JEDI HoloNet

Greetings, Residents,

The Jedi Council would like to offer their congratulations to Aren Kelpor and Minoda Darkrider, both of whom have served the Order with distinction in recent times, largely on their own initiative, and have therefore been elevated to the rank of Jedi Knight.

We wish them both the best for the future, and look forward to seeing them continue their service with the same excellence that marked their students years.

In an Immarra Capital News exclusive, we have forty-three confirmed civilian deaths in the Haranae settlement to the far west of the Calidi Badlands. It’s no surprise to the people of Rannon that to hear of crime in this region, however in the past ten years we have observed a notable decrease in criminal activity much to the credit and pleasure of CGR representative Din Khorta for Haranae.

The streets of Haranae are filling with the blood of its citizens, with every day people laying lifeless, leaving their family members with inconsolable grief.

Our on site correspondent had the chance today to speak with the grieving husband of Poliana Zebronah, a Zabrak woman who was gunned down by the so called ‘White Bantha’. “They walked among us, they bought our wares and drank in our cantina’s. We knew what they were, but things had been so quiet for so long that it was normalised. Their past acts were exactly that. In the past. We never thought in our wildest dreams that this kind of thing could happen to us.”

Walking the streets of Haranae today will have you witnessing walls scorched by blaster fire, pieces of infrastructure and sections of buildings brought into the main thoroughfare to act as shielding for many citizens to defend themselves, their families and their homes.

Various citizens told our news correspondents that they feel the White Bantha is responsible for the instability and poverty in the region and urge the CGR to take immediate action.

Inflated food prices in the aftermath of the war could trigger riots from those going hungry in poorer regions of Rannon, the leader of the Agricultural Union of Rannon has said.

In an interview with Immara Capital News, the Union Leader for the AUR expressed concern about the knock-on effects of the recent taxation increase on agricultural produce, stressing the dependence on these kinds of foods in order to prosper.

“I think we should be very concerned. The impact on food prices and hunger in the next two to three cycles could be substantial. Food and shipping are two of the biggest industries responsible for Rannon’s economic welfare. If everyday people cannot afford to eat or have their goods shipped then we could see its people fall into recession.”, Giza Sied said.

The union leader was strongly critical of the way the Cooperative Government of Rannon has handled the run-up to the situation, calling it “short-sighted” and “down right dangerous”.

The Union of Agriculture is in talks with the Jedi Order to assist farm owners in their time of need with most farmers we had interviewed feeling hopeful about their intervention. In the aftermath of the war, the general populace has seen no reduction in taxation, a concern for many. We reached out to the Cooperative Government of Rannon but they declined to comment.

Greetings, Residents,

With the end of the campaign against the Wyld Empire, and the formation of the League of Sovereign Systems, we can finally take opportunity to draw breath and take a moment to celebrate the peace that seems upon us, at least for the moment. We have witnessed chaos, sought to mitigate the damage this might bring, and have seen victories and experienced loss in this great conflict, and that makes it all the more important that we take the time to reflect on what we have experienced, but also to rejoice at making it through such dire times.

The Jedi Council would like to firstly celebrate the many new young Initiates who have been welcomed into the Order within recent months: Mako Kogane, Linton Dorrey, TyriaJab, Rizka Barrow, Ilya Gampassa, Victor Blackheart, Lars Killen, Dooroor Devadd and Patina Lawrelle. You all join the Order at a time of transition as we move out of the throes of war and into the emerging sunlight of a new, hard-won peace, and we can only hope that your time spent training among us will continue without the tempests of conflict to overshadow it. Your light will serve as a beacon to guide the Galaxy through whatever obstacles we may yet face as this new era dawns.

Similarly, we would like to welcome those who have come to join the Rannon branch from other Enclaves within the Order: Nath, Sivara Upalia and Vis now join our students in their studies, whilst Jedi Tsilla Salkyn, Rozea Lhot, Helayna Bray and Varlo Racktor have come to serve as their teachers, adding their experience and wisdom to our ranks. We welcome all of you, and are glad that you have chosen to join us here on Rannon. We hope you soon come to think of this place as much of a home as any you have known in the past.

Kind regards,

– The Jedi Council

Flag of the Newly Established “League of Sovereign Systems”

The engines of the E-wing squadron roared, a full squadron of three, followed by a second pass where one was gone. The blasters fired, a total of twenty-one times, an age-old salute to those who gave their lives defending the freedoms of others. A somber, traditional, pyre for the fallen Jedi who led the charge to protect those who could not defend themselves from the opening salvos of the war to the last operation of capturing the Emperor himself.

With a somber ceremony, we close a conflict that has claimed the lives and liberties of millions over the course of these last, long, ten cycles. During which, one of the central speakers was newly elected President Zebulon Pyke. Formerly a commander in the Republic Military, he renounced his commission early when Alzoc III was first surprised attacked as, at the time, the Republic had not yet committed to the conflict. He led almost every major operation, gaining popular support among the “Coalition of Freedom”, later the “Coalition of Free Planets”, and now, formally reorganized into the “League of Sovereign Systems”.

Consisting of four founding planets: Svivren which was voted the capitol, Skynara, Alzoc III, and Ryloth, these founding planets established a finalized constitution that inspired other planets to swiftly sign on and join. These systems include Suarbi, Drexel, and Dom-Bradden; planets who also suffered at the brutal occupation of the Wyld Empire.

Their common statement being as follows,

We, the people of Wild Space, for too long have maintained isolation from one another. Mutually, we all believed that our own sovereignty and independence was more important than our common national security. This last conflict has proven to us that our previous commitment to local seclusion from one another weakens us, rather than strengthens us. So, it is now that we commit to one another a promise to uphold our collective, mutual, sovereignty so that never again will we find ourselves alone against a tide of violence to fall one by one.

-President Zebulon Pyke

The League is already in negotiations with the Republic about striking a deal that would allow them to purchase mothballed ships in the Republic’s reserve fleets, retrofitted weapons platforms from bygone eras, that could serve as patrol fleets to ensure that the laws passed by the League congress are enforced properly to maintain security and peace in Wild Space as the region slowly begins to rebuild after this extended conflict.
