JEDI HoloNet

Caden Aquitenne, the recently-elected Chief of State of the Galactic Alliance, averaged a 63% job approval rating from his fellow citizens in the most recent cyclic poll. His recent approval ratings, based on HoloNews tracking, have shown a high degree of stability, with the cyclic averages ranging between 59% and 65% since his election.

Citizens cite the current economic state of the Federation as “greatly influencing” their perceptions of the current administration, closely followed by the positive character analysis made by supporters and detractors alike. Aquitenne falls short in one major area of polling  which is the field of executive experience. However, that will undoubtedly change as the years continue to pass.

While Aquitenne has enjoyed his success, he should be wary of his center-right agenda. Little change in policy and a complacency from the strong economy ultimately hinders a progressive ascension for the future, which has been the clamor of the current minority in the Senate. For now however, there is no denying the positive following Aquitenne possesses among the politically ill-informed masses.

Breaking news way out in the Outer Rim today from Mos Sour, Tatooine, a small gated town adjacent to Mos Kreetle. During the night, civilians reported sounds of blaster fire and explosions in the western portion of the town. The few who were out in the odd hours had all-too-similar sights of two Jedi combating blaster fire, slashing down the combatants in the middle of the street. On top of this, one witness tells of seeing a Jedi running out of a small house before an explosion from within all but destroyed the humble structure. He explains:

I saw ‘im running out like his hair was on fire, and then *BAM*, the roof blasts up to high heaven!

File Photo of Rinne'selen'omare

The recently exiled Jedi Knight and murderer Rinne’selen’omare has remained unfound despite strenuous efforts on the part of the Galactic Alliance to capture and bring him to justice. Reports have surfaced that the trail of the fugitive’s ship projected an abnormal hyperspace route through the Unknown Regions, supposedly running into several star systems if traveled. It is likely however that the signal was distorted in order to throw off potential pursuers, and with no reports of the fugitive arriving on the Jedi-occupied world of Ilum, it seems he has evaded justice for as long as he can keep his head ducked.

As Dor’shan and the rest of Dorin slowly continue on the path of recovery, the Jedi Order has made up a significant portion of volunteer workers, mostly made up of residents from Coruscant and Arkania. Just as the reputation of charity and commitment to galactic citizens was beginning to tranquilize the debacle of the Jek’tono Speeder Factory however, a Jedi Knight was witnessed murdering five Kel Dors in a described rage, flaunting triumphs of a successful completion of vendetta before escaping the system, heading untracked for the nearby Unknown Regions.

Jedi Knight Rinne’selen’omare, a 29 year old Chiss male from the Jedi Temple of Coruscant, has recently been identified as the murderer through a confirmation of security footage by government officials. In the captured series of events, the Jedi approached a group of five Kel Dor workers with an ignited blue lightsaber within a community square on Dor’shan. Though the audio was not of optimum quality, it was clear enough to display the murderer’s lone statement before viciously attacking the victims.

After a long career at Galactic HoloNews, our own Spencer Colditch has decided to step down from his post as Lead Reporter following this short farewell address…

Hello viewers. It has been 36 years since I first landed a minor on-site sports reporting job at the ‘News, and I still remember crunching credits to afford my two-room apartment in the thick of Coruscant. Even though financial opportunities grew with my gradual promotions, my passion for bringing the latest information into your homes and workspaces was always the same. Strong and ever-lasting.

You may remember as well as I the times in which I was welcomed into your lives, from the time of Commonwealth Secession to the bliss of economic rise and fall. Know that from my time spent here I have grown in many facets of life and that I have made many friends. And, perhaps, some enemies. Being on screens shown around the Galaxy was always a dream of mine as a child, but I could not have even fathomed the memories I would gain throughout the years. Though, all passions must eventually be put aside for new responsibilities. With the recent arrivals of grandchildren, I feel the need to dedicate more time towards enjoying the love of my family, including the blessings of my always-supportive wife, Jennei.

With this, I give my final farewell to you. Stay vigilant, and good evening great Galaxy.
