JEDI HoloNet

Marlyn Wilsomer, 26, Coruscant, Says:

I think this war is only pushing our peoples further apart. If you ask me we should have surrendered alongside the Common Wealth. We’ve got enough to worry about after what happened on Bakura. Yes, the Chiss are dangerous but it’s too dangerous to keep fighting!

E. Nillis, 18, Brentaal, Says:

This war should have happened sooner. The Chiss were always creepy, and now they released that disease on Bakura. I say we synthesize it and release it on Csilla. The Ascendancy is a blight upon the galaxy, to be sure.

Hermon Graneur, 58, Anaxes, Says:

We need to stop the fighting and come to a compromise that will serve both of our nations. If we keep this up we will wipe each other out.

Eliana Halfstadt, 43, Corellia, Says:

This war has left me fearing for the lives of my children and husband. If we give up now we might have a chance to keep our lives.

Amid the fear every heart in the Alliance has been stricken with since the devastating act of bio-terrorism on Bakure, a ray of hope has broken through the fog of doubt. The Galactic Alliance Medical Division (GAMA) has announced that it has developed a cure for the virus that has become to be colloquially refereed to as, “The Blue Death.”

“Our dedicated team of scientists have been working around the clock ever since the discovery of the virus to find the cure,” stated the head of the research team, Sevrina Valentine. “We have taken our first steps towards wiping out this horrendous plague once and for all!”

Despite the discovery of the formula for a cure, sources inside GAMA say that due to the complicated nature of its production, it may be some time before enough of it is available to become available to the mass public.

“For now, it is being reserved for our military personnel in the field,” says Coalition spokesperson Col. Jens Samlon. “We will also be keeping a supply to deploy to any world hit by the virus in a speedy fashion, but for now we just don’t have the resources to every world.”

Though a cure is now available, emergency services personnel are still receiving training galaxy wide on protocol for dealing with potential outbreaks. “I don’t care what the government claims, I’m still afraid for my life,” says Yasmyn Kurn, 23, from Coruscant.

Spokespeople from within the Ascendancy were quick in generating responses to GAMA’s boasting of a cure for the Blue Death. A statement was released from the Office of the Chiss Ascendancy’s Commander in Chief, Tesar’etto’nuruodo. “The discovery of a supposed cure means nothing! The Alliance has far too many world to protect, for too many lives to preserve. We have enough of the weapon to eliminate every last man, women, and child in the Alliance much faster than you can prepare yourselves to defend. Unless the Alliance goes the way of the Commonwealth and surrenders immediately your cities will not be safe. Your children will not be safe. * You * will not be safe. To Chief of State Aquitenne I beseech you for the last name. Surrender peacefully, or your leadership will come to an end through bloodshed.”

Chief of State Caden Aquitenne was not available for comment.

Confirmed reports of an attack on Coruscant have finally been validated, that have left many neighbouring sectors shaken and fearful, have pointed to the continued war with the Asendancy and Mandalorian armies. It seems that since the Commonwealth surrendered to the treaty of Bakura, the Ascendancy seeked to put a further heavy dent in the Galactic Alliance moral. Claims of a possible operative of a non Chiss race was tasked with the attack which details suggest this was due to be a chemical explosion in the sector, something that most reporters are saying would have take the current casualties to a much higher count. Further more eye witness reports state that the Jedi Order could have been present in an attempt to thwart the attack which hit the sector, though it begs the question of where they received their intelligence and why did the Galactic Alliance fail to act sooner?

Chief of State Aquitenne refused to comment at this time.

Also in other news.

In an unprecedented move of confidence and daring, a pair of Mandalorian fleets launched a joint incursion into the heart of the Galactic Alliance, striking at the Core World of Brentaal IV.

Sitting on the meeting point of both the Hydian Way and the Perlemian Trade Route, Brentaal serves as one of the Cores leading centers of commerce, managing the import of raw materials and consumables from the Outer Rim Territories. Striking down both hyperlanes, the Mandalorian fleets launched a strong and determined assault, causing significant damage to the Alliance fleet protecting the world and also the famous Sel Zonn station orbiting Brentaal IV. While the attacking fleets succeeded in causing considerable damage, Alliance Command can feel small relief in the withdrawal of both fleets once Alliance reinforcements from the Azure Sector entered the system. Despite the Mandalorian withdrawal, all garrisons on Anaxes were placed on full alert.

This most recent of Mandalorian offensives has sent a ripple of panic across a number of the Cores larger population centers, most notably Coruscant, Atrisia, Kuat and Abregado-Rae, with minor riots breaking out across the capital. Chief-of-state Aquitenne has apparently responded to these fears by ordering the increase of ship production at the fleet yards of both Kuat and Corellia, despite the near bankrupt state of the Alliance economy and increasing levels of starvation across the Core.

With the Mandalorians seemingly capable of striking so far into the heart of the Alliance, the number of voices calling for a truce is at an all-time high.

It is unknown if these two seperate attacks was in fact a joint effort but it seems the Ascendacy and the Mandalorian are looking to put even more pressure on the Galactic Alliance in a bid to end this war.

The trees are alive with the sound of music, laughter, and hearty talk amongst the wookiees here in the village of Kepitenochan on Kashyyyk. For the past several days, the Wookiees have been making preparations for their annual Life Day celebrations. It has been a hard year for the Galaxy and I am sad to say that many of its citizens will not be able to participate in Life Day this year. Those that do, however, can expect a merry time and will indubitably have many good times this holiday.

Reports have come in that several Galactic Alliance personnel have been spotted amongst the trees as well. Maybe they are there to help? Protection? Who knows? It warms my heart to know that there are still some people willing to help out and participate in this sacred celebration. In the past, it has been known that the occasional Jedi participates with the Wookiees, but no reports of their presence have been given.

Stayed tuned into GHN for updates on the Life Day celebrations! Until next time.

The details of the Commonwealth’s surrender to the Chiss Ascendancy have been finalised, officials have reported. The document, known as the Treaty of Bakura after the attack that prompted the surrender, outlines the full implications of the Chiss takeover of Commonwealth territories. GHN was given exclusive access to this key moment in Galactic history.
