San Hill VII Resigns after Galactic Credit plummets.

For the first time in over a century, the Galactic Credit is down by more than 8 Percent. The unprecedented fall, at 15 Percent, could cost many financial district workers their jobs. The senior partner at The Bank of Coruscant,  Mr San Hill VII from Muunilist, has resigned after issuing the following public apology;

Some serious mistakes have been made over the last five years that have lead to this difficult situation. Many of those mistakes were made under my watch. I have no excuses but hope that in time, history will tell both sides of the story and recognise that these mistakes were made under exceptionally difficult circumstances. That is all.

Podrace's such as the Boonta Eve Classic could return in the near future.

Podracing had been a popular sport in many less-developed worlds across the galaxy, particularly in the outer rim before it faced its ban so long ago. The dangerous sport was outlawed shortly before the outbreak of the Clone Wars due to its extremely high level of risk to the racers’ involved. Many of the popular racers of the time were taken into custody for a number of crimes also leading to the sports downfall in popularity.

261.17 // Jared Quell, Jedi Master

YAVIN IV — By the will of the Jedi Council and the Force, Jedi Knight and Council Advisor Jared Quell was granted the title of Jedi Master on 261.16. He has now been recognized by the Council of Masters as a fellow Jedi Master, due to his many years of service and commitment to the Order and by his actions, to the galaxy at large.

Jedi Master Quell trained as a Padawan Learner under the reputable training of fellow Jedi Master Gabe Alkorda and has since held the title of Jedi Knight. Master Quell dutifully served the Order as a faithful Knight, training several Padawan Learners, including Syrena Exan, a Falleen Jedi Knight and his first pupil. His work as a scholar and a teacher within the Order have proven invaluable during this time. He also served as a diplomat in several key conflicts, specifically the recent CW/GA Secessionary War in the late 240s ABY, aiding the Galactic Alliance and Commonwealth to ease tensions and ultimately achieve a resolution, bringing the war to a close.

On behalf of the Jedi Order, congratulations are due to the new Jedi Master Jared Quell.

The Economy, rejuvenation projects and galactic security were at the top of the senates agenda this conference after the recent pressures from the Bothan Sector and Ithorians had featured so prominently in Galactic News. The Bothans, still heavily critical of the Late Megana Tin’s revolutionary economic policies had expressed a growing disenchantment with the direction of the GA in wake of Military cutbacks. The Chief of State Benjamin Dama remained stoical as he continued to adhere to Tin’s financial plans and has continued to pour money into education and urban redevelopments across the Galaxy despite the barks of his critics.
