CHOAM Crises Deepens
Yorban Times

The Empire wide economic crises in CHOAM took on ever more ominous tones this week as auditors discovered underhanded dealings by one of our own directors. In an announcement to House Alman, later made public before the Landsraad, it was made known that CHOAM auditors had discovered that records had been falsified to try and frame the Almans for spice hoarding. They further revealed that the source of these falsified records was none other then House Poritrin.

Landsraad General Plenary: “Glorified Talking Shop”
The Ixian Economist
With the closing of the General Plenary this week, many observers walked away disgruntled with the lack of action to arise out of one of the biggest diplomatic exchanges of the year. After a week of heated debate on a broad range of issues, it appears no motions have been submitted nor any clear course of action set for the future. Whilst one of the key themes was the failure of CHOAM to regulate the markets and how to solve the munitions shortages, even after heated debate, no consensus on action was reached, with serious divisions in the assembled Houses on how to precede.
CHOAM Revision Forced Into Hold
Kaitain Times
The recent announcement of the dismissal of several CHOAM Directors by the Padishah Emperor before the Landsraad had boosted opinion polls across the diplomatic body, and many believed that appointing some of the strongest supporters of economic growth such as Houses Eleusis, Ordos, Wikkheiser and Leontis, would usher in a new era of CHOAM stability and growth.

New CHOAM Directors
In a formal declaration before the Landsraad Congress during the General Plenary, Emperor Shaddam Corrino IV has dismissed just under half of CHOAM’s Board of Directors.

Landsraad General Plenary - 10.191
Yorban Times

It is once again time for the bi-annual Landsraad Plenary to review recent events and to set public policy for ongoing initiatives. House Eleusis, as speaker of the Landsraad, has called the event to order and set the iteniary for an ambitious, and hopefully productive, session. Unfortunately though, the rest of the Landsraad does not yet appear to be up to the challenge issued.

Already there has been serious confusion as some scheduled speakers have failed to appear. What the final outcome this will have on the proposed slate of work has yet to be seen.

Planet Ecaz to be returned to the Ecazi family
Yorban Times

In a stunning move His Royal Majesty has ordered House Poritrin to abandon the valuable world of Ecaz, once held by His until recently disgraced cousines, and ordered it to be returned to the cadet family of the Corrino line. Readers might recall that not so long ago this same world was exchanged from the Ordos to the Poritrin in a deal whose political ramifications are still being felt. The Ordos at least received some small compensation for their loss. As it looks at the moment, the Poritrin will not.

Within a period of less then a month though they have left those ranks behind and find themselves on the cusp of greatness.

This is most unusual and is, untill this instance, an unprecedented breakdown in leadership at the highest level. All other regions have managed to hold their elections and have finalized the results while the powers of Negara stand in limbo.

New Appointees for the Court
Yorban Times

With a new year nearly upon us, it is time once again for the reappointment of seats to the Empires highest court. While there has been quite a bit of movement in the seats, there are at this time very few surprises. Among these though, the greatest shock would have to be the return of House Harkonnen. Not only have they returned to the court but they are now appointed as Chair Pro Tempore. In a short time they have gone from near total ruin to now chairing the high court.
