Breaking news - Today at 6:05 A.M. Standard Galactic Time Cogwerk Ports came under attack by a group calling itself The Sinners. They hit hard and fast pouring out of every gate in the Port and took the shipping yards by storm using shock and awe tactics. No one as of yet is clear as to where these invaders came from or even who they are representing. Planetary security forces were caught unaware during shift change as thousands of mecha came in through the gate systems. The invaders utilized mainly elemental style mecha capitalizing on flame and ice damage to rip their way through the ports into the main city areas.
Security forces mobilized as best as possible under the conditions at hand and were able to hold the line just out side of Cogwerk City proper. Although before they were able to push back the invaders hundreds had already died and thousands were hospitalized. It is estimated that millions of credits in damage had been done to the port proper, and even billions in niodes had already been taken.
Calls have been put out to all clans in a desperate plea for help, as well as to the Shogunate and the Hegemony at the time of this report. Those already on planet have joined with the security forces in holding the attackers at bay. The Port itself is now considered occupied and a Militarized Zone. All civilians are asked to report to their nearest meteor shelter areas and follow all instructions from planetary emergency services.
