precisely the current situation: Commodore Nova -now Admiral Nova- & the crew of the LSIII were serving in the Alaundrin Stellar Navy, and the AI gridlord VECTOR FIELDS had assumed control of Kixil Station and all related faculties and facilities.
