308.21 // Senate In Shock After Imperial Assault On Ascendancy Military Installation
The Empire has made little effort in keeping from the media news of an assault launched by their military today on what appears to have been a Chiss Ascendancy military installation on the world of Ord Janon. While the reasoning for the installations presence has not been revealed, the Imperial military made it blatantly clear that they considered its presence a ‘violation of the treaty of Mygeeto and that any other Ascendancy facilities found within previously held space will suffer a similar fate.’
While the death toll has yet to be revealed, the Empire stated that their new ‘Dark Troopers’ had been deployed in the assault on the Ascendancy base, with Chiss losses considered to be near total with Imperial casualties almost zero. The Ascendancy itself has made no formal comment or statement regarding the attack so far.
Needless to say this news stunned top officials within the Republics own military who are now apparently desperately looking for a possible counter-measure, should these Dark Troopers be used against the Empires former allies.
