It is now rumored the ship is anchored off of Legoland's shores and plotting its attack to retake the South Province.

October '09 News.
In a stunning surprise attack the North Province, lead by Crazy Ivan, took total control of the South Province in one day. The leader of the South Province is now missing and presumed dead. Colonel Brik was not in his mansion and compound when the attack ensued. He was overseas keeping tabs on his Football team, Napoli. The Colonel's forces fought hard but where overwhelmed by a superior force of Rebel Troops, Cobra and Jedi Knights of both sides. The carnage was so horrible that pictures of the event have only just begun to leak. As of this writing the South Province is gone and to be no more. The country of PBR will now be split by two factions. North and Middle. Bob the King, leader of the Middle refuses to get involved in this latest conflict. The King also refuses to allow Colonel Brik refuge in his Province.
Col. Brik's forces are rumored to be in hiding, planning a resistance against their attackers. The Colonel himself is also now reported to be in hiding in the country of Legoland and is expected to head to Sea in his Yacht when it can be dispacted to retrieve him. His specific wereabouts are unknown and he fears that the North will attempt to assasinate him if he shows himself in public.
The North Province instantly sold off the buildings it deemed unfit. Those building where relocated to the Middle Province who now has plenty of room for their ever growing Clone/Storm Trooper Army. Aieral photos show that these tranfers are now complete and the New North Province has a abundance of forces ready for any attack. When asked why the North attacked, its leader just said. "We needed to help those poor figs in the South."
Will the South rise again? It isn't expected too. The Colonel is a rich man, and it is expected he will just roam the Lego World and keep his operations secret, for now. There are no citizens in the Province to go back to, the leader of the Province is gone so the Colonel's ability to run the Province through his meddling is non-existent. This is expected to be a dawn of a new age in PBR.

Civil Unrest in PBR
Dateline Feb, 2009
Just after the shocking news of the Chief of Police being abducted now comes word of a terrible turn of events in PBR. Grand Puba Bob has fled the country as Civil Unrest, as the PBR government calls it, has broken out in PBR. True reports have called this a all out Civil War as PBR National Guard Troops attempted to hold off Clone Troops and Cobra Troops as they attacked the Castle which houses the Governement offices and the Grand Puba himself.
Dozens where killed in the fighting and many left injured as BlackBrik with the help of unknown figs managed to get GP Bob to a escape ship. GP Bob is now running the government from a undisclosed location. The violence in PBR has calmed in recent days as all parties involved regroup and rearm. Colonel Brik, commander of the PBR National Guard and Billionare owner of many business in PBR spoke briefly.
"We believe that this Civil Unrest is directly tied to the kidnapping of our Police Chief. Forces in PBR are conspiring to unseat our Grand Puba and put in place a Totalitary Government which rules with a iron fist. Our Police force is corrupted, they choose not to report to their posts during the conflict and many Figs died as a result of their actions. We believe the Clone and COBRA forces are the main cause of this issue. As of Feb 1st I am ordering a full call up of all National Guard forces. We will put this unrest in its place before Spring arrives."
Other reports also have mentioned a unknown force will be arriving soon to assist the PBR National Guard in taking down these forces. BlackBrik also has been working closely with the PBR Government to keep the unrest in check.

Police where very late getting to the scene and a anonymous source within the goverment believe the police wanted him kidnapped since he was loyal to Grand Puba Bob.
This brings more concern that the heavy handed actions of the Police and the rise in crime in PBR could lead to civil conflict.
