Dateline: Harvest House Kurita sources here have denounced the Lyran maneuvers as deliberate provocations aimed at destabilizing the Draconis Combine. "We have incontrovertible evidence that the Lyran Regulars are preparing for a strike against us," said General Domini Matsumoto, military governor of the Kurita world of Harvest. "Their forces are gathering on Romulus. Their agents have been smuggling weapons to the Outlands rebels on Harvest. It's beginning to look like Verthandi all over again. His Grace is not pleased, and he has given me complete authority to deal with the matter." "His Grace" undoubtedly refers to Archduke Hasid Ricol, governor of 14 border worlds within the Combine's Rasalhague Military District, but General Matsumoto would not elaborate on his statement. Duke Ricol could not be reached for comment.
