Securing the Stars
In a move that breaks several inter-stellar precedents and treaties, the 4th Fleet of the Helios Assembly has been spotted assembling what appears to be a new shipyard on the edge of the Proxima Star System. Helian crafts have been imaged transporting cargo hauls of building materials and construction craft to and from a nearby FTL point, where the Helians appear to also be building a large mining station on a nearby asteroid.
Despite continued questioning from reporters, Helian Military Command has refused to comment on the discovery and appears to have suspended military press briefings indefinitely. What is the purpose of this base and the nearby mining operations could be, is unknown.
