 This morning, the two thousand, six hundred, and forty-two workers at Kargen Forgeworks formed a picket line around the company's factory in Kargen, a system around sixty light-years spinward of Rylor. The strike organisers claim that such a strong mandate from the workers necessitates serious reform, and have a planned series of speeches this afternoon while they await communication from the company's shareholders. This morning, the two thousand, six hundred, and forty-two workers at Kargen Forgeworks formed a picket line around the company's factory in Kargen, a system around sixty light-years spinward of Rylor.

-The Kargen Forgeworks board of directors, located on Corico, released a public statement of refusal to negotiate with the striking workers, claiming that the company's operations are in line with the expectations of Corican trading law.

 The strike at Kargen Forgeworks turned violent less than one rotation after it began, with the workers -- armed primarily with heavy metalworking equipment and a few rifles -- storming the factories and breaking into the managerial quarters, where Managing Director Saven Tenscale was meeting with a group of local executives. At this time, it is believed that Managing Director Tenscale was killed in the ensuing fighting. The workers, now in open revolt, have declared a Provisional Workers' Administration in Kargen, and have made a public statement announcing their plans to re-open the forgework as a co-operative venture. The strike at Kargen Forgeworks turned violent less than one rotation after it began, with the workers -- armed primarily with heavy metalworking equipment and a few rifles -- storming the factories and breaking into the managerial quarters, where Managing Director Saven Tenscale was meeting with a group of local executives.
