'News when you need it most.'

In a news conference this morning, Alfred Arzhavel, son of the founder for the titanic merchant family stated his pilots having seen a battle in space not hours before. "Large Imperial ships were engaged by the Prince's Custom's Fleet and the 1st ADF. They didn't stick around long enough to get shot at, but stated the fighters of the First seemed to be winning."

In this first opportunity to face an Imperial fleet in space, the Prince proved again his ability to lead in the field.

"Our losses were minimal compared to all the fighters and four capital class ships that were destroyed," Lord Mountbatten, Secretary of ADF Affairs stated. "Our brave boys gave them their first taste of Glovanian resolve." When asked if the Prince will push to the Governor's office on Bosa. "I can't speculate on that right now, but be assured, Governor Omry has a lot fewer friends in this system as of this morning."

King Debrann also praised not only his son for the victory, but also the 1st ADF. "Count Regan has done an exemplary job in preparing these brave pilots and fighters of our new Space Command and he is to be commended for his tireless efforts to that end." The Count was unavailable for comment.
