Greetings Jedi throughout the Galaxy,

With the official lifting of the ban of our kind within the territories of the Galactic Alliance, we are once again free to operate as we once did, though naturally with a reminded sense of careful consideration. In this consideration, we must realize that even the strongest of bonds can be broken with even the lightest wave of a feather, and that our existence as an Order will hinge upon our strong vigilance. Despite past transgressions however, we have ultimately been accepted once more, whatever the true or ulterior motives may be.

We now once again face the circumstances of the Galaxy. Many of our brothers and sisters have been lifted from this existence under the banner of revenge of the Mandalorians, while billions concurrently suffer under their misguided wrath. The Ascendancy has also caused undeniably significant disruption in its path towards uncertain objectives, standing as a great threat to the balance of the Galaxy. In facing this, the allied Coalition has found ungrounded success and has, as most speculate, requested the participatory aid of our Order in the many facets of this great struggle.

After lengthy deliberation, the High Council has concluded that the best course of action for our Order will be in the form of tentative involvement. In this, those who feel the call to arms may request commissioning into the commanding ranks of the Coalition in order to repel this threat directly…

The Galactic Senate Building on Coruscant

Where many thought the Galactic Senate was too prideful to turn its back on such a bold decision, others deduced that desperate times would call for a slice of humble pie. Yes. The powerful Galactic Senate, in the heart of the grand Galactic Alliance, has officially amended Measure J10960, effectively terminating the formal banishment of the Jedi Order from federal territories.

The move marked one of the quickest amendments made in the history of the Galactic Alliance. With 68% of Senators (mostly new representatives) voting in favor of lifting the ban, the ultimate executive decision found itself laying in the large hands of Chief of State Caden Aquitenne– the figure who denounced the Jedi Order so somberly that many commented that he appeared as a jilted lover, forever denied the amorous embrace of his former soulmate. With a face that initially appeared reluctant, a look of conviction ultimately took over the powerful president as he stoically announced the agreeable decision in favor of the Jedi Order.

Taking effect immediately, the amendment ceases the state of uncertainty formerly experienced on the part of the Jedi Order, which was best-exemplified by its remaining presence on Coruscant. Most analysts agree that the uncertain news coming from Bastion ultimately swayed undecided political figures to bite the blast and once again allow the Jedi legal operations within the Alliance.

Many hope that this re-legalization of the Jedi Order will also bring about the military commissioning of many of its members in the Coalition. While there are several conflicting reports, a majority seem to point to the Jedi Order making a tentative partnership with the allied force in the near future. Time, as well as remaining sympathies, will ultimately tell.

Former Jedi Possibly Seen on Bastion

Amidst the chaos on Bastion, an intriguing possibility may have possibly been unearthed on the battlefields surrounding the city of Fel. The above photo (enlargeable), taken by a retreating soldier, depicts what seems to be a Chiss Jedi striking down a Coalition officer during engaged warfare. Though blurred from rapid movement, the picture may indeed show the first documented sighting of Rinne’selen’omare, exiled Jedi and infamous figure of the Dor’shan relief effort some years ago.

As some viewers may recall regarding the effort on Dorin, the ex-Jedi Knight was witnessed murdering five Kel Dor citizens in an apparent act of revenge for a fallen comrade. Despite strenuous efforts to find him, the murderer escaped unapprehended as perceptions of the Jedi Order took a substantial hit following the unfortunate debacle. With this potential sighting however, it seems Rinne’selen’omare, or Eseleno as he was often referred to, found refuge amongst the Ascendancy and has subsequently re-emerged as a commander of its forces.

To provide insight to the situation, GHN asked for and received comment from Coalition High Command regarding the recent sighting on the battlefield:

We have been told over the past cycle from a particular militia force that a Chiss Jedi was operating in the defense of an air turret, but our forces could provide no distinct proof. In addition, there have been even more cloudy rumors of the same Jedi being sighted across the Northern Commonwealth territories in the past that were swiped aside as nonsense. However, with the recent confirmation from our Colonels in the field, we have realized this individual to both exist and furthermore be in need to be held as a prominent threat to our potential success on Bastion.

The presence of a Jedi on the battlefield has long been documented as a significant force to combat due to innumerable factors throughout time. With this present news surfacing across planets throughout the Alliance and Commonwealth territories, the Jedi Order must undoubtedly hear a more dire calling for its needed assistance in this tumultuous war.

A Bastion Air Turret, Point of Tactical Advantage

Reports indicate that the current focus of Coalition defensive efforts lies in the Braxant Sector, most notably at the historic planet of Bastion. Here, Ascendancy forces have engaged in a tumultuous struggle for the pivotal system that has affectively resulted in total warfare. With constant warring both in orbit and on the surface of the planet, civilians of the planet have been called into service into regulated militia service, as well as going as far as forming unregulated militias in order to combat the substantial forces of the Ascendancy.

Within this gritty battle lies the importance for the Coalition to make a stand similar to its showing against Mandalorian forces on Taris. If Bastion is to fall, it can be expected that systems in proximity will also find themselves invaded, resulting in a larger front spanning across much of the Outer Rim Territories. Much of the potential success allegedly lies in the retention of the many air turrets positioned around the planet that control the transportation of troops around the many surfaces of the planet.

Meanwhile, efforts at persuading the somewhat dubious Hutt governance to join the forces of the Coalition have at this point failed, according to Major General Sol Varan. While talks with the Hutts never found a solid standing, efforts with the Jedi Order have been found to have more leadway, as the reformed Senate becomes more hospitable towards the mending of a recently large wound created between the two institutions. With the constant support of military leaders, we may perhaps see the eventual participation of the Jedi Order within the greater context of galactic war.

In order to better preserve the welfare of the people, all planets and moons that fall within the Outer Rim Territories will now observe a mandatory curfew of 2200-GST, effective until 500-GST. Additionally, regular patrols are to be assigned to city streets by local militia and enforcement agencies, leaving our respective militiaries available for defense of our contested borders. These laws, ratified by the Senates of both the Galactic Alliance and the Commonwealth, should help guard against those who wish to do us harm from within. Please cooperate with all authorities and understand that it is for your protection.

In the light of this statement, which was released by a military spokesperson for the Coalition yesterday, several of the accused clandestine agents for the Ascendancy have been charged by a military court martial on acts of foreign terrorism. Just one of the Chiss males held under suspicion of being a spy is being released without charge, another spokesperson for the Galactic Alliance has admitted. This announcement arrives just ahead of the one-cycle detention limit under current anti-terror legislation. No further details regarding the still-unnamed suspect’s release have been revealed.

Undoubtedly, this will lead to calls for an extension to the current one-cycle detention laws, with vocal advocates on both sides of the argument already resuming their campaigns. With the lack of concrete details, we can only speculate at this point.
