JEDI HoloNet

As Galactic political entities still recover from the recent War, the Mining Guild has been exploring alternative solutions to keeping up with the growing demand of raw materials and fuel. One of the most notable was forcibly retiring the Guild’s CEO and allowing the vacancy to be filled by Decium Tiro, a veteran executive of the organization.

In the past, Tiro has stated his displeasure with the Guild’s apparent lack of prioritization on potential profit centers across the Galaxy and plans to introduce a multitude of changes to the Mining Guild that will allow for the company to keep pace with the demand of the Galaxy. Analysts agree that change is definitely necessary as the Guild has just been barely able to scrape along in fulfilling Tibanna orders of major Galactic centers. Some say the change is coming just in time in order to prevent the cost of fuel rising for the average Galactic citizen spacefarer or atmospheric commuter.

Others, however, are not so pleased with how the Guild plans to continue business. Shortly after taking the office of Chief Executive, Tiro was questioned by a representative from an independant HoloNews network who wanted to know if by “selling these raw materials to any and all sides of political lines the Guild is not only facilitating growing demand but also a future war.” To this the CEO had a simple reply,

“It’s true that the materials extracted and refined by the hard working men and women of the Mining Guild could be used for military applications. However we can’t allow this hypothetical to paralyze our movement in the Galactic marketplace. Our products could just as easily be used to build a state of the art medical facility for children. We are more selective than we appear about who we sell to. But in this time of recovery we won’t hesitate to play our part in patching war wounds that still require tending to.”

Where the new CEO plans to take the Guild is still relatively secretive, but it is good to hear that the steady stream of resources will continue to flow, heating our homes and fueling our vehicles.

A series of robberies in the Alzoc III Capital have been officially linked together in a report released publicly by the Alzoc Security Force. Renowned crime profilers and forensics have compiled their findings to reveal the crimes were connected; though specifics have not yet been released.

The most troubling element of the report, experts say, is the stock local vendors described missing after the robberies were carried out. The report seems to consider the possibility that profit was not the aim of the illusive thieves and instead suggests the stolen materials could be used in a home-explosive operation. When questioned further about this, the Alzoc Security Force refused to comment further, claiming everything they wished to say was already outlined in their report.

Residents of the Capital are extremely dissatisfied with the lack of information released despite the major implications of an imminent terror attack, however the tension among vendor owners has eased considering the robberies have seemingly ceased for the time being.

Galactic News correspondents in the Outer Rim Territories are making reports of a skirmish between elements of the Mandalorian military and the Telos Sector Defense Fleet. Telosian Security Forces originally deployed in response to an exchange of turbolaser fire between unidentified vessels operating along the Northern borders of their sector. Upon arrival they discovered a small Mandalorian naval detachment engaged with a group of starships believed to be involved in acts of piracy.

Disregarding commands to withdraw and ignoring warning shots issued from the Telosian fleet, the Mandalorian vessels held their position.  After final calls to surrender, the Mandalorian warships opened fire on the Telosian Security Force before withdrawing back to Mandalorian space.

The Senate has called for an emergency meeting to discuss the escalating problems with the Mandalorians, as well as possible solutions. It is also reported that representatives of the Jedi Order have been called on to assist the Senate in this delicate time.

Portrait of Kai-Munn Vill painted at the conclusion of the Attrition War

Jedi Master, Kai-Munn Vill, became one with the Force recently due to natural causes. Jedi Master Kai-Munn Vill was the respected Battlemaster of the Ossus Temple. He was known as the ”The Sapphire Blur” during the time of the war, entitled by Master Phoe Nhix for being among the fastest Jedi of this era, in addition to his unforgettable sapphire lightsaber blade that made the enemy take a step back before approaching him. He was known to be cunning, ambitious, and an incomparable mentor. After the Attrition War, he was recognized for his skill and valor, thus, he was given the title of Battlemaster by the Head Battlemaster on Coruscant. The Head Battlemaster gave him the sacred duty of protecting the Ossus Temple and teaching the new generation on how to wield a lightsaber. In remembrance, there will be a ceremony held soon in his honor in the Temple of Ossus.

 
In the early hours of yesterday morning, the Capital’s Sky-Rail was engulfed by a fuel-fed explosion which hurled it from the repulsorlift line. A small comfort can be found due to the time at which this incident occurred, as the trade district itself had not yet begun business hours. Despite this, numerous transports have been making their way to local medcenters carrying the bodies of men, women and children injured in the resulting damages.

Although refusing to reveal an exact figure in relation to the causality toll, in response to this catastrophe Chief of Alzoc Security Ikto Lón had this to say,

“Our main objective right now lies with the survivors. Helping who we can, and getting to the bottom of this whole incident. Time is of the essence.”

The Trade District and several surrounding areas have been closed to public access until further notice while rescue and investigation operations are in effect. AlzocSec has given no estimated time in which the areas surrounding the site of the Sky-Rail’s fall will reopen to the public.

Officials also advise anyone who has been exposed to any fallout from the blast to seek medical aid immediately. Medical help is available in any surrounding district at temporary triage clinics and local medcenters. Approach any ASF officer for assistance.

Though the first concern of this HoloNews Network is with those injured and the families of those lost in the crash, it is important to note that the trade district being hit will certainly affect the municipal, and thus, the planetary economic sector. With no foreseeable end to the quarantine in sight it remains a mystery when the cog of commerce will begin to turn again in the Capital.
