Trandoshan Base Set Ablaze from Turbolaser Fire

After many failed attempts at dismantling a particular rebel base’s shield generation capabilities, Galactic Alliance forces successfully penetrated the depths of the structure and disabled the intimidating heart of the technology following the surrender of Trandoshan inhabitants. As seen in released photos after troop evacuation, the fortification was soon fired upon by turbolasers from orbital support in order to prevent recapture. The photos, taken by survey droids, demonstrate the initial volleys of fire setting the fortification ablaze before the structure eventually crumbled.

Following the momentous destruction of the base, rebel forces within relative vicinity immediately surrendered, devoid of their once-protective shielding. While the taking of these bases have proven arduous, Alliance command has remained staunch in its strategy to eradicate them for victory. Despite the destruction of this prominent foothold and subsequent enlightening of morale however, rebel forces still retain multiple fortifications, as well as isolated command areas within the mountainous regions of the planet. The capture of General Crerniss has also proven to be extremely difficult.

All in all however, this stands as a significant victory for the Galactic Alliance and Chief Aquitenne, whose political success remains tied with the outcome of this military expedition. Stay tuned as new developments unfold.

The Planet of Mygeeto

While the Galactic Alliance faces its militaristic problems on Kashyyyk, the Commonwealth faces its own challenges in the form of its economically-suffering northern territories. Highlighting the once-prominent world of Mygeeto, monetary downturns of banking systems have shaped its capital city of Jygat into a bastion of gang warfare, as Muun and Lurmen populations raise speciesist tensions over trivial disputes.

Though a significant population of Jygat remains in a high standard of living, the economic recession has shrunken its middle class to relatively negligible numbers, as the poor and homeless populations continue to rise in the sunken city. Statistics show that one third of Jygat citizens are affected by gang warfare in their everyday lives.

Despite monetary bailouts being sent from the government on Naboo to banking establishments across the planet of Mygeeto, there has been little visible change in the form of creating a more secure environment for Mygeetans, which has caused much political flack to be inflicted upon Prime Minister Paol Selanne.

Whatever the correct course of repair may be, it still seems to remain a long-reach away from the citizens of Mygeeto.

Chief of State Aquitenne with Ambassador Siladen

The premiere of the theatrical performance The Grand Vexation was demonstrated before two important men of the Galaxy last night, as Chief of State Caden Aquitenne hosted Ambassador Ness’ilade’nuruodo of the Chiss Ascendancy in unexpected fashion. To the surprise of the attendants of the Odeon Theatre, Aquitenne entered with a large company of guards and seated himself on a prominent balcony moments before the start of the show, as the visiting ambassador placed himself to the left of the most prominent figure of the free Galaxy.

Unknown to the press, the Chiss Ascendancy had made private negotiations in the past cycle with the Office of the Chief of State to make a diplomatic visit to the Galactic Alliance to occur within the near future. To the credit of the parties involved, the only evidence of the visit prior to the arrival at the theatre was in the form an escorted shuttle landing within the premises of the Senate Building, as well as an increased presence of security prior to the show. Perhaps due to the traditional rarity of a Chiss dignitary visiting the main territories of the Galaxy, strict privacy in travel was reportedly the preferred method of the visiting party, much to the understood compassion of the Chief of State who made all the necessary arrangements.

After the successful landing of federal Galactic Alliance forces on Kashyyyk, the estimated number of indisputable victories have fairly equaled the amount of combined defeats and standstills against rebel Trandoshan forces. Finding high success in large cities and outlying Wookiee villages, the Galactic Alliance has nevertheless found stalwart resistance in mountainous areas and shielded Trandoshan bases in the southern hemisphere. With space assaults being restricted in effectiveness due to the existence of these bases, Alliance forces have moved to concentrate more focus on dismantling them through ground sieges, which have initially proven unsuccessful. Admiral Sulweedo of the Galactic Alliance commented on the situation:

Our men and women in the field are currently constructing new strategies to dismantle [the bases] in a more effective fashion. I am confident that such maneuvers will prove effective and that we may provide a quick end to the situation from orbit, returning Kashyyyk to a situation of relative peace in the near future.

The government of Trandosha itself has remained loyal in its support of federal intervention, but not without civil quarrels on the planet itself. A contingent of federal troops have since been sent to the capital of Hsskhor in order to assist in keeping the peace during this time of trial. Galactic HoloNews will keep you updated as the situations on both planets evolve.

Maloush Paroveid, infamous for causing the deaths of the Ugnaught doctor, Dr. Hu and his lover, was released from prison late last night.

In a special late-night session of the Galactic Senate, Master Corinth Alkorda of the Jedi High Council spoke, advocating for the release of Maloush Paroveid. GHN has received a transcript of this plea.

“Esteemed Senators of the Galactic Alliance,

Most of you know my face; I am Corinth Alkorda – Jedi Master of the High Council and former Director of Undercover Operations for the Corellian Security Force. My business here today springs forth from the former. I have arranged this special session with the Chief of State in order to advocate for the release of the Jedi Knight Maloush Paroveid. Once you have heard what actually transpired, you will understand that Maloush Paroveid was simply a good person in a bad situation, who made a foolish choice – not a murderer.

Master Alkorda went on to describe a sequence of events that, while supported by forensic evidence, raise suspicion as to why the Jedi Order did not come to M. Paroveid’s defense sooner. Nevertheless, the Senate voted after brief discussion to solidify a lesser charge of involuntary manslaughter, which carried with it a sentence of “Time Served.” GHN caught up with Master Alkorda as he was seen exiting the general High Council session this morning for comment.  Master Alkorda vanished moments after we positioned our Holorecorder in front of him, his message clear – No comment.

GHN will, as always, continue to report.
