Thanks to the efforts of Master Kara Yelay of the Arkanian Enclave, a number of historical documents pertaining to the Order’s relationship with the Miralukan Luka Sene tradition have been uncovered and are under study at the Alzoc III Enclave. We have not recieved word yet from the Luka Sene Administrators as to the long-term home for these documents, but we will cooperate fully with their requests in the upcoming months so that we can maintain good relations with them.

Those interested in additional study and information regarding these items should contact Knight Azra’elre’nim or Knight Aslyn Denethorn, resident archivists of the Alzoc III Enclave, who are spearheading research and chronicling of these important documents.

Kuat Drive Yards is on the lookout for an Aqualish male after being the victim of sabotoge earlier this afternoon. Seventeen dock workers are listed as being in critical condition after an orbital construction frame was set on a collision course into one of Kuat’s orbital shipyards, compromising environmental integrity and causing several billion credits worth of damage to the incomplete ship and the shipyard’s support frames.

Thanks to expedient actions on behalf of support crews, the shipyard’s geosynchronous orbit was adjusted and brought back to stable conditions within the hour. Recovery and relief efforts were further expedited upon the arrival of Jedi Master Jared Quell, who proceeded to oversee evacuation of the injured construction teams. Master Quell, long-time friend of the family-owned and operated Drive Yards, was not available for interview, but did help officials confirm the ‘destructive intentions’ of the saboteur, ruling out the possibility of technical error on behalf of the company.

Security officials are now circulating the above composite sketch of the infiltrator, characterized by an over-sized right tusk and un-characteristicly calm demeanor. Any information leading to the arrest of this individual should be reported immediately to Galactic Alliance security.

It is with great sobriety and humble repose that we announce the passing of Jedi Master Mardus Jeul.

Mardus-Tol Jeul, better known as ‘Master Mardie’ among his close friends and associates, has spent the last seventy-six years of his life residing at and re-building the Arkanian Enclave. He became one with the Force on 295.13 in his personal chambers, as witnessed by his students and peers.

Master Jeul was born on 191.02 at Iziz city on Onderon to the captain of the Paladins and his wife. He was adopted into our Order at the age of three when he demonstrated to be remarkably adept at sensing the Force in various beings. This often led to him being accused of cheating in childhood games of hide-and-go-seek with his Padawan clan. At the age of eight he was taken by Jedi Master Nagu Ponst, and after a tumultuous thirteen-year apprentiship, was granted the title of Jedi Knight just one hour before his twenty-first birthday.

 As a Jedi Knight, Mardus-Tol Jeul was an avid and constantly engaged mediator; often working with the likes of respected diplomats such as Senator Tinlu, Jedi Master Vos Desu, and General Lon Stazi. After seven years of active work in the field, he announced his intent to re-build the walls of the Arkanian Praxeum. After only three years of labor, assisted by his then-Padawan Kara Yelay, he managed to rebuild the humble Enclave into a place of meditation and study that would go on to establish itself as a central hub of Jedi research in the fields of medicine and the healing arts. He would later go on to study and investigate the relation between these two, assisting the likes of Jedi Knight Coren Ran in establishing many of the practices now in use today by the Circle of Healers.

Though his knowledge of the healing arts easily out-paced his skills at their use, Knight Jeul’s communication skills were un-paralleled among his peers, making him the fitting choice to spearhead the High Council’s reforming of the Jedi MediCorps. In 245 ABY, after what he would later call a ‘brief, but entertaining decade’ in that position, he was bestowed with the title of Jedi Master; both in recognition for his service to the the Order, and to the greater goodness, health, and well-being of the galaxy.

Master Jeol was characterized by his incredible capacity for kindness, as well as his pervasively friendly demeanor; never failing to make any individual feel welcomed or wanted. By the end of the cycle, his lightsaber and holocron will arrive on Coruscant, and will be added to the Archives here. He is succeeded by Master Eolk Trenthz on the Jedi High Council who will also take over his duties as overseer of the Medicorps.

Representatives from Skye Systems claim that a Senior Technician of theirs died in a speeder accident at the capital. The speeder was seen traveling North through the East Sector late in the afternoon.

Security suggested that the facial recognition systems placed around the city for use in criminal justice were purposed with finding the doctor by staff records after he missed a mandatory department meeting. A representative with security suggests that the records were not conclusive and that their department has been unable to confirm the actual state of the Doctor at this time.

Skye Systems has been an important actor in many local projects on Alzoc 3 by pumping money into the economy in the form of using local sites for research and development. Galactic Alliance representatives suggested that the allegations of a rift between Skye Systems and Local Security were exaggerated and that relations only soured as a sense of competitiveness.

Rumors suggest that local interests have also necessitated the recruitment of the Jedi Order in establishing an understanding firsthand of the Doctor’s disappearance. Doctor Leen’s personal records and Holonet information have been removed from public access as of tonight and Skye assures that an autopsy will be completed and provided to confirm Leen’s death as a result of the incident.

Security Chief Ikto Lon was not available for comment.

Wide-ranging governmental reform on New Alderaaan has reached an impasse following fierce debate over the proposal of reintroducing a monarchy to the planet.

Once a settlement founded by survivors of Alderaan’s destruction in 0ABY, the planet, now with a population of 5 million, has seen a resurrection of old Alderaanian traditions and customs in the past decade, with the monarchy representing the pinnacle of the process. New Alderaan is currently governed by the Alderaanian Council, comprised of more than a hundred elected officials, the future of which is under heavy discussion.

The pro-monarchy movement has a significant following among the New Alderaanian population, but it remains to be decided who, if any, should sit on a New Alderaanian throne. Positioning themselves as candidates are members of the Antilles, Omas, Panteer and Organa families, each commanding a great deal of support among the people.

With the sparse numbers of survivors of Alderaan’s destruction, the legitimacy of these bloodlines has been called into question, particularly that of the Organa family whose link to the original bloodline, Leia Organa-Solo, was in fact adopted.

There is also strong support for those campaigning for an elected monarchy, similar to the former Commonwealth world of Naboo, as well as external intervention from the Galactic Alliance, though opposition to ‘outside meddling’ as it’s been called has been frowned upon.

Of note, leading members of the Panteer family have voiced opposition to GA intervention, holding that, “This is an internal affair, and an important step in re-establishing the sovereignty of Alderaan.”

It remains uncertain if and when a decision on the matter will be made, but this is an issue that the people of New Alderaan will not let go of easily. We will keep you updated as more comes in…

Now, we go over to Runson Tip with the lastest in sports…

“This is Runson Tip, reporting to you live with the GHN news team just outside the Blastech Convention Center here on Coruscant, bringing you the latest updates for this, the four-hundredth annual Galactic Series of Sabacc. I’m standing here with a literal living Corellian Sabacc legend, Getton Antillies. Getton, why don’t you tell us a little about why this event is so important?”

“Well Runson, the Galactic Series of Sabacc is turning four-hundred years old this year, and is making one hell of a comeback by doing so. For the better part of the conflict with the Ascendancy, the event was for the most part ignored, and several years, abandoned all together. Another suitable host planet was found on several occasions, but the fighting was just too much for most of the players to attend. This year we’ve opened up the field to allow for amateur, as well as professionals enter into the field.”

“Speaking of, with all the mixed levels of play, aren’t you….wait, wait, this just in, I’m receiving word that the envoy for the Ascendancy team of players has just made it through customs. There was a lot of speculation about their involvement, particularly so soon after the cease-fire, what’s your take on this Getton?”

“I don’t think the Galactic Alliance has much to worry about at the Convention Center. Ever weary of cheaters, the Board has enlisted the help of Jedi Master’s Phoe Nhix and Eolk Trenthz, to help monitor the event and alert security of any foul play.”

“There’s no concern of any foul play on behalf of the Jedi?”

“None whatsoever, the pot winnings are going towards rebuilding and resuscitation of war-torn families and worlds. There will be a winner, with a prize and notable glory attached, but the focus of this year’s event is on rebuilding relations with war-weary friends and neighbors in the simplest way possible; order up a cold ale and deal another hand of cards!”

“Well said Getton. Getton Antillies here with the Galactic Series of Sabacc, I’m Runson Tip, back to you at the GHN studios.”

Thank you Runson.

That is the lastest for today from us at the GHN, I’m Ular Tenn.
