Temporary openings for Law Enforcement.

With the recent departure of both active members of Hale's Moon's Sheriff's Department, the colony has been left with a void in Law Enforcement capability. While the citizens of Hale's Moon sincerely hope the departures are only temporary, recent actions on the colony have led the town council to seek an individual who can fill in on a contract basis. While professional security contract services are available, the council prefers someone familiar with Frontier Law, the unique position, and culture, of the colony itself.

This is listed as a Temporary Contract position, with the possibility of a permanent assignment. Interested parties are asked to speak to either the Mayor, or her secretary, in Hale's Moon's town hall. Applications will be reviewed by the Town Council before a final decision is made.

Another warbot spotted on Hale's

Yesterday, another of the heavily armed multi-limbed warbots was spotted on Hale's Moon. The device entered town and engaged several citizens and doing some moderate property damage, before ultimately being destroyed by the quick acting crew of the Firefly class transport Raivenn.

This is the second encounter in less than a month with these advanced war machines. Citizens are reminded that these devices are a good deal more dangerous that the defensive drones deployed near the Mines, that have sometimes been known to misidentify people and attack without warning, and are advised to seek shelter immediately and raise the alarm.

The Mayor's Office has been mum on whether these machines are related to the ones recently encountered on Blackburne.

The Citizens of Hale's Moon would like to thank the crew of the Raivenn for their quick actions to this immediate threat.

Repeated Raider Attacks

Recent Raider attacks on Hale's Moon - not associated with the remaining Loyalists - have become an increasing problem since the start of reconstruction and Hale's Moon's subsequent growing popularity as a cargo transfer station.

The Raiders appear well organized, landing in either small shuttles or medium light transports, making off successfully with cargo stolen from the transfer area beneath the platform or with vital spares taken from the hangar area.

Spacecraft used by the Raiders have been identified in one case as a light intermediate range shuttle and in another as a standard Aught-Three Firefly. The sheer popularity of that model in the Rim sectors makes positive identification difficult, but the vessel's Ident and markings have been broadcast over the Cortex feed to other worlds in the region.

Citizens are asked to remain vigilant and raise the alarm if suspicious persons are seen milling about the cargo transfer area, general store, or hangar and maintenance facilities.
