'''New United''' is one of the [[StarCitizen:United Empire of Earth]]'s oldest news organizations, having been founded in [[StarCitizen:2100]] it had a reputation for being mostly objective with a slight conservative bias.

== History ==
It was originally named United Times which was later changed to United Times/Tribune in [[StarCitizen:2438]] during a merger with [[StarCitizen:Sentinel Tribune]]<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/spectrum-dispatch/12964-Writers-Guide-Part-Three|text=Writer's Guide - Part Three|accessdate=2023-11-10}}</ref> and was then shortened in [[StarCitizen:2638]] to Times/Tribune. During the [[StarCitizen:Messer Era]] they operated as a propaganda outfit and in an effort to distance themselves for the oppressive regime after it fell in [[StarCitizen:2792]] they changed their name to New United. Which has lead to them regaining their reputation as an objective news source.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RAdjeJe5Y7-new-united|text=Galactapedia: New United|accessdate=2023-11-08}}</ref>

=== April 2955 ===

==== BiotiCorp Confirms Mass Regen Failure ====
Imprints no longer viable for majority of population - In a press conference today, representatives from [[StarCitizen:BiotiCorp]] announced that [[StarCitizen:Regeneration]] is failing at an alarming rate. "In spite of BiotiCorp's historic track record of successful Regeneration in 99% of cases, we can confirm that due to unknown factors, the process has recently begun to fail the majority of the time. While we investigate the issue, customers are advised to be extra cautious, but please be assured that we have our best minds working on resolving the problem." The people of [[StarCitizen:Terra]] suspected that something was amiss after an explosion rocked downtown [[StarCitizen:New Austin]] last month and a shocking number of imprinted people failed to regenerate. Mirabelle Niven, a retired schoolteacher, lost her twin sons Auros and Delemont Niven in the blast. "We spent so much time getting Imprints. The rep promised us it would work, so we were sure it was worth it. And now my boys are dead."

==== Hospitals Struggle to Cope with Influx of Queries ====
Concerned citizens are spending hours in lines demanding answers - Hospital staff are dealing with a record number of queries from civilians concerned that their imprints are no longer viable and are requesting refunds or threatening legal action in response to the recent news of the failing tech. Staff urge people to avoid queueing outside trauma centers due to the impact it has on other essential services.

==== UEE Resource Drive Spurs Regen Research ====
'''Corporations eager to aid Imperator Addison's [[StarCitizen:Second Life Resource Drive|Second Life Initiative]].'''

As research spending skyrockets across the empire in the wake of the government's Second Life initiative, materials have become increasingly difficult for labs and scientists to access. With the shortage potentially harming the race to solve the Regen Crisis, the UEE has announced a sponsored 'resource drive' to encourage donations of the much sought-after supplies. As part of the effort, the government will be offering several rewards to systems who achieve donation quotas such as tax-breaks and sponsorship opportunities at gateway stations.

Organizations from Terra to Castra have signed on to participate, but many expect that the largest donations will come from the four major corporations in the Stanton system who have pledged to support the effort, offering their own internal incentives to contractors who help them secure the top-spot in the drive. Those interested in tracking the results will be able to use their mobiGlas to access real-time standings of the amounts of refined Copper, Tungsten, and Corundum that have been delivered by participants. Government representatives hope the boost in materials will accelerate an end to the [[StarCitizen:Regen Crisis]].

==== ASD Denies Wrongdoing in Pyro ====
'''Revelations of animal cruelty have many demanding answers from the research company.'''

As recordings of living [[StarCitizen:valakkar]] eggs being tortured on [[StarCitizen:Pyro I]] at [[StarCitizen:Associated Sciences & Development|Associated Science & Development]]'s (ASD) Lazarus Complex surfaced last month, many across the Empire are calling for a deeper investigation into the company's practices. Leading the charge is animal rights group PAW ([[StarCitizen:Preserve all wildlife|Preserve All Wildlife]]) who have been actively protesting multiple ASD sites for what they've called "unconscionable cruelty."

Not the first controversy ASD has dealt with, the company had previously gained notoriety from the brutality of their [[StarCitizen:EE6 electron cannon]]. An ASD spokesperson claims that the Chief Scientist heading the research, Dr. [[StarCitizen:Logan Jorrit]], was exploring a potential solution for the regen crisis but was also quick to explain that since the lab was located in the unregulated Pyro system, they are technically operating outside of UEE law. An official release from ASD's board announced that Dr. Jorrit had been placed on temporary administrative leave while the company performs an internal investigation on the lab's activities.

==== Record Number of Mercenary Contracts Completed ====
'''Last month saw [[StarCitizen:Mercenary Guild]] members complete an all-time high number of security jobs.'''

In a press release, the Mercenary Guild has stated, "Thanks to the highly skilled professionals of the Mercenary Guild working tirelessly to secure and defend our clients, we have set a new record for contracts completed in June." However, not everyone sees the high number as something to be celebrated. [[StarCitizen:Centralist Party|Centralist party]] spokesperson [[StarCitizen:Acka Newton]] has pointed out that the high completion rate aligns with growing crime numbers across the Empire, "This record was only possible because the current administration has completely failed at keeping the people of the UEE safe."

==== Empire Desperate for First Responders ====
'''More ambulance pilots are urgently needed across all systems.'''

As the [[StarCitizen:Regen crisis|Regen Crisis]] continues, the importance of first responders to provide emergency medical care is more important than ever before. Unfortunately, with the number of qualified ambulance pilots at an all-time low and preventable deaths on the rise, victims will often wait for help that will arrive too late.

[[StarCitizen:Rapid Response]], one of the leading EMS contractors, has said that the emergence of regeneration technology triggered a decline of trained professionals and that it will take time to regrow the pool of qualified pilots. The UEE has recently announced a new initiative in conjunction with RSI that has [[StarCitizen:Apollo Medivac|Apollo]] ships visiting schools as a way to entice young pilots to enter the field and become paramedics.

==== Re-Terraformation of Settled Worlds ====
'''A new company is seeking government approval to address past [[StarCitizen:terraforming]] mistakes, but are the risks too high?'''

Citing the numerous technological advances made in the past few decades, a new start-up claims they could adjust the harsh climates on several previously terraformed worlds. While some are heralding the potential opportunity to address past mistakes, critics say that the risk of having another [[StarCitizen:Mars Tragedy]] is too high.

==== Terra General Regen Protests Resume ====
'''The 'One Life' organization continues to picket the hospital, demanding they stop all regeneration.'''

Following the arrests of the group's leaders after their refusal to leave hospital grounds, the [[StarCitizen:One Life]] protests at [[StarCitizen:Prime]]'s [[StarCitizen:Terra General]] hospital have resumed. The group seeks to ban all regeneration, stating that the [[StarCitizen:Vanduul]]-based technology is unnatural and that the ongoing crisis has shown how dangerous it is to continue the practice. Hospital administrators have commented that imprints are still being offered for any patients who are viable.

==== Faulty Filters to Blame for Mysterious Ailment ====
'''Deadly “Molina Mold” contaminates Levski Station in Nyx system'''

Following weeks of reports of a new unknown illness afflicting the residents of [[StarCitizen:Levski]], the source has been confirmed as a new species of mold whose airborne spores cause potentially fatal fungal infections in Humans. The source of the mold growth was traced back to recently installed ventilation filters from manufacturer [[StarCitizen:Gyson Inc.]] that were revealed to be faulty. Named “[[StarCitizen:Molina Mold]]” after the first person to be killed by the ailment, it has since filled clinics and hospitals in the Nyx system with people experiencing symptoms. While the People's Alliance is working with the UEE-based “[[StarCitizen:Alliance Aid]]” relief group to replace the filters and distribute treatment, residents and visitors alike are being strongly advised to avoid areas in Levski experiencing mold growth.

==== Aciedo Finishes FTL Network Upgrades ====
'''The company is promising full Empire-wide coverage by the new service.'''

Working quickly after last month's reveal of the breakthrough technology, [[StarCitizen:Aciedo Communications|Aciedo]] engineers have coordinated with key researchers from the project to outfit their entire comm network with the new faster-than-light upgrades. An Aciedo spokesperson said that they have begun to seamlessly roll out access to the service, with hundreds of thousands of users utilizing the new inter-system comms already.

Featuring preserved and restored vehicles from throughout the company's storied history, curator [[StarCitizen:Max Durino]] says their goal was to not only show how [[StarCitizen:Roberts Space Industries]] has altered Humanity's course through the stars, but where they might take us in the years to come.

==== [[StarCitizen:Coramor]] Vid Remake Announced ====
Nearly 500 years after the classic vid story premiered, a new remake is hoping to capture the spirit of the original doomed romance that captured the Empire's heart.

==== Former Senator LeSalle Faces Corruption Charges ====
New details emerge as the once Imperator-hopeful [[StarCitizen:Paul LeSalle]] seems to be a key participant in the ongoing pay-to-play scandal that has rocked the Goss system.
