As part of the ongoing buildup of forces in the region of Cloud Ring, Goonswarm has anchored a Keepstar in 6RCQ-V, on the border of Fade. If the citadel successfully onlines, this will mark a significant upgrade in defensive fortifications along the border between The Initiative. (INIT) and Northern Coalition. (NCdot) pets Circle-of-Two (CO2) and Guardians of the Galaxy (GotG). It will also put supercapital staging capabilities within striking range of  CO2 and GotG space. The move by the Imperium is only the latest in a series of escalating tensions along the border of their former home regions, and marks the 27th Keepstar the Imperium has deployed.

INN will continue covering developments as they occur.
