Chiss Citizens of the Commonwealth Engage Government Troops in the Capital of Carannia

The en-battled territories of the Commonwealth are now facing a new sort of enemy from within, as natural-born Commonwealth citizens of Chiss descent have organized against their own government in support of the Ascendancy’s cause on Serenno. This organization, calling itself the United Chiss for the Ascendancy (UCA), has reportedly caused much civil disruption and violence due in part to the sheer number of members, which is estimated to be in the tens of thousands.

While Ascendancy forces have not yet invaded the system, members of the UCA have substantially weakened the Commonwealth’s ability to organize, ultimately aiding the Ascendancy in its inevitable future invasion. Several communication depots and military barracks have either been abandoned or captured, as the site of urban warfare leaves Commonwealth forces hard-pressed in reclaiming lost positions.

Meanwhile, the Senate on Coruscant continues its heated debates in regard to the issuance made by the Mandalorians regarding the Jedi Order. Reports dictate that diplomatic meetings are being made with the Jedi High Council and the Parliament on Naboo to ultimately decide the fate of several Jedi institutions around the Galaxy. Analysts are still however at a loss at how this dithering will conclusively affect the future actions on the part of the Mandalorians.

The Jedi Temple

As more worlds continuously fall to the Ascendancy, the Jedi successfully make news following the destruction of the Dantooine Enclave, as a Jedi Knight has come out to claim responsibility for the death of former Mandalore Jhil Beviin. Ashur Ventissen, a male Rattatak from the Jedi Temple of Ossus, issued a statement to galactic citizens before surrendering himself on the borders of Mandalorian space. The motives for assassination are explained in vivid detail:

… I took it upon myself to end the life of someone that I saw as a true threat to peace in the Galaxy. The Mandalorian people were suffering from one who did not follow the tenets that we Jedi live by, and I could not stand by any longer watching a tyrant rule over her people like a power-hungry queen … I do not regret my actions, but I do claim responsibility for them. I was the one you saw in the garage, ending the life of its owner in order to provide my own cowardly escape following the murderous deed. I took to happiness that I was not revealed during the assassination of Mandalore, but now cannot stand the fact that I fled from justice.

The Planet of Dantooine

Flooding news reports have reached the Core that the Chiss Ascendancy has successfully invaded and taken control of the Dantooine system from Commonwealth forces. Offering little resistance, most settlements reportedly fell within hours, including the historic Jedi Enclave stationed on the planet’s surface. What appears to be more surprising however is the fact that Mandalorian legions were solely responsible for the destruction of the enclave, as it is estimated that hundreds of Jedi Knights were slaughtered with small minorities escaping the system before the structure eventually crumbled.

Amidst the shock, it is now confirmed that the invading Chiss forces have the sponsorship of the Ascendancy, as its leadership, along with the warrior elite of the Mandalorians, have issued individual statements directly to Galactic HoloNews to project to the citizens of the Galaxy following prior sending to other government institutions. They follow:

Commonwealth Warships Engaged in Battle

As the Commonwealth continues to receive a pummeling from assumed Chiss naval forces, hyperspace travel to the in-battled territory has all but been suspended due to the unpredictability of erupting battles within the region. Travel lines such as United Space and Trans-Galactic have complied with the warning issued by the Galactic Alliance to evade potential danger, further isolating Commonwealth citizens from the rest of the Galaxy.

While the Galactic Alliance has provided aid to the Commonwealth in the tracking of invading forces, it has nevertheless remained reluctant to provide military aid to the region, despite the imploring of Prime Minister Paol Selanne to receive help from the allied federation. While there has been no official reasoning for this decision to reserve troops, military and government analysts suggest that the on-going rebellion of Trandoshan forces on Kashyyyk may be causing the apparent inaction on the part of the Galactic Alliance.

The decision to reserve aid to the Commonwealth has at its best strained relations between the two major governments of the Galaxy, though Prime Minister Selanne remains confident that the Alliance will eventually realize the gravity of the situation and subsequently become more involved in the defense of the region. Galactic HoloNews received no further comment from either faction on the matter.

Battle Aboard the Generis Orbital Base Reveals Chiss Forces Engaged with a Jedi

We have just received word that Chiss military forces have successfully invaded the Generis system and subsequently taken over all military operations by infiltrating an orbital base outside of the planet’s atmosphere. This photo of a Jedi in-battled with Chiss soldiers, taken by a base droid and sent to Commonwealth military command, is the only evidence of invasion outside of rough distress calls sent out before all communications were subsequently cut off, presumably by the Chiss.

If validated, this demonstrates the apparent indomitable success of invading Chiss forces, as in order to have reached Generis, the planets of Morishim and Ord Biniir would undoubtedly have had to fall. No reports about the two aforementioned planets have reportedly been received by the Commonwealth, which is currently chilling as well as enlightening. Our military analysts have strictly concluded that this is indisputably an act of war by the Chiss Ascendancy against the Commonwealth, as the necessary estimate of resources required for the success of this invasion could only have been acquired through official government sponsorship.

While the Chiss Ascendancy remains quiet on the matter, all seems to have been revealed as at least four planets have fallen in less than a cycle’s time. The Galactic Alliance has since offered its services to the Commonwealth to report any happenings within its territory, though currently it seems nobody except the Ascendancy truly knows the extent of which its forces have expanded. Keep watching GHN as new developments inevitably arise.
