Controversy Over Return of Fesh

The E.X.O. government of Wolf 1301 made headlines six standard months ago when it comprehensively took over the star system and ran the local Syndicate out of business, ending the trade in Wolf fesh. However, the fears of social commentators at the time have now been proven well-founded, as the Crom Silver Boys gang of the Herthe system launch their project to recreate the artificial psychotrope. One anonymous local commentator stated:

“E.X.O. worked real hard to shut the operation down, but as much as the general public here hoped the recipe of Wolf fesh embraced the cold vacuum of space with the Syndicate, chances were it was still out there. The criminal elements of the galaxy will always be interested in producing goods that hook the user – it’s a guaranteed supply of funds, and the more illegal it is, the more they can charge for it.”

A spokesperson for the Crom Silver Boys responded:
“We’re only providing what people want. If not us then someone else. If fesh is illegal in certain jurisdictions, that should be the concern of the traders and the consumers to lobby local government.”

Breaking the Syndicate

Wolf 1301, long under the control of the Wolf 1301 Syndicate, has made serious strides in breaking the power of the drug cartel. The Syndicate, which made a fortune selling Wolf Fesh to black markets across the galaxy, was recently run out of Saunders’ Dive by the up and coming E.X.O. democratic independents.

Fesh is illegal under the new government, and E.X.O. security patrols have bust the drugs trade, beating back the Syndicate to one of the system’s outposts. Several arrests of high-ranking Syndicate members have already been made, and local observers are anticipating an imminent raid on the outpost to break the Syndicate’s power.

The E.X.O. government is hoping that the drugs trade will at last be eliminated, but social commentators are warning that the popularity of fesh may see the recipe for the synthetic psychotrope turn up again once the high profile campaign has ended.
