Two days ago, Starfleet Command through the Federation Bureau of State issued a travel warning for Sector 500, specially the transit lanes around Antica space as unrest on the Federation member world grows.

In the past month, a separatist movement calling itself the Ashen Hand has taken responsibility for a number of fire bombing incidents on Antican worlds and today, a rash of fire bombings around the UFP offices on Selay. The Selay and Anticans have a long history of warfare between the species, only finding peace twenty five years ago when both were admitted to Federation membership.

While tense and often at odds on the floor of the Senate, the Anticans and Selay have avoided open conflict apparently until now. Officials on both sides are condemning the action, with the Selay insisting that the Antican government take steps to deal with the Ashen Hand.

Little is known about the Ashen hand, but speculation is that they are a loosely organized group of hard line dissidents who are acting out. This recent move to put agents on the Selay home world is new and concerning, according to Selay constabulary and sources within the Selay government are taking steps to deal with the threat.
