Leadership in dire straights after bizzare policy decision


The leadership of Maximus Strand Kuat is hanging by a thread after a bizzare policy decision that was announced earlier this morning. Citing the Sith, whom Kuat has just signed a treaty with and the Jedi, who have been criticised for being too passive; Strand has taken several moves towards isolation which have severely damaged consumer confidence as well as the populace's faith in his leadership.

All immigration has been suspended until further notice, a move which has outraged citizens and fellow government officials alike. The suspension has left almost a billion citizens out of work for the time being, leading to planetwide protests.

In a further hit to the Kuati economy, Strand has suspended all trade and travel ties with Bothan Space, Nal Hutta, Nar Shaddaa, Corellia, Coruscant, Tepasi; the list goes on. Military commanders are refusing to follow orders unless trade is reinstated and most of the population is protesting. Unless something is done soon the riots could turn violent.

[size=7]ALSAKAN UPHEAVAL[/size]

Today, people have gathered in the streets demanding to see thier leader. Footage was leaked into the news today from inside the President's house. The footage shows the President entering a room, but never exiting it. It also shows a person not on listed personel entering the room also and never leaving. Many officials demand to see the President or they he will be considered unfit for office and replaced.

This footage was obtained by Intelligence officers from an unknown source. Some people have rumours the agents were from Mandalore, but nothing can be proven.

Unless the President appears in public, major hits for Alsakan

[size=7]ALSAKAN ANNOUNCEMENT[/size]

Today the Alsakan President made the following announcement. He has yet to appear in public, but this has been broadcast globally.

"Ladies, gentlemen, people of all ages; it is time I let you in on something that I should have told you all the moment I found out about it. My life is in danger and has been since I disappeared from home. Assassins from the planet Mandalore have broken into my home and tried to assassinate me; one of whom is still in custody. This blatant violation of Alsakani sovereignty has left me only one choice.

As of this moment, a state of war exists between Alsakan and Mandalore. This is not a decision I have made lightly, but it is one that I feel is necessary in order to send a message to Mandalore that Alsakan is not a planet to be trifled with.

I am currently in hiding and have been that way since I used a secret passage to sneak out of the palace to avoid Mandalore's assassins. They have tried to use you, the public of Alsakan, to force me to reveal my position so that they may complete their task.

I have received reliable information that some of our agents have been compromised by the assassins and it is these agents who have been circulating rumors about me. There will shortly be warrants issued for the arrest of these agents for treason.

I will make a public appearance soon enough, but only once there have been sufficient safeguards put in place by the few loyal agents that I have at my side. I urge the citizens of Alsakan to be strong in this dark time; soon enough we shall again be at peace."

[size=7]GUARDS GO MISSING ON ORD MANTELL, ORD MANTELL SIGNS TREATY OF MIGHT[/size]

Today, a few guards went missing at the abode of the Governer Byron on Ord Mantell today. Governer Byron came forward to make this statement later today in a press conference.

"I am very sorry for the families of my guards who have gone missing. I will see to it their killers are hunted down and imprisoned for this evil crime. I myself am fortunately unharmed. With the recent events and rumours on Alsakan I intend to double my original bodyguard and ensure my safety. As you can see, I stand before you today, well and alive. I am no hologram.

*Governer Byron chuckles*

Further more, I will sign the Treaty of Might and seek assistance from the Sith and Galactic Empires. Whilst the galaxy is divided I don't feel safe, and I fear for the safety of Ord Mantell."

As such, Ord Mantell has signed the Treaty of Might. He has also pledged to aid the Sith in exchange for personal protection and the protection of Ord Mantell. As allies of the Sith, they also sign the Galactic Empire's treaty.

[size=7]METELLOS HANDS OVER POWER[/size]

The leader of Metellos today agreed to become a member of the galactic Empire and effectively hand over power to the Empire. Whilst he remains in control, Metellos is now an Imperial world. Fear and panic is being to spread amon neutral worlds with so many worlds acting strangly. Alsakan, Ord Mantell, and now Metellos. Many world leaders are putting their forces on high alert for any intruders...

Metellos now controlled by the Empire.

[size=8]Mandalore Moves into Seculusion[/size]

Mandalore has offically cloaed off all access to its planet, saying it is doing so temporarily for planetary security reasons. While some, notably bounty hunters and those in higher classes, have disregarded this and travel to and from the planet regardless, official businesses have cut off all trade, respecting the planets wishes.

While there are many who are not affected by this, because Mandalorians are generally by nature self-sufficent or ignorant of laws, this is expected to have a lasting effect on the economy. So far significant loses have occured and the economy is not expected to recover much when the trade hiatus is removed, mainly because insability is not a good selling point to any business.

Effects:
Mandalore enters isolation.
-5 DP (So, how are we supposed to sell goods?)
-70% GDP
0% GDP Growth

In an unprecidented display of confidence, the people of Naboo for the first time, have unnanimously elected a Queen to the royal throne.

Previouslt known as Maria Elenthin, she now has the rights, privledges, and titles to be held as the Queen of the Naboo.

It cannot go without mention that this is the first time that the Queen has ever been elected without any NAY votes.

Her Majesty Commented earlier

"I believe that this vote, was a true show of the people, to display their continued hope for prosperity. They have made their decision, and it is my great Honor to take the throne, in the service of my People."

Results:

Maria takes the Throne of Naboo (Akarin)

[size=7]Bastion Upgrades![/size]


The Emperor has issued orders for the stock market to be opened. All public companies and corporations operating on Bastion have released their shares enticing the public to flush the economy with un-estimated thousands of Credits. Thus creating prosperity and independence amongst the masses of the planet and allowing the government to increase it's productivity almost ten fold.

The Government has also agreed to formalise education on Bastion with the construction of planet wide universities and a minor number of Specialist advanced academies. The Academies will focus on perfecting a particular technological advancement, thereby increasing the planets' technological achievements and infusing Bastion with an extremely intelligent population.

This program will also create the Bastion Open University (BOU) which will not only teach the people of Bastion but anyone else who wishes to attend from anywhere across the galaxy. The University will be based in Imperial City and the teachers will come from all the Imperial worlds (the best of the best).

Today the Emperor, announced the unification of a planet wide Transportation Organisation. The BTS, Bastion's Transport Service, will encompass land, sea and air travel for all public sectors on Bastion, helping to connect almost all settlements and cities in a publicly funded effort to boost the economy and welfare of the planet's citizens.

All proceeds from the Transport will go directly back into the service, allowing for convenience and quality. The government will take no profit and listen to the public frequently on ways to improve this much appreciated service. As well as transporting public to and from the cities, enabling them to spend money in new businesses to flush more finance into the economy, the BTS will open up thousands of employment opportunities and benefits for all communities on Bastion.

[size=7]Imperial Construction Company[/size]

The Emperor recently announced, almost in conjunction to the purchase of new JTC shares, the founding of a purely Imperial Construction Company. The ICC has many levels of subsidary companies backing the front program, the Imperial Shipyards above Sullust and Bastion.

New Company Logo

This enterprise aims to aid the Empire worlds and supporters of the Imperial rule only, excluding all relations with the Ascendency. The Cheif Executive Officer of the ICC is named Baron Bobb of Sullust who will take full responsibility and public relations for the company.

The massive spending and publicity hype for the program should see the sucess of the Imperial Construction Company.

[size=7]ALSAKAN CORRUPTION STRIKES AGAIN![/size]

Today, 1/4 of the Alsakan Treasury has gone missing, with no clues to its location. The alsakani treasury was be electronically transferred to a holonet relay near Da Soocha. This was then destroyed, and the remains have vanished. The agents inquestion managed to evade Alsakan forces, but thanks to Nile Borgir's foresight Alsakan has not been left penniless like the Mandalorians.
Although the Alsakan government are not pointing the finger right now, several worlds including Ord Mantell say the fact that Fondorian ships refused to let the Inquistion and the Empire throught prior to this event implicates then in the crime. As such, they should be put under investigation.
Even now, the Imperial and Ascendancy fleets are facing off over Alsakan.

Niles Borgir has called the Fondorian ships to stand down and leave Alsakan air space immediately. The same goes for Imperial ships.

Alsakan no longer Hutt controlled.

[size=7]Dantooine Military Academy[/size]

Dantooine has begun the construction of a new military academy on their world, near Khoonda. The government has allocated 550,000 Credits to build this Academy and it will be a head recruiting zone for Dantooine, training officers and potentials in the basics of command. Only time will tell how this will improve the military effectiveness of Dantooine but for now, the people are fairly happy about the Academy.

[size=7]Loki Speaks Out[/size]

Today, Loki made the following speech on Fondor and we have a copy of it:

Quote:
 
"People of Fondor...people of the Ascendancy. In the recent past we have been wronged, but today...they have gone too far. Many innocent civilians have lost their lives, the livelihoods of countless others have been destroyed. But our resolve has been strengthened, we must stand together and rebuild. We must rebuild and improve so that we may strike fear into the hearts of those that desire to see us cower. Stay strong, stay united and stay free!"


After the speech, he announced a 21 Billion credit investment into dealing with the damaged buildings and compensating the people.

A complete overhaul and new security procedutre was implemented across Fondor, this not only secures the government buildings but also protects the officials of the government and the people of Fondor are that bit more secure.

Their was also a recruitment drive held but with the recent attacks, their was an unwillingness to join so it unforuntatly failed. The government did however sucessfully launch 20 Warrior-class Gunships to Nal Hutta, where they will be under the command of Nal Hutta. They are there on official Ascendancy business to "work in cooperation with the resourceful Hutts to find and destroy the Terrorist threats to Fondor".
