With the all of Dac and the seemingly poor status of the Outer Rim sieges, approval for the War of Attrition is at an all time low. Numbers in some interplanetary polls had the approval numbers of the war falling to around 46%, making it the first time since the start that support for the war has been under 50%.

Chief of State Caden Aquitenne, whose approval ratings are at an all time low himself, has announced that he will be making a public address concerning the war effort at the end of the cycle on Brentaal. According to a spokesperson from his office, there he hopes to unite the hearts and minds of the people of the Alliance in support for their men and women at arms and remind them what we are fighting for.

As many of us have many loved ones whom we will never see again thanks to the war, the Chief of State will really have his work cut out for him. Will our hearts be moved and minds be swayed by the legendary oratory skills that put Aquitenne into office to begin with? Or will this move simply be another failure of his tenure in office? Only time will tell.

“I’m with Rogue Squadron. Impossible is our stock in trade, and success is what we deliver.”
-Corran Horn

Courageous, masterful, unstoppable. These are only a few words used to describe the legendary fighting force known as Rogue Squadron.

Rogue Squadron was an elite Rebel Alliance starfighter squadron founded by Commander Arhul Narra, Luke Skywalker, and Wedge Antilles shortly after the Battle of Yavin from pilots who survived the assault on the first Death Star. Following their seemingly impossible victory at Yavin, Rogue Squadron played a key role during several engagements in the Galactic Civil War, serving as the primary defense squadron of the Alliance High Command.

Following the first death of Emperor Palpatine, the Rogues served the New Republic and Galactic Alliance in several critical campaigns, including the Liberation of Coruscant, the hunt for Ysanne Isard, the Yuuzhan Vong War and the Second Galactic Civil War.

Known for taking on missions that were seemingly impossible, throughout its time in existence its name struck fear into the hearts of their enemies, and inspired courage and bravery into the hearts of their allies.

But why does the past acts of the historic fighter squadron matter today?

A former leader of a notorious biker gang was today ordered to be held on trial on the morning of 286.31.

Toke “Sweet” Vergine faces attempted murder charges in the Sujimis Sector for shooting the former ‘Dark Tide Swoop Club’ president back in 283.

Vergine reportedly shot his rival, Marl “Casual” Flood, in the knee and stabbed him in the back on 283.30, on Orto Plutonia, because he wanted his job as president of the club back. Investigators later found Vergine late last year hiding in his mother’s house on Alzoc III it was reported.

Vergine was in court on Orto Plutonia after being extradited from Gloucester County, Alzoc III.

Vergine, a former Orto Plutonia Security officer was fired from his work in 257, after three years, for allegedly accepting bribes to protect an illegal gambling operation.

He adamantly denied the charges, which were later dropped to due lack of crucial evidence.

Breaking news from the war front. We have just received reports the planet Dac has finally fallen after years of sieges by the Mandalorian armada. GHN has received reports from military officials that Coalition forces were forced to surrender the world after  two sizable fleets from Dellalt and Munto Codru converged on the planet in the largest assault of the war.

A large number of Coalition forces on the planet were forced to surrender. Many more were killed trying to run the Mandalorian blockade in orbit of the planet.

However, a new shimmer of hope shines in the hearts of the Coalition. Though the beloved world has finally fallen, reports of Mandalorian casualties numbered in the tens of thousands. This is due to the brilliance of Jedi Commanders in combat, and the ingenious tactics of Admiral Siluriformes. Even the overwhelming numbers, firepower, and experience of the Mandalorian invasion force were not able to take the planet without heavy losses to both man and machine.

“Our planet is lost, and that is a tragedy,” Admiral Siluriformes said in a press conference earlier today. “But I believe that we can take heart even if the face of defeat. Based on the difficulty the Mandalorians had in taking our home, and vast amount of resources they poured into its conquest, and the substantial losses they took, this reveals that they are not invincible. On the contrary. They are very beatable. As long as we do not lose heart or sight of why we are fighting, I truly believe we can win this war yet!”

The Admiral, who survived the Battle of Mon Calamari despite being a high profile target, had his comments countered by a statement Mandalore released to the Alliance, in which he denounced the casualty numbers released by Coalition officials to be, “pointless propaganda.”

“The people of Mon Calamari may have been worthy adversaries, perhaps the finest warriors in the Alliance, but even they were no match for the iron fist of the Mandalorians! In the end, they took the cowards way and fled like everyone else. And then they have the gall to claim that we are beatable! That we have a weakness within us!

“We Mandalorians have no weakness! We are warriors to our core, and no force in the galaxy has the  power to stop us. Even the legendary Jedi tremble in fear at the sound of our names, and fall to the roars of our cannons. And so shall the rest of the Alliance fall, planet by planet, until the whole Coalition has been brought to their knees by our conquest!”

The Chief of State was not available for comment at this time, but an aide assured us he was “very busy determining the next course of action for the Alliance.”

We have just received word that the Mandalorian armada has advanced from Caluula into Alliance space, striking the worlds of Dellalt and Munto Codru simultaneously with precise timing. All Coalition military personnel have been forced to evacuate the worlds and fall back to Mon Calamari.

The fall of the two border worlds leaves Dac cut off and isolated from the rest of the Alliance. No one is getting out, no reinforcements are coming in. As the world of Mon Calamari faces what may be its darkest hour, the people of the Alliance join together in prayer for the people of Dac, and the protection of our fighting men and women defending it.

We here at the Galactic Holonews News Desk will keep you apprised of any further developments in this story.
