*[[Senator]] [[Zemina Torval]] has relinquished her long-held position as [[Mastopolos Mining]]'s majority shareholder. Official reports confirmed that the board of directors passed a resolution to remove Zemina Torval from their number. Over half of her shares were then sold, thereby drastically reducing her personal influence on the corporation. An anonymous insider gave a statement to The [[Imperial Herald]]: "[[Gabriella Mastopolos]] made it crystal clear to the other shareholders that it was time to topple Zemina Torval from her perch. But what surprised them was Torval's lack of resistance to this pressure... almost as if she had been planning to step down all along. I've heard that every [[Credits|credit]] made by selling the shares went straight into the subsidiary that her daughter is running. So maybe all her eggs are going into that basket?"

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>The [[Torval Mining Ltd|Torval-Mastopolos Mining]] initiative in the [[LTT 198]] system has outperformed [[Wreaken Corporation|Wreaken Construction]]'s rival campaign. Pilots delivered mined resources to the megaships Pride of Bitterwood and Tobias's Gift to support the competing corporations. Ultimately, it was the new subsidiary of [[Mastopolos Mining]] that received the greatest quantities. [[Senator]] [[Zemina Torval]] provided a statement to [[Empire|Imperial]] media: "This is an auspicious beginning for my new enterprise. I am pleased to offer rewards to my supporters at the Pride of Bitterwood in the EGM 559 system." In addition to credits, the top 75% of Torval's supporters will be provided with an experimental [[Mining Laser|mining laser]] and permanent [[Permits|permit]] access to LTT 198. Constantia Torval, one of the senator's daughters, has assumed the role of director of operations with Torval-Mastopolos Mining. There has been no comment from the [[Mastopolos family]] regarding the subsidiary, which is being run autonomously by Zemina Torval. CEO [[Emmerich Koenig]] confirmed that Wreaken Construction will soon withdraw from LTT 198. Pilots who supported its efforts can now claim reimbursement from Tobias's Gift in the EGM 559 system. The top 10% of Koenig's supporters will receive an experimental [[Abrasion Blaster|abrasion blaster]] as well. LTT 198 State Ltd has reinstated permit control for entry to the LTT 198 system. A new [[starport]] will shortly be constructed and administered by Torval-Mastopolos Mining.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/612780be86c7c25e76055d5d GalNet: Mining Campaign Success for Zemina Torval]</ref> | *<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>The [[Torval Mining Ltd|Torval-Mastopolos Mining]] initiative in the [[LTT 198]] system has outperformed [[Wreaken Corporation|Wreaken Construction]]'s rival campaign.
