JEDI HoloNet

Recently in galactic news..

Republic listening stations have recently reported sighting an Imperial battle-fleet crossing the Republics borders. While this would ordinarily signal an invasion on the Empires part, the stations report having lost sight of the armada as it was heading westward into the Unknown Regions. Both the Council of Grand Moffs and the Emperor himself refuse to comment.

Negotiations between Republic diplomats and Mandalorian clan leaders could potentially be drawing to a close, according to inside sources. While nothing is certain about what has been discussed over the past few years of talks, it is rumoured that a place in the Republic Senate may be offered to this infamously independent of worlds. As usual both the current Mandalore as well as his chieftains are tight-lipped for now, as is the Republic Senate.

Referendums are expected in the coming cycles on the worlds of Ord Biniir and Ord Canfre as the peoples of both worlds decide on whether they want to secede from the Republic and formally join the Empire. Apparently the falling standards of the economy in the region as well as increasing levels of piracy are causing the governments of both worlds to look for, as they put it, ‘more secure and determined alternatives to a collection of high-class, disconnected senators living on Coruscant.’

Congratulations to all, and may you find wisdom from your instructors and friendship from your peers.

Early this morning, heavily armed men executed a robbery on one of Coronet’s major banking and loan centers with a lightsaber-wielder reportedly leading the band.

We were able to acquire this statement from one of the bank tellers who was in transit to being processed by local authorities:

“I was in mid discussion with a client when a substantial chunk of the bank was blown right off! Everyone dropped to the floor and it wasn’t long before four men, one of which was a Jedi I think, broke into the bank through the rubble! He was  holding one of those colorful swords the Jedi are known for. Lightsabers, I believe?

A fight broke out. The man with the lightsaber blocked incoming shots as he charged and eventually cut several guards right down, before his accomplices blasted down the rest!

Soon after, one of the robbers held one of my colleagues at gun point, ordering her to shut down the security system to the vault or he’d take her out! She complied, and by doing that these thugs were able to gain access to everything that was held in the vault.

They took a only small amount of what was in there, but it was all worth substantial credits nonetheless. They knew CorSec would be coming in on them soon. They left the scene, and well… that’s the last I saw of them! CorSec came charging in several minutes later, but it was already too late. The Jedi and his cohorts made off with our client’s credits.

At least most of us are alive, right?”

Coronet is currently on high security alert until these men are caught.

Neither CorSec or the Jedi Order have released any statement on the matter as of yet; however, it is believed (although not presently confirmed) that CorSec is deliberating with the Jedi Order on the case.

Is this yet another example of Jedi negligence in regard to keeping track of those who leave their Order? You decide.

Hoping to keep the Galaxy informed, this is Ular Tenn…

Signing off.

As issues for the Republic continue to accumulate, a recent warning to wayfarers of Republic space was issued regarding one of two home worlds to the Zabraki culture, Iridonia. While the planet and its people are often described as an introverted race, Republic Naval Officials today announced its controversial move to establish a temporary blockade around the system that will act as a military picket line, regulating relief supplies entering the system and ensuring no materials are sent down that could potentially fuel the conflict. With information concerning casualties limited, there has been confirmation that the Shar’Vintash clan was wiped out completely. There were no known survivors, making them the first major loss in the confrontation.

Four other larger clans are known to the region; those of the Be’Tominyet, the Ul’Narit, the Rak’Slaret and the Tul’Vyi. During the senatorial meeting earlier today in which the incident was brought to public light, it was made clear that the situation on Iridonia is becoming an ever growing problem. With the conflict not showing signs of subsiding, trade routes between the four warring parties have become the cause of further aggression rather than co-operation.

The Officer of the Republic’s Naval Operation over Iridonia, Lexther Rom, has urged all traversing the system to steer clear of Iridonia in his public statement: “Until tensions ease we cannot emphasize enough the dangers caused by the instability in the region. If you can, stay away.”

With strict sanctions placed on those entering Iridonia, the planet’s economy faces a catastrophic decline that experts say will take a generation to repair.

Unusual news out of the Capital today, as a gang of Talz based in the Esk Borough of the city have offered an ultimatum: for all Humans and their genetic cousins to leave the planet immediately or face deadly consequences.

The farfetched demand comes without any prior notoriety on the part of the Talz gang, which is known as the “Homeland Esks” to local authorities. Up to this point, the gang, which consists of no more than two dozen individuals and has historically operated in relative seclusion, has been responsible for crimes no more heinous than petty theft. However, it appears that there has been a sudden change of focus, as the Esks may be seeking legitimacy amid plans by the Capital to completely renovate the borough, which would result in the temporary displacing of its residents—including the Esks.

In response to the issued threat, Captain Elros Khien of the Alzoc Security Forces assured citizens that there was little for them to fear: “In spite of the bravado, the Homeland Esks are no more than minor criminals whose pride has been upset by the loss of their claimed territory. Human and Near-Human citizens have nothing to fear for their safety and well-being, as we have deployed a supplementary unit of peace-keeping droids with a supervisory officer in the area to ensure no harm comes to any individual. Furthermore, the City Council has requested that I reiterate public knowledge that relations between the Alzoc government and the native Talz population remain friendly and co-operative as always.”

In conjunction with the press conference, the A.S.F issued a warrant of arrest for Oerl Tan, the leader of the Homeland Esks who is suspected of having issued the public threat. He is reported to have dyed, red fur on his head as a distinguishing marker. If you happen to see Mister Tan, please take appropriate action and alert the A.S.F. immediately.
