-Special News Update-
After weeks of intense media and communications black-outs, the first images of the military response to the Dayton-Aomori attacks are filtering through.
Large numbers of Federation ground troops have been mobilising all week long for unknown destinations. All military and security installations are on a high state of alert and city administrators throughout the Federation have been instructed to initiate "emergency procedure" training for all citizens.
The Federation Council has repeated its call to Dayton-Aomori to lay down its arms immediately and release control of all its administered systems. If the Corporation fails to do so, the Council has declared its intention to "return all rogue systems to Federation control by any means necessary in order to safeguard peace and stability of the Federation."
INN sources indicate Dayton-Aomori and other black listed worlds have united in a coalition designed to defend their commercial interests. No confirmation has been forthcoming from the Council concerning the accuracy of this information, however, the wording of their statement hints that this may very well be the case.
**************************************************
There is still no information from within Dayton-Aomori controlled territory on the well being of our reporter David Crinn. David went missing after his last report four days ago, within which he stated D-A forces were ready to take on whatever the Federation threw at them. While every effort goes in to finding David, our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Django
Waayyyyyyyyyyy cooooooooooool

Holy crap, man. This is serious sci-fi. Amazing job on everything. You guys need some of George Lucas' funding!! And, like SeanE, I see some real Starship Troopers here, but it reminds me more of the CGI television show, "Roughnecks" that they put out a few years ago - some intensely cool animation there. Keep up the fantastic work.
dandavis
Whoa, you guys are doing some serious work here. Your colaboration has yielded some amazing work. I agree with stevey. If your not in the industry, you should be. :-)

One word about this..............WOW!Excellent work!This is very high production here.I hate to say Hollywood style but this is very professional looking indeed!The only thing and I will repeat the only thing that may be changed or improved upon is radiosity.The lighting seems a little too CG but that is only a slight mis-giving as the whole image is very well done!Outstanding work gentlemen!

Wake Up!! Its a trap! Mobilizing is exactly what the D-A forces want you to do, leaving the federation home worlds vulnerable to massive invasion! Incredible picture guys! If I were to change anything, it would be the scale of the craft, seems a little large, I think the troops should have to duck slightly to get in. And the sky looks a little brycie, but other than that,its a beautiful Masterpiece!!!! 5 stars!! Bravo!! More!!
