JEDI HoloNet

Stop reading this and go to bed!

How many of you are reading this on your datapad tucked up in bed? or sat at your desk with only your holoscreen for light? If you are then stop reading this and go to bed!

Residents of the Galaxy simply aren’t getting enough sleep says a new study commissioned by the Senates Secretary for Health Dr. Beserat.

The study incorporating a wide range of species and locations found that on average a galactic citizen is only getting two thirds of their recommended sleep. Naturally different species require different amount of sleep, a standard human sleep of 7-8 hours would feel like an eternity for the Gand, who only require a couple of hours.

So do yourself a favour. Next time you’re in bed, and you reach for your datapad to watch yet more videos of tooka-cats chasing lasers, pause for a moment and think is that the reason you struggle to get anything done before your 3rd caf in the morning?

After thorough investigation within the Outer-Rim and many micro-occurrences leading to an overwhelming influx of crime travelling south into wild space it is believed that the Jedi Council has given orders to increase Jedi presence in that particular region of the Galaxy.

This particular report focuses on a pair of Jedi were sent to the planet of Jutrand, based in the Outer-Rim.

Video evidence has been recovered from the planet revealing a hooded man with a lightsaber being chased down by the pair of Jedi trying to apprehend him. It is not clear whether this man is acting alone, or is residual part of the Imperium Remnant. The Jedi Council has declined to comment, simply commenting that search parties have already been sent to travel through wild space to bring assurances to the residents of the outer-rim.

Meanwhile, it is Holonews belief that all Jedi within Wild-Space or the Outer-Rim have been given a warning of caution when dispatched on any assignment within these area’s.

The legends of the Starweirds was probably told to everyone at some point in their lives. A species of incorporeal humanoids found only in space. Tall and gaunt, they possessed long, sharp talons, wild white hair, and glowing eyes. The creatures appeared to spacers repairing their starships in space, or aboard vessels traveling through hyperspace. Recently reports have come that vessels have gone completely off the grid, varying from transport shuttles to even military occupied vessels.

Colonel Krenn, one of the soldiers who witnessed the massacre on Vohai had this to say:

“I can assure you that the Republic Navy won’t let this stand. High Command is already devising a plan to tackle the situation and we will treat this as real rescue missions with a threat.”

Some believe this issue should be taken up by the Jedi. The Starweirds were always reported to be linked to the force in some sort of way. We spoke to Jedi Master and High Council, Yanna who’s known within the Order for her extensive knowledge for the mystery behind the force, she said this:

“Yes, the Starweirds are more than just a fairy tale, which is why we always remember to tell people to travel with caution. The Council Of First Knowledge have devised a plan and are now picking Jedi to lead the campaign against the Starweirds. We’ve elected three Jedi Knights from their respective branches to take a team of Antarian Rangers and Padawans out to search for the missing vessels. We’ll most likely see some results over the next couple cycles.”

Master Yanna seemed sure that her Knights would be able to deal with the situation, though we’ll have to see if Colonel Krenn gets to the Starweirds before her!

We turn our attention back to Hutt space where things have been ‘popping off’. Coming back to us now the Hutt Clans, though often disorganized and fractious have unfortunately lost one of their council members. Goolag the Hutt was a renowned name in the far eastern quadrant of Hutt space. It was reported that he had an iron grip of the planets that he controlled often offering the highest levels of authority and apparently claimed to be looking to rid of the bad stereotype the galaxy has placed over Hutt Space. Unfortunately, his good efforts have come to a halt as he has been confirmed dead by Hutt Authorities in his palace on Barab I.

It was reported that he had received a gash mark across his hand, his wound cauterized. A lot of links show to a young Jedi Padawan who goes by the name Mer’dok to be the culprit. Many in the Republic believe this to be a direct attack on the Hutts by the Jedi Order, some claiming this to even be an assassination of sorts. Governor X’kados who was once a Jedi Knight gave us his thoughts about the Jedi’s possible involvement in the murder:

“Honestly I don’t see the Jedi being at fault, there’s most likely more to the picture but who knows. The Jedi are great people. They literally train all their lives on correct morals and ethics as I was once apart of their family and I still am, so I doubt they have an involvement in this, though who knows.”

Leader and face of the Jedi Order Grandmaster Don’roq who has recently been under heavy scrutiny after his plan of expanding the Jedi Order not getting off to a strong start after an unforeseen stock market crash politely accepted our statement request to which he said this:

“Currently the Order is under a lot of pressure. I’ve had to cancel two summit meetings between the branches In order to solve internal issues after the stock market crash. I want to say thank you to all of our donators for still believing in us. I’m sure that we’ll pull through this rough stage. As for the murder, it’s still unclear what judiciary Padawan Mer’dok will be trialed under though I can assure you that there’s something more to this than what meets the eye”

Tensions only rise in Hutt space. We can only hope for the best.

The Hutt Clans, though often disorganized and fractious, have coordinated a systematic buyout of industries within their closest border of the Republic, ‘buying out’ several business owners who have been rapidly losing profits since the crash of the Republic Stock Market, and following Recession.

The Hutt Clan of Wudo, led by Shocher, appears to be the largest culprit, as the territories controlled by the Clan directly border Republic space. An estimated 5 billion credits have been expended in this rapid buyout of Republic Arms manufacturing, steel manufacturing and other heavy industry, as well as farming plantations and private docking bays.

The Republic Governor of the Hutt Space, Laa’ken Ruun, denounced the action as ‘unprecedented economic sabotage’, yet the Republic Government has no intention of publicly commenting on the issue, as Holonews sources indicate the Republic Government is too busy wrapped up in dealing with serious civil disorder concerning the Vohai massacre and ‘anti-corruption’ charges against the Republic.
