Onionhead stories are dominating the Federal media, with teenage criminality being highlighted. The coverage has increased demand for the narcotic in Federal space higher than ever.

Admiral Vincent has announced a program of crop destruction from low orbit around Panem -

.Dropships, launched from our orbiting Farragut class battlecruisers have bombed large areas of crops. We used pinpoint modern weaponry and no human has been harmed in these attacks..
