277.30 // Travel to Northern Commonwealth Territories Suspended, Galactic Alliance Reluctant to Send Military Aid
Commonwealth Warships Engaged in Battle
As the Commonwealth continues to receive a pummeling from assumed Chiss naval forces, hyperspace travel to the in-battled territory has all but been suspended due to the unpredictability of erupting battles within the region. Travel lines such as United Space and Trans-Galactic have complied with the warning issued by the Galactic Alliance to evade potential danger, further isolating Commonwealth citizens from the rest of the Galaxy.
While the Galactic Alliance has provided aid to the Commonwealth in the tracking of invading forces, it has nevertheless remained reluctant to provide military aid to the region, despite the imploring of Prime Minister Paol Selanne to receive help from the allied federation. While there has been no official reasoning for this decision to reserve troops, military and government analysts suggest that the on-going rebellion of Trandoshan forces on Kashyyyk may be causing the apparent inaction on the part of the Galactic Alliance.
The decision to reserve aid to the Commonwealth has at its best strained relations between the two major governments of the Galaxy, though Prime Minister Selanne remains confident that the Alliance will eventually realize the gravity of the situation and subsequently become more involved in the defense of the region. Galactic HoloNews received no further comment from either faction on the matter.
