JEDI HoloNet

Following the conclusion of talks, officials announced today that Yutan will accept refugees from neighboring Belovia on a much larger scale than in recent cycles. The news comes in the wake of significant climate changes on Belovia which some are calling a new Ice Age, making vast areas of the planet uninhabitable.

The agreement was stalled by further research being conducted, as well as cultural hurdles. However, intervention by the Republic and other organizations has at last allowed for an agreement to be made, with significant subsidies to be donated to Yutan to aid in the relief effort.

With the news, many stranded Belovian communities are now able to move offworld, escaping below freezing temperatures, earthquakes and contaminated natural water supplies. Those in the region have called the operation a huge success, but acknowledge that there are still many more steps to be taken in the future.

Following a statement earlier today, it was confirmed that a small but notable group of systems on the Hydian Way have officially seceded from the Republic, in a new alliance calling itself the Hynah Directive. A corresponding statement, released by the systems involved, condemned Republic indifference towards the region during the Imperium War, as well as dwindling supplies.

Though it is unprecedented for such a small number of systems to secede, the Hynah Directive joins several other independent clusters, such as the Hapes Consortium and the historic Serex-Juvex sectors. Though technically residing within Republic controlled space, the systems in the new territory are exempt from senatorial law.

With the news, many are speculating the terms of the agreement, raising concerns that the independent systems control the central section of the Hydian Way, potentially breaking trade routes between the Core and northern systems. However, the discussions have remained peaceful and many import and export bans have already been lifted in the region.

All Republic announcements have remained confident that this issue will be resolved and returned to normal before long. Many neighboring systems in the region are currently in talks to decide whether to join the Hynah Directive or remain with the Republic.

If you don’t live on the Hydian Way, you’d be forgiven if today’s news comes as a surprise. With the war against the Imperium coming to an end after nearly a decade, a small group of systems on the boundary between Republic and previously Imperium territory have been threatening secession, citing Republic negligence during the conflict. Whilst a peaceful and localized movement, the close of negotiations today will most likely accelerate the process.

The Senate has issued a statement concluding that whilst the secession has not been officially recognized, it will continue to work to prevent any future breakaway, however small, in these uncertain times and promises that trade will not be affected. Despite this claim, many galactic corporations have already begun to withdraw major operations from the area.

As of yet, the group of systems have not released any formal statement, though one is expected in coming cycles.

What scientists have been speculating for centuries may finally be coming true on the planet of Belovia, Expansion Region. Whilst the climate and topography has been changing for a significant number of years, new research from a variety of different stations indicates that Belovia is on the tipping point of entering an Ice Age.

Although the Belovians and the permanently established offworld citizens have been dealing with below freezing temperatures for generations, an Ice Age would render the planet near uninhabitable, as thick ice sheets spread across the terrain and many bodies of water.

With the news, many communities are making the tough decision to relocate to the equator or leave Belovia entirely. In a session earlier this cycle, the Senate agreed to send Republic military personnel and specialists to Belovia to assist the local populations, as well as conduct further research.

As of yet, scientific reports cannot agree on how long the Ice Age would last, or even what impact it would leave.

Just a few cycles after the death of Senator Huein, new evidence has come to light, suggesting that the incident with extremist group Kijinx was more than a simple kidnapping and hostage situation.

The brother of recently named Kijinx member Yulin Carren, Alisha Carrin, turned a datapad recovered from Yulin’s former place of residence over to local law enforcement. The evidence on the device suggests that Yulin and Senator Huein knew each other before the kidnapping event. They had been friends for a long period of time, meeting at one of Huein’s conferences where Yulin was an aide.

From there they devised a plot in order to make a bounty of credits, insinuating that Senator Huein was not the man that Corellia believed him to be. Instead, Huein used his position as a tool of misjustice and personal gain for years. The final ‘heist’ was to have Huein pose as a captive of Kijinx, while Yulin led the operation of extortion of the authorities on Corellia.

It has been confirmed that none of the Kijinx members aside from Yulin himself were in on the deal that he and Huein struck. Speculations suggests that the other members genuinely believed in the extreme resistance and revolutionary movement. Due to the unnatural circumstances of this case, Alisha has decided to donate all former possessions of Yulin to a local charity in order to help repay the travesty that his brother had made.

Elections will soon be held to elect a new senator in place of Huein, may they represent Corellia far better than Huein ever did.
