JEDI HoloNet

The Holonews can today officially confirm that the missing children were indeed all force sensitive and due to be collected by the Jedi Order.

In response to this breaking news, the Senate held an emergency session late last night and demanded to hear from the Order.

Jedi Knight Levi Astra, a branch ambassador for the Order was expected to attend and respond officially on behalf on the Order, but at the last moment was replaced by Jedi Knight Gifford Rav’i. Perhaps an indicative sign of the chaos the Order finds itself in.

A snippet of Master Rav’i address can be found below

Senators, I would like now to appeal directly to those that have lost their children.

I know these words bring you no comfort. They will not stop the sleepless nights. It will not serve to fill the inescapable void left behind. It will not repair your shattered trust with the Order, but, if these words are to serve any purpose, then I hope it is to simply inform that whilst we cannot possibly understand your loss, believe that we share in it.

The Jedi Order adopts all those that join it. We will not rest until our lost brothers and sisters, your beloved sons and daughters, are cradled safely in both our arms once more.

Whilst a vote of no confidence in the Jedi Order was floated by some backbench senators, it was swiftly condemned by the rest of Senate. The Senate clearly has faith in the Order and GRID, however unless some progress is made, how long will the galaxy retain that faith?

Padawans, Knights and Masters of the Jedi Order.

I trust that you are all aware of the situation in which the Order finds itself in.

We have received news that the Holonews has received leaked GRID documents and tomorrow will run a story officially confirming a link between the 4 missing children stating

1. That they were all indeed force sensitive.
2. They were due for collection by the Order.

We anticipate reaction to this from the Galaxy to one of upset and anger. I ask that those Jedi on assignment to take extra precaution when facing potentially emotive situations with civilians in the Galaxy. If asked about the the children, please refer them to the forth coming official statement of the Order.

It is also with grave news, that I must inform you that there have been several other children taken. However their parents have decided to entrust the Order with the investigation and have therefor not gone public.

In order to facilitate and centralise the operation into finding the children, we have decided to appoint Rannon Praxeum as the lead branch investigating into this matter. Any information should be reported to the their Knight body. The rest of the Orders facilities and enclaves will continue to assist to the best of their abilities.

A public statement will be forth coming from Order in the coming days.

I would ask that your final thoughts on this message turn to the children who are currently lost to us and the critical mission ahead of us to bring them home safely.

– Koyso Chewai’in, Calus
– Resuli Concaf, Calus
– Pinoru Daciac, Belsavis
– Celsili Tooanna, Rodia
– Amidala Staifme, Naboo
– Esta Bowing, Ord Mantell
– Cohah Gring, Roytha

May the force be with you
Grand Master Don’roq & The High Council

A sight that we should never become desensitised to. Two parents behind a long table, surrounded by local security forces, flashing bulbs of holocameras whilst cradling a picture of their now missing child.

Today Rigou and Verioti Gring told of the hollow feeling they have felt since their son was taken from them, before pleading with whoever took their son to return him home to them. Not much is known as to the circumstances around their son Cohah, but it was several days before they realised he was taken.

It was noted that there was a Jedi Knight present on Roytha at the briefing vetting questions from the press. Allowing no questions on why there was such a significant delay before Cohah was reported missing.

The Jedi Knight, from Ossus also refused to comment on behalf of the Order.

The Core, the Inner Rim and now the Expansion Region have all been affected in the last cycle with cases of missing children.

What do they have in common? Rumors are circling that all were force sensitive, however no public information has been released confirming this.

What is most certain is all have fallen foul of the most unforgivable crime.

Spira.

Sandy Beaches.

Luxurious Spas.

A Parents Worst Nightmare.

Reports are coming in from Spira about an abduction of a child Celsili Tooanna. It appears that Celsili was taken during the Hyperwaves Light Show, a spectacular light and firework show performed nightly by the Starscene Resort, last night.

Whilst all of Spiras starports are on high alert, an insider source tells us that the authorities are not hopeful that Celsili remains on the planet, commenting that due to Spiras popularity it is a difficult place to lock down.

One of Celsilis teachers from Rodia has been quoted saying

“She was force sensitive you know.. Her parents pulled her out of school to go on this holiday because the Jedi where to due to come and collect her next cycle. Poor thing..”

Whilst no formal link has been established between Celsili Tooana, and the other disappearances of two boys from Calus, Resuli Concaf and Koyso Chewai’in, when questioned GRID representatives declined to comment at this stage.

As of yet, there is also no official comment from the Jedi Order.

The Jedi Council would like to take this opportunity to welcome our four new Initiates, Jaqobi Dosuun, Kiara O’ren, Meep Trop, Guillo Flickant as well as our new transfer student, Jacen Solborne to the Order. You have all taken your first steps on a long journey which will be both challenging and enlightening. Listen well to you mentors, teachers and fellow students and you will do well.

We would also like to congratulate Joran Fayara for successfully returning to the rank of Jedi Knight, and look forward to both him and new Knight transfer Drax imparting their knowledge and wisdom at the Rannon Praxeum

Welcome to the Order.

The Jedi Council.
