Breaking news, representatives from the leading body of the commonwealth have started arriving on Coruscant, to attend a meeting with Chief Of State Malucia, regarding their possible reintroduction to the Senate and ultimately the Galactic Alliance itself. Most of the questions hinge on what the systems will be guaranteed in terms of power and rights within the Senate, something which has been sending the Senate into a frenzy of debate.

It’s believed that they wish to have some involvement with the restructuring of the Senate offices, currently underway, but also a share of the political responsibilities considering the investments and contributions they will be making consistently, to the Alliance, as part of the push for economic growth and  to re-establish a larger military force. Our political experts are claiming that they may be granted a seat on the Advisory Council in as a official ‘hand shake’ in acceptance of the proposals, but this could see a complete overhaul of the current political set up but prove a real positive for growth in resources.

Should the Chief Of State be successful in her talks with the Commonwealth leaders, a public address is expected for confirmation of these changes.

We will keep you updated with the latest, as yet another historic moment could well be witnessed.

Rumours have been proven correct today, as announcements were made that newly elected Chief of State Malucia, along side Senator Asujin Tirahimo, made a visit to the Capital of Naboo to meet with some of the representatives of the Former Commonwealth Government, that surrendered under heavy pressure from the Ascendancy invasion. Suggestions are being made that the talks were to keep or improve relations between that of the Galactic Alliance and the Commonwealth systems which formed out of necessity during the War. However, whispers are being heard that Malucia has revealed plans to the Commonwealth representatives regarding a possible reintroduction to the Galactic Alliance in a bid to work with, and aid them, in bringing stability to the planetary systems that suffered from the War.

This could be viewed as a brave but clever move by the newly elected leader or one born out of arrogance which could now see the past fragile relationship flare up again effectively ruining the chances of rekindling any sort of relations with the former commonwealth government.

We will keep you posted as the talks continue.

You join us live in Coruscant for the latest on the election of a new Chief Of State… where we can now confirm that, yes, Ithorian Senator, Malucia of Borao, has won the election by majority vote and she is now elected into Office as the new Chief Of State.

In what seemed like a surge of activity and attention in the Senate has now turned into actual confirmation as we finally have a new, officially elected, Chief Of State to take over from Admiral Wilkinson.

We now go over live as she addresses the public, waiting to catch a glimpse of the new Chief Of State;

“It is without saying the greatest honor to take this position and I am greatful that even though we face a long, slow and hard struggle to not only rebuild our economy and military, but ourselves morally. The desire to do right by our people is as strong as ever and everyone I have discussed the strategy for rebuilding with has shared, showed me that from this day, a change is coming.

This change will come from ourselves, it will see us recover and grow after our dealings with adversary but in a positive, transcending light.

I would like to thank everyone for this opportunity.”

Breaking news from the Senate, we are hearing that substantial progress is being made in the election of a new Chief Of State after what has surely been one of the longest periods of time in which the position has been vacant. Ithorian Senator, Malucia from Borao, has been tipped to secure the position as Chief Of State after impressing with her ideas on how best to deal with the current galactic affairs as well as her mandates in stabilising the economy.

However, initial concerns were raised about her lack of military knowledge in relation to the much depleted Alliance forces since the invasion of Ascendancy space. The Ithorian senator was quick to address these concerns however, by securing both Admiral Wilkinson and Senator Asujin Tirahimo of Atrisia, as military advisors in a new look office who would oversee the rebuilding and growth of the Alliance Forces. This move came under sever scrutiny from a group of Senators who were not confident that the partnership would last, but since Senator Tirahimo took to the stage to explain what was actually discussed with the Senator Malucia, some of those voices were silenced. In a simplistic form, the two senators depicted a growth in both jobs, spending in both the public and business sector and military budget increases that would not hinder the current economic climate but admitted that it would be a slow process.

With more and more confidence being placed in these ideals, some of which are said to just be pressure to settle the matter of the Chief Of State election, an official announcement may not be a long way off.

We will be waiting to deliver the latest news from Coruscant, as soon as we have more.

The hastily dispatched Senatorial Supply Convoy aiming to assist residents of Tatooine by delivering much needed supplies was interdicted and attacked by unidentified ships on the Corellian Run between Druckenwell and their destination.

According to official reports, the unidentified fleet was able to take the largely undefended convoy by surprise through use of an Interdiction field- a military grade technology used to produce artificial gravity wells in order to prevent the use of Hyperspace or draw ships from Hyperspace into real-space. Before being boarded the freighter convoy managed to report the attack and the hull number of a single assailant, but the nearest Alliance security force was located in orbit around Corellia and arrived only in time to be greeted by a debris field.

The freighter convoy is assumed to be lost with all hands. Scanning the remains of the ships comfirmed that the attackers had looted the weapons and ammunition that was meant for Tatooine’s defense.

An Alliance spokesman had this to say on release of the news regarding the attack;

“The incident is a tragic, painful, and brutal reminder of the dangers that Outer Rim space hold for the honest efforts of the Alliance, private business, and the average citizen space-farer. Currently it is our belief that mercenary corsairs are behind the attack. Perhaps mistakes were made in hastily extending a hand of assistance to a dangerous region of space, but the extension of that hand is by no means a mistake and we will make certain of the success of our mission. These opportunists, that show little regard for life and peace, will answer for their crimes against the Alliance and the citizens of Tatooine.”

A crime against the citizens of Tatooine indeed, as the desperate defense force now has to wait even longer for much needed relief. The Galactic Alliance Navy pledges support to any further supply convoys bound for Tatooine in order to ensure that the next group these pirates web may be more than they bargain for. Recent events leave us wondering whether the future of Tatooine belongs not to us, but to its mysterious and marauding natives.

On a related note, Alliance officials have recommended civilian space traffic set courses to steer clear of the Corellian run between Druckenwell and Ryloth for the time being. Naval patrols and officials are on the lookout for an unnamed ship with the following Hull Number: HCC-334.

Planetary governments of Ryloth, Melida/Daan, and Alzoc III are advised to maintain a watchful eye as their planets have become a favorite entry point for stolen goods into the black market.
