339.16 // Declaration of War Announced
After the untimely and traumatic return of ”One Sith”, the attack on Arkania, and the Republic and Jedi Remnant operation to save the Empress, Republic dignitaries swiftly enacted a declaration of war, a unanimous vote within the Republic senate.
Earlier this morning after an inspiring speech by the Chief of State, Republic forces mobilized in mass from the core to one destination in mind, Imperial space. With the war nearing conclusion between Imperium and New Empire, and the fall of Bastion, it is likely the Empire will fall to the Sith Imperium in its entirety.
With that in mind, the Sith Imperium has mobilized into Republic space. Galactic Republic Intelligence Division or G.R.I.D confirmed the Imperium has annexed the systems of Narauan, Garq, Ord Biniir and Moltok and has now invaded Dantooine and Dubrillion. Dantooine only 75 percent evacuated at the time of the initial assault.
With the Jedi Order in ruins after the ”plague”, many question how the Republic will counteract Sith magic and brutality without the Force on their side.
The war council assured the Republic they’ll do everything in their power to countermeasure the Sith, while the Jedi pick up the pieces of their once glorious Order. To reaffirm that, the Republic have declared the Jedi Order a protectorate of the Republic, defending and aiding them at whatever monetary and physical cost until they are fully recovered; knowing well the advantages of their eventual presence in this particular war.
The Republic Chief of State Asujin Tirahimo delivered her declaration:
“Delegates of the Republic Senate,
As a student of history, we learn to learn from our past. Arguably, the past is just a lesson of the future. In this instance, we can learn from the darkness of our past; because there is darkness ahead. The threat of the Sith has returned.
Once again, they’ve killed to claim unjust rule over the people of this galaxy. Despite attempts of negotiations, they’ve resisted. So, we have no choice but to keep our promise.
The Republic is issuing a Declaration of War against the Sith Imperium. We are also announcing the Jedi Remnant as a protectorate as they rebuild, and an official alliance between the New Empire and Republic. We call for any other galactic factions to join our fight against the radical tyranny of these terrorists and their faction.”
