JEDI HoloNet

Following a statement earlier today, it was confirmed that a small but notable group of systems on the Hydian Way have officially seceded from the Republic, in a new alliance calling itself the Hynah Directive. A corresponding statement, released by the systems involved, condemned Republic indifference towards the region during the Imperium War, as well as dwindling supplies.

Though it is unprecedented for such a small number of systems to secede, the Hynah Directive joins several other independent clusters, such as the Hapes Consortium and the historic Serex-Juvex sectors. Though technically residing within Republic controlled space, the systems in the new territory are exempt from senatorial law.

With the news, many are speculating the terms of the agreement, raising concerns that the independent systems control the central section of the Hydian Way, potentially breaking trade routes between the Core and northern systems. However, the discussions have remained peaceful and many import and export bans have already been lifted in the region.

All Republic announcements have remained confident that this issue will be resolved and returned to normal before long. Many neighboring systems in the region are currently in talks to decide whether to join the Hynah Directive or remain with the Republic.

If you don’t live on the Hydian Way, you’d be forgiven if today’s news comes as a surprise. With the war against the Imperium coming to an end after nearly a decade, a small group of systems on the boundary between Republic and previously Imperium territory have been threatening secession, citing Republic negligence during the conflict. Whilst a peaceful and localized movement, the close of negotiations today will most likely accelerate the process.

The Senate has issued a statement concluding that whilst the secession has not been officially recognized, it will continue to work to prevent any future breakaway, however small, in these uncertain times and promises that trade will not be affected. Despite this claim, many galactic corporations have already begun to withdraw major operations from the area.

As of yet, the group of systems have not released any formal statement, though one is expected in coming cycles.

What scientists have been speculating for centuries may finally be coming true on the planet of Belovia, Expansion Region. Whilst the climate and topography has been changing for a significant number of years, new research from a variety of different stations indicates that Belovia is on the tipping point of entering an Ice Age.

Although the Belovians and the permanently established offworld citizens have been dealing with below freezing temperatures for generations, an Ice Age would render the planet near uninhabitable, as thick ice sheets spread across the terrain and many bodies of water.

With the news, many communities are making the tough decision to relocate to the equator or leave Belovia entirely. In a session earlier this cycle, the Senate agreed to send Republic military personnel and specialists to Belovia to assist the local populations, as well as conduct further research.

As of yet, scientific reports cannot agree on how long the Ice Age would last, or even what impact it would leave.

Just a few cycles after the death of Senator Huein, new evidence has come to light, suggesting that the incident with extremist group Kijinx was more than a simple kidnapping and hostage situation.

The brother of recently named Kijinx member Yulin Carren, Alisha Carrin, turned a datapad recovered from Yulin’s former place of residence over to local law enforcement. The evidence on the device suggests that Yulin and Senator Huein knew each other before the kidnapping event. They had been friends for a long period of time, meeting at one of Huein’s conferences where Yulin was an aide.

From there they devised a plot in order to make a bounty of credits, insinuating that Senator Huein was not the man that Corellia believed him to be. Instead, Huein used his position as a tool of misjustice and personal gain for years. The final ‘heist’ was to have Huein pose as a captive of Kijinx, while Yulin led the operation of extortion of the authorities on Corellia.

It has been confirmed that none of the Kijinx members aside from Yulin himself were in on the deal that he and Huein struck. Speculations suggests that the other members genuinely believed in the extreme resistance and revolutionary movement. Due to the unnatural circumstances of this case, Alisha has decided to donate all former possessions of Yulin to a local charity in order to help repay the travesty that his brother had made.

Elections will soon be held to elect a new senator in place of Huein, may they represent Corellia far better than Huein ever did.

In a sudden turn of events, G.R.I.D has announced that they led a coalition of Republic Navy forces, as well as local security and law enforcement forces, in a sting operation on the now infamous Kijinx. This is resounding news to the people of Corellia as G.R.I.D announces that they have struck a major blow to the only known base of operations to the extremist group. They report that their success is due to “astounding teamwork and professional skill”, as well as insider information thanks to a citizen informant reporting suspicious operations being carried out from the undisclosed location.

G.R.I.D has announced that during the sting operation they were able to seize a number of files from Kijinx as they were superiorly outmatched in number, skill and strategy. No members of the group gave themselves up peacefully, leaving no living prisoners for either G.R.I.D or local law enforcement to interrogate.

However, this comes at a cost as it has been reported that Senator Huein has been lost in the aftermath. His corpse was found several meters away from the initial shootout scene, with two blaster shots to the torso. It is suspected that the remaining Kijinx members realized their inevitable fate and shot their political prisoner as a final statement to all of Corellia.

G.R.I.D has now departed Corellia, leaving but a few agents behind to help wrap up the aftermath, though the majority of such will be left to local law enforcement. While the action has subsided, it should be starting up again soon. Positions for senator of Corellia to represent the planet in the Galactic Senate has opened and there are already several applications, one of our reporters has stated.
