JEDI HoloNet

GHN LiVE at 2100

Welcome to GHN LiVE, where we cover the biggest stories of the day and give you the facts without the spin. Let’s take you around the Galaxy in less than two minutes!

Jedi Temple, Galactic City, Coruscant – Protestors gather on the steps of the Jedi Temple over controversy surrounding multiple grievances committed by Jedi Knights throughout the Galaxy, including most prominently the recent murder of Mandalore Jhil Beviin. Shouts calling for the disbanding of the Jedi Order on Coruscant were a constant as police forces kept the crowd at bay. Only one arrest was made in the form of seizing a violent Human man who launched a large container of alcohol at a passing Jedi Padawan.

Rwookrrorro, Kashyyyk – Galactic Alliance forces are reporting consistent success against rebel battalions on Kashyyyk, as more and more of the aggressing Trandoshans are being pushed into the recluse of mountain strongholds. Alliance commanders say an end to the war may be in sight within the year, or even sooner if the elusive General Crerniss can fall into capture.

Jygat, Mygeeto – Aid 4 Mygeeto, a private relief foundation headed by chairman Kleiara Talish, is reporting significant monetary donations being taken in from citizens from all over the Galaxy. Amidst this notice of good news however, the organization is also reporting difficulties in extending relief to the poorest of Jygat’s inner city, as gang warfare runs rampant, a danger to citizens and relief workers alike. Calls for a boost to Jygat’s police force have been made, even so far as requesting the aid of the Jedi Order.

That’s all for tonight’s GHN LiVE. We report, you decide!

As I looked upon the funeral proceedings of the fallen Mandalore, a sense of sorrow came upon me like the thrusting air of a winter storm acquainting itself in surprise. Though I felt sadness for the death of a popular figure, the whole scene of seeing other galactic leaders such as Aquitenne and Selanne implored me to think on the broader scale of our civilization. From a distant view, the Galaxy is prosperous. There is relative peace in comparison to war, and grand economic prosperity in comparison to financial ruin. While most of us carry with us this particular perception, the minority of negativity within existence should still be recognized with respect. While Corellia houses the needy and saves lives, events on Kashyyyk tear out the hearts of thousands. While Bastion witnesses the rising of new businesses, Mygeeto struggles to barely keep half of their institutions aloft in mediocrity.

We turn a blind eye to the worst in the Galaxy, but we are naturally predisposed to do so.

Jhil Beviin: 240.11 - 277.17

Breaking and unfortunate news has just hit our stations in the Outer Rim territories. It seems Jhil Beviin, head of state and warrior monarch of the Mandalorian race, is dead by means of assassination from an unidentified Jedi on the planet of Bandomeer, executed yesterday evening.

Shockwaves have quickly penetrated across the region and Galaxy as revelations of the death of the befallen leader rapidly enter the startled minds of galactic citizens. On-hand reports say that during a routine speech being dictated to Mandalorian citizens, a cloaked Jedi blasted through the dense crowd of spectators armed with an ignited blue lightsaber in hand. Though guards and servicemen alike quickly fired upon the approaching aggressor, the volleys from their blasters were steadfastly deflected and reflected in stunning fashion. Before any new attempts at stopping the Jedi could commence however, the Jedi sprung onto the podium and, with a single strike of the lightsaber, decapitated Beviin and ended her life with planned intent. The assassin quickly escaped the scene in a blur, and despite efforts to prevent their fleeing of the system, mounted a starfighter and blasted out of the system, using the paralysis of the stunned crowd to their advantage.

Efforts to catch the fleeing assassin in space have regrettably failed, as the time of departure and subsequent pursuit were too far-spread to permit accurate tracking. The face of the Jedi was never revealed, and only by the structure of their body did spectators assume that the killer was most plausibly a well-built man.

Trandoshan Base Set Ablaze from Turbolaser Fire

After many failed attempts at dismantling a particular rebel base’s shield generation capabilities, Galactic Alliance forces successfully penetrated the depths of the structure and disabled the intimidating heart of the technology following the surrender of Trandoshan inhabitants. As seen in released photos after troop evacuation, the fortification was soon fired upon by turbolasers from orbital support in order to prevent recapture. The photos, taken by survey droids, demonstrate the initial volleys of fire setting the fortification ablaze before the structure eventually crumbled.

Following the momentous destruction of the base, rebel forces within relative vicinity immediately surrendered, devoid of their once-protective shielding. While the taking of these bases have proven arduous, Alliance command has remained staunch in its strategy to eradicate them for victory. Despite the destruction of this prominent foothold and subsequent enlightening of morale however, rebel forces still retain multiple fortifications, as well as isolated command areas within the mountainous regions of the planet. The capture of General Crerniss has also proven to be extremely difficult.

All in all however, this stands as a significant victory for the Galactic Alliance and Chief Aquitenne, whose political success remains tied with the outcome of this military expedition. Stay tuned as new developments unfold.

The Planet of Mygeeto

While the Galactic Alliance faces its militaristic problems on Kashyyyk, the Commonwealth faces its own challenges in the form of its economically-suffering northern territories. Highlighting the once-prominent world of Mygeeto, monetary downturns of banking systems have shaped its capital city of Jygat into a bastion of gang warfare, as Muun and Lurmen populations raise speciesist tensions over trivial disputes.

Though a significant population of Jygat remains in a high standard of living, the economic recession has shrunken its middle class to relatively negligible numbers, as the poor and homeless populations continue to rise in the sunken city. Statistics show that one third of Jygat citizens are affected by gang warfare in their everyday lives.

Despite monetary bailouts being sent from the government on Naboo to banking establishments across the planet of Mygeeto, there has been little visible change in the form of creating a more secure environment for Mygeetans, which has caused much political flack to be inflicted upon Prime Minister Paol Selanne.

Whatever the correct course of repair may be, it still seems to remain a long-reach away from the citizens of Mygeeto.
