Since trade dispute and import/export embargo seems to be on the headlines alot… here is some fact of the day:

Today in Cosmic Era – C.E.70 February 5th

The escalated tension and skirmish through the CE60s eventually led to the Sponsor Nations (the countries who funded the construction of PLANT colonies) to limit and stop food export to PLANT. And PLANT in turn stopped all energy and industrial product export to Sponsor Nations. The conflict led to economic chaos and poverty in the sponsor nations - finally the United Nations intervened, and got the two sides to agree to a negotiation meeting that will take place in CE70 February 5th.

However, an unknown culprit detonated a bomb in UN building in Luna city Copernicus and killed the delegation of every national representative and UN leadership - Except for Siegel Clyne, because his shuttle was delayed due to technical issues.
