[size=7]Courier Collision![/size]

In the bustling Kuati Ship Yards, all was going smoothly.

Central Command and Traffic Controll, had no reports of Incoming vessels for Port 13.

There were noted on the H-Trakr (Holo-Tracker) two courier ships.
The 50 Meter H.M.S. Regular of Kuat, and the 24 Meter I.C.S. Visk of the Empire.

As the ships were moving on the H-Trakr, one of the monitorial personnel ,First Officer Moere noticed, that the Visk’s course, would take it right into the side of the Regular.

He first used standard procedure, and attempted hailing the Visk. No answer.
With still enough time to spare, he decided to hail the Regular, instead of sounding alarms just yet, as that would scatter the system into a frenzie of chaos.

He hailed the Regular twice, no answer.

He quickly moved over, and pressed the alarm button.

Immediately, alarms on the CCTC Facility began to go off. All personel were called to stations, and the H-Trakr brought up in full view.

It was too late.

They watched as the Visk, collided into the side of the Regular.

Immediately, the Facility was rocked by a shockwave from the explosion that had occurred, the Regular, was split in two, and was beginning to plumet into Kuats atmopshere, while the Visk steadily ruptured, and tore itself apart.

On the planets surface, trajectory indicated that the Regulars hull and debris would crash into the unsuspecting city of New Reaon.

The CCTC Immediately contacted the cities government, and thereafter alarms were sounded to get as many people to safety as possibly.

The Regulars hulk was now entering the atmosphere, and accelerating rapidly due to the gravitational pull of Kuat.

Smoke billowing, and fire blazing, the remnants of the Regulars hull could be seen hurtling towards the city from the sky.

Several seconds later. Impact.

The resulting impact, created a shockwave that would knock nearly anyone standing on their ass. (HAH, we don’t have to leave that of course, but it would be funny none the less.)

Emergency teams, already prepared for the impact, rushed to the scene.

Quickly putting out the fire, using fire suppression shuttles, the damage could be seen.

12 City blocks, ahead of the initial impact area, were destroyed, it was apparent that the collision area was a business sector. With about 20 or so businesses housed in the buildings, as well as an old theatre.

The crater was as long as 100 meters, and 25 meters deep on the far end, and up to 75 meters deep where the initial impact had taken place.

-Government Officials have already begun investigating the incident, and hope to come to a conclusion as to why this has happened.
A comment from the Spatial Investigation Bureau-
“Nothing like this has occurred in over 5 Years. Even in that incident, it wasn’t Couriser ships, it was Shuttles!”

Results

-1,700 Kuati Citizens Dead or Injured
-1 LP (Whats going on?!)
-Couriers were owned by Independent Companies.


Kuati and Imperial Governments Investigating the Incident.

Reunification of Hutt Space

Earlier today, Boorka Anjiliac Sai, head of the Anjiliac Kajidic of Nal Hutta announced the reformation of the Hutt Grand Empire. The Anjiliac clan has long ruled over the remnant of the Hutt Grand Council and it was more a formality than anything else according to political analysts on the scene. The larger Hutt families are pleased with this new development, especially the Desilijic Clan, whose most famous member was Jabba the Hutt. They have been permitted to retain control of Tatooine in its relatively autonomous state.

What this new development will mean for the fledgling Republican Ascendancy, of which Nal Hutta is currently a member, nobody knows.

[size=7]SULLUST JOINS THE EMPIRE[/size]

Yes, Sullust officially under Imperial control. The Imps now own all the rights to Sullust ships as well, a gift from their leader. Though strangly, a portion of the treasury has gone missing. 10% was stolen by an embessling employee. When caught and questions, he said he lost all the money gambling. How he lost all that money is a question everyone is asking, but the money has gone and he has admitted to the crime.

[size=7]SITH SAVE THE DAY![/size]

Today, Bilbringi celebrated the union of Bilbringi into the treaty of might after the Sith obliterated a pirate base that attacked the shipyards several days ago. Approxamately 2 days ago, a small pirate force attacked Bilbringi, causing millions of credits of damage and causing a few serious injuries to the crew working there. The leader of Bilbringi, one Talyor Mendal, said after careful deliberation, it became clear the power of a galactic was needed to ensure Bilbringi's future. After signing the treaty of might, the Sith sent large battle fleet consisting of 4 Star Destroyers and around 20 support ships to take care of the pirate menace, wiping them out without prejudice. Now the people of Bilbringi can sleep easy knowing the Sith are watching over them.

Sith now control Bilbringi, Bilbringi signs Treaty of Might.

[size=7]The Bastion Federation[/size]
On Bastion today, the Emperor declared that Naboo, Sullust, Metellos and Kamino had agreed to merge with the Bastion government to create the Bastion Federation.

This Federation gives the Emperor direct control over all 5 worlds in the Federation, renaming the current leader of the worlds, Governors. They will represent their world to the Emperor, while bastion will be represented by the Prime Minister, Julius Cirith.

Press at the signing with Queen Arania of Naboo, President Setretti of Metellos, President Bobb of Sullust, Prime Minister Valtino of Kamino and Prime Minister Julius Cirith of Bastion.

The Federation will become ONE member of the Galactic Empire and remain seperate in from of control. The Emperor of Bastion is the Head of State for the Federation while the Prime Minister of Bastion is the Head of Govenment for the Federation.

With such a merging of planets, the Empire is looking like a powerful and organisaed group.

[size=7]Joint Transport Corporation[/size]

In a surprise move today, the Glee Anselm High Council announced a new project for the sole purpose of increasing the Income to the systems economy.

The Joint Transport Coporation (JTC), will serve as the bedrock for Glee Anselms main income and industry. It was orginally to be formed with the aid offered by the Republican Ascendency and Glee Anselms own financial backing. However, the High Councillor made this statement:

Quote:
 
During the recent troubles involving the Alsaken investigation held by the Supreme Justice, Fondor and the Ascendency have become very hostile toward the Independence of Glee Anselm. They have offended and even threatened the leadership and Supreme Justice of the galaxy, a neutral party who has meant no harm or degradation to any system. As a result the High Council has agreed to move the investment of 45% of the shares to the JTC, to the peaceful and respective Empire worlds. The Emperor has accepted and agreed to purchase the shares on behalf of the Empire.


Glee Anselm has retained 51% of the shares while the remaining 4% has been sold to private investors across the galaxy. The JTC main aims appear to be the creation of a luxury cruise liner fleet, for tourists to travel the galaxy and also the creation of luxury hotels, in orbit of Glee Anselm.

The construction of the cruise liners and hotels is expected to take a couple of months. The Corporation is going to hold it's first Board of Director's meeting upon completion, the High Councillor and the Prime Minister of the Bastion Federation are expected to attend.

HeadQuarters of the Corporation have been established on Bastion and Glee Anselm and an advertising campaign has already started.

[size=7]LOKI RUINED[/size]

The following has been broadcast on live TV on many worlds claiming to be a documentary about Mr Loki and the Ascendancy.

*Start Video*

The Fondorian Prime Minister is making a speech, defending Alsakan, taken from the LDC:


Quote:
 
QUOTE 
The Ascendancy will defend the sovereignty of Alsakan at all costs. Until such a time as it is both safe and convenient for an investigation to be conducted on Alsakan, we request that said investigation be postponed. We do not want war, but when the Empire continues to violate the sovereignty of Republican worlds we will defend ourselves.




It then fades to the Supreme Justices statement:


Quote:
 
QUOTE 
Yesterday I assembled my task force in preparation for the investigation. However, upon entering the Alsakan system we were fired upon by the Alsakan military, despite our numerous notifications of pending investigation. This is outrageous, to fire upon the vessel of the Supreme Justice who was merely carrying out his duty to the signatories of the decree in peaceful nature!

Luckily we managed to evade and escape the system, though I clearly understand now that something is out of place. The Alsakan military would not have fired upon ship before this controversy began!

Now, as my legal right to investigation, I call upon all military aid necessary to assist in securing the Alsakan system by force so that I may conclude my investigation.



The following text will then come up in red:

Quote:
 


Fondor and the Republican Ascendancy back Alsakan's illegal military action. They break the Decree of Supreme Justice. They have something to hide and they will not allow anyone to get in their way, even if it means killing people who are just doing their job.




Then, a small clip of Mandalore being orbitally bombarded will be shown, the ships shall ave the Fondor, Dac and Hutt insignia on.

The following text will then come up in red:


Quote:
 

The Republican Ascendancy were behind the Mandalore attack, the Ascendancy are behind the illegal actions happening across the galaxy. The Empire has protected planets sovereignty and will now protect the people of Alsakan.



It then fades to the news article released on Alsakan recently:


Quote:
 
QUOTE 
Today, a shuttle carrying Glee Anselm officials was forced back for Alsakan by an armed blockade. On top of the controversy surrounding Alsakan's leader, the population is starting believe either that the leader is corrupt or something more sinister. Officials are calling for a re-election of the planets leader. The leader's own party has denied him now as the head of party, and he has now been replaced with one Niles Borgir. This appears to be the end of Nickolai Dolohov's reign, although it will take several weeks to hold the re-election, and there are still Nickolai supporters across the planet and in the military. Nile Borgir has asked Nickolai to come forward to prevent this turning into a civil war.



The following text will then come up in red:


Quote:
 
The Republican Ascendancy continue to support the President, even when the people of one of their own worlds do not, surely if they were the great organisation they claim to be, they would not allow one man to come above the people.




This will laid over an image of the fleet from Fondor and Dac firing upon Coruscant and Bastion.

*Video End*


Whilst clearly graphics have been used on the last part, some wonder about the Mandalore footage. Regardless, the documentary has split the population on Fondor and other Ascendancy worlds about Mr Loki, and several Imperial worlds, as this is either unveiling Fondor's lies or a MASSIVE propaganda attack by the Empire.


Worlds suffer LP hits.

Ascedancy - Fondor does what now?!
Empire - This is clearly crap, why are we sinking so low?

[size=7]Designs Stolen...[/size]

Shocking news today, the Executor-class Star Dreadnought and MC100 Viscount-class Star Defender designs were stolen from Fondor and Dac respectively.

It appears, during a mass riot across both worlds shipyards, the designs were downloaded onto a holodisk, no more information is available.

Posted Image
Staff being interrogated on Fondor, the same is happening on Dac

All staff have been retained for individual questioning and the people of Dac and Fondor worry about what this could do for business.

Once again the Ascendancy is called in to disrepute and the culprits are unknown, all that we can say is that ships from Coruscant, Glee Anselm, Alsakan, Colla IV and Dantooine where noted as leaving Fondor and Dac space around the time of the robbery, these ships where their legally as trading vessels.

[size=7]EMPEROR ON TOUR...[/size]

The Emperor today made a speech on the following from his personal ISD II, the eye of Bastion:

Quote:
 
The Recent Alsakan Situation
The current Fondor and Dac situations (Inc Design Theft and Video)
The State of the Empire
The Imperial Construction Company Address
JTC Details
The Bastion Federation Address
The Ascendancy
and finally, the Future


The speech was made in the LDC and this fleet was stationed above Bastion when made.

In the future, the Fleet shall then depart to Naboo for 1 day to meet the Governess and address the people and then do the same to the following planets, in this order, Sullust, Metellos and Kamino.

The Emperor and his fleet will then travel to the following worlds for a state dinner with the Leader and a night of entertainment, paid by the Empire. In this order, Coruscant, Mustafar, Thyferra, Corellia and Cato Neimoidia.

The fleet will then return home.

Result:

LP boosts to Imp worlds - Yay the Emperor!

Emperor immune to assassination due to the thousands of clone troopers around him plus spec. ops.

[size=7]NEIMOIDIANS, UNITE![/size]

Today, all the Neimoidian worlds signed control over to Cato Neimoidia. A rather suprising move, as Deko did so with a smile on his face, but Pure and Koru seemed slight agitated. But since the majority of Neimoidians are cowards, it makes no difference who is pulling the political string to them. Regardless, Cato now has supreme power over Neimoidian worlds, in the now proclaimed Neimoidian Federation. The President of Bastion himself came to see the ceremony where Cato's leader, King Haako accepted leadership of the Federation.

Cato now Neimoidian Federation.

Cato:

[size=7]ALL SYSTEMS GO![/size]

To cap off the recent events, the Corellian System is now united under the control of the dikat of Corellia. Talus and Tralus are fine with joining the Empire, Drall kept muttering about 'The people, I must protect the people', and the Triads were laughing as they signed, their pockets somewhat larger than normal. Whatever their reasons, Corellia is now a united system and the people seem happy enough. The Bastion Minister of State was there to observe the proceedings.

All Corellian system worlds now Five World Federation

[size=1]OOC - yes, this is ok since Han Solo in one of the books said how at one time all the species in the corellian system got on very well. This is a return to those times.[/size]

[size=7]TERROR STRIKES[/size]

Today, a new Terrorist group, the Independent Liberation Front (ILF) made attacks on Fondor, Dac, Rendili, Colla IV, Coruscant and Naboo. Massive damage was sustained, and the leader of Rendili is dead.

Posted Image
Rendili Government Buildings after the attack

The attacks, using seismic charges, were suicide attacks targeting the power generators of major production facilites, or government buildings. Fondor, Dac and Rendili have lost their shipyards, and all that was being produced in them, and Colla IV has lost their construction facilities. The attacks on governmental builds were unsucessful on Fondor, Dac and Colla IV thanks to security precautions, but the buildings themselves were damaged, and theives used the confusion as an excuse to steal small sums of the money from the treasury, although rather small amounts, no more than 5%. On Coruscant and Naboo, the attacks also damaged the governmental buildings, but the leader's were not hurt. Furthermore, a market place was caught in the attack, killing many civilians. Sadly on Rendili though, the leader was killed throwing the world into utter chaos.

The ILF released a video claiming responsibility for the attacks and threaten to attack another world every week until the Ascendancy and the Empire either disband or guarantee independence to every world who wants it, in writing.

People are fleeing all these worlds in fear of further attacks, since they seemed to spring from no where and with no sign of this being the end.

[size=7]IMPERIAL RECOVERY[/size]

The Emperor is making the following speech to all Imperial Worlds:

"My people, this is a grave time for the Galaxy, the threat from this Terrorist organisation is serious and we must move to stop it nor. That is why I am passing a Decree, the decree is the following:

Imperial Decree 0001
Noting the threat from terrorist groups across the galaxy, the Empire will now instigate a new state of security.

All Imperial officials will be under constant guard. Their will be permanent guards around Government buildings and the Imperial Intelligence Bureau will be allocating a personal guard to each planetary leader. Holocams will monitor all government officials at all times of the day and night, of course, bathrooms and lavatories will not be monitored, while they are out and about, otherwise the security guards will be left to due their duty.

The residencies Imperial officials will be under constant surveillance. The Chamber of Justice is free to apprehend anyone they feel have committed or aided the terrorist actions and place them on trial if evidence shows they have committed offences. All areas of high sensitivity, restricted areas and high security zones will be kept under constant watch. Guard shifts will be doubled in number and lowered slightly in frequency to allow overlapping to maximize coverage.
The Emperor now authorises the Death sentence for anyone found guilty of an act of treason or terrorism.

Also note, the same security standards will spread to Imperial Construction facilities.


I do this to protect our worlds from these kind of attacks. I am also sending medical aide and re-construction groups to Naboo and Coruscant to fix the issues. We are also doubling the immigration standards and security to make sure the risk of terrorists entering our worlds is reduced.

For the Empire and for the people.”


Results:

Funds and medical aide etc to Naboo and Coruscant
Bastion/Coruscant
+ 10 LP - Horray for the Emperor!
+1.5/+3 GDP - Things being fixeded

+ 5 LP for all other Empire worlds
