The XXXian Board of Extraterrestrial Commerce has appealed to it's farmers to begin harvesting early to prevent wastage.

After a controversial reversal of fortunes, fashion industry supremos House of Xlavczaw have closed their doors after their premier lines for the new season were copied and replica garments flooded the markets. This combined blow of the closure of the Galaxy’s most renowned clothiers and the deluge of counterfeit garments has caused a near fatal crash in the textiles industry of XXX, with prices hitting rock bottom and they are not expected to recover soon.

The growing demands of the people of XXX on their power grids have caused the industries that supply electricity to begin construction of an unprecedented 40 new hi-yield nuclear power stations. This has had the knock-on effect of raising the price of Radioactives in XXX to an all-time high. Conservationist and anti-nuclear pressure groups are reported to be appauled at this mass construction, but their calls for a referendum have been drowned out by the calls for more power.

A prospecting team from the planet XXX have discovered a vast cluster of asteroids which have high concentrations of Uranium and Plutonium. This discovery comes only weeks after the press release by RadCorp, unveiling their new ore processors which have an incredible 97% extraction efficiency.

Amnesty Intergalactic are calling upon the GalCop Security Council to act after reports of mass genocides on the planet XXX. This planet has had a long history of legalised ‘Indentured Labour’, but recent unreset between the Indentured workers and their owners resulted in civil unrest and even skirmishes between renegade workers and the planet’s security troops. Amnesty approached the council with a report that indicates a large number of indentured workers were captured and executed. Although the XXXian government have not responded to these charges, the trade price in Slaves has increased markedly. More on this story as events unfold.

The government of the planet XXX today reported success at the creation of a new species of creature. These new lifeforms are humanoid in form, but their DNA was adapted from fungal lifeforms originally discovered on the huls of space-going vessels. Geneticists across the Galactic Quadrant are expressing excitement at this development, although XXX is now suffering from an overpopulation of these new lifeforms. The XXXian government has taken the step of selling many of these creatures as slaves, driving the price of Slaves down.
