4s the details of the disaster following
8s the blast from the star of Turner on
10s November 2nd are still emerging in its
13s aftermath
14s closest to the star was the Imperial
16s prototype Stellar transmuter understood
18s to have destabilized the star through
20s its experimental operations
23s a skeleton crew of Amar volunteers
25s stayed aboard the transmuter and
27s attempts to avert catastrophe continued
29s until the very last moments as it became
32s clear that all hope was lost and the
34s terminal phase was imminent martial
36s zirkosh addressed the transmuter crew
39s thanking them for their devotion and
41s service to the Empire before commending
43s their souls to God
45s at 1700 hours the star of Turner entered
49s its so-called terminal phase of
51s instability and the transmuters ceased
54s to exist the destruction of several
56s capsular structures close to the star
58s swiftly followed orbiting high above the
61s barren planet of Turner 1 is the
63s Republic Parliament station which has
65s played a crucial role in the combined
67s efforts of Empire and capsulear
69s corporations to successfully Evacuate
71s the population of Turner One
73s at the time of the terminal event only a
76s handful of crew remained aboard the
78s station maintaining docking and traffic
80s operations to ensure that the maximum
82s number of refugees could Escape ahead of
85s the blast the station's spare Shield
87s generators and power had been diverted
89s to reinforce the structure unfortunately
92s the hastily rigged enhancements did not
94s deflect all radiation and supercharged
97s particles with many systems wrecked in
100s secondary explosions and fires breaking
102s out regardless the shielding did save
105s most of those who sheltered in the core
107s of the station which remained
108s structurally sound despite the severe
111s damage to peripheral superstructures
113s the worst Effects by far were felt on
116s the surface of Turner one as the planet
119s closest to the star it was clear that
121s this Barren world would be hit by any
124s extreme energy burst making its
126s evacuation a top priority industry
128s workers in many settlers were lifted off
130s to safety with only those refusing help
132s remaining on the Planet principle among
136s those remaining behind were the nomadic
138s minmitar Clans Faithfully following the
140s teachings of tanak dufron the absolver
143s in a final bizarre broadcast from the
146s surface of Turner 1 the absolver
148s encouraged his followers to embrace the
151s spiritual forces about to transform the
153s system
154s Turner one has been scorched beyond
157s recognition by the effects of the
159s intense radiation burst and bombardment
161s by a wave of supercharged plasma from
164s the Star so far there are no known
166s survivors from the surface of the planet
169s despite many warnings as to the risks a
172s large number of capsuleers placed their
174s ships and Crews at serious risk to
176s witness what promised to be an
178s extraordinary event
180s unsurprisingly these ships took heavy
182s damage from the radiation burst with
184s shields and armor systems collapsing in
187s seconds leaving damaged hulls totally
189s exposed a number of ships were destroyed
191s when rival capsuleers exploited these
194s moments of extreme vulnerability to
196s wreak destruction on one another
198s the chaotic struggle in space added to
201s the death toll of this already tragic
203s day
204s it is now becoming apparent that the
207s Turner system has been permanently
208s affected by the extreme Stellar event
210s the widespread destruction is almost
213s superficial on an astronomical scale
215s with a local space-time environment
217s being profoundly altered leading to very
220s high unstable Wormhole activity
223s for its part the Amar Empire has
226s declared its Stellar transmuter research
228s program a success despite the
230s extraordinary demise of its Turner
232s operations ominously the Empire appears
236s confident it has gathered all the data
238s required to take their exploitation of
240s the technology forward to the next stage
243s of development in the aftermath of the
245s Turner tragedy attention is turned to
248s the Stellar transmuters in egmar and
250s vard currently under the control of
252s minmotar forces the Urgent question
254s remains whether the Republic is willing
256s to continue experimental operations or
259s attempt to shut them down
261s this is Alton havery reporting for the
264s scope
