• House Lyra is attacked by House Reticulum:

After the Shuken Roku departed for Ataecina, House Reticulum sensed an opportunity and sent performing groups, lobbyist organizations, and a whole host of other Reticulum controlled groups to Orpheus in order to gain power. Shipped over by ships of the FNCR Starliner, Aomori organizations rapidly began situating themselves in every available venue. As the Cirque du Sosharp, the Sector Bout Championship, and other similar groups began drawing in crowds, The Diet Assembly's Special Topics Committee began a lobbying campaign meant to tie up Lyran resources and prevent any organized resistance to the cultural attacks.

Relatively new to their positions,the officials left behind on the planet were unable to effectively co-ordinate any effort to evict Reticulum for the planet. For the next few weeks, Reticulum dominated headlines on Orpheus, and was beginning to muscle out longer standing theatre troupes and organizations. The population of Orpheus, uncertain about their new government in the first place, began to lose faith in the capabilities of the Shuken Roku.

Despite the Shuken Roku being delayed on Ataecina due to the ongoing travel crisis, the remaining officials on Orpheus were finally able to collaborate and began evicting Reticulum performers, revoking performance licenses, and organizing a cultural backlash against Reticulum. A series of plays and performances that were patronized and pushed by the Eraba Shita Foundation with anti-Reticulum theme began appearing across theaters all over Orpheus. Popular critics started to review the Reticulum shows poorly. Sensing that their free meal was over, Reticulum organizers pulled up stakes and abandoned Orpheus just as quickly as they had arrived.

Turn 18

• House Lyra moved the Smuggler Asset from Navette(0308) to Cabina(0509)
• Seizure on Phymete VIII(0903) 3/3, Completed
• Party Machine bought on Orpheus(0705):

The Eraba Shita Foundation is the cultural and charitable arm of the Shuken Roku. Upon the formation of the Dionysia and the election of the Shuken Roku, members of the council wanted to demonstrate their patronship of various cultural initiatives on Orpheus. This resulted in the creation of the Eraba Shita Foundation. The Foundation allows for members of the council to spotlight and fund initiatives of Orpheus that they believe are important. Given the neutrality of the Shuken Roku, no favouritism is shown to any particular Ideal, the criteria for sponsorship being that the initiative embodies the true spirit of House Lyra and its values. Being chosen by the Foundation often gives both a creative and financial edge to the enterprise, and is often sought after.
