After years of researching new models and processors along with Manon-Maison Communications, Technologie Astéria has finally been
able to release their new products at a company showcase today in the Golden Valley of Thiers. Technologie Astéria has been working
on the models since they opened up polytechnic schools years back. Shadowing the old Trident-L2 model, Technologie Astéria released
two new laptops with new specifications and updated technologies. The new Trident-L3 uses the third generation Laroux processor (L3).
This processor is 23% faster than the previous Laroux processor after technological advancement projects were made between Technologie
Astéria and Manon-Maison Communications.

The Trident-L3 has a larger screen than the Trident-L3A and has a more compact keyboard than the L3A as well. The Trident L3A, however,
is faster than the L3 and includes much more hard drive space than the L3. The L3 has been designed mainly for the general public in need of
a laptop for home, school, or work. The L3A has been designed for the general public who need the computer for fast rate work or general
gaming and entertainment,although it will come for a higher price.

The Trident L3 and the Trident L3A come in 4 shades: Black, White, Grey, and Red. The Trident L3 is priced at a range of 350 LFR to 550 LFR.
(Range of price depends on memory/processor type). The Trident L3A is priced at a range of 600 LFR to 800 LFR (Range of price depends on
memory/processor type). Technologie Astéria is expected to sell almost 200,000 computers in the first week as a result of the long wait for
the computers. Surely, the Trident models from Technologie Astéria are expected to be a big hit in Lourenne as well as the regional area.

BREAKING NEWS: LOURENNIAN FEDERAL AID HIGHWAY SYSTEM ANNOUNCED; CONSTRUCTION COMMENCING SOON
Triplett: Fed-Aid Highway Act fully finances system
ERONCOURT - We are following breaking and developing news. Following the passage of the Federal Aid Highway Act, the long-awaited Lourennian highway system has finally been announced. Majority Leader Emily Triplett, who advocated and shepherded the project through the Federal Roads Bureau and then the Assembly, appears to have been given the reins on the system. Triplett made the announcement in the hallways of the Assembly, which commentators called very informal for the situation. In her announcement, Triplett described the routes involved in phase 1 (out of 11): Translourennian Highway 1, which will run along the northern coast from Porte Orleans to Valois, then go inland to Delaune; and Interstate Highway 1, which will run from Parmentier cross-country to St. Madeline. Triplett also announced this Manual for Traffic Signage. She added that she will add more information at a later time.

Princess Victoria safe in Lourenne, King Herbert sends support to Emperor William VII

Very recently, Hutori has been dominated by republican parties in its national legislature. Unfortunately, the parties have been able to successfully remove the ages old Hutorian monarchy essentially, leaving the Hutorian royal family without a country. Princess Victoria, who is engaged with King Herbert, has stated the she feels "safe and protected" at the main residence for the Lourennais monarchy: The Palais des Lumières (Palace of Lights). Currently, Princess Victoria is living at the monstrous palace after leaving Hutori.

King Herbert has publically stated that the "loss of the prestigious monarchy in Hutori is a deep incision in the Northern Hemisphere. The Hutorian Royal Family is always welcomed in Lourenne for a permanent or temporary stay. Our country has various open residencies for the members of the Royal Family of Hutori to stay in. We stand with them in support and we are here whenever they need our aid or services." The Hutorian Royal Family is able to live at the Palais des Lumières due to its grand size.The palace is completely capable of fitting 3 large families at once, so accomodations at the palace are easily enough to fit the family in case they need to find a residency. King Herbert will try to communicate with Kazulia in order to avoid another crisis, like the one in Hutori, from happening in the North.

Technologie Astéria Releases first Television models

Visage-1X (left) , Visage-1S (right)

New from Thiers this week Technologie Astéria has announced the creation and release of their very first television models
at their annual company release show. The company modeled their new television sets after Manon-Maison's old 1st generation
models. Technologie Astéria released their models just months after releasing their most recent computer models. The new
television sets have been dubbed as the Visage-Model. The company released their standard model first, the Visage-1S. The
Visage-1S has high definition screens and is able to be controlled by a manual control and the company's Infinity model
phones. The Visage-1S includes models range from 44" to 64". The Visage-1S comes in only black and grey models.

The Visage-1X is the larger model by Technologie Astéria. The model only comes in larger sizes than the 1S. The Visage-1X
also has the compatibility to connect to Trident model computers and to Infinity Model mobile devices. The Visage-1X only comes
in a bright, silver color and has wider screens than the Visage-1S. The Visage-1S is priced at a range of 350 LFR to 500 LFR. The
Visage-1X is priced at a range of 600 LFR to 750 LFR. These prices depend on the compatibility of the TV's with other external
devices.

Foreign Trade and Communications Director Fernand Arnault from Technologie Astéria recently held a short conference of the expansion
of Technologie Astéria to foreign countries. Contributing his comment to the press, Arnault explained that
Technologie Astéria is always looking for expansion to other countries. Recently, I read an article about Keymon's very amateur technology
sector achieving the creation of their first mobile phone. Although they seem promising, our board of directors in the Golden Valley believe
that Technologie Astéria should not invest in the firm yet. We hope to first stabilize our position in our international vicinity before we invest
in smaller, not too developed firms. Manon-Maison's expansion to Kalistan proved to be successful, therefore we hope to expand to help Keymon's
firms develop more. That project would be focused more on improving their tech sector rather than improving ours. Yet, we might finalize our
decision in the next few years. Until then, enjoy your products!

Ministry of Defense announces new National Military Protocols

Image
Royal Cabinet Building (above)

After returning from large military exercises with Northern Council ally Keymon, the Ministry of Defense examined the results of the exercises and concluded that Lourennais strategies and tactics are beginning to fade. The Ministry of Defense acquired new strategies during the Dovani War. That strategy was dubbed Épée Silencieuse (Silent Sword). This strategy focused on swift and silent attacks during armed conflict. The Ministry has stated that Épée Silencieuse is "no longer working for Lourennais troops. A tactic that has prolonged for many decades will no longer be the way we train our troops and initiate our international support in armed conflict." The Ministry of Defense has switched their focus from silent, large attacks to a more "strategic" approach. The Ministry of Defense has called the new approach "Bouclier D'Argent" (Silver Shield). The new strategy is structured as a balance between defensive and offensive tactics with a focus on rural conflict such as jungles, mountains, and open areas. The new strategy also focuses on using speed and terrain adapting.

The Ministry of Defense has taken inspiration from various Northern Council exercises to model Silver Shield. Terrain Adapting and new defensive strategies have been labelled as the most important sections of Silver Shield. Terrain Adapting training is being planned by the Ministry of Defense for 4468. Terrain Adapting includes training for geographic areas that are difficult fir most armies to come by. Terrain Adapting will focus on the swamps and jungles in Luçande, Louives and Carolleux. It will also focus on mountain defense in the Rasten Mountains in Outannais as well as flat areas like those near Lourenne's coasts. Speed is an important factor that the Ministry of Defense has deemed as important. The Ministry of Defense is prepared to spend billions of Lourennais Francs for the production of hundreds of AXL-10'S, Lourenne's quick infantry attack vehicle. Offensive tactics will have a similar style to the Northern Council's Cold Resolve. The Defensive tactics will be new and Lourennais created. Defensive tactics will include a large updating of the nation's armed forces, national defenses, and military technology. However, the Ministry of Defense has stated that those will be secondary projects to the new protocols. Silver Shield training will begin for all troops in 4468 and new technology is expected to be researched around the same time.

ImageImage

After recent releases ranging from new television models and computers, Technologie Astéria has become Lourenne's top technology company
replacing Manon-Maison Communications. Technologie Astéria has made millions of Lourennais Francs after their recent releases and the firm
does not seem to be slowing down. Technologie Astéria held a yearly public conference at their headquarters in the Golden Valley yesterday
where they revealed new models and designs on the Visage Television line and the Tridente computer line. No major changes were added to
the lines.Changes were strictly in color variation and screen dimensions. The company clearly in competition with Manon-Maison Communications,
announced their third smartphone, the Infinité-A3. Technologie Astéria has stated that they have been "working hard to perfect each mobile
phone that we release. Our goal is to make our phones the best in international markets. I believe that we are certainly among the best put there.

Technologie Astéria is set to officially release the Infinity-A3 in the spring or summer of 4468. Workers at the company are hinting that the price of the
device is around 750 - 800 LFR.

Decades ago, Manon-Maison Communications and KalMD formed a special agreement for technological cooperation and development between Kalistan
and Lourenne. KalMM's Director and CEO Michelle Marks-Bennots has a deep and direct influence in the Golden Valley since taking KalMM to success.
Manon-Maison Communications has seen a sharp 21% increase in sales since joining KalMD. After a large conference that was held at Manon-Masion
Headquarters last march, it was concluded and researched that KalMM have received the most profits than any other regional technology firm, excluding
Indralan Firms. KalMM have made nearly 100 million LFR as a result of large sales in Kalistan and Lourenne. The company is set to enter another decade of
improvement and cooperation. CEO of Manon-Maison Communications Renault Bernarde claimed that Lourenne is"ready to enter a technological golden
age with KalMM. This new age will spawn cooperation between Lourenne and Kalistan both politically and technologically. We are ready for this new age of
international success. We hope they are too."

Exercise Silver Shield takes place in Outannais

In 4467, The Minisrty of Defense released new military protocols after military training with Keymon. These protocols are new strategies and tactics that have been crafted for use of the Lourennais Royal Armed Forces. The new protocols dubbed "Silver Shield" includes a balance of offensive and defensive strategies when invading, attacking, and defending certain locations. The protocols includes other various "secondary" strategies such as speedy attacks, Terrain Adapting warfare, and strict national defense. The Ministry of Defense prepared a series of military drills and exercises that use and develop the new Silver Shield protocols. The Ministry of Defense divided the exercises in 4 days.

On days 1 and 2, The Lourennais Infantry component relocated to the Rasten mountains in Outannais. In the mountains, troops practiced long range shooting, holding defensive positions on steep mountain slopes, and camouflage stealth movements. Troops practiced shooting at long-range from hill tops and mountain tops to small to medium sized target at their base. Troops who excelled in those exercises were given advanced training to form an elite sniper and sharpshooter unit. Troops that
completed the basic shooting exercises were then prepared to defend large open areas to paratrooper landings. After mountain training and exercises, the Infantry component participated in a large aerial invasion simulation where troops defended a mountain base from paratrooper units. As a final exercise, troops of the Infantry
component attacked small encampment at the base of many mountains to simulate a stealth night attack.

On days 3 and 4, the infantry component traveled to the jungle lowlands of eastern Louives. Troops of the infantry component practiced stealth exercises in the lowland jungles. Troops were stationed in large itches and ponds filled with seasonal rainwater to fully master the stealth and camouflage component of the exercises. Troops were mainly assigned reconnaissance exercises within the jungles. Fighting in the extreme rain forests, swamps, and jungles was kept at a minimum. The exercise in the jungles was based on stealth, maneuverability in different terrains, and keeping mental stability in such areas. Two days were deemed necessary for the terrain adaptation exercises because of the importance it is towards the new silver shield protocols. After completing stealth and reconnaissance training in Louives, troops returned to base for regular cardiovascular endurance and mental health checks.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Eroncourt are preparing negotiations and communications with the country of Fortland. The Ministry
of Foreign Affairs has released a statement that Lourenne will enter negotiations to "set up a refueling station for the Royal Navy of
Lourenne, Lourennais commercial ships, private ships, and our large trading ships.
". The Ministry of Defense has supported the
actions taken by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Ministry of Defense has drafted plans to establish a very small operating center
on Fortland that will oversee operations of the 2nd Lourennais Response Fleet in the south Anantonese Ocean.

Officials from Fortland are yet to respond to the message sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs;however, Officials are expecting that
Fortland accept the offer as a result of the actions being taken by Zardugal. Zardugal has stated that they want to add Fortland as a
part of their "empire". However, because of Fortland's close proximity to Noumonde, New Alduria, and the Federation of Canrille, The
Ministry of Foreign Affairs is determined to quickly reach a deal with Fortland to prevent Majatran nations entering that section of
Terra.
