Imani Syndicate Bombs New Terran Mandate Base!
The southern cluster was shaken to it's core when an Terran Mandate expansion on Sobha was attacked from several fronts by the Imani Syndicate.

They will feel the pain that they have inflicted a thousand times over before we even begin to consider peace with them."
