Conspiracy Unmasked 11/05/3132
INN - Interstellar News Network
Ever since the HPG station here went down, the only question that anyone has been
asking has been “how?” But that isn’t the question we should be asking; instead we
should be asking “who?” Who did this, and why did they do it?
I’ve heard the party line coming out of ComStar – we can’t explain the loss of signal,
our equipment is working just fine, we’ll have this fixed in a matter of days. Bollocks!
They know exactly who did it and why. Because they did it themselves!
EO224-15B of 3082 mandated that interstellar communications within the Republic of
the Sphere remain at a constant price, a measure that Devlin Stone enacted to ensure
that the Citizens of the Republic could remain in contact with their friends and
relatives as they migrated throughout the stars.
Fast forward to 50 years later. ComStar hasn’t been able to raise their prices in half a
century, and they’re feeling it in their bottom line. At the same time, even before the
HPG network went down, Exarch Damien Redburn is slowly losing grips on the
reigns of the Republic. His Citizens are learning to rebel and he can’t even keep a leash
on people like Kal Radick, who talks about the return of the Star League as though
The Republic will fall any day. Radick is a Prefect for heaven’s sake! So, he needs
some way to unite the people of the Sphere, a way to be the hero, just like Devlin
Stone was. Enter ComStar.
Think about it. Why else haven’t we heard from Redburn? There’s been more than
enough time to send JumpShips from Terra to give us an update. Besides, how else
can you explain the downing of the ENTIRE HPG network? Only ComStar has the
knowledge or ability to do that.
Just watch. Once Redburn’s had the time to eliminate his competition, ComStar will
miraculously fix the HPGs, but “owing to the huge repair expense” will double and
triple their rates overnight.
Just watch and see.
