387.12 // Statement: Grandmaster Don’roq
Initiates, Padawans, Knights and Masters.
You do not need me to tell you that the last four years have been a difficult time for the Order.
On 387.09, Jedi from Rannon Praxeum led a successful operation and recovered 34 force sensitive children. Details of this assignment are strictly classified and are restricted to the High Council, Local Councillors and the residents of Rannon Praxeum who have been involved in the long term investigation and recovery of the children.
In the short term, the children will all be returned to their families. Longer term, those that were due to begin training with the Jedi Order will study at Ossus under my personal watch before being distributed across the various outposts and praxeums in the galaxy.
Whilst GRID has formally shut down its Operation Lost Stars, the Order have reason to believe that two children are still missing, and those responsible are still to be held to account. Whilst now is certainly a time for celebration, there is still work to be done.
At this time, I would like to personally praise Rannon Praxeum for carrying the intense burden of the investigation. The Jedi Order has not been this well regarded in the galaxy for many decades, and this boost in popularity is down to you. I urge all members across the Order to seek to grow and nuture this new found approval.
Finally, I would like to pay respects to a dear personal friend of mine, Master Cael Dan’kor who became one with the force during the operation to recover the children. His contribution to the Order was immeasurable and whilst he will be missed, his words and lessons will undoubtedly live on through everyone who knew him.
Kind Regards
Grandmaster Don’roq
