JEDI HoloNet

Only three years after the Imperium War comes to a close, details have emerged that former agents of the Imperium are believed to be working for the Republic.

According to several declassified reports received from GRID, the Republic’s intelligence division has recruited several officers and scientists into their division. According to the reports, this recruitment started shortly after the fall of the Sith on Coruscant.

A spokesperson for GRID made the following statement to the GHN surrounding the matter:

Reports that there are members of the former Imperium working for the Republic are correct. We invited several scientists and officers to GRID Republic, in order to develop new defences in case of another Sith incursion, including the plague.

While we were enemies a short time ago, their disassociation from the Sith gave us the opportunity to let them prove their worth to the Galaxy at large, by aiding the Republic and her allies.

The start of this relationship signifies the end of official hostilities between the Imperium Loyalists and the Republic.

We’ll bring you more information as it becomes available.

In a rather heated battle, Asdral Gev has been chosen as Mandalore, defeating the previous, Zarus Jendri, in one on one combat.

In a summit on the capital city of Sundari, Mandalore, Asdral Gev had challenged Zarus Jendri’s leadership, stating that Jendri has ineptly lead the Mandalorians since the end of their involvement in the Attrition Wars. The challenge, one deeply rooted in Mandalorian culture, ended with Jendri’s defeat in armed combat and Gev being established as the new Mandalore.

Jendri’s policy of isolationism is thought to have been the main reason for Gev’s challenge, the Mandalorians staying relatively within their own territory since the end of the Attrition Wars. Contacts on the planet believe that Asdral Gev wishes to expand the Mandalorians status within the Galaxy, creating stronger ties with the other galactic governments.

New Republic representatives have released statements that ambassadors from Mandalore are expected to arrive on Coruscant soon, with expectations that the Mandalorians wish to expand trade routes through their systems, to help ease off the issue of poverty that has plagued Mandalorian space since the end of the war.

Asdral, former chieftain of the Fett clan, has been dubbed Mandalore the Rebuilder by the other clan chieftains.

Ahakista, a small trading planet situated in the Outer Rim, has often been regarded as a prosperous hub for smugglers wishing to gain access to the Mid Rim and Core market safely.

It has been widely reported in recent years that the Republic have been putting immense pressure on the Ahakista government to enforce stricter checks on imports and exports coming to and from the planet in a bid to clamp down on illegal items reaching the core. It has even been rumored that the Republic are offering extensive funding to revitalise the key infrastructure of the planet if certain targets are met.

With only one major arrest in the last few years, Ahakista were recently granted new powers by the Senate which allow them to stop and search any package coming through the port.

The powers, deemed controversial at the time, have today bore fruit. The Republic is full of praise for the Ahakista Government, after word of a record bust reached the Senate.

Following an extensive sting operation, over 100kg of the narco-spice ‘Thruster Head’ was seized and the culprits detained. The man in charge of the on-going operation had this to say:

“Whilst we are of course delighted to hear that our work has been praised by the Senate, it is but a drop in the ocean when it comes the problem we face here.

I hope these arrest sends a message to those considering using Ahakista as a bridge into the Core worlds to simply think again.

We can’t say too much about the identities of the people arrested, as they are awaiting trial, but needless to say, they have been detained without bail and we are extremely confident of a successful conviction.”

Imperial lord Tiberius Perator was recently apprehended by Jedi and Imperial forces on Mygeeto’s smallest moon. Lord Perator aided in the assassination of the former Emperor and served the Imperium military intellectually and financially in galactic conquest. Empress Fel moved her military against the Imperial lord and forced his leave from Mygeeto. Perator retreated to his family’s palace, turned fortress on the Mygeeto moon. Empress Fel then commenced a year long siege on Lord Perator’s ice bunker.

Unexpectedly Empress Fel’s military was met with Imperium loyalists and soldiers who assisted Tiberius Perator’s escape and continued protection of the rogue lord. The fortress was near impenetrable and had the provisions to sustain the facility for years. However, Lord Perator preemptively requested to treat with Jedi Master Cael Dan’kor, the murderer of the “One Sith’s” Dark Lord.  

High Councilor Dan’kor accepted to negotiate with Lord Perator on the Empress’ behalf. The Jedi Master brought along several other Jedi as well. Jedi Knight Wrennin Vae, best known for his speech during the Great Plague; Jedi Knight Dithaal, Battlemaster of the Rannon Praxeum; Padawan(s) Karmarie Zar, Voh Phaar, Vathius Krai, and Kro’jan Touru. Little is known of what happened, but the trip resulted in Lord Perator and his son, Vexus Perator’s, capture.

Not long ago Tiberius Perator was placed before Empress Bellitrial Fel on Bastion by Cael Dan’kor. Empress Fel within the Imperial palace, before her court, stripped Tiberius of his lands, titles, and holdings, and sentenced him to death, for his treachery and lack of cooperativeness with the Jedi. His son, Vexus, was turned over to Cael Dan’kor by the Jedi’s request. There are no public statements from the Empress or Jedi Order at this time.

Following the conclusion of talks, officials announced today that Yutan will accept refugees from neighboring Belovia on a much larger scale than in recent cycles. The news comes in the wake of significant climate changes on Belovia which some are calling a new Ice Age, making vast areas of the planet uninhabitable.

The agreement was stalled by further research being conducted, as well as cultural hurdles. However, intervention by the Republic and other organizations has at last allowed for an agreement to be made, with significant subsidies to be donated to Yutan to aid in the relief effort.

With the news, many stranded Belovian communities are now able to move offworld, escaping below freezing temperatures, earthquakes and contaminated natural water supplies. Those in the region have called the operation a huge success, but acknowledge that there are still many more steps to be taken in the future.
