Corp Date 9671.6.15 (2nd Entry)
At 18:00 today, Draconis Three broke out in food riots after food prices more than trippled with word that Altair Prime's jump gate had been shut down. With food shipments having to be redirected from other planets much further away, the food situation was deemed unstable and many buisnesses who retained food supplies began marking up the price in order to keep people from making a rush and buying them out before they could get resupplied. As Draconis Three has a large number of transients and scroungers living off proper citizens hard work, this soon caused a panic amoung them that there would be no food for them, and they rushed to vandalize and pillage any suipplies of food that they could. Corporate Rescue Squads have been deployed to help contain the senseless violence perpetrated by those who refuse to work for a living.
