TradeMain Foundation Recognizes Stevvin, Lorkin

One of the first acts of the new government here on Corona has been to recognize the independence of the systems of Stevvin and Lorkin. The former of course was abandoned by Scorpionis on their retreat from the front lines of the war, and had already been recognized by the Corona Foundation. Scorpionis had never acknowledged the membership of Lorkin in the Corona Foundation, and declaring the system's independence is clearly intended to send a message to the rest of Yonder that the new TMF is committed to freedom and a more hands-off rule than either of the former governments.
