Olympic Crackdown

As the Olympics begin in imperial space the emperor's secret police are cracking down on dissident Keldon movements who might wish to use the spotlight of the event to gain exposure to the plight of two-thirds of the Keldon race. A promising young sonic-ring catcher named Meslet Carmfi'e'ler from Quator disappeared from the Olympic village this week after he announced that he would participate in his event wearing not the traditional imperial Red and Black uniform donned by Imperial atheletes, but instead would be wearing the two-toned blue colors associated with the Free Keldana movement. Sonic-Ring pundits agree that Carmfi'e'ler was a dark horse to win the gold medal in the event.

Union atheletes are being kept quarentined in their section of the Olympic village when not participating in athletic events for their "protection." We are sure they are not being kept separated from the local populaces because the imperial subjects might be exposed to a new-free idea or two.

The emperor is so terrified of his own subjects that he keeps them in the dark even during this event that promotes peace and the exchange of ideas and cultures. We hope that Union officials do not let the good feeling of these games go to their heads and keep a clear eye to the threat the empire poses, to the Union and to two-thirds of the Keldon species under Imperial control.
