NATTH RIBBON update
--------------------------------------------------------------------
    The energy band that has been touted as curiousity, phenominon &
even god to many cults that have sprung up throughout the galaxy has
been reported as it turned yet again & now is increasing velocity as
it heads down the Triton Trade Route toward the Kathol Outback.
    The Cult of Natth division on the planet of Gandle Ott has
recieved permission from WarLord Sarne's Empire to begin pilgramig
that will end as they enter the Ribbon at an estimated point in the
Pembric System.  Their SuroSubb Yautt "the Merciful Destiny" was
aloud to launch with the argreement that Imperial Scientist harness
a deep space sensor array to the hull in hope of discovering the
source of the Ribbon itself &/or perhaps tracking it into the
Outback.   Scientist speculate this trip will be invane but that is
"the cost of fanaticism"- in their words... "Hopefully we can garner
useful information on the energy belt, with no unwanted deaths.  In
the name of Sarne, of course."
    Well, whatever the means for the Empire- the Cross/Sector sends
its thoughts with those young people.  May the Force be with them.

     "...time will tell & so will we...
This has been Arriot Fuches reporting for the Cross/Sector..."

    About the Article:
    This is the 3rd update by me on the Natth Ribbon- a phenominon
of unknown energy, origin & goal...  I have determined the purpose of
the Natth Ribbon in my game as the bringer of the God Krath.  The
Ribbon was created in a Ritual not wholey Sith on the planet Aariss
III in the Unknown Regions.. Kathol Sector.  the god Krath lives
within/around the force so this ritual has breached the line he could
not cross before (Krath was awoken by a surviving member of the Krath
heritage- one of my PCs, when he first used abilities of the Krath,
although he still thinks its Sith sorcery...)  the Natth Ribbon was
first just an energy source that was attracted to the PC then when
Krath awoke within it he learned of DarkStryder & has decided to take
its body when he can finally enter the galaxy...
