Exclusive interview aboard UKN Kermani!
Exclusive interview aboard UKN Kermani!
In the heart of the Kermani-Klashnik region, we find ourselves located in one of the world's deadliest carrier strike groups, The Kermani Carrier Strike Task Force. The UKN-Kermani, a Laythe Class Carrier, being the largest in the world, is currently undergoing peaceful oversight of the recent Syracusan build up of naval and air forces along the Laklar Ridge. Since this is all ongoing, we decided to ask for an interview regarding said situation.
With presidential approval from Merfurt Kerman, we entered a NAH-1 Raven transport helicopter to be transported. We were required to put blind folds on, have our hands zip-tied, all our electronics except a camera stripped from us, and the windows bolded shut and blacked out. To say the ride was a tad uncomfortable would be an understatement, but within an hour and a half we arrived at the Carrier. Not knowing where we could possibly be on Kerbin, we were released from the protective measures and the view was absolutely sunning and terrifying - a deep blue ocean that extended beyond the horizon, Frigates, Destroyers, Crusiers and even submarines all surrounded us for what seemed like a couple miles. A cruiser launched a cruise missile out of its hatch as it underwent testing, and the carrier had many NAAF-23 VTOL stealth aircraft.
We asked the central command onboard the Kermani Carrier what their plans are incase of Syracusan aggression, and they stated, "We have plenty of options to respond, some of which are engagement. At the moment, we're keeping our distance but monitoring the situation closely such as with Sonar, Radar, Satellite Data Link, but I think we will be fine. The situation seeems to only be regarding the North Island of Laklar, which is a known Syracuse Colony. In case of any issues, we have hotlines directly to the Syracusan government to prevent disaster, but we're watching. I do find it funny that they need all this naval presence for a couple of oil tankers, but I guess it makes up most of their economy." This may just a Syracusan show of force, so there may not be much to worry about after all. If something is to happen, however, we can be sure of our military men to solve the issue.

Kerbelia begins to phase out their fleet of NAAF-17 Stealth Aircraft..? But why?
Kerbelia begins to phase out their fleet of NAAF-17 Stealth Aircraft..? But why?
The top secret NAAF-17 line of Arrow Fighters is starting to be phased out by Kerbelia even though they just purchased 500 more last year. The newly upgraded star package on them allows them to enter space and attack from there, so why would they just end production and finalize their upgrades now? Experts say this is due to the fact that each plane costs 600 million, and their systems are built off an older foundation.
If Kerbelia has decided to phase out their main weapon of the air, this surely means they have something better, more efficient and powerful technology-wise in the air. During an interview with Nicholas Kerman, owner of the Arrow Aerospace company, he stated, "The age of Radar Cross Section is over, we've found methods to bypass this entirely. We don't need to be smaller than a pebble to dominate the skies - rather, technology that leads us in the battlefield and air theaters is of our new top priority."
For a company that has pushed Kerbelia to its prime, we're not exactly blown away by these remarks. In fact, leaks of recent Syracusan stealth advancements have caused a scare within the Western World, leading many to believe that Syracuse could enter the nation without notice and cause trouble, such as with their new Stealth Drone prototype. Whatever the case may be, it seems odd that even older fighters, such as the NAAF-7 and NAAF-9 are still in service, but perhaps their time is limited as well.

"Mr. Sambro, Tear Down This Wall!"
"Mr. Sambro, Tear Down This Wall!"
Following the recent political activity regarding the Konov Strait and its wall, both President Sambro and President Merfurt Kerman were asked to speak publicly on the matter. Neither have met officialy since the rampening up of the prelude to the Two Day War.
Sambro is yet to respond, claiming to be, "Incredibly busy in the matters of... nevermind." He asked there be no further questions, and returned to the capitol building.
Merfurt on the other hand, took the oppurtunity and spoke publicly. His speech was strong, coordinated, and powerful, spreading his message and letting all know that he wasn't messing around about the wall. It is in this speech where Merfurt would claim the now popular saying in all countries, "Mr. Sambro, tear down this wall!"
Catching up to present time...
Catching up to present time...
Following March 6th of 2032, Kerbin and its counterparts entered into a time of prolonged peace, where nothing too crazy happened. During this time, Kerbelian interests in space started to decline as continuing past Sera seemed to be unfeasible as the technologies needed were far to expensive. Thus, the national budget for funding regarding space missions was reduced by a staggering 50%., with most of the new budget being focused on a continued Kerbelian presence in space. A medium portion is to R&D, while a small bit went to continued space exploration. The Kerbelian National Space Committee would oversee the distribution of this new budget, and NSP would continue its efforts in reusable interstellar space travel. With a lot of money to spend now, the Kerbelian government would focus efforts towards improving its naval and army power. Furthermore, investments into larger airframes would be put into place, with Arrow Aviation snatching that contract deal. This entire process would occur for two full years, and Kerbelia would once again have a formidable military.
Outside of Kerbelia, the nations such as Ikreland, Leeland, and Cramonia would all gain stability alongside economic power as well as regional military strength. Still, the nations of Leeland and Cramonia would not have the military might of the three world powers - Kerbelia, Syracuse, and Ikreland.
In terms of Syracuse, they have been keeping to themselves recently, primarily focusing on economic gains through their sponsored colony on Moho. Eventually, the Syracusan ethnicity on Moho would basically turn the planet into a Syracusan Domain. However, as according to the treaty of space, it would not fall under Syracusan control. On the military side, Syracuse would continue at their pace of technology, never quite reaching the capabilities of Kerbelia, but still remaining a formidable force that nobody would ever want to mess with. Because of this, the two Major World Powers would remain neutral with each other, even opening trade up and tearing down the Konov Wall. However, the Island Nation of Laklar has seemed to be getting more and more unstable as time passes on due to increased Syracusan influence.

Kerbelia Finally Declassifies Top Secret Space Transportation Methods
Kerbelia Finally Declassifies Top Secret Space Transportation Methods
On March 6th of 2032, Kerbelia has declassified top secret information regarding its space transportation methods and communication methods. They did this for many reasons, but the main reason was because they were all outdated, and they felt that holding it from the public wouldn't do any good, since it was very educational. Additionally, many Kerbelians have been feeling like the Space Industry has not been doing much in recent years, but this is completely false as shown by the Declassified Information.
Nicholas Kerman, the Owner of Nicholas Space Productions, met with the National Kerbelian Rocketry Committee and Andrew Kerman of Kerbal Mechanical Labs to discuss the declassification of the material. They decided to release the following items:
The now Outdated ( in Kerbelian Terms ) GravTech
The Kerbal Deep Space Network ( KDSN ) - ( Taken over by a Modern Variant of GravTech )
Kersat Communication Satellites Network ( Due to Kerbnet deprecating it )
The following press comment has been said by all the parties:
"We don't like holding back information that could benefit the public's interest in space, so we decided to release some of our old items that used to be of significant value to us, but they no longer perform in the way that our newer technologies do now. Thank you."

Syracuse makes it to Kcabeloh!
Syracuse makes it to Kcabeloh!
President Sambro Kerman has announced that, after months of collaboration between himself, Gregner, and the leadership of Newline, a major milestone has been reached: the successful deployment of the Interstellar Communication Satellite (ISCS). This cutting-edge satellite has officially entered orbit around Enots, a captured asteroid residing within Anehtna’s sphere of influence.
Newline spearheaded this ambitious project as a demonstration of its unwavering commitment to space exploration and technological advancement. "We have not fallen behind; nor have we been slacking. We are always working to engineer Syracuse a future in space!" stated Newline’s Director in a press release, reaffirming the organization's dedication to pushing the boundaries of space communication and infrastructure.
The ISCS is equipped with a massive, state-of-the-art satellite dish designed to relay signals across interstellar distances. Its primary function is to facilitate rapid and reliable communication between Kcabeloh and Kerbin, significantly enhancing Syracuse’s deep-space communication capabilities. The satellite’s advanced transmission technology ensures that messages can traverse the vast expanse between Kerbin and Enots in just 20 minutes a remarkable achievement that underscores Syracuse's growing presence in space.
This successful deployment represents a pivotal step in Syracuse’s long-term vision for interstellar connectivity, laying the groundwork for future deep-space missions and further solidifying its role as a leader in space exploration.
The Two Day War
The Two Day War
Two days after January 15th, The Western world was able to defeat the threat of Terrorism that reigned over the region of Cramonia. With this, a change to the world has been made within the Cramonian Region:
Leeland regains its lost Bluefort City region
Cramonia is reassembled into United Cramonia
Free Cramonia voted to join United Cramonia after the conflict ended
The Western World recognizes the existance of Nuntral State
United Cramonia joins the Western Pact Alliance, and its reconstruction is lead under the United States of Kerbela.
With the war to an end, the world is finally at peace without the threat of Terrorism again.
All around the world, everyone celebrates as people can finally rest and all the brave soldiers come home from warfare in Cramonia.
If anything, this war highlighted how quickly an issue can be solved when everyone chips in morally against a common enemy of destruction.

Cramonian Terrorists Attack Kerbelia, Kerbelia at War!
Cramonian Terrorists Attack Kerbelia, Kerbelia at War!
On January 15th of 2033, roughly 3 months after the signing of the Cramonian Isolation Order, Cramonian Terrorists lay attack to the world's most populated and most powerful nation: Kerbelia. What many thought impossible has become a reality. The fundamentals of Democracy have been shaken to Kerbelia's very core as more than 10000 Kerbelians lay unresponsive all around the nation.
Nicholas Space Production's NSP Site, Kerbal Mechanical Laboratory's Site 52, Independence Tower at the heart of Kermani, and even explosions in Leeland, Ikreland, and Laklar occur on the same day. The Terrorists call this day "The Day of Retribution."
As of now, the Kerbelian government has not made a statement on how these threats were able to bypass their strong National Security Department that was made after the Red Revolution. However, many think it was because of Native Cramonians living in Kerbelia that these acts were able to be taken out, resulting in the National Security Department not even having the power to do anything. As a result, the National Customs for Immigrants have revoked all Cramonian Visa's to the nation to prevent more destruction.
The world's most prosperous country had been hit hard by terrorist attacks. Cramonians wished to do this to invoke fear that Kerbelia and her allies were not invincible. This did not work. As of now, the resentment for what the Municipal has done has led to Article 5 of the Western Pack being initiated, officially placing Kerbelia at war against another nation for the first time since the Orange War of 2005.
President Merfurt has made an address to the nation, stating,
"To my dear Kerbelians,
Today we have faced a situation like no other. Thousands of Kerbelians have been the victim of a world wide tragedy due to the cruelty of Cramonians. It was supposedly done to tell Kerbelia that we would have to stand down in face of a tragic disaster, but we will not stand down. My fellow Kerbelians, I campaigned my presidency for you to ensure that we would continue our Kerbelian First Policies, and not let anyone boss us around. Today, we've experienced a test by the Cramonians, which has affected ten thousand of our most beloved Kerbelians. For the sake of our future, and for the loved ones that we lost, we will solve the issue of terrorism once and for all, which is why today, January 15th, Kerbelia and her allies have declared war against the Municipal of Cramonia to root out all evil in the area. We will go in with Kerbelians, and leave with all. We will not suffer any longer to outside forces thinking we can get bossed around. I promise to you all, that this will never happen again. May god bless you all, Godspeed."
Kerbelian Officials at the National Department of Defense expect this war to only last two full days.

Merfurt Signs Executive Order Regarding Cramonian Region
Merfurt Signs Executive Order Regarding Cramonian Region
Following Merfurt's visit with Sambro Kerman in Syracuse, he returned home and quickly got to work to address the lack of stability in the Cramonian Region. In a press conference, Merfurt explained that he will sign an executive order by the end of the day that will cut off all ties to the region, and block off all economic aid, forcing them to either stop operations of terrorism or face the heavy consequence of total isolation from the last part of the world that had their back covered.
Merfurt's decision to invoke such a strong message to the terrorism occurring in Cramonia was mainly due to the fact that Kerbelia doesn't deal with terrorists, and it never has. Infact, Kerbelia has worked through humanitarian organizations in the region, and it has never actually come into contact with the new Radical government of the Municipal of Cramonia. Now though, he will pull out the aid of organizations that continue to transitively support the Terrorists in favor of a long term peace talk to end the conflict.
Former President Seedun Kerman wasn't able to get anything done in the region primarily because it occurred during Kerbelia's Presidential Transitionary Period where no major decisions could be made. So, Merfurt has made it very clear that he will come to a swift and decisive close on the region, and deny them the ability to continue their horrible operations of international terrorism. Furthermore, he will follow the route of "Seedun Conservatism" within the region, and during any areas of high tension between the two nations. However, Merfurt has made it clear that if a retaliatory attack is to occur following the signing of this executive order, then he will respond has needed to ensure the saftey of all Kerbelians, and Kermans as a whole.
One of the main acts of terrorism seen was in Leeland about a month ago when a Cramonian loyalist ran into a building and caused some unexpected violence ( to which we cannot say ), and ended up killing 50 people in total. Since then, a no-go zone has been established between the border of Leeland and Cramonia ( Municipal ), and the Kerbelian Armed forces have mobilized within the region too. Also, there have been threats on Kerbelian Industry and Aerospace Launch complexes from Cramonians. They've threatened to do some unseen acts on them if this order goes into play, but Merfurt is standing strong on his idea that he will not let Kerbelia get bossed around by terrorists.
Lastly, Merfurt has agreed to let Syracusan vessels through allied controled waters to supply their campaign into Cramonia. Both Kerbelia and Syracuse have agreed to work against a common enemy in the region if push comes to shove, and the two have agreed to notify each other if a missile does get launched.
The world hasn't seen such chaos since Bob Kerman let Syracuse walk into Leeland, but Merfurt has made it clear that this violence will not go on much longer. Infact, he said it happened because, "The Cramonians tried abusing our election system's "no policy time" to get an advantage in the region. This has only resulted in a worse outcome for the world, but we are to fix it. Thank you."

Decision 2032 and Inauguration Speech
Decision 2032 and Inauguration Speech
On Kovember 6th, 2032, the day after voting, the voice of the Kerbelian People has been heard, the Popular vote determined, and the electoral college established.
During the first portion of the election, Bella began off in the lead by winning two states on the Eastern Coast, giving her a total of 54 electoral votes out of the 270 needed to win the presidency. However, Merfurt shortly won the entire south region, boosting him up to a staggering 126 electorial votes. Then, he won the western coastal states near Syracuse, gaining him another 100 electoral votes. After this, Bella won more Northern States and some districts near the south, pushing her up to 168 electoral votes. However, Merfurt won the agricultural sector making up most of the middle of the country, and this boosted him above the needed 270 line to win, officially calling him the Official President of Kerbelia. His total was now at 372, just 12 less than Seedun Kerman's re-election run. This would account for roughly 69% percent of the Electoral College, with a 70 percent Popular vote.
Thus, Merfurt Kerman has won the presidency, and has promised to the Kerbelian peoples to continue the policies of Seedun Kerman to Keep Kerbelia Great Again! After his election, he held his Inauguration Speech which reads:
My fellow Kerbelians,
Ever since our first victory in Making Kerbelia Great Again, there has always been a special feeling of renewed patriotism for our nation. The voter turnout has always been at levels never seen before, we've advanced so far, and we've accomplished what no other nation could do in a lifetime. We did it in Eight years. But it doesn't stop there. As your former Vice President, I've worked with President Seedun in correcting the wrongs of this country and turning it into the beacon of Freedom that is has lacked for so long. We set the foundation to spread Kermans to different Star Systems, and we've invested in the local Aerospace Economies to promote rapid growth. And it proved to be what we needed all along. However, President Seedun has handed down his torch and given the Kerbelian People the say in who gets it, and you choose me. I promise to all of you, that I will continue the polices of President Seedun Kerman, and we will continue to Keep Kerbelia Great Again! Godbless all of you, and godspeed to a bright four years of growth!

Seedun farewell Speech.
Seedun farewell Speech.
As Seedun's final term is coming up in the history of Kerbelian elections, he has come out and made a farewell speech to Kerbelia. He has asked Kerbin News not to annotate it at all. It reads as follows:
To my country of Kerbelia,
I applaud you for your resilience during the times of conflict that we were able to sift out during my presidency. Thank you for giving me the chance and trust to turn this nation around, and to improve our country from what it used to be under the administration of Bob Kerman. During our time of prosperity, we were able to set the foundation for future generations to explore the Stars, just as we were intended to. Also, we were able to expand Kerbelian Influence worldwide, and we have formed powerful alliances and trade agreements with nations nobody thought was possible. We were able to keep the threat of Syracuse and Cramonia under stern watch, denying them access to the heart of our delicate freedom that they tried to snatch from us during the Red Revolution. It would be an understatement to say that they thought too little of us. Kerbelians are stronger than anything ever seen in all of the Kerman Sector of our Galaxy. We've conquered the purple beast that ruled our skies with brave boots in drenching pressure. We've sailed across the brightest stars that light up our night-sky with absolute ease. We've gone beyond the pleasure of our own home only out of curiosity, and not necessity. We've terraformed planets in a way no other thought possible. We've set boots on a world foreign to our own star, just as we had done to our second moon of Minmus. We own the future, and it is up to us that we shape it correctly. As my last words resonate throughout the world, I want you to remember one thing Kerbelia. You are Kerbelians. You can accomplish anything in this country. Live the Kerbelian Dream, and may God be with you. Godspeed!

Election Season Ramping up in Kerbelia...
Election Season Ramping up in Kerbelia...
After Seedun Kerman's re-election of 2028, Kerbelia was destined for a bright four more years under President Seedun's administration. And, this was true! Under President Seedun's terms, the Treaty of Space was officially finalized and the entire world incorporated the treaty. Furthermore, world peace was held together, even during the turmoil of the Konov Crisis. Furthermore, the Treaty of Leeland was signed, Economic and trade factors became a massive point of discussion over the years due to their prosperous boom, Kerbelia denied Radicals in Syracuse from doing odd things, Kerbelia defeated the threat of Kommunism, and many more amazing things occurred, such as interstellar Travel. President Seedun has truly made an impact in making Kerbelia the best nation on Kerbin, but everything good must come to an end, even during prosperous times.
This weekend, Kerbelian elections are to be held to see who the future president of Kerbelia will be. As everyone knows, this is one of the most exciting times of Kerbin Wide due to the massive amount of impact it can have on everything. And, the mild conservative of Seedun is unable to re-run for President due to him reaching his full term limit of 8 years. This has angered many Kerbelians, mainly because they loved Seedun's presidency and want him to continue running for President. In a form of bittersweetness though, the constitution does not allow for it, so he will not be able to run again.
Currently, the Kerpublican Presidential Nominee that was chosen at the KNC ( Kerpublican National Convention ) is Merfurt Kerman, and he is the Vice Preident of Seedun Kerman. He was responsible for drafting the original articles of the Treaty of Space, and he is a little more conservative than Seedun. As in, he won't let his country get ripped off, nor will he left his allies get messed with. He is usually known as "Seedun's Right Hand Guy" during many of his conflicts, so he has the proper experience to be President. Furthermore, he is a "for the people person" like Seedun, so if he gets elected, we wont see much change in the environment of Kerbelian Politics. However, he strongly believes in keeping other countries in line. So, if someone were to mess with Kerbelia election-wise, he would be the first to go after them.
On the other hand, we have the Demokratic Presidential Nominee, that being Bella. Bella tried running against Seedun last election, but lost a considerable amount. She believed in Radicalization of Kerbelia, and she wanted the entire nation to have full freedoms, even those greater than the government. She thought space exploration was worthless due to its environmental impacts, and still does. She plans to continue her same policies and has also brought the Independant of last year along as her Vice President.
Together, ( that being bella and the independant ) they are projected to have a total popularity of 35% among the nation's popular vote, while Merfurt has around 45%. This leaves a 20% toss up in votes, those being swing states near the North East of Kerlas. This is mainly because they have been facing more and more smog as a result of industrialization, and they are interested in Bella's proposals. However, the opposite can be said about the West: they're all in for Merfurt. This is because of the extensive oil reserves and the amount of wealth that is able to be generated out there. There is also an amazing Aerospace industry out west, and awesome farmland in the central lands of Kerbelia that is also leaning to Merfurt. Up north is made of mainly ship industries and service economies due to the difficult terrain. And, down south near the Capital, we have Major Industry and Manufacturing where a majority of the economy is from. This area is 70% Merfurt and 30% Bella, which is a typical ratio between the Kerpublicans and Demokrats. It was until President Seedun's victory that he was able to mix up the voter turnout here, and it is expected to stay this way until something big politically happens.
Politics aside, we are to remember President Seedun just as we did for Bob Kerman. President Seedun has led to amazing growth of Kerbelia, and his policies will continue to even after his presidency. We are to remember him for the rest of Kerbelian history as one of the Big 5 of our best presidents. Godspeed Seedun, we'll be seeing you back in space hopefully! And Kerbelians, don't forget to vote! The future of your country depends on your interests for your nation that projects all over the world!

Syracuse on Eve!
Syracuse on Eve!
Today, Newline unveiled footage of its ambitious "IPM-1" (Interplanetary Mission-1), a daring expedition aimed at reaching and studying the surface of Eve. The mission was carried out aboard a heavily modified interplanetary lander, carrying a single astronaut, a suite of advanced drills, an oversized heat shield, and an immense fuel supply to support both the descent and a potential return mission.
The footage, which quickly gained attention across Kerbin, showcases the spacecraft’s perilous journey as it approached Eve’s thick atmosphere. Upon entering the light side of the planet, the Newline mission control team was momentarily stunned. The planet's surface, altered significantly due to Kerbelia’s recent terraforming adjustments, looked vastly different from previous records.
"We were very surprised at first," remarked a Newline Director during a press conference. "We had completely forgotten that Kerbelia had fundamentally changed Eve’s surface and atmosphere. The data we had been using was outdated, and we were expecting the planet to resemble the thick, purple-hazed world we knew from past missions."
Eve, previously known for its crushing atmospheric pressure and violet-hued terrain, now presented an unexpected landscape—one that took mission control completely off guard. Analysts scrambled to compare real-time telemetry with archival data, attempting to understand the full extent of the transformations. The new footage reveals a brighter, more arid surface with unfamiliar geological formations, hinting at significant changes in atmospheric composition and possibly even climate.
While the mission was primarily intended for resource extraction and surface analysis, the unexpected conditions may force Newline to reconsider its long-term plans for interplanetary exploration. The organization has yet to release specific details on the astronaut’s condition or the overall success of the mission, but speculation is already running rampant about whether IPM-1 will attempt a return trip or establish a more permanent presence on the transformed world.
Syracuse returns to the Mun!
Syracuse returns to the Mun!
Under pressure from Seedun Kerman, Syracusan President Sambro Kerman made the personal meeting to the owner of Newline (who has chosen to remain anonymous) and gave him the go ahead for a contract. Syracuse has formed a contract with Newline, reviving the Space Shuttle age.
Newline designed the "Baltno-1" SSTO, based off of the STS-1 Mission by NASA. It was strapped to a large rocket, and flown into orbit. From there, it extracted all leftover fuel from the left over rocket fuel tanks, and set a course for the Mun!
It arrived in Mun orbit, and began its descent onto a valley in a mountainous area on the surface. From there, the Baltno landed next to rocks, where it had a mess up with the frontal landing gear. The undercarriage would not deployed due to it being stowed. Despite this, the brave pilots pushed onwards, and landed the shuttle perfectly.
Upon landing, Landu Kerman stepped out and placed the Syracusan flag, dubbing the site, "Welcome Back, Syracuse!"
The Shuttle then soon took off after a few science experiments and photography on Mun's surface. It used every last drop of fuel to make it back to Kerbin, and landed at the Newline base in the Western part of Syracuse.
This mission was dubbed a reminder to everyone, that Syracuse is still a very capable nation in space, and has not entirely focused on space travel.
Galactic Sailor's first venture to Minmus has President Seedun onboard!
As more requests for modules come in from the Kerbelian National Space Committee's Mintropolis project, companies like N.S.P., I.K.E. Industries, K.M.L., and Kerbal Kinetics are always competing to get ahold of the contract for some profit margins to fund their private missions. Recently, a module for habitation was needed, and Kerbal Mechanical Labs actually Swooped that contract out of NSP's hands. However, Kerbal Mechanical Lab's ship was not quite done yet, so NSP offered to take the cargo onboard their very new Galactic Sailor.
Along with this, President Seedun was supposed to visit Permafrost Point Research Station on the Great Flats of Minmus around this time, so he decided it would be an excellent idea to be one of the first Kerbals to hitch a ride to another celestial body with an untested spacecraft. Now, when we say the First, we dont literally mean the first to ride onboard the Galactic Sailor, but he was the first to land on Minmus with it. And, the reason he thought this idea, was because he was originally was the commander of Aurora Research Outpost on Laythe. Furthermore, he was basically as good as a pilot as Jebediah Kerman, the commander of Permafrost Research Station known as the first Kerbal to land on Minmus. So, with this, Seedun took control of the rocket without any avionics support, and he actually flew it better than the computer did, which was honestly expected. ( Fun fact, most of the leaders of countries on Kerbin are Kerbalnauts. )
Before he could get to his meeting though, he had to assemble the Habitat Module to the Mintropolis outpost, which he did successfully. Megwell, another amazing pilot, joined him on this duty to attach this module to the base, and also to watch over the ship while Seedun was at his meeting. ( Another fun fact, is that the AC-10 Megwell is named after our brave Kerbalnaut. ) Then, after the actual mission was complete, Seedun drove his way around Minmus to the Permafrost Research Station. It turns out, he was 5 hours late to his meeting because of this. However, the meeting went well, and it boosted crew moral. After this, they eventually came back to Kerbin, and landed at the Western Pack base in Ikreland, ending the mission.

Furthermore, a video of Seedun's parking can be found on the Official Kerbin Wide Web Youtube Channel.

Kerbelia Shows World's First Anti-Matter Space Plane.
A common problem with Space Planes is that they are heavy, and they need boosters. The Astra Sailor was originally designed to be a single stage to orbit platform, but it would work. The Titan Sailor attempted to fix this, but still, it wouldn't work. However, after years of technological advancements, Nicholas Aeronautics has achieved what no other has: the first engine to use the forces of Anti Matter to allow for infinite propulsion across the Kerbol Galactic Sector Alpha.
This plane is known as the Galactic Sailor, a new addition to Nicholas Space Production's common catalog of their Sailor Series, which is deemed the best of the best in terms of space travel and innovation. The Galactic Sailor does not boast as much storage as the Titan Sailor, but it is near in capacity, and it is able to easily haul 500 tons of payload across the Kerbol System and Kcalbeloh System. It is also extremely Cheap.
How is this possible? Well, we don't actually know. That's the part that the Kerbelian Space Committee has not wanted to be leaked. Rumors say that it is the engines, which were developed using the special Kerbelian Technologies that allow for telecom to their interstellar station, along with their fast travels to the Sera System. However, it is common for Nicholas Space Productions to declassify information as quickly as possible, so only time will tell us what truly powers this beast. At a press release, Nicholas Kerman actually said this plane has been in service for at most a year, and it's just been held in special government use cases.

Kerbelia Lands Man on another Star.
The day January 27th, 2027. It is a warm Sunday. Kerbals all across the world are playing astronaut outside on their weekend off from school. Adults are out ensuring the normal operation of their family. Pets sleep in, and occasionally go to eat. A week ago, Syracuse shows off the word's first Starfighter. A new class of planes are classified.
All the while normal everyday things are ongoing, Kerbelia lands man on another star.
500 meters, counts the clock as CapCom reports to the Interstellar ship who is able to communicate at an instant due to advancments in technology. 400 meters, the engines are preparing for open cycle combustion, as dust kicks up into it. 300 meters, the spaceship flips upright, and engines are ignited. 200 meters, the throttle is eased off to allow the ship to float down. 100 meters, Kerbals brace for impact. 0 meters, Kerbelia lands man on an Interstellar Planet.
Fegree, the commander, prepares his space suit. He unlatches the door near the airlock, and sees the reflection of a vivid orange in the payload bay. He conducts science from inside the airlock remotely, then he makes his descent down the ladder. He feels the ship sway in the strong winds as he finally makes his first footprint on Sera. He looks around, and says, "You may think being on Plock is lonely, but when you look up in the sky and don't see your own star.... Be humble for what you have, because it could vanish in an instant." Fegree goes to salute his flag of Kerbelia, and places down relics from all nations of Kerbelia to signify unity. He then states, "No Matter the Country, we are all Kerbals."
Afterwhile, the ship turns its engines on, and heads back to orbit with all the Kerbals, and docks at the K.I.O.S. 1, where they will stay until more cargo for a habitat is delivered.
Information regarding this can be found on the Kerbelian Website, and a Youtube Video.

The Next Race: The Mothership Era
The Next Race: The Mothership Era
A new race between nations has arisen: The age of Motherships. The Mothership class of aircraft will be characterized by the immense size of an aircraft.
The Titans of the Sky
The Titans of the Sky
Kerbellia’s “Munsy”
Kerbellia’s “Munsy”
Kerbellia’s answer to the Mothership race is the Munsy, a flying fortress of unprecedented proportions. Developed by the aerospace giant NSP, the Munsy is rumored to be larger than the Syracuse C-6B Canberra, the first "Mothership" once the largest aircraft to exist. The Munsy's advanced airframe, reinforced by classified composite materials, allows it to sustain enormous loads while maintaining a surprising degree of maneuverability for its size.
Syracuse’s C-10A “Spirit of Canberra”
Syracuse’s C-10A “Spirit of Canberra”
Syracuse, never one to be outdone, has entered the Mothership race with the C-10A Spirit of Canberra, a craft so vast that it can carry eleven fully loaded SSTOs, or Space Shuttles, within its cavernous cargo bay. Manufactured by Leviathan Flightworks, the Spirit of Canberra is not only a military asset but also a technological marvel, featuring nuclear-electric hybrid propulsion systems, allowing it to operate for extended durations without the need for frequent refueling. The C-10A has been described as an “airborne spaceport,” with some speculating that it could serve as a launch platform for next-generation space vehicles.

The Next Generation of Space and Air Travel: Syracuse Reveals SVA-1 "Starfighter"
The Next Generation of Space and Air Travel: Syracuse Reveals SVA-1 "Starfighter"
Out of the depths of the secretive basement known as Leviathan Flightwork's BadgerCorps, a new generation of aircraft has been unveiled.
The SVA-1 is a groundbreaking multi-role nuclear gas-powered aircraft designed to operate both within Kerbin's atmosphere and in the vacuum of space. This vehicle boasts the unique capability of reentering Kerbin's atmosphere and leaving it again without the need for refueling. Such advancements mark a leap in aerospace technology, pushing the boundaries of what is achievable in planetary exploration and defense.
Thus far, information about the SVA-1 has been limited to images and videos disseminated by Syracusan media, alongside reports from first-hand witnesses. These witnesses describe a remarkable aircraft, capable of vertical takeoff and transitioning into high-speed horizontal flight. Footage reveals the plane lifting off vertically with a smooth yet powerful thrust, followed by a brilliant blue afterburn that leaves onlookers in awe.
The blue afterburn is believed to be a result of the aircraft's advanced propulsion system, which leverages nuclear gas technology to achieve unparalleled efficiency and thrust. Experts speculate that the SVA-1 integrates cutting-edge thermal and plasma technologies, allowing it to sustain long-duration flights across various environments. This innovation positions the SVA-1 as a versatile asset, suitable for reconnaissance, combat, and space exploration missions.
The secrecy surrounding the SVA-1 is characteristic of Leviathan Flightwork's BadgerCorps, which has long been known for its groundbreaking projects. Analysts have drawn comparisons between the SVA-1 and earlier experimental aircraft, but the SVA-1’s ability to transition between atmospheric and space environments sets it apart from anything previously developed in a military sense.
Beyond its technical prowess, the SVA-1’s introduction raises questions about its implications for Kerbin’s aerospace dominance and geopolitical stability. One thing is certain: the SVA-1 represents a bold step forward in aerospace innovation, approaching a new era of possibilities for the people of Kerbin.
Kerbelian National Space Committee launches to Minmus, NSP reveals future launch plans!
At 3.AM Kerbal Standard Time, at Cape Kerbal Launch Complex, the Kerbal Launch System Block 1 and 2 soared off the pad to deliver cargo and base infrastructure to a new metropolitan area on Minmus. Crowds watched and cheered as the Kerbelian Government's space agency, the K.N.S.C, produced one of the only launch vehicles capable of rivaling the Astra Sailor in Inter-Kerbin space transport.
As stated on the Kerbelian Website, "the Kerbal Launch System, commonly called the KSL, has four solid rocket boosters that aid in initial takeoff, with a large center booster for the general heavy lifting. This portion of the rocket takes up roughly 75% of the total mass. Moving up, the orbital insertion and ejection stage makes up another 10% of the craft, with a payload bay encompassing roughly 15% of the craft. The vessel is noted to carry large payloads to Low Kerbin Orbit, and even past its sphere of influence. Furthermore, it is drastically cheaper than the Astra Sailor to produce, coming in around at a ration of 6 KSL's per every 1 Astra Sailor. The downside, though, is that it is not reusable at all, while the Astra Sailor is fully reusable."
The payload set for minmus, is a large central command center for a new metropolitan area on Minmus. This space city will be located directly on the other side of Permafrost research station, making it very remote, but it will allow for a more stable communications network to Kerbin.
Along with this, N.S.P. has released that they, along with Kerbal Mechanical Labs, have been working with the Kerbelian National Space Committee to get this space city built. The city is planned to become a launch station for rockets within the Kerbin System, along with housing a research station for Scientists all over Kerbin.
Oddly enough, Syracuse has been a major objector to the construction of a space city on Minmus, as they state it violates the treaty of space, as they state Kerbelia is taking control of territory on Minmus. Seedun Kerman has yet to respond to this, but in a private interview before this construction, he stated that, "Kerbelia doesn't have interests in causing violence in space, or taking a territory for ourselves unless threatened and with the accordance of the International Space Committee. I mean, we've literally terraformed planets, and have not taken them for ourselves. Seriously, we have co-existed with Syracusans on Duna, as they have a large convoy of research rovers going all along the planet."
-A Kerbin News Special.
Rare Astra Sailor Launch Today!
Passengers flying out of Kerbin Space International Airport in airliners peered out of their window to view the massive blast shock of the rocket, and soon, they lost sight of it.
Today, from Pad 41 KSC, N.S.P.'s Astra Sailor Mk.2 launched off the pad to soar into space to deliver a confidential payload.
We asked the Kerbelian National Space Committee if they would make a comment regarding the launch, and all they said was that it was for "Expanding future operations within the Kerbalian System." Furthermore, we asked the International Space Committee, who holds record of all launches, and they commented, "At the moment, we are unable to give a full comment regarding the launch, but it is related to expansion of Kerbal Kind within boundaries of Kerbin's influence."
This is certainly odd, as Kerbelians were just interstellar a couple months ago, and not much has been disclosed since then. Could the Kerbelians be downscaling due to mid-term elections coming up? Or could they possibly be investing in a launch platform for the Kerbal System out of Kerbin for cheaper access? Who knows, but in typical NSP fashion, they do not keep secrets for long, and we should expect to get some details soon. After all, silence from the world's lead aerospace company is not very common at all, especially since the election of Seedun Kerman all the way back in the Laythe days.
We can expect updates soon from NSP, and perhaps a routine check on the offical Kerbelian Mission logs would be beneficial.

Syracuse loses 40 Million Dollar Aircraft in the Kerlas Sea!
Syracuse loses 40 Million Dollar Aircraft in the Kerlas Sea!
On the night of January 15th, at approximately 9 P.M., a Syracusan military aircraft, the TM-76F Bobcat, encountered a catastrophic failure while flying through a fierce coastal storm. The plane, which had been conducting a routine training mission, experienced engine issues after being caught in the harsh weather conditions. The aircraft’s back two afterburners on each wing were snapped off during the turbulent flight, forcing the plane to rely solely on its two small turbine energy producers. These engines, significantly smaller and less powerful than the afterburners, were incapable of fully propelling the aircraft but allowed it to slowly glide through the storm.
As the plane’s engines failed, the crew was forced to make a desperate decision: they needed to make an emergency landing before the remaining energy sources completely drained. The pilots skillfully adjusted the plane's glide path, using the reduced thrust from the small turbines to control the descent. Incredibly, despite the storm’s fierce winds and heavy rainfall, the crew was able to guide the plane into a controlled crash landing in the rough waters of the sea.
The plane remained afloat for an astounding three hours after the crash landing, buoyed by the craft’s design and the crew’s prompt actions to stabilize it. The pilots, though shaken, remained calm and did what they could to stay safe in the perilous conditions, awaiting rescue.
The Syracusan National Navy (SNN) responded promptly to the distress signal sent by the aircraft. Within two hours of receiving the emergency call, SNN rescue teams managed to reach the crash site, battling through the storm’s unpredictable gusts and waves. Thanks to their quick thinking and precise execution, all members of the crew were safely rescued and transported to a nearby naval base for medical attention.
The crew, consisting of four members, were examined by medical professionals upon their arrival at the base. Fortunately, despite the severity of the incident, none of the crew sustained life-threatening injuries. A spokesperson from the Syracusan Navy reported that the crew’s survival was attributed to their high level of training, which prepared them for situations like these, as well as their quick reaction during the emergency.
The Great Christmas Truce - peace in Cramonia.
The Great Christmas Truce - peace in Cramonia.
As the Syracusan Military starts to get a hold on the armies and militias in the Nuntral and Free Cramonia regions -- they have reached a point in this war where finally, we can rest. Sambro and Gregner Kerman met with the largest Militia's leader in Nuntral, and declared a peace treaty for Christmas.
"We will celebrate the birth of our lord and savior, by ending this nation-tearing war!" -Sambro Kerman
The truce was declared with these rules:
Syracuse would leave any and all military presence in Free Cramonia and allow Free Cramonia to live and expand without interference,
Nuntral State will be held in a DEMOCRATIC power by the Militia leader, Potrin Kerman.
Potrin will now remove his presence from Free Cramonia and snuff out any and all remaining aggressive militias on the Cramonian Subcontinent.
A message from NSP, Nicholas Aeronautics, and Leviathan Flightworks
"Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"
The fall of a Reich - the last hours of Cramonia.
The fall of a Reich - the last hours of Cramonia.
The Cramonian Whistleblower has just released a recording that has shaken the political foundation of the Cramonian Reich to its core. The audio, containing a heated argument between two prominent political figures, exposes the internal conflict threatening to fracture the nation.
The Recording Transcript
As usual, (S) represents Sambro Kerman, while (C) represents Smartt Kerman
(S): "...your country!? I created this god-forsaken excuse of a country!"
(C): "Well, I lead it, don't I?"
(S): "Lead it! Ha! Well, if you love this country so much, you can fix it! Oh wait, you can't. Because I am destroying it! You see this flag?"
(C): "Sambro, don't!"
Sambro dramatically rips the Cramonian flag off the wall and ignites it with a pocket lighter, letting the flames consume it as he glares at Smartt.
(S): "There's your country in a nutshell, Smartt! The Cramonian peninsula will be free, and Nuntral will be left alone by the likes of your 'army'!"
(C): "Sambro, you are destroying this country!"
(S): "You destroyed this country!"
Sambro grabs a framed map of the Cramonian Subcontinent from the office wall and hurls it to the ground, shattering the glass.
(S): "You will attend the Vorzun meetings, and we will remove your power over the entire Cramonian Subcontinent! Death to the Reich!"
Sambro snatches the burnt remnants of the flag, storms to the window, and hurls it out before leaving the office in a fury.
Proposals for the New Cramonian Subcontinent
Proposals for the New Cramonian Subcontinent
The recording has ignited debate about Sambro's radical propositions for reshaping the Cramonian Subcontinent, which include:
The Free Cramonia Movement:
The Cramonian Peninsula will gain independence, forming a new nation named Free Cramonia. Advocates of this movement claim it will end decades of political oppression by the central government.Creation of the Nuntral State:
A new nation, Nuntral State, will be carved out of the region between Cramonia and Syracuse. Sambro argues this would prevent further exploitation of the Nuntral province and grant its people autonomy.Territorial Reductions:
Cramonia will lose over 37% of its land and relinquish claims to coastal waters, significantly reducing its influence in the region.Dissolution of the First Cramonian Reich:
The First Reich will be officially dismantled. Sambro calls it a necessary step to erase what he describes as a "failed empire."

The recording has sparked outrage among the Cramonian elite and citizens alike. Smartt Kerman has yet to respond publicly, though sources close to him suggest he views the recording as an act of treason. Sambro’s fiery rhetoric and dramatic gestures have emboldened separatist movements across the subcontinent, with protests erupting in major cities like Syracun, the capital of Cramonia.
Vorzun has confirmed an emergency meeting to address the escalating crisis. Regional leaders are divided on whether to support Sambro's vision or back Smartt's attempts to preserve the Reich.
Smartt Kerman is hung in the streets of the capital by protestors.
Kerbelia Goes Interstellar!
This keeps happening! We thought Terraformation was impressive, but this? And in a reasonable amount of time? How?
Kerbelia is the first nation to go to an interstellar planet, and come back within a year! How the heck did the even happen?
We spoke with Seedun at a press confrence, and he stated, "We just have determination to do things like this, and when you throw enough time, money, and effort at it, then it's possible." We also spoke with NSP and KML's owners, and they said, "This was much harder than Eve, or terraforming it for that matter. But we did, and that's all that matters." said Nicholas Kerman. "We've come so far in such a short amount of time," said Andrew Kerman.
Many are speculative on how this actually happened, and it is most likely classified due to how advanced this technology is. Some think they used high tech fusion reactors, while others who dont believe it jokingly say they teleported there. However, it is still impressive that this was achieved, and we be the first to post an update if this information is declassified.
The whole mission log is on the Kerbelian Website, and it can be viewed here.

Kerbelian space company boom!
Previously, the only two Kerbelian aerospace companies were Kerbal Mechanical Laboratorties and Nicholas Space Productions, with Nicholas Aeronautics and Kupera Aerospace being sub companies. Now, there seem to be so many more, rather it be Kermani Propulsion or Saranus Space Systems! How did this even happen?
During president Seedun’s first term, he created a tax cut for aerospace companies to encourage rapid growth within the industry, and it seemed to pay off! Many companies arose from the ground, and used NSP and Kerbal Mechanical laboratories as ground work to get it done. And now during Seedun’s second term, he has created a government agency to directly fund these companies.
This does mean that the top aerospace divisions are starting to face more and more competition from the others, and this too is driving up production within the industry, as new heights are sought after to be the very best.
To these new companies that have just started, they are in the best of positions, as they can use past missions as reference, and request grants from either Kerbelia or NSP.
This era is truly the golden era of Kerbelia, as she is being pushed to new heights never seen before.

Syracusans and Kerbelians meet in the most unexpected way?
Syracusans and Kerbelians meet in the most unexpected way?
This evening, a dramatic event unfolded as Kerbelian President Seedun Kerman was flying aboard his private jet, the sleek and state-of-the-art NAAF-7. Mid-flight, Seedun was practicing aerobatics, and he got a little too close to the water. However, in a stroke of incredible fortune, the SNN Sambro, a Syracusan aircraft carrier, was operating nearby. (And no, it definitely wasn’t patrolling Leeland waters just a coincidence, of course!)
Upon receiving the distress signal, the Sambro immediately dispatched an Almen Bevk-class frigate equipped with a rescue dinghy. The rescue team navigated quickly and efficiently to the crash site, recovering President Seedun unscathed. Despite the harrowing circumstances, the President was reported to be in good spirits, thanks to the swift and professional response of the Syracusan Carrier Force.
Following the rescue, President Seedun publicly expressed his gratitude to the Syracuse government and their naval forces. In a statement, he said, "I am profoundly thankful for the bravery and expertise of the Syracusan Carrier Force. Their quick action not only saved me but demonstrated the deep bond and cooperation that can exist between nations."
After this rescue, the Kerbelian Navy was swift to recover all parts of Seedun's downed Jet, and it has been reported to be fully repaired, with Seedun getting his pilots license terminated for 2 months. Poor Seedun.
Kerbelians are very confused.
Kerbelians are very confused.
Being Sued? Sambro wants peace? what the heck even happened in Kerbin! It's only been one singular week!
Earlier this week, Grippler Aeroworks, an aerospace company based in Ikreland, attempted to file a lawsuit against NSP Corperation for supposedly "Stealing their copyrighted name on the NAAF-7 'Gripper.'" When Nicholas Kerman read the pre-lawsuit papers, he was very confused, as he never named anything Grippler. Also, he thought it was very odd, since Arrow Aerospace made those fighters, not NSP. It should be noted that Arrow Aerospace is a sub-company of Nicholas Aeronautics, which is in fact another subcompany of NSP. Still, though, this was very confusing, and an appeal was made to the Vorzun courts, to which they saw the lawsuit to be dismissed.
Another thing that happened this week was Syracusan advocation for Kerbelia getting kicked out of Vorzun. Long story short, it didn't happen. We don't feel like explaining it. Also, Kerbelia was claimed to be alone geo-politically and sanctioned over a false lawsuit. Oops, we accidentally explained it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Finally, Syracusans want peace. How did we go from them wanting Kerbelia out of Vorzun to wanting peace. Seriously, I'm asking for a friend. Does anybody know?
Who knows, this week was insane, and Seedun Kerman has said something about it.
"I'm regretting running for a second term. Seriously. But, this world needs me and Kerbelia, so I guess we can't stop now."

Here is a picture of Thatmo to take you mind off stupid geo-politics
``Peace on Kerbin - Forever?
``Peace on Kerbin - Forever?
Recently, Syracusan leader Sambro Kerman was shown the biblical chapters Romans 12:14-21.
"Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. 16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position.[a] Do not be conceited.
17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. 18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 19 Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord. 20 On the contrary:
“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.”
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good"
This has opened Sambro's eyes greatly. Sambro Kerman has ordered the takedown of the originally top secret "Planet Destroyer" Space ships in order with Kerbin, Laythe, and Duna. Next week's Vorzun Meeting, Sambro has promised to talk about peace with thew orld, and bring no further interests in war UNLESS Syracusan lives are at stake.
A Stellar Thanksgiving.
A Stellar Thanksgiving.
As soon as Seedun Kerman woke up, he started to dial the numbers of all the world leaders, Specifically Sambro Kerman's number first. When a drowsy Sambro Kerman picked up the line, Seedun Kerman said, "Happy Thanksgiving!" and Sambro Said, "Oh, Happy Thanksgiving. I thought you nuked me for a second."
All around the Kerbolar System, Thanksgiving is celebrated as a time of year to be grateful for all that we have, and to connect with your family. Nations get past their differences for a day, and activities are carried out for entertainment. Governments provide food for everyone to exchange, with Syracuse having the largest celebrations in the entire Kerbolar System. However, this simple tradition didn't just come out of nowhere, but instead it had much to do with the formation of what we know today as the United States of Kerbelia and the rest of the world.
Before there was any nation of the face of Kerbin, it was filled with native Kerbals that used the planet for farming, and living a long life. However, this peaceful way of life would soon end when the Minmutians of Minmus finally visited Kerbin with their powerful weapons, and economic interests. The Minmutians would set up a colony in what is now known as Kermani, the capital of Kerbelia, but they had limited knowledge of the land, and were not able to yeild sufficient crop margins to survive. Day after day, more Minmutians died due to starvation. But, a Kerbal in the nearby region went out to see what these colonists were doing, and he noticed they were not doing well. So, in Kerbal fashion, he decided to teach the colonists how to farm in exchange for protection from wild animals living in the country side. The minmutians agreed, and they went on to learn how to successfuly farm, eventually yeilding plentiful crop margins. With this, the Kerbals and Minmutians celebrated their alliance with a feast of giving thanks. The two parties mixed their cultural foods together, and celebrated with traditional sporting events and competitions.
With this, the first Thanksgiving ever recorded was a happy event in which two parties got along in the common interest of survival. Hopefully we can learn from this, as it would surely make this world a better place.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Kerbelia images the first picture of nearby Supermassive Blackhole Kcalbeloh!
Earlier today, Kerbelia has released a picture regarding the nearby blackhole, Kcalbeloh! And the image is very high quality, but how did this get taken?
With advanced technology located in a very high orbit around Kerbin, the Titan Telescope was able to image Kcalbeloh in high detail. However, there seems to be some black dots in the image. This is due to the excessive radiation of the Supermassive blackhole that is located at the center of our Galaxy.
President Seedun Kerman Re-elected President of Kerbelia!
President Seedun Kerman Re-elected President of Kerbelia!
Last night, voting closed in all parts of the United States of Kerbelia, and the count for who won the election began.
The rules of the election is that the first to 270 Elektoral Points is nominated as President Elect of Kerbelia. Also, members of the Kerbelian House of Representatives and the Kerbelian Senate are voted for on this day. Another part of this election is the Popular Vote, and whoever wins this gains the popularity among the Nation.
At first, Bella Kerman was in the lead by 28 Elektoral Points, but then Seedun soon overtook her, making him lead by 132 Elektoral Points, giving him 150 Points. An Independent Kerbelian named Josh Kerman received 5 Electoral Points at the time Seedun overtook Bella
Shortly after this, though, Bella rose to 56 Elektoral Points, Josh rose to 24, and Seedun rose to 210 points. Many Kerbelians were awaiting Seedun's return to office after his first successful term, and many Bella Supporters were frightened.
Midway through, Seedun got over the 270 point boundry, bringing him up to 310 electoral votes. Bella rose to 100, and Josh at 40. Seedun was offically announced the winner of the election, but counting continued.
Near the end of counting, Seedun Kerman reached 386 electoral votes, which was just a bit short of what he was projected to win. Bella ended off at 104 Elektoral Votes, and Josh stayed at his 44 Elektoral Votes.
With this, Seedun Kerman became the first president to receive nearly 75% of the Elektoral Votes. Furthermore, his party, the Kerpublican Party, won the House and the Senate.
The next morning when polling ended, President Seedun walked out of his house in Kermani, and spoke at a press confrence. He stated, "I can't believe we thought Bella could win there for a second, Thank you to all my loyal voters of Kerbelia."

Kerbelian Elections May Cause Unwanted Issues!
Kerbelian Elections May Cause Unwanted Issues!
In the coming months the Kerbelian Elections are occurring, and this could mean disaster for Aerospace Companies located within her borders!
A movement from the Radical Left, known as "Green-Kerbin," is to reduce pollution of Kerbin by reducing Kerbelia's emissions of harmful substances into the ozone layer. The leader of this Radical Left Party is Bella Kerman, and she has been campaigning hard against Seedun Kerman to kick him out of office. She wants the aerospace division to slow down, along with reducing the Kerbelian resource extraction rate to help "Heal Kerbin."
However, Seedun has been battling hard, stating under his presidency, Kerbelia has progressed more than it ever has. Along with this, he's given facts about the growing economy, record low inflation rate, and lower crime rate in Kerbelia. He finally stated that he has worked at keeping the world under Kerbelian control, even if this meant momentary conflict with Syracuse.
Bella, on the other hand, has been stating that the Leeland Crisis was Seedun's fault, and that Kerbelia should allow Syracusan Immigrants into the country, as the Red Revolution would have never happened if Seedun didn't close this border.
Many Kerbelians think Bella's reasoning is false, but regions that primarily have a Syracusan population believe in these motives. Still, though, the border remains to be shut by Seedun.
A formal name for this Radical Left Party is called "The Algae Party," and this was the same party that Bob Kerman, the former president, operated under. If she is to get elected, this could spell issues for Nicholas Kerman and Andrew Kerman's progress in space exploration, and Kerbelia wouldn't be a major funder of their tasks anymore.
Due to this upcoming issue, K.M.L. and N.S.P. have been rapidly sending out missions to the edge of the Solar System to finish their plans for the year, and hopefully they will be able to do this in the upcoming years after this elections...

We spoke to the owner of Kerbal Mechanical Labs about his achievement, and he said "It was fairly easy, it's fairly similar to how we've done things in the past. One of the easiest parts of this landing was the weak gravity of Nissee. It gave us leg room to complete a safe landing for our crew, and the crew had a blast on the surface," Andrew Kerman said.
We also interviewed Nicholas Kerman, the owner of N.S.P., and he said, "Yeah, Kerbal Mechanical Labs is incredible. Who would have thought a small aerospace company like K.M.L. would challenge an aerospace division of a World-Country such as leviathan? Regardless, the two have both done very impressive feats, but today we're congratulating such an impressive accomplishment done by K.M.L."
Who would have thought that landing on Minmus would be the spark that lit the fire.

Kerbelian Mission to Neidon ends in Fiery Fashion!
Kerbelian Mission to Neidon ends in Fiery Fashion!
After a long transfer to Neidon, the joint project between Nicholas Space Productions and Kerbal Mechanical Labs of exploring Neidon began!
This mission explored the entire Neidon system, including the two moons of Thatmo and Nissee. During this mission, many new things were learned, such as that clouds could exist on an icey celestial body so far out as some form of some dry ice gas. Furthermore, Nissee was discovered to contain many rare materials, and beautiful sites!
Near the end of this successful mission, Nicholas Space Productions was planning their return route to home. They could have went to Plock, but a transfer window was not feasible at the time, and returning to the inner solar system wouldn't work out either. So, N.S.P. and KML came up with a brilliant idea: go into Neidon, and try to keep communications alive. So, they decided to do this, and for 15 minutes, they kept communications alive until the camera cut out. After that, the Titan Sailor 75 was never heard from again, as it challenged the might of Neidon.
The full video of its descent, along with some "fitting" music can be found here

Nicholas Space Productions releases documents regarding Konov Sea.
This evening, N.S.P. has released new documents regarding Sonar and Electromagnetic scans of the Konov Sea, and they have found the source of the radioactive material in the region. It appears as if it is about 60 miles off of where it got shot out of the sky, and the radiation has been spreading rapidly over the ocean. If the materials are not removed within a week, then the entire ecosystem of the Konov Sea will surely perish.
This week's topics at Vorzun released by the Vorzun board
This week's topics at Vorzun released by the Vorzun board
After last week's postponement due to the escalating Konov Crisis, this week's Vorzun Weekly Meeting promises to be both longer and more comprehensive. The meeting has been extended to twice its usual length to address the growing number of pressing international concerns. Key attendees, representing various sectors and alliances, include Sambro Kerman, Gregner Kerman, Tejas Kerman, Seedun Kerman, Smartt Kerman, Hudson Kerman, and Buford Kerman.
The packed agenda reflects the geopolitical turmoil and unresolved issues surrounding the region. The following topics are slated for discussion:
Controversial Syracusan Arctic Airbase
The construction and operations of the Syracusan Arctic Airbase have raised alarms across the globe, with concerns about its strategic military implications.Kerbelia and other countries view this as a provocative move, potentially upsetting regional stability.Konov Crisis and the Konov Wall
The Konov Crisis remains unresolved, with growing political consequences. Discussions are expected to delve into the contentious Konov Wall, a divisive project exacerbating tensions between Kerbelia and Syracuse.Syracusan Military Presence on Leeland’s Coast
Syracuse's military deployment near Leeland’s coastal regions has sparked concerns over sovereignty and territorial integrity. Leeland authorities claim the presence violates international agreements, while Syracuse argues it’s a necessary defensive measure.Cramonian Possible Annexation
Speculation about a potential annexation of Cramonia by Syracuse has created a diplomatic flashpoint. This topic is expected to elicit heated debate, as the implications could reshape regional borders and alliances.The “Firebird”
Details on the mysterious “Firebird” project remain classified, but its inclusion in the meeting suggests significant international interest. Rumors range from a revolutionary aircraft to a strategic weapons system, raising questions about its purpose and origin.Syracuse Shooting Down a ‘UFO’
Syracuse’s military recently claimed to have shot down an unidentified flying object, sparking global speculation. Was it an alien craft, a rogue surveillance drone, or a covert military experiment? The meeting will seek clarity on this enigmatic incident.Syracuse and Kerbelia Election Results
The recent elections in Syracuse and Kerbelia have introduced new leadership dynamics that could influence international relations. Analysts are keen to understand how these results will impact ongoing negotiations and disputes.Nuclear Arms Deal
The negotiation of a new nuclear arms deal is critical, as nations strive to balance deterrence with disarmament. Key stakeholders are expected to push for transparency and enforceable commitments to avoid a destabilizing arms race.
Dolfin's return! NWPA buys three DOLFIN units.
Dolfin's return! NWPA buys three DOLFIN units.
The Konov Conflict and the resulting Konov Radiation Crisis have presented an unprecedented challenge to planetary and environmental safety, prompting the Nuclear Waste Processing Agency (NWPA) to take decisive action. In light of the growing environmental threat, the NWPA has initiated the development of an underwater mobile research and containment unit. This project marks the resurgence of the once-groundbreaking DOLFIN (Deep Oceanic Logistics and Forensic Investigation Nexus), which has not been operational since its historic deployment during the Kerbelian landing on Laythe nearly a decade ago.
Originally designed as a modular exploration and analysis platform, DOLFIN was celebrated for its adaptability and endurance. Its success during the Laythe mission cemented its reputation as a key asset in interplanetary exploration, particularly in aquatic environments. However, following its retirement, DOLFIN's cutting-edge technologies were shelved as the focus shifted to other planetary exploration initiatives.
Now, the escalating crisis on Konov has necessitated the revival of this legendary unit. The radiation fallout, stemming from unknown sources deep within Konov's waters, poses not only environmental risks but also threats to regional stability and resource security.
The renewed DOLFIN initiative is a collaborative effort led by Newline Corporation, Leviathan Flightworks, and the NWPA Systems Unit. These organizations are pooling their expertise to upgrade DOLFIN with state-of-the-art technologies, including advanced radiation shielding, autonomous navigation systems, and a newly integrated "containment and neutralization" module.
The primary objectives of the mission include:
Investigation: Chart the deep-sea environment of Konov to locate the source of the radiation.
Containment: Assess the feasibility of containing or isolating the radioactive site to prevent further spread.
Remediation: Develop a solution to neutralize or permanently mitigate the radiation leak.
Konov's depths present unique challenges, such as extreme pressure, high radiation levels, and potential unknown hazards. To meet these challenges, the revived DOLFIN is being fitted with:
Adaptive AI Systems: Enabling real-time decision-making in unpredictable environments.
Modular Toolkits: Allowing it to perform diverse tasks, from sample collection to deploying containment structures.
Collaborative Control: A hybrid model of remote human oversight and autonomous operation ensures mission flexibility.
The success of this mission could redefine how planetary crises are managed in the future. Beyond addressing the immediate threat, the Konov mission has broader implications for interplanetary policy, scientific research, and deep-sea technology development. It could pave the way for future deployments of underwater units to other celestial bodies, such as Laythe and Eve, where oceans remain key areas of scientific curiosity.
By restoring DOLFIN to operational status, the NWPA, in partnership with Newline and Leviathan, is taking a crucial step toward safeguarding planetary environments and upholding its commitment to global stewardship. The underwater explorer is poised to dive not only into the depths of Konov but also into the history books once again.
As preparations for the mission accelerate, the eyes of the world—and beyond—are fixed on the depths of Konov, where the future of planetary crisis management may well be rewritten.
Syracuse National Navy releases images of the Konov Conflict
Syracuse National Navy releases images of the Konov Conflict
The Head Admiral, Gregner Kerman, has unveiled previously unseen images of the Konov Incident, shedding new light on the mysterious event. These images, officially declassified by the Admiralty, provide critical insights into the aftermath of what many describe as one of the most significant moments in Kerbin's modern history.
Here is a selection of the newly released visuals, capturing the scene in stunning detail. Each frame offers a glimpse into the scale and complexity of the event, fueling ongoing debates among scientists, military analysts, and the Kerbal public.
NWPA Responds to the situation
NWPA Responds to the situation
The Konov Sea Conflict escalated to a critical point when Syracuse accidentally launched a nuclear missile. Fortunately, this single missile was intercepted and neutralized over the mid-Konov Sea by an Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) system aboard the SNN Almen Bevk-class frigate, which was operating within the Sambro Carrier Fleet. The interception prevented the warhead from detonating, minimizing the risk of widespread destruction. However, the missile’s impact on the sea caused a limited release of radioactive material.
The leakage was initially contained to below the ocean surface, with no significant environmental effects detected until the warhead sank to a depth of 323 meters. At this depth, minor radiation began to seep into the surrounding water. Prompt action by the Nuclear Waste Processing Agency (N.W.P.A.) contamination response teams ensured that the situation was swiftly managed. Initial assessments indicate that the affected area will require 30 days of remediation before the sea is declared safe for public use.
As a precautionary measure, authorities have issued a ban on all activities involving the Konov Sea. This includes swimming, fishing, drinking, or any form of direct contact with its waters. Cities and towns dependent on the Konov Sea for water supply have activated backup systems to ensure uninterrupted access to clean water. Residents are strictly prohibited from using any water sourced from the sea during the contamination period.
Efforts are ongoing to monitor and mitigate the environmental impact, with specialized teams deployed to contain and neutralize the radiation. Public updates will be provided regularly to ensure transparency and safety. Citizens are urged to follow all official guidelines and cooperate with local authorities until the situation is fully resolved.

Syracusan response to Kerbelian claims
Syracusan response to Kerbelian claims
Earlier this morning, Gregner Kerman has come forth to talk about the Konov Missile Crisis. While answering some questions, Gregner was asked by a reporter, "What about the other two missiles?" Gregner would look at the reporter, stunned, for a few seconds before asking, "What other two missiles?" The reporter would go on to explain how a Kerbelian media group claimed there were two other missiles launched and that Kerbelia shot them down.
Gregner has reached out to us and explained the story. He would remark, "Are you serious? We save these fools and they repair us like this? Lying to the faces of millions of Kerbals? Dear Seedun, I know you're reading this! If you ever, EVER, try to pull a stunt like that again, you can forget ANY alliance or friendly treaty with us! I will see you at Vorzun, Seedun!"
Nuclear Waste in the Konov Sea!
Nuclear Waste in the Konov Sea!
Following the disaster that occurred in the North border, Syracusian ICBM's nuclear warheads were shotdown over the Sea of Konov, causing contamination near the Syracusian Coastlines. If not treated, we could have another South Arctic Sea fallout issue just as we did during the Bob Years of Presidency. Syracuse has been adamant about publicly stating this is an issue, and Kerbelia has even said they would help clean this up, just as they did many years ago. However, the two country's tensions have been on the up trend, so it seems like the answer may be a "No," if given one. In the mean time, Kerbelia has been preventing the Nuclear Waste from spreading to their coastline by creating artificial barriers and currents in the Konov Sea. If Syracuse doesn't get their issue fixed quickly, it could be devastating to their locals living in the Northern regions.
Kerbelia Calls For Nuclear Arms Agreement.
Kerbelia Calls For Nuclear Arms Agreement.
Following the disaster that occurred in the North border, the United States of Kerbelia has been pushing aggressive policies to prevent another threat like this from occurring. One of these "policies" was introduced to Sambro in the last phone call Seedun had with him. Seedun stated that no more threats to Kerbelia would be tolerated. Along with this, he has spoken to Sambro about expanding the National hotline, to ensure that communication continues to grow. Seedun has stated many times that he is not wanting war, rather growth of Kerbelia, and their space program. Sure, Kerbelia certainly has the upper hand in nearly every aspect, but one area that isn't easily topped is Nuclear War, which results in both parties getting destroyed. This is one of Syracuses' main strategies, and Kerbelia has stated that she doesn't see a future in Nuclear War, but the sad reality is that the two nations must both maintain these weapons to deter the other from attacking. And at this, Syracuse has caught Kerbelia's "Achilles Heel," not because of Kerbelia's lack of Nuclear Weapons, but at Mutually Assured destruction, as stated previously. So, to end this threat, Kerbelia has called for a meeting to ensue in Vorzun state to primarly focus on this topic, and it is to be held next week at the latest.
Vorzun Meeting Canceled, And a Deep Dive Into the Konov Incident.
Vorzun Meeting Canceled, And a Deep Dive Into the Konov Incident.
Earlier this week, a show of force occurred near the Konov border for reasons that just appeared at the beginning of this week. And, this conflict caused enough tension to where the Vorzun meeting has been canceled, and pushed back to an unknown date. But, what is important is how this all started.
At the beginning of the week, Syracuse started construction on a border wall in the border checkpoint town of Konov, which sits on the Konov bridge that connects the Kerbelian landmass to the Syracusian landmass. Many experts think their motives for doing this was to start another conflict with Kerbelia, as that's Syracuses' favorite thing: conflict. Even dating back to their war for independence, they could have just asked Kerbelia instead of causing deaths, but they chose to go to war just to seem powerful. But, at the end of the day, that is Syracusian politics for you, and we are not here to drive you insane with them. Anyway, Kerbelia was very confused at first, but they didn't seem to mind since Syracusian immigrants would stop flooding the North part of the country, and trafficing illegal substances. However, it became an issue when they decided to build military outposts in a neutral town. That's when Kerbelia got set off on the wrong hair. She decided to "kindly" tell Syracuse to remember who they're messing with, and then in Syracuse fashion, they doubled down. I mean, what did we expect? Truly? After this, Sambro got in contact with Seedun, and they have a somewhat civil talk about this. To nobody's surprise, Syracuse blamed Kerbelia, and Kerbelia was mad that Syracuse were putting military in a border town. Eventually, they got a plan initiated, which saw a peaceful end to this situation, as Syracuse ended their border wall and construction of military bases.
However, Syracuse decided to launch an ICBM toward Kerbelia, because why wouldn't they? As soon as the launch occurred, Kerbelian satellites picked it up, and immediately sent interception attempts at it, to which it took 2 attempts to shoot out of the sky. Many Syracusian sources say it was them, but that is false. Interestingly enough, it was destroyed just after it exited it's stage 1 of its flight path, which is impressive. Unknown to the public, three other ICBM's were distinguished taking off from Syracusian lands, but 2 of them exploded out of the silo, most likely from aging issues, or possibly a self-detonation. Kerbelia has offered to help Syracuse clean up this mess of nuclear waste in the ocean, but they have not responded. In the end, communication is vital to peace, because if you do something without saying you're doing an action, an ICBM will get launched your way. And hopefully will get shot down, too.

Conflict in the border town of Konov!
Conflict in the border town of Konov!
Kerbin returns to conflict…
In the Northern Regions of Syracuse and Kerbelia, a city has been occupied by both nations’ ground and naval forces. This city is on the Konov Bridge and is a direct checkpoint to cross the border. Syracuse has built a wall in the city, protecting its people. Kerbelia has taken this offensively, and has shown their military presence as a show of force.
Meanwhile in Slyvia, Sambro’s cabinet received word from Newline Satellites of the large movement of Naval and Ground Vessels toward the Konov Bridge. The capitol building went on complete red alert. Sambro informed Gregner, who inacted Syracusan Code MD216: “Code for the disruption of peace to the nation”
The Syracusan National Air Force (SNAF) immediately diverted attention to the region. XB-02s were deployed in mass squadrons to conduct surveillance and be on standby for bombing runs. Meanwhile, the Syracusan National Navy (SNN) sent a carrier battle group to the Konov Sea. The SNN Sambro Aircraft Carrier was accompanied by 14 Almen Bevk class Frigates and 4 MAD Class SNN SubScuds.
Missile silos across both nations were opened as Kerbelia received word of Syracuse’s mobilization. Kerbelia would respond with more presence of military, flying unidentified aircraft dangerously close to the border.
Syracusan Tanks zoomed in the streets of the city, meeting at the checkpoint. “Checkpoint Zonov.” As 6 tanks rolled up on the Syracusan side, 6 Kerbelian tanks met on the other side. Both side had the tank barrels in fighting position.
Sambro would call the president of Kerbelia directly, here is the unclassified conversation: (S) will stand for Sambro, (K) will stand for Kerbelia. (
S)”What on Kerbin do you think you are doing!?” (K) “I was going to ask you the same thing, Sambro. You Syracusans must react so violently!” (S) “Like during the oran-“ (K) “BAH BALAH. Anyways, this is not about the revolution, Sambro! This is about how Kerbin is going to be a wasteland if you don’t stand down!” (S) “Oh no, no, no! We’re not falling for that again! As soon as we stand down, you’ll launch a full scale attack! And wouldn’t you care about Kerbin being destroyed, you think you’re all high and mighty up in your stupid Eve colonies!” (K) “Will you just shut up about that? The fact of the matter is, Kerbin is going to be 99% radiation if BOTH of us dont stand down!” *silence* (S) “I’ve just talked with Gregner, we can work something out.” (K) “Good! Call me when this is figured out, Sambro!”
After 25 minutes of negotiations, Sambro told Gregner to deactivate the Syracusan National Military, as Kerbelia would too. But this is not where the story ends.
A disruption in the communication lines found a Syracusan Nuclear Silo launching an ICBM. It was headed straight for a civilian target with no air defenses.
Gregner would reach the Silo just as the rocket was launched, sending a very angry Gregner into panic mode.
The missile soared over the west beach of the Konov sea, entering stage 2.
When suddenly, “Missile destroyed!”
An Almen Bevk class frigate carrying 14 ABM (Anti Ballistic Missiles) shot at the missile. They would watch as it screamed through the skies, reached Mach 8 as it impacted with the ICBM. The ICBM would crumble and fall to pieces in Syracusan waters.

Never Before Seen Sights of Urlum!
Never Before Seen Sights of Urlum!
We though Moho was an interesting and impressive feat, but N.S.P. has topped this by venturing all of the way out to Urlum, the 2nd to last gas giant of the Kerbolar System! And what did we get? Amazing pictures, of course! What made these pictures able to happen? Kerbal Mechanical Lab's SatScan Technology!
For the past years, Kerbal Mechanical Labs has been developing their new SatScan technology to allow for better sub-surface imagining of celestial bodies, along with beautiful pictures, of course! Also, N.S.P. has developed a system to allow for Data to be transferred at rates never seen before, making a transmission from Urlum take 30 minutes, and not 4 hours! How it works? We don't exactly know, but it most likely works with their comprehensive satellite network around the Kerbolar System.
Anyway, Urlum, the 2nd furthest gas giant, seems to have Diamonds raining from its atmosphere, along with metallic kydrogen found in its very dense regions. Perhaps all other gas giants have materials like this? Who knows, but extracting these resources seems near impossible, since conventional means of propulsion do not work on Gas Giants due to the steep pressure curve, and this can be seen on Eve. However, Kerbals around all of Kerbin look in awe at the pictures captured by this mission.

Sanken Flight 001 - The beginning
Today marks the very first official Airline flight! The flight was on a Sanken Airliners D-757-400 and carried 60 Passengers. The flight was from the very first international airport, the KSC AP INTL (Kerbal Space Center Airport International) to the Newline Airbase in Syracuse, and back to KSC AP INTL (KAI). The flight lasted a total of 6 hours, (including refuel) and successfully landed safely and returned to the gate each time.
This flight has marked the new beginning to air travel, now officially commercial, Syracusans and Kerbellians can meet again without a conflict!
The Kerbin Wide Web would also like to announce that the video of the flight was recorded and posted on the Kerbin Wide Web Official Channe.
Please note that commercial/civilian travel to the KSC is strictly prohibited. Please see Kerbellian Officials for more details.
Once in a Lifetime Laythe Eclipse!
Once in a Lifetime Laythe Eclipse!
This week, Laythe will experience a 3/4 Eclipse, only allowing 1/4 of the sun's light to reach Laythe's Surface! Now, how is this possible, and what does it mean?
Laythe, the water word around Jool, is tidally locked to Jool, so it experiences one day per orbital day, which is roughly 15 hours. For a four hour window, it gets completely covered by Jool, causing the entire planet darkness. However, this is not the Eclipse we are talking about! Instead, we are mentioning an Eclipse from another moon, such as Val or Tylo! When the circumstances are right, Tylo will move in front of Laythe this week, and it will block sunlight coming to laythe, forming a penumbra of darkness around Laythe.
Now, this event only happens once every 100 years, so all schooling and work on Laythe will be canceled that day for everyone to experience it themselves! Along with this, transportation to specific zones of the Eclipse will be given to those who need it.
Have a happy Solar Eclipse hunting day!
Inner Kerbolar System Conquered!
Inner Kerbolar System Conquered!
Earlier this year, N.S.P. launched an Astra Titan off of Red Horizon Space Port on Duna, but they never said what it would be used for. Today, they have released details regarding this mission, and it appears as if they have sent a satellite all the way out to Moho!
Moho is an interesting planet, as it is the closest planet to our Star, Kerbol. This means that it takes a LOT of fuel to slow down to Moho's orbital speeds, and you can easily shoot past it if you're not careful enough! However, the Astra Titan was equipped with plenty of fuel to complete this task, and it managed to drop a 25 Ton Satellite off at an elliptical Mohoian Orbit to continue surface surveillance. Along with this, it is to act as a communications satellite, and will be operated the International Space Committee, with control of it going to the K.D.N.
Sadly, Moho isn't too useful of a planet, as it is far too close to the sun to make space travel possible. Along with this, exporting resources from Moho would result in a net loss, and it is illegal to do so in the first place.
With the Inner Kerbolar System conquered, travel between planets is expected to increase. Along with this, the amount of active Titan Sailors has outgrown the amount of old Astra Sailors, and N.S.P. and Kerbal Mechanical labs have said it is for a transport system throughout the Inner Kerbolar System.
Minmus Base Celebrates 85th Anniversary!
Minmus Base Celebrates 85th Anniversary!
85 Years ago on this Day, the construction of a Minmus Base was put into place, and after a year of construction, Permafrost Point became the first ever outpost of life on another planet, and it marked the transition of Kerbal Kind into the Modern Age.
At this time, Kerbal Classics, such as "Touch the Sky" was released, and the world was a calmer place as geopolitics didn't exist.
This base has aging technology, but each month an Astra Sailor resupplies, and fixes issues with the base. However, it is still a crucial to the development of technologies, as it served as Astra Sailor's test bed.
Another interesting fact is that the Minmus Base is older than the country of Syracuse! Yeah, it was made far before the Orange War! Quite Interesting.
Anyway, the Space Community wishes the Minmus Base a very happy celebration! Drinks are on us!

Sambro wins two states!
Sambro wins two states!
The Syracuse election is well underway, and candidate Sambro Kerman is emerging as a formidable contender. With the initial rounds of voting completed, Sambro Kerman has already claimed victory in two pivotal states—Erremont and Brovtok. These early wins highlight his growing popularity and suggest strong momentum for his campaign as he continues to make strides in securing widespread support.
In Erremont, a state known for its diverse demographics and strong working-class base, Sambro’s policies resonated well with voters. Analysts attribute his win here to his emphasis on economic reforms and infrastructure development, which align with the priorities of Erremont’s citizens. The victory in Erremont is particularly significant, as it demonstrates his appeal across a broad swath of voters, from urban areas to rural communities.
The State of Brovtok, historically a challenging area for candidates without deep-rooted connections, was another strategic triumph for Sambro Kerman. His campaign's emphasis on green energy initiatives and education reform attracted a significant portion of Brovtok's environmentally conscious and youth-driven voting base. The Brovtok victory underscores his campaign’s ability to appeal to progressive-minded voters, who were drawn to his vision for sustainable development and innovation.
These victories mark a strong start for Sambro Kerman and set a promising trajectory as the race continues. Political observers are now focused on how this early success might impact the election's momentum and what strategies his opponents may adopt to counter his growing influence in the region.
Syracusan Media Team addresses mistake
Syracusan Media Team addresses mistake
In our recent Syracusan update on Kerbin News, a critical mistake was made, one that has now escalated into a diplomatic incident. Our team—composed of some of the most skilled reporters and writers on Kerbin—strives for accuracy, but we’re all Kermans at the end of the day, and Kermans make mistakes. This slip has unfortunately alerted several nations and sparked a minor conflict between Kerbelia and Syracuse.
The misunderstanding began with the headline "Sambro Enacts No-Fly Zones??" and continued in the article, where we reported: "While some nations call for diplomatic talks to establish universal guidelines for no-fly zones in space, others accuse Syracuse of trying to extend its influence over neutral space territories." The intended phrase was "airspace," not "space," a crucial distinction that was missed in our final editing process.
This error has been flagged by the Kerbelian Media Team, who promptly highlighted the potential impact of such a phrasing blunder. In reality, our intention was to report on aerial, not space, restrictions, which would have clarified that Syracuse's interests lie in airspace rather than unclaimed space territories.
We extend our deepest apologies for this unfortunate error and for the disruptions it has caused during what should be a period of cooperation and peace. We are committed to rigorous fact-checking in the future to prevent such misunderstandings from arising again.

Kerbelia Shuts Down Syracusian Interests
Kerbelia Shuts Down Syracusian Interests
As Syracuse pushes for restriction zones in high altitude regions, even reaching into space to control the passage of satellites with drones, Kerbelia has started to question Syracuse on this matter.
Before we can dive into this, it all started when Syracuse shot down an undefined flying object above their skies, which they claim happened. However, Kerbelia, Ikreland, nor Leeland claim to own this object performing surveillance over Syracuse, and many Kerbelian experts claim that this could be a lie presented by the republic of Syracuse to give them a reason to establish these "No-Fly-Zones" over their country, and even Space! "Evidence doesn't add up," a researcher in Kerbelia said, "As there is no proof of this event occurring, as Syracuse tried to cover it up."
No-Fly-Zones over Syracuse are no problem to the major powers of the world, but what IS a problem is that Syracuse has called for a "No-Orbit-Zone" over all of Syracuse. How would this even work? Orbits can't just stop, turn right, then go on with their day. No! They go along their velocity vector! We've asked Nicholas Kerman, the CEO of Nicholas Space Productions, and he said, "What the heck does Sambro even mean by that? Surely he graduated from university, right?" Along with this, Andrew Kerman, the owner of Kerbal Mechanical Labs, stated "I don't think we're understanding this fully."
Even if the nations were to abide by this "No-Orbit-Zone," how could they? It would take a lot of fuel to change directions each orbit, and would be absurd!
Kerbelia, along with the rest of the western world, have decided to just disregard this claim, as it already violates the treaty of space. I mean, even if you wanted to abide by it, how could you? Surely we're not going to move all of Kerbin's Geostationary Satellites over Syracuse just because they feel unsafe, right? Would they want to go out of communication with the other world?
Another point that Sambro stated was that Satellites that were not Syracusian were coming within Kilometers of crashing into theirs, and there is a simple principle for this: Orbital Decay. Orbital Decay refers to the loss of an orbit of a Satellite overtime due to the pull of gravity, and the drag from Kerbin's exosphere. So yes, things like this happen, and you cannot change it without a re-boost of the satellite.
Many private companies, such as Alpha Aeronautics, Nicholas Space Productions, and Kerbal Mechanical Labs have stated their concerns for Syracuse taking out their Satellites in orbit. They claim that this goes against the Treaty of Space, and may cause issues in the future. To the delight of their concerns, the following has been stated by the I.S.C.
Kerbelia, a representative of the International Space Committee, along with the majority of this committee, has made it clear: Do Not Mess With Peaceful Satellites In Space. Nobody Owns Territory In Space. Not Happening. Ever.
Sambro Enacts No Fly Zones??
Sambro Enacts No Fly Zones??
As regional tensions simmer, the President of Syracuse, Sambro Kerman, has announced a sweeping new policy designed to protect national interests and avoid potential conflicts in space. This unprecedented move designates key orbital and airspace regions as "no-fly zones", effectively barring unauthorized craft from entering restricted zones around Syracuse's strategic sites. The most critical no-fly zones include the northernmost bridge between Syracuse and Kerbellia, a crucial area for monitoring foreign space activity, and the airspace surrounding the Great Sea of Korov, which hosts a significant number of Syracuse’s aerospace and satellite installations.
These areas are known for their strategic importance, both militarily and economically, serving as vital corridors for Syracuse's satellite networks, military surveillance systems, and space assets. President Kerman’s announcement marks an assertive response to recent incursions and near-miss incidents involving foreign spacecraft, some of which appeared to be conducting reconnaissance or testing Syracuse's space defenses. This move is intended to secure the orbital perimeter and prevent accidental clashes that could spiral into larger conflicts.
While Syracuse’s allies have largely voiced support for the decision, agreeing to divert or delay their spacecraft in respect of the new boundaries, several rival nations have openly challenged the legitimacy of the no-fly zones. These countries argue that Syracuse’s unilateral restrictions infringe on freedom of movement in space and set a dangerous precedent for territorial claims beyond Earth. Despite repeated warnings from Syracuse's space command, certain spacecraft continue to maneuver within the restricted areas, often without identifying themselves or responding to communication requests.
As a result, the Syracuse Aerospace Command has escalated its surveillance and interception protocols, deploying unmanned drones and space-based sensors to track and, if necessary, intercept foreign spacecraft that come dangerously close to sensitive zones. This new policy has already led to several close calls between Syracusan patrol vessels and foreign reconnaissance craft, raising the risk of hostile encounters. In one instance, a Syracusan defense satellite nearly collided with an unidentified foreign craft that disregarded the no-fly directives, coming within kilometers of a collision before both altered course at the last moment.
The international community has reacted with a mix of concern and skepticism. While some nations call for diplomatic talks to establish universal guidelines for no-fly zones in space, others accuse Syracuse of trying to extend its influence over neutral space territories. President Kerman, in a recent address, defended the decision, stating, “The safety of Syracusan assets and citizens is non-negotiable. We will take every necessary measure to defend our borders, both on land and in space.”
With diplomatic efforts ongoing but no resolution in sight, analysts warn that the policy could signal a new age of space militarization where boundaries are enforced through might rather than consensus. The world watches closely as Syracuse and its rivals continue this delicate standoff in the contested zones above, hoping that cooler heads prevail before the situation escalates into open conflict.
Back to square one...
Back to square one...
In the early hours of dawn, the skies above Syracuse were disturbed by an unexpected blip on military radar. An unidentified aircraft—bearing no clear markings or transponder signals—had entered Syracusan airspace. Its flight pattern was unusual, erratic, yet resolute, heading directly toward a restricted military zone with no communication or response to hails. The alert was sent out immediately: an unidentified and potentially hostile aircraft had breached their defenses.
The Syracusan Air Defense Command went on high alert. With the unknown craft flying deeper into Syracusan airspace, the SAM (Surface-to-Air Missile) Control Center activated its targeting systems, tracking the intruder as it approached sensitive military installations. Intelligence officers scrambled to analyze the aircraft’s profile, speed, and trajectory, but no known allies or adversaries had claimed responsibility. Alarmingly, sensors detected active armament on the craft—an unmistakable threat.
As it veered closer to a critical weapons testing facility, the situation became untenable. Syracuse’s military command had to make a quick decision: engage or risk potential destruction on the ground. With a final warning sent into the ether, the SAM command center received authorization to launch. In a flash, a surface-to-air missile streaked into the sky, homing in on the intruder.
Moments later, the missile found its target. A fiery explosion lit up the dawn as the unidentified aircraft was destroyed mid-air, scattering debris over a remote area. Ground teams were immediately dispatched to recover the wreckage. To their astonishment, the remains revealed advanced, unidentified technology—weaponry unlike any in current inventories, and markings that didn’t correspond to any known military forces.
Syracuse quickly imposed a media blackout on the incident, though whispers of the shootdown spread rapidly. Intelligence agencies scrambled to analyze the origins and purpose of the aircraft, fearing it was part of a larger foreign intelligence operation or a new military threat testing Syracuse’s defenses.
Meanwhile, international tension escalated, with multiple nations denying any connection to the craft. Some accused Syracuse of overreacting, while others quietly reinforced their own air defenses, wary that the incident could signal a new era of unregulated aerial warfare and covert military incursions.
N.S.P. reveals their new launch vehicle!
N.S.P. reveals their new launch vehicle!
Everyone thought that Astra Sailor was going to be N.S.P.'s last launch vehicle for items, but N.S.P. has just made that statement false!
Today, N.S.P. revealed their new launcher: Titan Sailor. Now, the name sounds similar to Astra Sailor, mainly because this is the second rocket in the Sailor Line! N.S.P. has stated that Astra Sailor will continue to be used, but only for missions within the Kerbin System, such as Minmus refuels, Space Station crew transfer/building, and more. And, this makes sense! Astra Sailor was only meant for transportation of items throughout the Kerbin System, but it ended up being over engineered, which led it to be used in other areas.
Unlike Astra Sailor, Titan Sailor is to be based in the Red Horizon Spaceport in Duna, and even Laythe's Celestial Shores launch complex. This means that it wont be able to launch off of Kerbin, due to it being too costly, but it isn't needed in the Kerbin System since Astra Sailor has it covered. Sadly, more information on this launch vehicle is classified, and only time will tell on its other beauties.

Tragedy in Laklar Airspace... again..
News from Syracuse's Leviathan Flightworks, a B-41 Lithofortress has reached highly experimental hypersonic speeds (Mach 5+). Due to unforeseen speeds, the plane was made of non-heat absorbent materials. The plane soon lost its wings and the back half of the aircraft. Luckily, the plane had already launched its testing Kholot Missiles, so no damage was done via explosives.
The cockpit and the first two fuel containers were intact, and no crew were hurt. The capsule glided itself to a
Gregner Kerman came out to Laklar to express his apologies and speak about the accident. "Hello, my Laklian friends! I am here to represent my nation and this tragic accident. We have accidentally broke your airspace, and crash landed on our Laklar Island - Northern Isle. In no way were we attempting to violate airspace, nor were we trying to make a fuss. I wanted to clear any confusion. We are allies in the end! Thank you."

Sambro Kerman remarked, "Let our allies in our southern ocean be well recognized in our hearts and our Kerbin!" (Clip from Vorzun State Meeting)
Welcome back Sambro.
Welcome back Sambro.
Following a notice from Gregner Kerman, the partakers of the Treaty of Space swiftly got to work establishing connections with Sambro's return vehicle to ensure it made a safe voyage back home. After 8 months of travel through space, N.S.P. and Leviathan both worked together on an optimal return trajectory for Sambro, and this eventually led to Sambro's safe passage through Kerbins atmosphere, and back to his home of Syracuse.
Before Sambro Kerman's speech started, Seedun and Nicholas arrived on Kerforce 1 to partake in the speech, to listen to what president seedun had to say. During the speech, they heard some interesting points regarding his speech, and Nicholas pointed out that it was kind of odd that the main purpose of Sambro's expedition to Moho was to drill resources out of it, which may go against the Treaty of Space. However, in a meeting with Sambro later that day, he stated that Syracuse was simply purchasing the oil from the Moho colony, which is perfectly fine according to the Treaty of Space. Still, is it moral? Another interesting thing Seedun pointed out how Sambro was able to maintain leadership of his country all the way out at Moho, but dislikes his remarks on Leeland, which were pretty rude.
One interesting item shown in this speech was the F/A-55. The Kerbelians didn't expect Syracuse to roll this model of their fighter jets out yet, but it seems as if they are ahead of schedule. N.S.P. engineers have asked for more information on this jet to simply see what it is, along with how it was engineered.
However, other than that, the speech was, in fact, a speech. Hopefully this cooperation can lead to a better future for both of the two nations, and maybe space exploration.
President Sambro Returns from Moho!
President Sambro Returns from Moho!
The Arrival of President Sambro: A Hero's Return
Yesterday marked a monumental day in the Republic of Syracuse. As the returning rocket from Moho splashed down into the calm, shimmering waters of the Klashnik Sea, the entire nation held its breath. Aboard the craft was none other than President Sambro himself, returning from an historic journey to the remote, scorched surface of Moho. Soon after the capsule was safely retrieved by the SNN Sambro, a mighty aircraft carrier of Syracuse's National Navy, the people of Syracuse prepared for his address at the Slyvia Airbase.
The Speech of President Sambro
Four hours after his return, President Sambro stood before the assembled crowd, his figure radiating a blend of resilience, authority, and patriotism. He looked out over the crowd, composed of citizens, scientists, military personnel, and journalists. The air was thick with anticipation. His speech, divided into three parts, covered crucial updates: News from Moho, the situation on Kerbin, and Syracuse's position in current geopolitics. With a strong yet sincere voice, he began:
News from Moho
“Welcome, friends, and my fellow Kerbals of Syracuse!” he began with a warm tone, extending his arms to the crowd. “I am back from our base and research facility on Moho, and I come bearing news from that far-off world!”
The President paused briefly, allowing the weight of his next words to settle. “First, let me extend my deepest gratitude to Gregner for steering Syracuse with a steady hand in my absence. But to the heart of the matter: Moho! Our efforts there have been nothing short of astonishing. Our crew has worked tirelessly, extracting resources from the deepest and most treacherous wells on Moho’s surface. Gallons upon gallons of oil have been secured without a single incident thus far.” A cheer erupted from the crowd, celebrating the successful mission and the safe return of their president.
President Sambro then adopted a more solemn tone. “Yet, the isolation and extreme environment take a toll. Many of our brave Syracusans have been away from home for seven long months. The gravity of their sacrifice weighs heavily on me. Long-term exposure can lead to serious health issues, both physical and psychological. Therefore, I am authorizing a mission to rotate the Moho crew in three months' time, to bring our dedicated explorers home and send fresh hands to continue our vital work.”
News from Kerbin
Shifting focus, President Sambro addressed the developments on Kerbin. “Back on our home planet, under Gregner's guidance, we’ve bolstered our military capabilities. As Syracuse shifts into a more defense-oriented mindset—a ‘career mode,’ if you will—our engineers and scientists have been hard at work developing new technologies.”
He beamed with pride as he gestured to a nearby display screen showing the sleek silhouette of an aircraft. “Today, I’m thrilled to introduce the F-55 Strike Fighter, designed and built by none other than our very own Leviathan Flightworks. This fighter is truly a marvel of engineering—capable of reaching speeds of Mach 3, equipped with 14 air-to-air missiles, and adaptable for both air-to-air and air-to-ground combat roles.” Applause and murmurs of admiration rippled through the audience, impressed by this remarkable new addition to Syracuse’s military arsenal.
Current Geopolitics
Finally, President Sambro approached the delicate topic of Syracuse’s stance on international relations and geopolitics. “Now, onto the matter of Leeland.” His voice took on a steely edge, a reminder of the serious tone the subject demanded. “For too long, Leeland was a name whispered in rumors and brushed aside as myth. But here we stand in peacetime, and we’ve found a way to address this matter diplomatically, without the shadow of ICBMs darkening our skies.”
President Sambro's eyes were fierce as he continued, “However, the discovery of new, resource-rich lands compels us to act swiftly. We have begun to tap into Leeland’s natural resources, chiefly oil, to strengthen Syracuse’s position. I know my stance on this matter is clear: our interests will be protected at all costs. To those who might seek to disrupt our operations, be warned—you will be met with an uncompromising response. This land, and its resources, are Syracuse’s to defend.”
He took a steadying breath before finishing. “Let it be known that, while I fully expect our adversaries across the seas to try and twist my words into propaganda, I stand firm in my convictions. In fact, I know the leader of NSP, our steadfast ally, shares my stance.”
"And Finally, our newest flag. Our friends overseas have criticized our current flag, resembling it to a current flag on a faraway planet named Earth. This new flag shows our vanity, our perseverence, and our dreaded Orange War!" The crowd erupted into a loud roar of cheers and whistles. Sambro Waved the new flag and walked off the stage, and greeted those who wished to see him.

Seedun introduces new tax cuts to Kerbelian businesses?
Seedun introduces new tax cuts to Kerbelian businesses?
Recently, Nicholas Space Production's recent tax returns has shown that they have had considerable tax cuts, up to 30 percent off! Many think that this is unfair, however, others think it is justified. Why cant Kerbal Mechanical Labs get this treatment, and others too?
Seedun Kerman, the current president of the United States of Kerbelia, stated that,
"Nicholas Space Productions has been the backbone of space travel ever since we started looking into it. It is what is propelling the Kerbal race into space, and it is only fair that they get a tax cut. However, this doesn't mean that others can't get this too. We have, along with N.S.P., created a system for Grants to fund private Space Programs. This includes other space programs, such as international ones. However, they must be in good standing with N.S.P., and cooperate with the Treaty of Space and ally themselves to Kerbelia in time of space crisis." After this, he stated that, "By filling out our new tax cut forum TC-2XX, you may be able to receive a tax cut up to 30 percent. This is to promote business in Kerbelia, and the future of our country and space."
Seedun Kerman truly does want what is best for his nation, but many people seem to be complaining over this. The question is, will this set the standard for the future of Kerbelian businesses? Always getting the fair treatment?
During another press conference, we asked this, and Seedun stated, "No, no. We extend this tax cut to all companies in Kerbelia, and they can apply for the grant, too. Remember though, we are not handing out free money, and this grant comes with a cost. That of which is complying with Kerbelian standards and regulations, along with laws.
After about a month of these tax cuts going into place, the Kerbelian Economy has seemed to trend upwards, along with the Stokerbalian Market. Perhaps this was a good idea by the president? Or will it just crash as soon as it happened?

Syracuse declares trade in the Leeland Gulf!
President Sambro Kerman has declared a new trade route to Leeland, via the Merdian Sea. The sea will be defended by the 2nd Carrier Strike Group, which includes 3 SNN SCUD Submarines, 1 aircraft carrier, and 2 Almen Bevk Class Frigates.
The Trade route will be shown via map on a later update, until then we can still describe it via words.
The ships will travel from the Kunmea Straight, to the Gregner Coast, and into the Leeland Gulf.
MESSAGE FROM ADMIRAL GREGNER: "To all ships, do not be frightened or threatened if you are to be intercepted by a Submarine, Helicopter, ship, or Jet. We are controlling this route to prevent any hostilities. And, to any war vessels, you will be intercepted until you reach your destination safely. ALL WEAPONS MUST BE DEACTIVATED during this escort. Thank You." -Gregner Kerman addresses at Vorzun.
Sambro Kerman remarks, "Do not see this as any form of aggression, we have just ended a conflict, we do not need further escalation. We are preventing all aggression by military force. I believe it was the famous President Raegan who declared, 'Peace through Strength.'" -Sambro Kerman speech in Slyvia, Syracuse.

The XB-02 was fitted with a targeting Pod to capture images such as the Operation Kraken HeadQuarters on the Syracusan Southern coast.
So far, a public 14 XB-02 have been produced and are in service in the Syracusan "RFTS" (Ready For Total Strike) in Operation Chrone Doune (dough-nuh) this means, 14 XB-02s will constantly be patrolling Syracusan Air space AND Cramonian airspace. For now, Gregner has publicly claimed they will not be flying in the Leeland region due to the recent treaty of Leeland. "We do not need more escalation over such a peaceful time." -Gregner Kerman

Duna Is No Longer A Dune.
Duna Is No Longer A Dune.
We thought that Eve Terraformation was difficult enough, but N.S.P. and Kerbal Mechanical Labs, who are private companies, managed to pull off terraforming yet another planet!
As stated in the Treaty of Space, Duna is the last planet to be terraformed in the Kerbal System. Does this mean that Kerbals are finally getting close to the status of being a type 2 civilization? This means being able to control all of the energy output of your star system, and it seems as if we are not far off! If we are able to manipulate planets into being livable, surely we can control our star system.
After the planet was terraformed, N.S.P. and Kerbal Mechanical Labs received the contracts pay, of 20 million credits. This was split down the middle due to them both participating equally, so who knows. Perhaps they can go even further?
This is truly an interesting time in Kerbal history, as we are finally making progress for the common good.

The signing of the Treaty of Space.
Thought to be impossible, President Seedun was able to convince the entire world of the benefits of the Treaty of Space, and this eventually got it to be signed.
After 2 long years, the treaty was officially put into effect, and this means that the future of space is sealed: there will be no interplanetary wars, no militaristic interests in space, nor exploitation of resources in space for industrial reasons.
When this was signed by every world power, the populous who live among the stars let out a sigh of relief, knowing that they would finally be able to live peacefully without geo-political issues arising to threaten their freedom, or possibly life.
Thus, the communities of the stars have started to open their colonies to all nations of Kerbin so that they can get the freedom that everyone deserves.

Today, all world leaders have signed the treaty of Leeland, to end the violence in the Republic of Leeland. They have all agreed to recognize Leeland's independence, along with creating an international organization, known as Vorzaun. Vorzaun will have territory in the South Pole, and will act as an international region. It will be protected by all nations, and it will in turn protect all nations.
The world lets out a sigh of relief, as the major conflicts are finally resolved.

Popular Leeland Freedom Activist Don Kerman shot dead in Syracuse occupied Leeland...
Don Kerman, an activist for Freedom in the Republic of Leeland has been shot by Syracusian national guard members as he was going around Leeland on his tour to spread the word of Freedom for the nation. The guard in question is unknown, but it was captured on video during his speech. Don Kerman's last words were,
"For a brighter future, for longevity, we shall-" and then he was shot in the head. Perhaps because he was about to say something to stir up people?
Who knows, but today is a tragic day for Leeland, and all freedom activists, as he was not even able to finish his final sentence of his life.
The United States of Kerbelia has offered to burry him at their National Cemetery of Honor, just beyond Munsy Airbase, and along with Ikreland, to devote a national holiday to this tragic event. Furthermore, many Leelanders living under oppression are furious. They have decided to mark his death city, that being Kunmean, as their national capital once they get independence. Who knows what may happen next.
Syracuse and Cramonia are yet to respond to this, sadly.

Bop got Bopped?
Bop got Bopped?
As N.S.P. was tracking an unknown satellite enter the Jool system, It saw it was headed toward the captured asteroid of Bop. Everyone was honestly very confused by this, because what would a large satellite be doing headed to bop?
They later did some electromagnetic tests on the composition of the rocket, and they found out the tip of it was coated in Uranium. They then knew that something very funny was about to happen to Bop. As N.S.P. satellites around the Jool system tracked the satellite headed towards Bop. they saw a brilliant flash of light, and radiation levels had increased. In fact, the electromagnetic pulse traveled down one of Jool's magnetic field lines and caused an aroura on Jool's equator, which is very rare.
Now many have a theory as to what caused Bop to get nuked, but many think that the Syracusians crashed into a mountain range while orbiting above it. This can be backed up by seismic data from a few years back, and Syracuse is well known for taking their anger out on things like this.
Well, data shows that Bop's orbit didn't change much at all, but fragments from the explosion have left a crater on Bop, and debris is orbiting it in a ring-like plane.
Poor Bop...

We asked Nicholas Kerman how he was able to do this. He said, "Well, it all started when we manufactured the orbital complex on Eve. That was already very difficult, however, we were then able to create terraforming rigs through the base and we spread them all over Eve with the cargo helicopter that the Syracusians supplied us. After we dropped them off, they got to work, and two years later, they terraformed Eve. We had roughly 10 million of those units at work, so it was not an easy task. The machines mainly converted the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into Oxygen and Carbon. The carbon was put into the soil, and oxygen was put into the atmosphere. After levels for oxygen were high enough, we put plants in, and the rest followed."
That seems very over our head, but thank you for the interview Nicholas kerman.

A colony on Eve!
A colony on Eve!
Well, it seems as if N.S.P. has just one upped themselves on their feats, because they just established a colony on what was thought to be the most hostile planet in our Kerbolar System!
We interviewed Nicholas Kerman, the owner of N.S.P., and he said "We strive to reach higher and higher goals, and today we have certainly acomplished this. However, we are still monitoring the situation at hand, so don't make conclusions to quickly." This is a very reasonable response to the situation at hand, because we never know how things will change.

Impossible made Possible: First Crewed Eve Mission!
Impossible made Possible: First Crewed Eve Mission!
It turns out that the KA-EA-2 rocket, known as the Astra Evadia 2, was actually a lander, and not a space station module! Why in the world would N.S.P. decide an Eve landing would work first try?
Against all odds
According to N.S.P., they felt as if it was possible to land and return from Eve, even though their previous probe was crushed a while after it landed on Eve! They had two good past reasons to land on Eve:
They defeated the issues regarding Tekto's Atmosphere
They have better technology now
N.S.P. even went as far as to request a grant for colonization of Eve from president Seedun himself, but he thought it was an insane idea!
However, N.S.P. fought through the backlash from Seedun Kerman, and decided to fund the mission out of their own pocket, hopping to prove the Kerbelian Government wrong.
Success
After all of this, N.S.P. pulled off a nearly-flawless mission to Eve! The only issue, of course, was the lack of a communication network around Eve. So, to fix this, N.S.P. had to pack more fuel to burn during times of communication, which did result in less efficient burns. However, they still did it.
When we interviewed Magwell, one of the Astronauts who walked on Eve, he said, "It certainly was an incredible sight. And, it felt like you were being given a big hug by the thick atmosphere on Eve! I've been given a long vacation after this, but I'm honestly wanting to explore it more.
As with the Kerbelian spirit, or more or less the Kerbalian Race, we don't give up, and we always want to investigate deeper.

N.S.P. launches an KA-EA-2 today!
We thought that N.S.P. was finished with thier travels to Eve, but it seems not anymore!
They've launched a massive rocket that will head towards Eve, possibly to set up a space station, but we don't really know since it's classified! It surely isnt a lander, because they ruled that out years ago... Right? Isn't the surface of Eve to deadly to allow for a manned mission? We think so! So perhaps it is a space station. After all, N.S.P. had worked on one around Eve a while back.

The rise of Laklar - the age of gold!
The rise of Laklar - the age of gold!
The Laklar regional islands have gained independence from Syracuse - the now recognized story being Sambro Kerman of Syracuse offered the now leader of Laklar a deal. His islands would gain independence and be free to do whatever. The cost being, it would be Syracuse's ally indefinitely.
Sambro speaks about this on the official Syracuse website.
Tekto had and has life!
Tekto had and has life!
After Kerbelia Declassified information regarding Tekto this morning, the world learned that we are not the only living thing in our universe. Well, sort of...
The documents regarding Tekto's "life" come from a mission known as "Operation Chlorophyll." Infact, the exact mission is mission 4: Submerged. The mission goes into detail about the discoveries made regarding Tekto's oceans, and it is officially confirmed that the oceans are made up of mainly Nitrogen and Methane, but the deeper parts of the ocean contain more carbon and hydrogen, which form Ethane. Now, how did Carbon atoms end up on a planet so darn cold and far away? Well, the carbon atoms actually come from pre-existing life, and their fossils were found under the ocean!
Now, that's cool and all, but what does it mean by life exists now?
Well, the reason for all of the methane populating the oceans is due to Methanogenic Bacteria living in regions of the ocean. Now, are these bacteria dangerous to Kerbals? No, they are not. Reason being, is while they cause cancer to other organisms, Kerbals are not affected by cancer. This is because they dont have DNA like other organisms, but instead they have KNA, which is unable to be affected by any outside changes.
So, today has truly been an interesting day for Kerbal kind, because Tekto is officially found to have mico-organisms producing Methane on the planet! Remember, though, dont take your space suit off, because the atmosphere as been found to not be breathable for Kerbals!
N.S.P. Mission Status: Tekto had life?
N.S.P. Mission Status: Tekto had life?
According to N.S.P., Tekto has oceans of that resemble traces of fossil fuels. Could this mean Tekto had life that once thrived on its surface, then died? We talked to the people behind the mission, and what they thought about it.
Nicholas Kerman, the mastermind behind all of this stated, "It could have very well been that Tekto had life on it's surface, just as Laythe does. This could explain the color tint of the atmosphere, and perhaps chlorophyll still remains floating around in the chaotic atmosphere. The readings of our probe say that wind speeds are upward of 25 miles per hour at a time, so this could very well be the case. Furthermore, we don't know what is in the oceans, and perhaps there is something there that could explain this mystery to us all. Perhaps Methagenic Bacteria exist in the oceans, and they create this methane. The ocean floors have been seen to have Sulfur, so it's not too crazy of an idea."
So, Nicholas Kerman's theory of life on Tekto is very interesting, but we don't have enough data to know for sure. We do know, however, that the atmosphere of Tekto is quite harsh, so sending Kerbals to investigate could be a risky mission for the future. Regardless, this is an evolving story, and every second of data could change everything.
Syracusan Satellite starts failing!
Syracusan Satellite starts failing!
Due to the dangerous radiation from Jool's magnetic field, Syracuses' orbital satellite is starting to malfunction. It seems as if they did not account for the radiation present around Jool, due to them not having the information regarding it's magnetic field. Fixes were proposed by the Syracusians, and they even came to N.S.P. to ask for a solution, but sadly, sending a crew up to coat it in protective coating wouldn't work due to the fact that the coating would only block satellite signals. So, it seems as if they only have two options: Request to use N.S.P. Comsat Satellites, or launch another one.
Syracuse went... Interplanetary?
Syracuse went... Interplanetary?
Yeah, it's a shock. Who would have thought they were working on something other than nukes or missiles?
Nicholas Kerman, who owns the N.S.P. Corporation, spoke out about the satellite. "Well, I guess Gregner actually listened to me when I said that war isn't the answer after all. Actually, we're still trying to figure out how they managed to get to Laythe. But, that isn't the true matter at hand. Congratulations Syracuse, and Leviathan Flightworks!"
Oddly enough, Nicholas Kerman congratulated Syracuse in their progress of space travel, so does this mean that the two will work together in the future for space travel? Or will the war in Leeland prevent this? Who knows, but until then, we shall see how this unravels.
Furthermore, Nicholas Kerman stated that, "Space isn't a place where geo-politics fight, nor is it a place where war occurs. Be wary. Space is a place for freedom, exploration, and a possible future home for all the Kerbal Race. So don't ruin it for all of us by being selfish over your territory or economic interests."

"Here's your frequency." - Sambro Kerman
"Here's your frequency." - Sambro Kerman
Syracuse has claimed to be the origin of the frequency detected by Kerbelians on Laythe. Syracuse has a satellite orbiting the moon, which sends a frequency to Syracuse and the Laythe Colony. This is a huge advance from when Syracuse was struggling in basic space travel.

Kerbelia detects an unknown frequency on Laythe - from something in orbit!
Kerbelia detects an unknown frequency on Laythe - from something in orbit!
The scientists/astronauts stationed on the Jool moon Laythe detected a frequency coming from an unknown source - seeming to orbit the moon! As far as Kerbelia and NSPC know, only Kerbelia has reached Laythe. Is this a foreshadowing of a new challenge for Kerbelia?
Negotiations of adding onto the pre-existing Treaty of Space
The United States of Kerbelia has formulated a new draft to the already existing treaty of space which included the prohibition of militaristic items in space. However, the new treaty expands regarding the colonization of space. To dive into the treaty deeper, read it on the official Kerbelian Website. Treaty of Space
A Genuine Study into the methodologies of Kerbin's "lead" governments.
As of lately, the world has been calming down, but to everyone's expectation, Syracuse has decided yet again it wants more land, and that land is Leeland. However, is this a justified expansion, or are they just as bad as Kitler Kerman who did the same back in 1945?
The motives
Our lead news reporter, Sachmen Kerman has reached out to the two heads of government of Syracuse and Kerbelia. Syracuse and Kerbelia responded, fortunately.
Kerbelia's president, Seedun Kerman said that, "We just want to establish peace in this world. It is very sad that the greed of one man, Sambro, wont allow it to happen. However, we are working on establishing that peace, unlike the TERRIBLE former president Bob Kerman." | "Truley an interesting end to a quote", Sachman stated.
However, Syracusian Commander in Chief, Sambro, stated that, "This here is our rightful territory! We just own everything that has our people, rather it be a lot of people, or a small portion of a population of people! We will not allow Kerbelia to hold these people hostage, for we are freeing them with protection!" Sachman replied to this statement saying, "I'm sure they are fine by themselves, but atleast you didn't talk bad about a former president..."
So, who's right here?
Our non-bias reporter, Sachman Kerman stated that, "These two countries need to stop fighting and just co-exist. They also need to learn not to nudge eachother into conflict, rather it be colonization, boasting, or just showing off their dang technology! Man... What happened to the era of peace. I'm so fed up with this im just about thinking of moving to Laythe!" Well.... that was certainly a relatable quote. How about, instead of aggression, we just work together to expand our populous into space. I mean, that's litterally the only non-disputed area of our reality. Heck, even something as simple as water is disputed. To the leaders of our two countries, we need y'all to find common ground together, because this is certainly out of control. President Seedun of Kerbelia and Commander in Cheif of Syracuse, please, just come to an agreement and stop fighting.

President Seedun Addresses the Nation
Today, President Seedun Kerman addressed the nation regarding forien and domestic issues.
The first topic he covered was the booming economy, and that it has had an astounding growth of 50 percent within 1 year of his presidency.
The second topic he covered was domestic violence, and that there are record lows in crime throughout Kerbelia.
The third topic he covered was over the Peace Act, and how it has been affective in protecting Kerbelians and their future.
The Fourth topic he went over was that the leader of the Red Revolution had been killed, and that he was hiding in the Arctic Circle. He died to an orbital strike led by the Kerbelian National Military.
The Fifth Topic he announced was that N.S.P. Corp was to get government funding for missions further out in the solar system. Who knows where they will be going...
Finally, he addressed the ongoing issue inside of the Republic of Leeland. He stated that "Syracuse is just wasting their time there, and also wasting their money." Furthermore, he called Sambro Kerman a "terroristic idiot" for being one of the main causes of the Red Revolution, along with being at the forefront of terrorizing Leeland.
As his final statements closed, so did the National Address. Tune in till next time to see what goes on Kerbin Wide.

Syracuse releases new recognized territories! Controversy from Kerbellia and Ikreland?
Syracuse has been conquering the controversial land of "Leeland" for 9 months now, and have made progress to be astonished for generations. With only 6 battalions and a legion from Cramonia, Gregner has led his men to take over half of the continent.
Kerbellia hates the idea of Syracuse taking the land because they recognize the "Republic of Leeland" as a standing nation. The Syracusan response was, "They do not have a government, subsequently, they are not a nation. It is open free land."

Both of the nation's military weaponry are largely based off of these Debated Nations arsenal.
These Flags mean various things -
Syracuse's base model flag is from the nation "Russia" a global superpower of "Universe 1" from "Earth" which a large portion of the population and weaponry can be traced to. The Coat of arms, being a shield with a Black star and Hammer and sickle - Represents the unity after the Orange war (Black Republic Star), and the Hammer and Sickle remembering the everlasting "Red Revolution"
Cramonia's base model flag is from the Puppet state "Belarus" a controlled smaller doorstep to "Russia" The coat of arms being the Same as Syracuse - The Black Republic Star surrounded by a shield - without the Hammer and Sickle.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, I the United States of Kerbelia was not expecting a full out attack on the world's major nations. But, we pushed through it, and we have won. The lands and economic zones that were impacted are being reconstructed as we speak, but that does not make up the millions of kerbelian deaths. When we let a leader like Bob Kerman lead our nation, he allows these revolutionaries to form throughout the nation. They even had nuclear weapons! They nuked the Straight of Kermani! Under my watch, we will NEVER allow this to happen again. We are introducing extensive checks of imported goods to insure we do not get unexpectedly attacked. Furthermore, we will impose tariffs to make importing less desirable. To those who lost all, we are here for you. We are opening public works programs to get you back on your feet. A new national holiday will be instated on November 14th, and this is for those who we have lost during this war. ( Moment of silence. ) Thank you."

Republic of Leeland - Now the largest country, Leeland was formed to block Syracusian colonizational intrests in the area. However, they share a mixed ethnicity with Kerbelians and Syracusians.
First Cramonian Reich - This nation was formed with one purpose: to be a satellite to the Syracusians for control of the North. However, this nation seems to want full independence.
The Kerbelian Presedent, Bob Kerman, has responded to this with his words of, "This is certainly a new era for Kerbal Kind. We shall respond as needed."
