I'm Zek, and this is a TSZ News Alert.

Hostilities have flared between the Song Dominion, currently lead by Lord Commander Vega T'rvati, and the Celestine Ascendency, currently led by Guardian Executive Grek. A few days ago, a group of Song Soldiers, led by the Lord Commander herself, stormed the Celestine Crossings to slay all the guards within. The Cerebral Augment Chamber on Litharge was hacked as well.

"I naturally decided to send (the Guardians) a message they would potentially understand," said the Lord Commander on the matter. Apparently when an unnammed member of the T'rvati Dynasty attempted to rectify an enemy status to Celestine, they were told such a status would only be removed if Impera Van T'rath, Celestial Commander of the Ascendency, were unenemied to Song in kind. After an apparent breakdown in communication between the two parties, hostilites have broken out, with the Ascendency taking the brunt of the pain.

Graffiti, now covering the main transport platform in the Crossings, offers less-than-inspiring messages, and although the Immortals of Celestine have since been cloned through their INRs, no formal statement has been made by the Guardian General or the Guardian Executive on the matter. TSZ reached out to the Guardian General for comment, who said he was "busy with other matters." The Guardian Executive could not be reached for comment.

On the subject of whether or not this is a formal declaration of war from the Dominion, the Lord Commander said simply, "I think that would depend on whether the Ascendency dicovers the meaning of 'diplomacy.'

If the Ascendency does not apparently cave to the Lord Commander's diplomatic demands? She offered a simple two-word plan for that as well.

"No mercy."
