E.R.I.S. has indicated that bugs have been detected by the Federation. According to reports, mining operations have been disrupted, and a convoy attacked. This is just the most recent in a string of attacks that have left eight colonists dead and many more in fear. Governor Goldman of the Bernard's Star colonies has appealed for calm, stating; "...this is just an isolated incident."

There has been no indication at the size of the insectoid hive, but there may be a source. Marshall Ricks of the Bernard Colonial Militia has stated that juice runners may have brought bugs from Helix Nova. Arrest records do indeed indicate that traffickers frequent Koatev. 

One can't helped but be alarmed at this new development. Trafficking bugs poses a huge risk to humanity.  

More on the story as it develops.  [/h3]
