Good morning Imperial citezens! It’s time for your Weekly Holonet News Update!
Recent Events-
- About two weeks ago, the Imperial Intelligence Bureau (IIB) received word that a Jedi terrorist cell had been discovered on-world, just outside of the Imperial City on Coruscant. Luckily, Imperial military was able to successfully raid their hideout before they could accomplish whatever destructive objective they had planned. Many of these Jedi however somehow managed to escape off-world. Investigative teams believe this was possibly due to the sabotaging of a planetary defense tower, which resulted in the tragic deaths of several brave members of Imperial Security. Survivors and witnesses of the attack say that two Jedi killed these guards by utilizing illegally manufactured lightsabers and vicious ‘force powers’. It was even reported that one of the Jedi devoured several of them...
Not long after their retreat, Imperial Naval forces were able to track the Jedi to another hidden terrorist base on the backwater forest world of Kashyyyk. An Imperial reconnaissance unit was sent on-world to eradicate remaining hostile forces. Although the unit has not yet declared their mission a success, they maintain that they have the situation under control. There are rumors however that the Navy may send in back up forces to support them.
Political Updates-
- After centuries of a less than passive ‘neutrality’, many of the noble houses of the Hapes Consortium are expressing a desire to open up trade with Imperial businesses and are even considering accepting the Empire as their ally. However, there are still many other houses, including the Queen Mother herself, who are still in opposition to an Imperial-Hapan alliance of any sort.
Buisness/Finance-
- Today CEC (Corellian Engineering Corporation) had to completely halt production at their main facility on Corellia after a malfunctioning droid-brain caused one of their newest model freighters to automatically activate its weapon systems and fire on other ships in the production line. CEC, usually well known for the reliability of their vessels, has never had a reported drop in production this bad in about 600 years.
Engineering/Technology-
- Researchers at the Imperial-Verpine labs have announced their latest work in the field of hand-held sonic technology. They say that with this technology they can create a universal multi tool, useful in any and all situations. They claim “It will be able to do anything; from disabling bombs in the field, to activating all your other technology without pre-programming, to putting up cabinets at home.”
Entertainment-
- Swoop fans are in a clamor this week as former child prodigy Imperial stunt pilot Dorin Gann announced that he would be joining the official swoop circuit and plans on participating in the upcoming season. Gann, whose family has been apart of the Imperial hierarchy for centuries, has been aiming to prove his superiority in all forms of piloting skills since age 10. He currently holds the top records in stunt piloting, speeder racing, and pod racing. It would come as no surprise to anyone if he proceeded to dominate the swoop world as well.
