463.04 // Third Estate Claims Jedi Involvement in Feena Resistance Cell
CORUSCANT – Republic Intelligence sources have confirmed the arrest of a resistance network operating on Feena, called the “Friends of Lyechusas”. The group, reportedly led by Ael Ar Gall, was linked to a failed prison break aiming to free Kith Trathme previously arrested and awaiting his judgment for high treason.
According to sources on Feena, the operation resulted in significant casualties, including the deaths of at least two resistance members. The Ministry of Purity and Thought claims the arrest of a Jedi in the process and three associates : Shehiem, Kan Zorrus, and Vorle Sewdile. The prisonners were captured by Third Estate forces after being compromised by an unidentified informant.
The Jedi High Council has not issued an official statement regarding any Jedi involvement. A Judicial Department spokesperson noted: “We are aware of unverified insurgent activity in Third Estate territories. Until full investigations are completed, we cannot comment on alleged Jedi participation in non official operations.”
The incident raises troubling questions about Jedi engagement in extrajudicial conflicts. Chancellor Khorta’s office declined to speculate on potential diplomatic repercussions, citing “fluid and unconfirmed intelligence.”
Development ongoing.
