This story is based in the SSB-verse (created by u/bluefishcake) and takes place at least 100 years after initial occupation. Humanity has proven itself in combat, subterfuge, and all-around fucking shit up so much that the Shil are starting to feel threatened. To mitigate that threat, at least according to the nobles in charge (with valuable input from those who were on the ground with the human forces), they agree to return partial autonomy of Earth to the humans, under the conditions that they still provide the above-mentioned services in name of the empire, and they stay under the management of a planetary governess. This story is not canon, although there will be canonical elements included. This is strictly a fanfic and I hope it rocks as hard as it sounds in my head.

“Sir, incoming message from Commander Johnson.” Comms announces.
“Read it for me.”
“The Commander says they’ve captured a pirate Light Frigate and its captain, along with 40 crew.”
“Small crew for a frigate. Ops, what’s the normal crew complement on a Light Frigate?” I ask.
“Normally a hundred sir. These are pirates so most likely undermanned.” Ops replies.
“Everything’s always undermanned…always.” I murmur quietly. “Tell them we’re on our way. Let medical know there will be more prisoners that need checked out. Lord knows they’ll probably need therapy after what Johnson’s boys did to them.”
“Aye sir.”
Time progresses slowly while we float closer to the captured vessel. Eventually we link up and begin the transfer of prisoners, with the pirate captain being escorted to medical and placed under 24/7 guard until we’re somewhere safe. Johnson enters the bridge and summarizes the entire incident.
“Nice work Commander. I hope you weren’t too hard on them.” I say after congratulating him on his success.
“Just a little slap and tickle sir, except for their captain. She needed my personal touch.” He responds back. “Also, there were a few who escaped so they’ll know there’s a new player in town real soon.”
“No worries. We have a Light Frigate now, which means we can be a little more liberal in how we approach the situation. Unless you damaged the ship beyond basic repair?”
“She’s right as

Dev diary #20, a guide on how to get involved in Anbennar's development, if you have interest in that, written by writing lead Ragingrage.
With pearly robes that wave within the wind, Even when she walks, she seems to dance, Like swaying serpents round those wands entwined Which fakirs ware in rhythmic elegance.
So like the desert's Blue, and the sands remote, Both, deaf to mortal suffering and to strife, Or like the sea-weeds 'neath the waves that float, Indifferently she moulds her budding life.
Her polished eyes are made of minerals bright, And in her mien, symbolical and cold, Wherein an angel mingles with a sphinx of old,
Where all is gold, and steel, and gems, and light, There shines, just like a useless star eternally, The sterile woman's frigid majesty.
Triplemania is AAA's biggest event of the year, making it Mexico's biggest event in Sports Entertainment. (CMLL is more Pro Wrestling). It's always fun. Humor, high flying, great stories, and amazing botches. It is usually held in the middle of the year, but this year we are lucky to get it at all, expected to be held with 0 fans. AAA has been trying different options this year including a short lived studio show and "Auto Lucha" which was like a drive-in pro-wrestling show. Main event is the cumulation of a mutli-year feud between the crazy clown Pagano and Chessman, the most senior member of Los OGTs (The Organization of Great Talent, a.k.a. the Assholes) in a Lucha de Apuestas Hair vs. Hair.
American fans may be most interested in AEW Stars The Lucha Brothers and Kenny Omega both defending their Mexican straps.
Also interesting is Marvel Lucha Libre Edition the Marvel Universe has somehow fractured and a tag team of Spiderman and Captain American face off against a team of Venom and Thanos. While IP restrictions are rarely enforced in Mexico, AAA actually has approval from Marvel for this one. They are using it to promote the new line of Marvel Funko Pop "Lucha Libre Editions" all of which will have special Funkos available for many Pesos.

Itchy.
You know it’s there. The v-chip. It’s been implanted - at some point, unbeknownst to you, lying, crouching, hiding - until recently - right where your back meets your neck. And it is unbearable.
Itchy. Itchy.
You sit, meditatively, in the gloom - the light, carelessly left on in the hallway, brings weak relief to the room. You don’t know why you were chosen. Maybe there’s nothing special about you, in particular. Maybe you’re the second coming, and They (the government? Cultists? Aliens? Or some secretive cabal formed of the most able and willing from all of the above?) needed to keep tabs on you - or on humanity, more generally. Who can say? What’s certain is that you’re the only person who is awake, eyes open, aware of this atrocity - the only one, apparently, experiencing this irritation.
Itchy. Itchy. Itchy.
Did they install it wrong? It seems insane that nobody else seems to be experiencing this, to be driven mad by the constant tingling, the scratching, the raw skin, the blooded fingernails, the torn scabs. The hall light reflects gently off the blade in your lap, suggesting pale lines on the wall. Perhaps this is why you’re able to think freely, unlike so many others - because it doesn’t work, because it was injected (or otherwise impregnated) into you improperly. Into your body - your domain, your lifeforce. The side effect of their incompetence, of course, being this torture, this being your payment for being able to speaking truth to power. How ironic.
Itchy. Itchy. Itchy.
You steel yourself. The great figures of the past had to make sacrifices, had to take drastic measures. Knocking over the still half-full mug next to you - poisoning the fouled carpet underneath - you poise the knife to make the first incision, to extract what has been forced on you, to remove your biological chains.
ITCHY. ITCHY. ITCHY.
You cannot take this anymore.
Roll 1d6 and test against your Truthseeker stat. Consult below for the outcome:
