JEDI HoloNet

News from Corellia, reports of a robbery in one of the largest branches in Crescent City has come to light under the most mysterious of circumstances. It is said that like all similar crimes of this nature, large amounts of credits have been taken and, while hostages were taken whilst inside the bank, all remained relatively unharmed as CorSec forced their way inside.

However, it was what they discovered that made this particular case the unsolved mystery that it is now regarded as. All of the would be robbers were found inside the building, sitting in an unlocked room in silence until approached by CorSec officials. Sources also indicate that pictures were taken of the security fields around the banks state of the art vault. Word has it that many of the parts were melted off of the walls at certain points which caused the vault to buckle and peel off.

The security footage was also destroyed.

Not much more is being said, but whispers inside CorSec say that the men being held under suspicion of the robbery do not seem like the type of men capable of said crime.

We will bring you more on this as the investigations continue…

This just in, appeals are being made to the public of Eriadu after the decapitated body of a man was found hidden in the basement of his home. The body was found when concerned relatives, who had not heard from him for some time, raised the alarm regarding his apparent disappearance.

Judlin Yusk, 35, was a pilot for a company which is known for the transport of commercial goods using many of trade routes which cross Eriadu, routes such as the Rimma Trade Route, the Hydian Way, the Lipsec Run, and the Yankirk Route. Work colleagues said Judlin was a friendly character, usually in good spirits and enthusiastic about his work, being a keen and hard working pilot. His body was found hidden in amongst house hold items and furniture stored in the basement, his head severed from his body. Not much else is known about the state of Judlin’s body, but sources have indicated that the authorities are curious with regards to the apparent lack of blood found at the crime scene, remarking that it seems the head was surgically removed from the torso using tools and in a professional like manner.

It is said that the relatives believe that Judlin had begun dating a woman shortly before his disappearance and the local authorities are said to be very keen in speaking with her. At this time, there are no details as to who this woman is and the authorities are appealing for any witnesses to come forward with any information relating to Judlin or this mysterious woman.

Cheering erupted across both Coruscant and Bastion today as talks between both Chief of State Malucia and Emperor Irattn Fel drew to a close. With the close of these talks the borders between the two powers have been finalised and both states have formally agreed to the boundaries of both their own authority and the authority of their neighbour. Present at the talks were not only the Chief of State and the Emperor themselves but representatives from the Jedi Enclave on Dantooine, officially serving as ‘impartial mediators’ to the proceedings.

Marginal, limited access was also granted to Imperial Fleet and Army personnel in the Raioballo Sector as a response to concerns voiced by the Imperial Moff High Council over its people still residing on Dantooine. While the sector is not officially a ‘buffer zone’ between the two powers and the sector is still a staunch supporter of the Republic, the Empire has been given leeway to police and protect its own citizens residing there, within the bounds of Republic law.

While formal trade laws and agreements have yet to be decided on by both states, we can all rest easy now with the assurance that the previously looming prospect of war no longer appears to be an issue.

News from the Galactic North today with reports that an Imperial picket-fleet and a routine Republic patrol traded salvo’s within the Raioballo sector, with some sources going so far as to claim it was within the limits of the Dantooine System.

While none of the responsible vessels were reported destroyed or captured on either side this has only led to tension arising between the two states over the current secessionary crisis. Both the Republic Senate and the Imperial Moff High Council have been quick to play this event down as little more than ‘understandable tension over an uncertain future between our two states.’

While the Moff High Council refused to state explicitly what Imperial ships were doing in a sector still officially within the Republics domain they did make clear that there are ‘Imperial citizens residing on Dantooine from the time of the war who by right are entitled to the protection of the Imperial Armed Forces.’  As a result of the escalating crisis there are talks that both Chief of State Malucia and the newly crowned Emperor Irattn Fel will be meeting to finally attempt to draw to a close the rising tensions between both powers.

With Dantooine still a steadfast Republic supporter and a Jedi Enclave located on the planet, it is uncertain as to how these events may unfold.

The Republic continues to break apart as earlier today, Senators from Belkadan, Yaga Minor and Muunilinst walked out of this mornings Senate session. Within hours all three worlds declared their secession and their support for the Empire with their colony worlds, Mygeeto in particular, declaring for the Empire also.

While this may not come as a complete surprise for many, the secession of Muunilinst, one of the galaxies leading economical centres has severely dented an already highly fragile economy and as a result, the stock-market plummeted severely following this mornings announcement. Their declaration this morning caused mass protests both within the Senate building and without, one un-named Senator even going so far as to declare them ‘traitors’ and stating that they are ‘guilty of treason’.

Apparently, of concern to a number of Senators, is the silence and complete lack of input or opinion of the Senator of Corellia who, when asked about his thoughts on the situation, has consistently refused to be let known his own thoughts or the thoughts of his world on this crisis.

While discontent across the Republic continues to fester as a result of the treaty that brought an end to the war, the continued state of the Republic remains uncertain. What is certain though is that with worlds continuing to secede, the military being largely down-sized and the economy in near total ruin, the Republic stands almost completely un-equipped should the treaty fall apart.

Where the Jedi Order will stand should this occur is not yet known.
