    MASSACRE AT NAR SHADDAA

    Nar Shadaa, the Vertical City, the Smugglers Moon,

    was wracked with a travesty so massive that every

    citizen has taken to the streets in search for blood.

    This past week, terrorists infiltrated the Hutt

    Consortium Tower, killing personnel indiscriminately,

    laying waste to pleasure and slave chambers alike.

    Their target: Durga the Hutt. They went down

    Durgas private elevator to his party room, where

    they then cut down any who stood in the way. Some

    quick thinking personnel managed to have his Great

    Obesity escape via an internal escape system to his

    personal craft on top. When he narrowly escaped

    into space, they followed, these terrible people, but

    not before planting explosives in key points of the

    tower, so that when they left, it ignited, explodingdown to the central pillars holding it up, eventually

    tipping and falling, causing the entire Correlian Sector

    to fall apart, go on fire, and generally finish what they

    started. Deaths are in the hundreds of thousands,

    and now every smuggler, bounty hunter, crime lord

    and saboteur are on their way to avenge the fallen.

    Consider yourselves marked, whoever you are,

    because there will be no mercy, I assure you.

    Anybody whos pocket has just gotten lighter, whos

    friends are gone, and who has nothing but hate leftfor you, may whatever gods you believe in have

    mercy on you, because I assure you they who are

    coming for you will not.

    MYGEETO: A PRAYER FOR THE REFUGEES

    Everyone, regardless of who or where you are,please take a moment of silence for the

    estimated 400 billion people who died in the

    terrible tragedy at Mygeeto, Yaga Minor, and

    hundreds of planets who in but a moment

    forever ad their voices silenced. The supernova

    was a surprise, but the five minutes that it took

    to destroy the entire sector meant that those on

    the furthest reaches experienced their deaths

    with the horrendous consequence of knowing

    the exact time and the exact horribly measure bywhich they will be killed, incinerated where they

    stood, where they prayed, and even where they

    loved. In but a few short minutes, every man,

    woman, and child faced their deaths heroically,

    unflinchingly, and hopefully at peace before the

    holocaust hit. So I ask you, before you read

    further on, please take a moment to read this

    prayer and recite it in the memory of all the

    loved ones who are now buried amongst the

    stars, the fathers who will not return to theirwives, the mothers who will never see thei

    children once more, and for all the children who

    will never get to experience the pleasures of

    living:

    Tonight I light a candle for all the memories,

    those of the mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers

    lost to the towering inferno;

    Tonight I light a candle to mourn all those whodied, those who no longer need to fear the flames

    of the galaxy;

    Tonight, I light a candle for all the refugees who

    saw the face of darkness and still walk among us,

    touched by the hand of fear, and I pray that they

    may find peace;

    Tonight, I pray for all those who lost family

    and loved ones to this tragedy, who wish to

    have held their hand one more time, heard

    one more word, had one more laugh;

    Tonight, I will stand united with the victims

    of this tragedy and help them heal their

    hearts and their minds.

    IMMEDIATE IMPACT

    At approximately 17:35 Galactic Standard

    Time, a massive explosion ripped a hole inour beautiful galaxy. In but a small

    moment, the lives, dreams, and hopes of

    400 billion species were forever silenced. A

    supernova, of a ferocity and size never

    experienced before, ripped through the

    Outer Rim Territories, disintegrating nearby

    sector, odd for the singular whisper of a

    supernova. Regardless, I will not downplay

    this terrible situation by proposing theories

    on perhaps nefarious outside involvement.

    The people who died, either facing itbravely, sadly, or even at peace are now a

    memory, strong enough to maybe even

    unite the two sides of this war to provide

    care for the survivors and meaningful

    change in a terrible crisis that would

    otherwise fall to the side as both sides

    continue mobilization. In the name of the

    galaxy, in the names of all those who died

    and who are suffering in dirty field

    hospitals and decrepit burned buildings,we need peace now!

    planets, and burning or irradiating

    outlying worlds leading to an

    unprecedented galactic catastrophe

    with a 99.9% mortality rate. And yet,

    could it have been avoided?

    MYSTERIOUS CAUSES?

    Such a massive explosion in this day and

    age should have and very well could

    have been predicted. In fact, reports

    from the sector showed the health of

    the sun to be near pristine, since the

    Outer Rim Territories were late formed

    for our galaxy, and their suns were

    among the youngest. In fact, the deepcore has a few suns that have been

    under constant observation for this type

    of threat, but such an event outside of

    the oldest stars has simply never

    happened. A supernova of such

    intensity has never occurred either,

    almost like it was continuing to be

    forced forward by some back force that

    is unknown to scientists. Also, the oddly

    red green glow of the massive explosionand flames do beg some consideration.

    Also, some passing craft reported

    hearing two explosions rocket in that

    DESECRATION OF KORRIBAN

    This past week saw a massive

    increase in tomb robberies, raiding,

    and in general break-ins at sacred

    sites and ancient crypts. Was itbecause of me? At least one would-

    be me was caught and said that he

    had inspiration from my previous

    article about the interesting things I

    found on Dantooine. Well, I am here

    to do two things: to say it is not my

    responsibility when idiots get caught

    doing what I love to do, and to also

    chide those who get to do my job

    before I get to it! Korriban was mynext destination!

    Afterward, I tried to get in, but the

    door was so badly bent inward that it

    would not budge until I tried getting

    through with a plasma cutter (though

    judging by the markings on the door

    someone already attempted this and

    failed) Once within, the beautiful

    statues were crumbled, the floors

    scarred, and all the artifacts were

    pilfered by someone. It was almost

    cruel, crushing my hopes. Ahhhh,

    whatever, Im already at Ossus so

    good luck getting in before me, tomb

    robbers. Whoopiee!

    Anselm Miclyne

    Well, regardless, I might as well tell

    you why I went there in the first

    place. I was going to go grab the

    mask of Marka Ragnos, a powerful

    artifact that at one point shifted not

    only the direction of the spin of our

    galaxy but also allowed new worlds to

    be birthed and ended. As such, my

    hopes were high, until I saw what I

    was dealing with. The first major

    obstacle to the tomb was a massive

    corpse of a sith wyrm, as large as a

    small city and more deadly

    supposedly, but it looked like

    someone scambled its brains all over

    the valley.

    THE BURNING OF CORUSCANT!

    This past week, Coruscants planetary shield generator was destroyed in what appears to be a

    terrorist act undertaken by fringer groups. Fringer groups exist within the wild space bordering

    the unknown regions and have consistently lobbied for representation within the senate. Now,

    their terrorist action has brought down the only thing keeping Coruscant safe from an ever larger

    host of enemies. Grand Admiral Thrawn and the war machine of the Imperial Remnant have takenthis opportunity to deploy shielded asteroids, creating another even stronger debris shield around

    our lovely planet, and just like the starcraft debris, they will eventual fall and cause immeasurable

    destruction. Unlike the metallic parts of starcraft, that burn up most or cause fixable damage, an

    asteroid of the average proportions would be enough to eliminate a quarter of a hemisphere upon

    impact. New Republic Authorities estimate

    that there are at least one hundred of these

    massive asteroids around Coruscant, and

    unlike before, when daring smugglers and

    other diehards would chance the passage

    through, it is estimated that the chances of

    emerging merely alive are 1 in 727 billion.

    Good luck to all of your supply runners, as

    food and water are increasingly becoming

    scarce, and even basic services are becoming

    rather stretched thin as the war rages on.

    May those who are on Coruscant please hold

    on until supply lines get fixed once more.

    Until then, care for your neighbors and take

    this time to truly display the spirit of giving

    that unites the New Republic.

    RISE OF THE

    REMNANT

    War is upon us. Again. This time, an upstart

    Imperial Admiral has declared war on

    everybody responsible for the Emperors

    death. A little late to the game, isnt she.

    Someone apparently didnt tell her that the

    Emperor died some 5 years ago now, and it

    seems that she must have lived or guardedsome backwater area because she couldnt be

    trusted or because she was a woman.

    Regardless, this upstart will eventually be

    crushed. She may have established a foothold

    in Hutt space, but if there is anything that the

    galaxy knows, it is to never take anything from

    a Hutt. Her small fleet will fall quite easily, just

    like her daring but ultimately futile attack on

    Nal Hutta. I say, good luck to her actually, she

    will need it if she thinks that she canreestablish the empire under her image. She

    already has picked a fight with Thrawns forces,

    so she cant seem to get any allies in this, and

    the New republic will not tolerate another

    warlord, so overall, this is one threat that will

    burn and fizzle out eventually, like any

    feminine trends. Anyway, take care this week

    everyone, it has been a rough one for the

    galaxy. I hope that by this time next week we

    still have some sort of readership base, whatwith all these sectors blowing up and all. Good

    luck and good health.

    BOTHAN ALLIANCE

    The Bothan Alliance has decided to

    support the New Republic today,

    launching its fleets against nearby Imperial

    strongholds and even assaulting crime

    centers in Hutt Space. Needless to say this

    did not please the Hutts. Today, Minister

    of State Leia Oregana has signed a new

    treaty with the Alliance, who will provide

    five new fleets to the war effort of the

    New Republic. This is a good move on

    their part, seeing how close Admiral

    Daalas forces are to Bothan Space and

    just how likely it is that without assistance

    they will be overwhelmed. Good luck to

    them and to all the fighting men and

    women in the New Republic.

    HUTT CONSORTIUM

    On a more bitter note, the Hutt Cartelshave effectively declared war against

    everybody, starting operations against

    Admiral Daalas Forces in the East and

    Bothan Forces to the South. Once allies

    with the Bothans, these overgrown

    space slugs have decided that they did

    not have enough territory and money to

    their names and decided to slither their

    way into other peoples business. I can

    only give one word of advice for them:watch out for our giant saltshakers,

    Hutts. You will find that a reinvigorated

    Republic will not be so easy a being to

    defeat as you would have liked. Also,

    your armor looks tacky and non-

    functional, perhaps you should have

    someone with a brain design something

    better.
