::Market Information::
Ship Sales (by number)
Faulcon DeLacey’s bestselling Cobra Mk III further increases its market share by 7.5% with a 42% total.

The Core Dynamics Eagle has also improved its share this week in second position this week with a 4% rise to 27% market share.

The rise of the Cobra and Eagle has been at the expense of Zorgon Peterson’s Hauler. ZP retained 3rd spot with a continued weakening market share, which dropped a further 20% this week to 17.5%. A concerned-looking spokesperson says ZP is unconcerned and believes the Hauler is ‘the perfect vessel for trading, which is such a fundamental activity within the galactic economy’.

Eranin Tension Continues
Skirmishes between the Eranin Defence Force and the Federation show no sign of abating.

Piracy
Abnormally high levels of piracy continue to be reported in LP98-132.

::And Finally::
Last weekend’s emergency meeting on Asellus Primus resulted in a product recall and a ban on the trading of Progenitor Cells. Progenitor Cells immediately became a mainstay of the black market economy.

Aulin has recalled a recent batch of Progenitor Cells while it investigates the reported contamination. Governments will convene again this weekend to review the findings of the investigations with a view to lifting the ban and re-starting production.

Leaked documents from the investigation suggest that the batch may have been intentionally contaminated and links are being made to left wing militants from Eranin. This would perhaps explain the splits in Eranin’s government and its rumoured intention to boycott the meeting at the weekend.

It remains to be seen if the investigation’s conclusion will allay the public’s fears over the possible side effects of this product.
