INN: Deserata prepares for 4008 Olympics
FESTIVAL CITY, DESERATA - The host planet of the 4008 interstellar summer Olympic games is putting the finishing touches on competition venues scattered along the equator.
"We're excited to be hosting the games and look forward to athletes from all over the galaxy gathering in the spirit of true competition and sportsmanship," said Hollis Beauregard, chairman of the 4008 Olympic Committee.
Dozens of sporting events are planned, with hundreds of athletes from all over the galaxy slated to participate.
It remains to be seen whether the Nall will send athletes this time, after boycotting the 4004 games.

INN: Rare Yaralu sighting near Sivad
ENAJ ARCOLOGY, SIVAD - The elusive Yaralu, sentient starships rumored to roam the stars of the Orion Arm, may have been sighted once again.
Harv Lomax, a freighter pilot based in Enaj, told INN that he was making a jump in-system when he spied one of the sleek, dark-hulled organic vessels drifting near the planet's asteroid belt.
"It never quite came close enough for me to scan it, but it didn't look like any other ships I'd ever seen before," Lomax said. "A lot of ships, they got the hull plates and the rivets and the shiny lights. The works! But not this baby. Not a seam on her that you could see. No lights. She just ran a scan beam over my ship and I guess she figured I wasn't a threat, because she just moved on from there."

INN: Nall diplomat plans visit
NELSESUIN, NALHOM - A priestess of the Vox Nalia Church, Viz of Hatch Kavir, has finalized plans to visit the Orion Arm Union at the end of June.
In a press release issued by the Nall government, Vizkavir included an itinerary that ranges from a state dinner with top OAU diplomats to a public address before the Union's governing council.
This will mark the first visit of a Nall church luminary since the end of the Everwar.

INN: Union Fleet captain remains in mysterious coma
LAZARUS, EARTH - Captain Lorenzo Clement, felled three months ago by a strange illness while attending an interstellar diplomatic conference, remains in a coma.
Doctors at the LazarusCorp medical center on Earth seem no closer to explaining what happened to the captain of the UFCV Versailles or how they might bring him out of the coma.
Another unsolved mystery: How the captain's file was altered to show a do-not-resurrect order that hadn't been included in his file before he left the Versailles to attend the conference. Some speculate that his coma might be linked to a corrupt, harmful area of the Infomatrix known as a "black sector."
