Triad Republics intervene via 3rd Point: Demands release of Xsampan Assets

August 5617

3rd Point General Secretary Theobald Schluckspecht

In a surprising turn of events, what formerly was considered Beiteynu is continuing to generate controversy as recently a Xsampan commercial vessel was seized and its captain arrested. The responsible Nisrad claims that the Xsampan official was acting with hostile intent and was engaging in piracy. This event prompted the Triad Republics to intervene via it's own General Secretary of the 3rd Point federation, the highest office in the Trade Federation. According to Triad statements, there is no proof from Hofesh that the vessel had anything to do with pirate activity. "We are baffled by the abuse of Federation Institutions, heads WILL roll." said the General Secretary Schluckspecht when asked. Upon inquiry we found out that there actually were protocols activated to remove certain individuals connected to this case from their official positions. The Directorate for Foreign Affairs declined to answer our questions regarding their involvement or if there are talks going on with the rogue Nisrad but they did say that the Triad would put its own Trade Protection Fleet at the vicinty of the incident to ensure the free-flow of commercial maritime vessels and to engage in anti-piracy activity. Finally to finish with this debacle, the Presidential Chancellory has also comitted to launch an official investigation into the elements of Naval Command and the Amudim responsible for this erratic act.
