Support for the War Strong Among Australians
Chuck Harrison - Australian News Network
March 12, 2157
Surveys taken by ANN in recent weeks have shown strong support for war against Romulus across the nation, with over 65% of the population saying they agree with the decision to go to war. This comes despite the vocal protests of prominent anti-war activists such as Sarah Benson, a former aide to the Australian government liaison to the planetary government, who has taken on the role of leading the anti-war charge.

Lieutenant Commander Mi-Young Kim - Starfleet News Feed
March 9, 2157
This morning, at just past 7:00AM Starfleet Interstellar Time, two of Earth’s NX-class starships, Enterprise and Columbia, departed Earth amid a much-publicized relaunch ceremony at the Starfleet shipyards orbiting Earth. Both ships had recently undergone refits, repairs, and major alterations to their crews.
| ENN Exclusive: Interview with anti-war activist Sarah Benson

February 23, 2157
Almost as soon as rumors of a war with the Romulans began, a strong anti-war movement rose to challenge the idea. When Prime Minister Samuels officially declared war, the movement blossomed into a major force throughout human culture, with protests taking root in cities across Earth and on far-flung human colonies. From the beginning, Sarah Benson has been at the head of the charge against war, and her name and face are now recognized across the Coalition of Planets.
| Famed Andorian Soldier Attacked
James Harfield - Earth News Network
February 15, 2157
The sound of particle weapon discharges ripped through the streets of San Francisco last night as a group of masked gunmen, armed with civilian-issue EM-33 pistols, opened fire on Commander Shran, a well-known member of the Andorian Imperial Guard, as he was leaving a conference with other Coalition military leaders. Shran and his aides were also armed, and a firefight ensued.

At 11:00 AM local time this morning, Prime Minister Nathan Samuels addressed Earth’s House of Parliament in Berlin, European Alliance, in which he outlined a radical overhaul of Earth’s defense policies. A press release given to the media two days ago had indicated that he would make a speech at this time, though it appears the rumors of taking a hardened approach to defense may have been understated.
| Denobula Attacked

February 2, 2157
Late last night, at approximately 25:30 hours local time, a series of explosions ripped through the Denobulan capitol city, Dwassan. At this time the Denobulan Internal Security Ministry has not issued a statement of findings on the explosions, but according to sources inside the DSA, the explosions were powered by powerful dicobalt explosives. The explosions, which appear to have been pre-placed bombs, were detonated in locations throughout the city, including the Denobulan Exterior Security Ministry (DESM) and the popular Kaybin nightclub district, which was filled with an estimated 90,000 revelers at the time of the attack.
| Tensions Rise Across CoP
Akuba Mansa - Earth News Network
January 23, 2157
Over the past few weeks, Coalition governments have stopped releasing new information about the war with Romulus. While some defense analysts have speculated that this is because there is no new information to release, this has done little to lessen people's apprehension. In fact, the lack of information has spurred unrest among CoP worlds, with fears that information is being deliberately withheld, or that the Romulans are preparing for another attack.
| Editorial: Why must Earth fight?
Chuck Harrison - Australian News Network
January 4, 2157
After nearly a century of relative peace on Earth and our solar system, the question of why Earth is fighting the Romulans has been raised by citizens throughout the planet and her colonies since Prime Minister Samuels declared war on December 21 last year.
| Proxima Colonists Pick up the Pieces
Yusef Al-Fayed - Editor-in-chief, Proxima City Sun
1 January, 2157
We apologize to our readers for our lack of activity over the past few days. Several of our staff were wounded or killed in the Romulan attack. There was talk of shutting down the Sun completely, but we have decided that, as Proxima Colony's only surviving news service, it was our duty to keep the people informed.
| Romulans Attack Earth's Proxima Colony
Shlokt - Tellarite Information Service
29 December, 2156
The Coalition Council has released a report confirming the rumors first heard yesterday of an attack on one of Earth's colonies. The report states that at approximately 11:15 AM Proxima City time, several Romulan warships decloaked in low orbit over the colony and began orbital bombardment of its three major settlements.
| Prime Minister Samuels, Coalition leaders join war with Romulus
Stephanie Chang - Earth News Network
21 December, 2156
Prime Minister Nathan Samuels held a press conference today to declare that Earth's government, and the governments of the other CoP worlds, had elected to join the Andorians and Tellarites in their war against the Romulans, saying, "I cannot ignore their attack on the NX-02 Columbia, and the evidence of their involvement in the Salem One attack seems irrefutable. I deeply regret taking this extreme action, but the people of Earth have been threatened, and we must respond."
| Black unveils personal tragedy
James L. Anderson - Santa Rosa Chronicle, Santa Rosa, New Mexico
18 December, 2156
After my editorial two weeks ago, I was mildly surprised when I was invited by Starfleet Command to attend the memorial service for those lost on Salem One held at the cenotaph of the Presidio in San Francisco as a media representative for the local community of one of the fallen. I make no apologies for my anti-war stance, but because of it I expected that my esteemed colleague on the Tribune would have been invited instead.
| Andorians, Tellarites declare war on Romulans
Charles Carmen - Earth News Network
16 December, 2156
Citizens across the Coalition waiting to hear the results of the Andorian conference on whether to withdraw from the CoP were shocked today when the Andorian chancellor, Rek Tson, broke his government's silence and announced that his world was going to war.
| Confrontation with Romulans leaves Columbia badly damaged
Lieutenant Rebeca Sanborn - Starfleet News Feed
10 December, 2156
Late last night Starfleet Command released a report stating that NX-02 Columbia had engaged several Romulan ships at the edge of Coalition space. This morning new details were released. The admiralty has so far been vague about what sparked the conflict, but they are saying that one Romulan ship was destroyed, and that, several minutes later, the Columbia was attacked by superior numbers and suffered severe damage before being reinforced by two Andorian battlecruisers, the Walani and the Kyar. The Romulans were driven back and no further incursions into Coalition space have been reported.

| Salem One attack creates doubt among Coalition worlds
T'sel - Vulcan Information Directorate
4 December, 2156
The attack on Station Salem One has created ripple effects across the Coalition of Planets.
The death of the station's commander, Andorian General Jormek Sathra, after his repeated objections to the lack of armament on the station has incensed many on Andoria. Some have even postulated the theory that it was intentional Vulcan sabotage that led to the death of their general.
| The Human Cost
Editorial by James L. Anderson, Santa Rosa Chronicle, Santa Rosa, New Mexico
1 December, 2156
The devastating news of the loss of Salem One Station became intensely personal for Santa Rosa residents today when Mr. Michael Louis Orsino was delivered the following by personal courier from Starfleet Command this morning.
| New details emerge about Salem One attack
Juan Ramirez - Earth News Network
30 November, 2156

| BREAKING NEWS
Salem One Station lost
Charles Carmen - Earth News Network
28 November, 2156
Right now the information on what exactly has happened is scarce, but reports from Starfleet Command and the Vulcan Space Ministry have confirmed what the rumors we heard earlier this morning: Salem One Station has been attacked and is presumed destroyed.
|  Dispatches from the Romulan War
07 November 2007 - Save Enterprise has launched a new fan fiction series titled "Dispatches from the Romulan War.". It differs from traditional a fan fiction story by taking the form of a series of news reports about Romulan War, rather than a narrative story. We are planning on producing a variety of reports, coverage will range from reporting during the soon-to-happen epic battles to personal interest stories about those on the front lines and the homefront. Additionally, the reports will be filed from a variety of perspectives; from Humans to Vulcans to Tellarites and more. |
