Human Colony of Ferris Fields Disappears Without Explanation
By: Emily Wong – (21:47 EST / 01-24-2185)
The human colony Ferris Fields has disappeared completely without a trace – where the entirety of its population, numbering to about eighteen thousand people, are missing. The colony, which was widely known throughout the galaxy for its defense against a massive slaver attack a few years back, was first discovered abandoned after a routine shipment of military equipment from a Hahne-Kedar freighter landed in there two days ago, finding the entire colonial settlement empty.
Human colonists throughout the galaxy have caused an immense uproar on the news networks, demanding swift retribution to the perpetrators of this atrocious crime. Some of the colonies' regional human governors have even suggested calling upon a Systems Alliance battlegroup to help protect human lives, a move which was viciously condemned by the other alien settlers as they saw this as a pre-emptive tactic in further securing human dominance in the Terminus Systems.
As of right now, no one has claimed responsibly for this unprovoked aggression, where analysts from the Citadel blamed the attacks on slavers or pirates, investigators from the Alliance thought differently. "It's too meticulous for a bunch of half-assed slavers," says inspector Sergei Romanoff. "They never try too hard in covering their tracks, as for whoever's responsible; all I can say is that they did a really damn good job in taking everyone, and making my work a living hell in finding out what really happened."
Meanwhile, the Alliance representative in the Citadel Council, former Captain David Anderson, could not be reached for a comment.
