JEDI HoloNet

The Jedi Temple

While Maloush Paroveid sits in imprisonment, the controversy surrounding the ancient institution continues as the Jedi Order has made headline news once again. This time, we must ask ourselves, “Are we safe?”. Jedi are hailed as the Guardians of the Galaxy, but we must all stop and consider whether we are truly safe in their hands or whether we are merely puppets to their will. That’s right. We learned of an incident earlier this cycle that quite frankly took us all here at GHN by surprise. Our field reporter Cral Wintres relives the moment on Corellia that he claims changed his life forever.

Following the stunning success of the Wookiee blockade against Trandoshan forces, rapid talks of peace began to thunder in the chambers of the Senate on Coruscant before more action would occur. Despite the passion of the politicians to end this conflict as soon as possible, a problem lay in the number of proposals, which ultimately led to a failure to come to a middle ground before a second invasionary force was sent from Trandosha.

Though smaller in size compared to its predecessor, the Trandoshan fleet was minutely less formidable. By learning from their tactical mistakes in the past, the maneuvering was more successful on the part of the Trandoshans. Even still, the Wookiee blockade remained stalwart in its defenses, reluctant to give any space to their enemy. However, the decisive variable of the battle would not be found in space, but rather on the earth of Kashyyyk itself.

From Emperor Palpatine to Darth Rishi, many atrocities have been committed in the galaxy by the hands of Jedi. Despite the rising favor the Jedi have garnered with the public in recent years, and their message of justice and pacifism propagated by the Order’s higher ups, heinous acts still regularly occur at the hands of the “chosen ones.”

Trandoshan Forces Fail to Break The Wookiee Blockade

As expected, the government of Trandosha took little time to send a large invasion force towards Kashyyyk following the failed flails at diplomacy earlier in the cycle. With seven capital-class ships anchoring the impressive fleet of hundreds of fighters and frigates, the Wookiee world was facing more than terrible odds in its chance to defend itself from the inevitable attack. Forming a defensive blockade half the size of the invading force, Kashyyyk was all but living on a humble prayer for victory.

What was not expected however was the subsequent defeat of the Trandoshan fleet and its retreat back home. Amazingly, the numerically inferior Wookiee blockade out-strategized the attackers with reported wise maneuvering. Unable to break through the defenses, the Trandoshan fleet soon found itself vulnerable, as the flanks of capital ships became exposed. Following the loss of two of those ships, an order of retreat was given out, as every single Trandoshan ship turned back in defeat.

With an unlikely pause of warfare this early in the conflict, the Senate Chambers on Coruscant are bustling with talks on how to swiftly end the conflict before further clashes occur. Though both Senators from Kashyyyk and Trandosha are keen to come out of this cleanly, their home governments hold more animosity towards each other, effectively making a potential solution hard to obtain. Stay tuned as new developments arise.

Negotiations on Kashyyyk have failed perhaps inevitably, as blood has been drawn following a short skirmish with both sides participating. Reports state that talks were ceased following a proposition agreed upon by all participants to settle the conflict through a duel of honor. Curiously, the battle was between Representative Narachkt of Trandosha and one of the unnamed Jedi diplomats, rather than including a representative of the Wookiees. As this is but one present curiosity among many, and that we are relying purely on the military release, we do not seek to explain the occurrence.

What we do know however are the results of combat. With dozens dead on both sides, the Wookiees managed to drive the contingent of Trandoshans from the beachhead, leading to an ultimate retreat by the temporarily defeated. Representative Randaar of Kashyyyk escaped injury along with one Jedi, while the other suffered several gruesome injuries from the fight, though none serious enough to take life. The only casualty on the side of the Galactic Alliance was 1Lt Vex Averin, whose death is said to have been caused by crossfire. Lieutenant Averin was regarded by one Jedi to have done all he could to prevent bloodshed, though he ultimately failed in doing so.

Federal troops have withdrawn back to Commenor in anticipation of a larger invasion of Kashyyyk forwarded by Trandoshan forces. It seems the Galaxy will have to watch and wait to see the results of this unfortunate conflict between two formerly-allied systems, as blame currently lies on fate.
