Share prices in Samura have skyrocketed since the pact between our house and the Hogosha was announced yesterday which will allow Samura Industries to become larger than they could ever have been. With the co-operation between the our most excellent Shogun, the shrewd CEO Code and the benevolent Fang Dragon, will this be the birth of the strongest part of the Sirius sector? <b>Chugoku handed over by DSE </b> With the completion of the jumpgate to Chugoku, long known for its Blood Dragon presence, the shogun proceeded to move the battleship Nagoya into the system so that the Kusari naval foces had a small presence there. Plans will be put in motion as to what to do with Chugoku in the coming days.

  • Bloom.....err...Bond! James Bond

    Your right, i disagree, Roger Moore then Pierce Brosnan. As for this little revelation, this is a crime against James Bond. Orlando Bloom still enjoys bitty! He looks like a sissy girl he can´t play bond! I will make a point of not watching this bond movie.
