In a shocking turn of events, the conflict between Eclipse Entertainment (EE) and Gentleman's Creed Traditional (GCT) has reached a dramatic conclusion. The dispute, centered around a historical drama production, escalated into a violent confrontation in deep space.
EE's 3rd Fleet, led by the enigmatic Commander Rachel Kim, launched a surprise attack on the pleasure yacht of GCT's CEO, Reginald Thornton-Fiennes. The ambush resulted in the annihilation of the escort vessels and their crew.
In a belated antibattle, Commander Kim and CEO Thornton-Fiennes engaged in a duel. Kim utilized a particle ripper while Thornton-Fiennes brandished a molecular-ceramic katana.
Eyewitnesses describe the duel as "intense" and "utterly absurd." The two combatants clashed in a zero-gravity environment, their movements choreographed like a "cosmic ballet."
In the end, Commander Kim emerged victorious, striking down CEO Thornton-Fiennes with a precise particle ripper strike. The GCT CEO's last words were reportedly, "Damn those hack writers."
With the duel concluded, the matter is considered settled. EE has asserted its dominance in the historical drama market, while GCT is left to ponder its next move.
In a statement, EE's spokesperson said, "We regret the necessity of this conflict, but we look forward to bringing a dramatized biopic of Thornton-Fiennes' life, which we won in the duel. We'll call it 'The Tragic Fool,' and you can expect on screens in six months."
GCT's spokesperson refused to respond, but on the condition of anonymity a high ranking board member told this journalist, "We're still trying to figure out how to spin this into our own marketing opportunity."

A Corporate-Run Market
A Corporate-Run Market is a near-laissez faire market run by corporations with light interference and oversight from the government. The corporations of the
Pan-Solar Consortium largely run the economy along the principles of brisk competition for market shares. The principles of
Harmony and Detente ensure that the government stays in its lane so long as the corporations minimize collateral damage in their never ending struggle for market domination. They are aware of the PSC's underdogism in the market when it does intervene, so corporate espionage is as important as
corporate warfare.
