An Insurgent class frigate of the Amondiage Navy arrived in system this week. It does nothing but observe the strife on the planets surface.
New Home fleet bombards Colchis cities.
Extensive bombardment of the city of New London has apparently silenced the Free Colchis government, as conventional missiles fired by the 1st Escort Group of the Royal Navy from close orbit destroyed all important government buildings in that city. A number of resistance-operated television stations that had sprung up over the past few days have been silenced by similar orbital bombardment. The Coldstream Guards have been sent into these areas to mop up any remaining opposition. By all accounts their latest high tech warbot troops have performed perfectly. Casualties have been reported to be very light amongst the New Home troops.
Demonstrations in favour of the New Home government have been staged in the capital city. Several diplomats from French speaking nations have been killed by roaming mobs. The authorities have suspects in detention following investigation into these incidents. Royal Marine guards have been set up around the Joyeuse Embassy.
