Omni-Pol Raids Slums in Omni-1 – Gun Fight Ensures
January 16, 29481 - [Global]
IRRK - At 20:33 RST today, several Omni-Pol Sweeper teams raided several locations within Omni-1 Entertainment. Our sources claim that Ivan Sergevich, Director of Omni-Pol, was involved directly in this action, but this has yet to be confirmed.
The purpose of these raids would appear to be an effort to confiscate drugs and illegal weaponry. However, Omni-Pol met fierce resistance from the criminals, leading this reporter to suspect that something else is going on. At least 9 criminals were killed, and several more wounded. Omni-Pol suffered a single lightly wounded soldier. A few witnesses claim to have seen several people, dressed in full red armour, in and around the slums, but these were quickly gunned down, as they opened fire without hesitation.
The fact that Omni-Pol only had one slightly wounded soldier could be due to the fact that Omni-Pol used heavily armed sweeper teams, and not regular Omni-Pol soldiers. The red-armoured criminals, may have been affiliated with the Red Freedom faction, a rogue clan, bent on senseless destruction and killing of innocents.. Or so the rumours say. What was the true purpose for these raids? What was the hidden agenda?
IRRK will follow up on this issue as it develops.
