The EINS intro plays, with our host, Amanda Ward appearing on the screen. "Good Morning people of Earth, I'm glad to be back. We have some major news for you tonight."
"It seems the AH forces have come to the rescue of SV and hit the rear of the horde in January. Come march the fighting has largely died down with the last elements either melting away or being mercilessly slaughtered. The civilian part of the horde fled early in the conflict and have not been seen much of since. The Ah force lost soldiers but far less then SV and AD in the first year of the fighting. Shortly after the area was pronounced secure, AH forces returned home."
"There are rumors of a trade deal with the Non TN League and a TN country on the table, no one really knows who it is, but there is much speculation on the nation. That and what is actually being traded."
"The NSC attacked and defeated several enclaves in the Philippines and have annexed the nation with apparent ease, perhaps at this point the Non TN league will step in? Protect other Non TN nations or lands?"
"There are rumors floating around that asteroid 240 ruins have been fully exploited. Not much else can really be said about that."
" The ever present mineral issue is cropping up again, earth is quickly running out of minerals to support the growing TN powers and their economies. Off world bases are not so much a nice thing to have but a requirement. Estimates are that within the next few years earth will be low or out of almost every TN mineral. External bases seem to be slowly setup by powers and perhaps disagreements over choice lands will crop up? Gallcite seem the next resource to be completely mined out in this short growing list."
