Comm-Link: Terra Gazette - Terrorist Attack Linked to Frontier Fighters

Shocking news out of Pyro system, the Frontier Fighters, who had initially heralded themselves as a vigilante group determined to “put an end to the Pyro plague once and for all”, have been revealed to be responsible for the recent Slicer attacks that sent the Stanton system reeling. The staged attacks were seemingly an attempt to highlight the dangers of the outlaw population of Pyro and garner support for more decisive military action within the system. Now, since the reveal of the Slicers’ identity, the Frontier Fighters have been designated as a radical terrorist group whom the authorities are actively seeking out; especially their leader Amelia Boyd. Citing an anonymous tip, humanitarian group Citizens for Prosperity began to look into key communications between members of the Frontier Fighters, which ultimately revealed their involvement in the attacks.

The staged attacks were seemingly an attempt to highlight the dangers of the outlaw population of Pyro and garner support for more decisive military action within the system.

In a public comms message broadcast from an undisclosed location, Amelia Boyd commented on the Frontier Fighters involvement in the attacks:

“The attacks were an unfortunate necessity because no one seems to listen to anything short of violence. The fact that it took so little to convince people that Pyro was capable of lashing out at the UEE without provocation only highlights how likely the possibility is. It’s about time the UEE woke up and addressed what the real danger is.”

Fatima Shearer, a native of Pyro III who now works as an engineer in Orison, expressed her frustration regarding the situation.

“I’ve always said the Frontier Fighters were just a bunch of thugs with a flag. People said I was crazy. This could have been avoided.”

In the wake of Frontier Fighters’ recent raids in Pyro, organizations like Citizens for Prosperity (CFP) have been one of the first to step up, providing urgent food and medicine for those affected. When asked for a statement regarding the attacks, Madge Hartford, head of the CFP, said this: “What the Frontier Fighters have done is beyond reason and is utterly indefensible. Attacking innocent people achieves nothing and trying to make their deaths into some kind of statement is frankly disgusting. Whilst our thoughts are with those that have lost their lives, we will continue to focus on helping those affected by these monstrous crimes. That’s what matters.”

Tensions continue to run high among the people of Stanton, as the Slicer assault represents one of many large-scale attacks the system has suffered in recent years. For many, this will be an opportunity to re-open the debate on whether the UEE should be taking more involvement in the corporate-run system. Ruben Pomero, a resident of Lorville, saw his restaurant destroyed during the assaults back in December and had been an outspoken supporter of the Frontier Fighters at the time. We asked him how we felt about the vigilante group now: “I was angry. We were all angry. But I’ve come to realize that Pyro’s not just full of criminals, it’s full of normal people like us just trying to survive.”

With the UEE’s intent to bring an end to the violence that has troubled Stanton, the people are hoping that peace will be restored as soon as possible. But with threats continuing to emerge from within the system, as well as their neighbor Pyro, what the future holds for these systems remains uncertain for now.
