JEDI HoloNet

Reports are coming in of an attack which took place on the city of Mos Osnoe, on the planet Tatooine. Sources say this seems to be a deliberate action taken by none other than the Tusken Raiders , commonly referred too as the Sand People by the inhabitants of Tatooine. We have no information as to why they decided to attack the city of Mos Osnoe, but sources also say that there has been a number of attacks actioned by the Tuskens across the deserts of Tatooine on a few random locations.

Many of the residents of Mos Osnoe were killed in the attack, but many more survived thanks to the actions of security forces put together and consisting of actual local authorities and any person able to hand a weapon of use against the would be attackers. Even though their own casualties were excessively high, they managed to keep the Tuskens back long enough for civilians to escape from the city during the raid.

We interrupt this broadcast to bring you breaking news from Coruscant South-West. Now going to Rin Jaicup live on the scene! Why don’t you tell us what’s going on down there Rin?

Well Ular, if you look behind me you’ll see that I’m standing in front of the old Southwest CivSec building, where Kortuvva is being held in custody. Reports are sketchy right now, but eye witness reports are coming in stating that at around twenty-one thirty local time, Kortuvva was seen climbing the walls of buildings, swinging from service wires, and shouting slurs and epithets about..wait a moment, is this right?

::Rin looks off-camera for a moment, a quizzical look on his face::

I’m being told by our translator droid that she was actually singing slurs and epithets about a ‘soft-bellied chiptooth’. She was shortly thereafter arrested outside the Azure Dianoga Cantina wearing some sort of wet cape.

I’d to point out quickly that none of this is very unusual behavior for the artist. Her track record of causing a public commotion over some sort of personal grievance…hold on, we’re going to break right now for a statement from local Chief Esslen.

::The camera pans to the right, framing a heavy-set Mon Calamari with quivering jowls that shake as he speaks::

“…would like to make it perfectly clear right now that the only charges Kortuvva are being pressed with at this is that of disturbing of the peace. We cannot track the source of the cape she was wearing, but we can confirm that it did at one point belong on the body of a Trandoshan male. Apart from that we have no comment, and investigators will be beginning their inquiries imminently. Thank you for your time.”

::The display returns to Rin, his mouth left slightly agape for a moment before regaining his composure::

As you can see Ular, it’s been a very busy night for Kortuvva. We’ll be making inquiries of our own with Blackscale to see if he can shed any kind of light on these developments. For now, this is Rin Jaicup with GHN Media, back to you.

Wookiee core drive artist Kortuvva announced this morning that she will be working on a collaboration album with the renowned Trandoshan glitz composer, Blackscale. The pairing of heavy core drive with glitz melodies is not unheard of, but the coming-together of these historically opposed racial styles has been met with heavy criticism. Kortuvva’s fans have responded with outcry, as the majority of her music features racially-charged themes and lyrics.

When asked for comment, Kortuvva responded by saying:

“Blackscale is a talented musician and an intelligent businessman. Working with him to combine musical styles in spite of our racial differences breaks musical precedent. In coming together, our music can show the galaxy this: the hatred that has driven our species apart for so long is truly, a thing of the past.”

GHN attempted to contact Jedi Master Kara Yelay, pupil of the late Jedi Master Mardus Jeul, for comment on the matter. Master Jeul had earned respect from Wookiees, and Trandoshans alike, for being instrumental in peace talks between the two races. In maintaining with the Order’s stance of neutrality, Master Yelay refused to comment on the matter, though we suspect that the Jedi will be watching this mixture of art and culture with as much interest as we have here in the studio.

We’re now going live to Corellia where Rin Jaicup is awaiting word regarding a stolen piece of Corellian history, Rin?

“Thank you Ular. As you can see, I’m standing here on the front steps of the Corellian Academy Of Arts, where not too long ago one of the most expansive and unique pieces of historical art ever created by a Corellian, has disappeared. The painting, known as “The Defense of Kolene” dates back a several thousand years, in which time it has seen several long and expensive restorations. We here at GHN don’t wish to guess the fate of this painting, but we do have it on a reliable source that this was no small operation. The painting itself spans almost two-hundred square feet, and has it’s own dedicated viewing gallery. It was created during-…what? Oh, we have an entourage from CorSec leaving the building now, we’re going to move in and try to get a statement!”

“Ladies and gentlemen, as it has been reported, “The Defense of Kolene” has been misplaced from the exposition block of the Academy. Now, details are unclear at this time, but I can tell you this much: the painting was moved out of the exposition the same way that it was brought into the academy: through the skylight. After examination we’ve concluded that it was recently dismantled and re-assembled. We presume that perpetrators used a stealth-equipped transport big enough for the painting. At this time, there is no more information we can readily share, good day.”

“Mister Kiorl..Mister Kiorl! …Well, you heard it Ular, CorSec will have their hands full ensuring that this historic piece is returned in good shape. I am Rin Jaicup, GHN, back to you Ular.”
