SS vs. TRG?

Vet Game: Sunday, the Sneezy Syndicate attacked a Royal Guard planet in sector 2236. In the middle of the attack, SS had the feeling they were being watched. "I scanned the sector and guessed a cloaked ship was in the area, so GirDraxon and I dropped some mines and scouts and left [to UNO and CA] to restock before the next assault," Speef told this reporter. "It was Barclay piloting a Thief. We dispatched with him easily." After a lengthy assault, TRG member Milk_Man appeared. GirDraxon was away restocking while Speef attacked. "After the second attack, Gir returned and we finished [him] off. After that," Speef said, "it was nothing to take out the defenses and the traders on the planet."

This was not war, the Sneezy Syndicate assured, but a planned retaliation for an incident in "Sneezy Space." Speef: "We had found one of Pharaoh's scouts and Pharaoh [TRG] himself online, 'actively' hunting our traders...After we took him out...we began planning our strike against TRG." As of this post, TRG was unavailable for Comment. Sneezy Space is defined in a 15x14 sector space spanning 1272 (NW corner) to 1886 (SE corner) all inclusive. "Any force within our space will be 'removed,' and any hunting of our traders will be an Act of War," SS doctrine. In a related story, trader Hair Bear [SS] is expected to make a full recovery from the Sneezy Syndicate Mental Institution on Sneezy Prime. He was admitted to the Institution after the Pharaoh incident. "The screams in my head have subsided, now that Speef and Co. have shut TRG up," Hair Bear reportedly said to doctors yesterday.
