Alukk Daily News
The Constitutional Convention on Alukk has concluded, and with it concludes the power of the Hypercorps. And taking that a step further, so concludes an era of the Orion people. For hundreds of years the pride of the Orion people, the corporations occupied a prized position within our society, but their constitutional guarantees have been destroyed. With outside intervention to artificially prop up the economy, the government has been allowed to gut the underpinnings of our financial system.
This is a dark day for all who believe in the freedom of the market.

Presidential Proclamation
When the revolution overthrew the old order, we saw the end of the overt slavery of one Orion by another. And on that day, all of us rejoiced. Then let us now rejoice again, as we purge from our midst the tentacle-like grasp of the corporations that would see us held in bondage in our own homes, to turn our own finances against us as a weapon. An end to the indentured slavery that benefits none but a privileged few.
My friends, my countrymen, there are many who will tell you that I have sold our heritage to the abyss. But I stand here to tell you that this is not the case. Indeed, it is your chains that I have sold. The mortgage held on all our souls has been discharged. No more will the commercial elite among us conspire with the Syndicate to hold us all in penury for the enrichment of the ancient social orders. I tell you now, an era of freedom is before us!

Anti-Slavery Task Force Progress Report
I do not think this is the end. I do think this is the beginning of the end.
The underpinning of Syndicate power has always lain in their legitimacy as part of the Hypercorp system. With the breaking of that system, I believe we will see the end of the Syndicate's ambitions to be equal unto the Union, perhaps for good.
The Constitutional Convention was protected by the Reconnoitre Block, with protection on the fringes by the ISSU. They were careful to keep the Aeroknights out of the way, cleaning up the mess on Duaba. There were a few minor incidents, but thankfully no major Syndicate operation has occurred to steal the headlines.
