Faction Renamed to Confederacy of Independent Systems, To House CIS Military
Year 12 Day 149
Today news spread over the Galactic News Service that the Security Faction Star`s Nova, a recent addition to the Confederacy of Independent Systems , was being renamed to the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The change, reflective of the factions new duties in the Confederacy, comes as little surprise to those familiar with the situation. Issues arose in the Confederate Senate regarding the double duty that was having to be done in Alliance Space.
Star`s Nova was using Corporate Alliance ships to patrol Alliance space. Alliance space, which makes up most of the CIS controlled space, was also set to be patrolled using most of the same ships by the CIS Navy. The ships had been offered up for the CIS navy, but were considered Reservist as the CIS has been working on construction of a fleet of its own. After deliberation in the senate, it was decided that the fleets would be combined and SN renamed. The New CIS faction will house all of the CIS military and focus primarily on keeping Confederate Space Secure and Safe. coupled with this announcement was the release that the First CIS -owned Warship, a Lictor, was started in the Hoersch-Kessel Drive Yards in Oseon. The ship, first of many planned, will be the head ship in the Second Confederate Fleet .
