JEDI HoloNet

Here we have a small picture taken from live footage captured by one of our reporters on the ground in Dantooine covering the talks happening there regarding Dantooine’s political future. Here’s the picture now, followed by some audio of reporter Le’ma Denat on the scene with Dantooine representative Rian No’Kesta.

We have managed to make our way into the Jedi Temple on Dantooine, where negotiations of the government’s future is under way. It is unclear what will come of this trading of arguments. The Empire is unrelenting and the Republic is providing a strong defense- Wait.. Wait- Something is happening! Are you getting this?? The Jedi Master is being aggressive and is shouting towards the representative of Dantooine! What has gotten into him!?

We have to see what is going on! Here he comes now! Mister No’Kesta! A word please!?.. Will you be taking what has happened here today back to your superiors??

No’Kesta: Yes, of course! We will not be tolerating this from the Jedi! And I will not stand to being insulted to my face!

Le’ma Denat: Insulted!?

No’Kesta: Indeed! If i have anything to say regarding the vote, Dantooine should firmly go with the Empire! I was not impressed today. Not at all.

Le’ma Denat: Thank you for your comments Mr. No’Kesta. Have a good evening.

And there you have it, a sweet deal gone sour. What will the Jedi do? More on this soon. This is Le’ma Denat, signing off!

Word has come in from our correspondents on Bastion that the Imperial military has officially gone to a state of full alert. As much as half of its standing armed forces are already fully mobilized with the bulk of the fleet moving to deploy along the Empire’s Eastern territories.

All inquiries as to the reasoning behind the mobilization have gone unanswered, both inside the Empire itself as well as by contacts within the Republic Senate. Even more alarmingly, the Republic’s own Mid Rim and Outer Rim fleets have begun to mobilize with a number of Norther sector defense forces already on high alert.

More news as it comes…

Last night the Jedi Order and R.S.F launched an attack on the dirt mite nest. For thousands of years the nest proved impossible to locate. While the details of the historic operation are classified, the R.S.F chief told the press that the dirt mite nest and queen have been destroyed. The Jedi Council of Rannon and its Gate Master have yet to comment on their involvement.

Let’s go to the people of Kenzie for comments:

Ru Bah, 79, Human: “*Bah*, I think this is a political stunt. No way they found the nest.”

Alara Yil, 26, Rodian: “I am grateful to the Jedi and R.S.F. With less attacks, it will be easier to farm.”

Tin Qua, 32, Nautolan: “I wish I could’ve seen the Jedi and police put em’ six feet under. Nasty little things!”

Miva Harra, 15, Human: “The Jedi and police had no right killing them. They are animals and acted on instinct. They don’t know any better! Those animals ought to be protected, now that they are likely on the verge of extinction!”

There are no reports of dirt mite sightings. For more news stay tuned…

According to reports by Jedi Master Quoi Axon, the presiding head Librarian on Ossus, the flagship of the Explor-Corp, the Alacrity, has gone missing on an extended survey mission East of the Hutt territories.

Contact with the Alacrity was apparently lost shortly after it passed Kubindi, travelling South along the local trade lane. Inquiries with local Hutt families have yielded no answers and slaver raids are not known to be a significant threat in the region.

We still do not have any leads to the vessel’s whereabouts at this time. The Jedi Order has dispatched a search team in order to find the missing passengers and crew as soon as possible. More to come.

Earlier today the Jedi Order held a press conference on the steps of the Ossus Temple. Members of the Council and the Order were in attendance. After the entirety of the Jedi Council assembled, Grand Master Don’roq took to the podium.

“It is with great honour that I am formally announcing the re-founding of an ancient and prestigious institution. An institution that has served alongside the Jedi Knights for a thousand years. Made of dedicated men and women otherwise unable to feel the Force but serve the Jedi Order all the same.

This institution is the Antarian Rangers.

Work has been done to both recruit and train promising new members for the past several years and, while I cannot disclose official numbers, the majority will be stationed at the Ossus Temple, and the rest deployed among the Order’s facilities.

The Jedi Council has appointed Pers Antilles of Corellia to be Ranger General, a former commander in CorSec and veteran of the Imperium War. We believe he is well suited for the position, and has already done tremendous work, playing a huge role in building the Rangers to their current position.

It is the Council’s belief that the Antarian Rangers will make the Order’s job of providing peace, justice easier for many years to come.

Thank you, and may the Force be with you.”
