Sheriff returns to post

After a brief departure "to settle some personal matters," Sheriff Gallagher has returned to duty as Hale's Moon's lead lawman. Details are sketchy, but Town Elders have confirmed that Hale's Moon has full time Law Enforcement at this time.

One of the Elders was quoted as saying: "The Militia's spread a bit too thin to be keepin' watch on folk an' fightin' Reavers at the same time. Folks like havin' a Lawman about."

The Mayor's office had no official comment on the Sheriff's departure and subsequent return.

Milita caught off guard in Reaver attack

The Hale's Moon Militia was caught off guard by an unexpected Reaver attack. Quick response by several residents prevented what could have been a massacre as the town Militia assembled, holding back the attacking Reavers until they could be reinforced.

According to Deputy Mayor Genni Foxtrot, "We didn't get a lot of warning on this one. Woulda' been a lot worse, weren't for Nack and General and the others holding the line. Real violent this time too. More'n usual."

Casualty reports were lighter than expected given the severity of the attack, though several townsfolk are still recovering in the Infirmary. A request has been sent to the local Alliance command to honor their commitment to provide medical supplies in the event of an attack.

The patrol Frigate IAV Abraham Sinkov, normally on station in this region, is currently resupplying from the Cruiser IAV Sun Tzu, and there is some speculation as to whether the presence of an Alliance warship would have prompted the Reavers to attack a softer target.

Hale’s Church Endures Repeated Assaults

BeleaguredChurch.jpg

The Hale’s Moon Church, located near the mines entrance and the Destiny Compound has been repeated assaulted.

Several weeks ago, the newly erected building was burned down. Photographic evidence suggests the Replicant Order was behind the arson.

Replicant Order spokesperson, Krenshar Magic, stated that the fire shows that building a wooden church near the mines entrance is unsafe.

Most recently, the church was assaulted again with a posed corpse near the main entrance.

Sheriff Gallagher Aeon said that preliminary forensics confirmed that the bodies were not reavers and not local to Hale’s Moon. It was also revealed evidence indicates that the bodies were deceased for a matter of years in some form of cryrogenic storage.

The Sheriff’s department would not reveal the identities of their main suspect. Said suspect reputedly has left Hale’s Moon, but the Sheriff’s Office said that it is monitoring its actions.

Further updates as they become available.

Previous corpses were sent offworld for forensics and hopefully for identification of the victims. Doctor Natirra Danick will perform lab tests on the more recent findings.

Previously Sheriff Aeon had hoped that forensics will be able to determine whether the corpses are reaver bodies or not, but Deputy Cody Winterwolf commented Friday that the preliminary results indicated that the first victims were probably not reavers.

Sheriff Aeon is currently offworld and will return in a few days, more updates at that time.

Several of the bags and bodies were found by Jango Fell. The Sheriff’s Office did not give specific details.

An egg painted with reaver blood was also found on display although currently there is no definite connection.

Sheriff Gallagher Aeon commented that, “It’s possible that the bodies are reaver corpses, but at this time it is not confirmed. Although we are treating this as a serial killer investigation we cannot confirm or deny anything at this point.”

Sheriff Aeon hoped that forensics will be able to determine whether the corpses are reaver bodies or not.

The Sheriff’s Office did not wish to comment on whether they expect further bodies to be discovered or why none have been found in the central areas of the settlement.

Hale's Moon Orbital completes 2nd stage deployment

After some delay in transporting the remaining modules, Kawanishi Heavy Industries Limited is pleased to announce that construction of the second stage of the Modular Maintenance Facility is complete. The additional modules should improve both capacity and capability of the facility.


In order to allow technical staff to more easily execute repairs on visiting spacecraft, the facility has added two enclosed hangar bays. Located above and below the main habitat, they allow repairs and maintenance to take place in a pressurized environment making life much easier for the maintenance crew.



The station has also added expanded bunkers for fuel and life support storage. This expanded capacity vastly increases the station's ability to refuel and resupply visiting spacecraft between tanker runs. There is also a high capacity solar furnace to augment the small fusion plant providing main power.





In order to facilitate easy transportation between the surface and the orbital, a dedicated hanger bay was added below Pad One for an automated shuttle system. These four place shuttles provide convenient an fast transportation between the orbital and a small shuttle port located at the edge of the colony's Maintenance and Cargo Handling facility.

The service is subsidized by KHI, and open for anyone who has business on the station.

With the added capacity, the Modular Maintenance Facility becomes the most advanced small yard in the region and the best option for light traders. While the installation is small, it has the specialized tooling to handle repairs to much larger spacecraft as well.

KHI looks forward to serving the local merchant fleet and Hale's Moon colony.
