Imperial Forces Victorious in Meridian Sector :: Posted By Orphaea Imperium
Imperial forces have seen a resounding victory in engagements against pro-Republican mercenary group Renegade Inc in their home sector of Meridian. Over a period of several hours, Imperial forces in coalition with a dissilusioned cadre of Renegade Inc officers struck simultaneously in prearranged locations to establish themselves on planets in the sector.
As a result, the Empire has established cities on all of Renegade Inc's planets in Meridian sector to the extent that it is no longer a question of 'if' the Empire can take the sector.
Imperial forces also captured an undisclosed number of Renegade Inc ships and personnel, while the supporting Renegade officers impounded materials and NPCs in private ships.
The Empire is believed to be in negotiations with Renegade Inc command as to the fate of the sector and the group's captured hardware and people.

Jedi Exterminated By New Sith Lord :: Posted By Orphaea Imperium
Rumours already precede the return of Lieutenant Krall to his Legion, but today, a statement has been released by Darth Vraith. We will proceed to give you the full content of said release.
A cloaked figure appears on screen, his hood is folded back, revealing the face of Darth Vraith.
"Mere weeks ago, a feeble Jedi claimed to have seen the light of Darkness, and wanted to join the ranks of the Sith. His name? Aurelius Brutus. He claimed he was being "held back" by his tutors, not able to fully tap into his potential. We have shown him the path of the Sith; it is not a forgiving one."
"Lieutenant Geno Krall of the Imperial Army has been training with Lady Zerona Corinth for some time now, and it was time for him to pass his rite of initiation. He has indeed passed it, and will from now on carry the title of Sith Lord. Lord Krall took command of an Imperial Carrack-class and proceeded to a rendez-vous with the Jedi. I have received the following transmission before Lord Krall ordered the ship back to Coruscant."
The image of Darth Vraith is replaced by a man in an officer's uniform of the Imperial Army, without any rank insignia. His face is covered in blood, and his right hand holds a bloody Vibroblade. Upon closer inspection you notice that his lower jaw is clearly an artificial replacement of the original.
"It is done."
As if to provide proof, a lightsaber hovers above his opened and extended left hand, suspended by the Force. Then the image changes back to Darth Vraith.
"I am hereby awarding Lord Krall with the Imperial Bronze Star for his actions in enticing and subsequently eliminating an enemy of the State; a Jedi. Lord Krall will continue to serve in the Imperial Army in his current assignment."
"I would also like to take this opportunity to commend the Imperial Navy and its senior staff in accommodating Lord Krall with this vessel on very short notice."
The image of Darth Vraith vanishes as the Sith Master turns away.

Rebelling Outer Rim Authority :: Posted By Goth
Today, the Emperor announced that the IORA has been suspended from the city-state accords. The former Imperial Outer Rim Authority has decided that its objectives of money and power are best served by leaving behind the Empire and disobeying the Emperor.
The Emperor decided that IORA needed to come under the realm of the Galactic Empire to avoid future events of corruption. Two major events in the past 10 months involving ship production contracts suggested that officials at IORA were less than scrupulous, stealing hundreds and hundreds of ships from unknown origins. The Emperor offered a lavish package to the IORA, including the diversion of all tax resources to Outer Rim coffers, dissolution payments totaling 500 mil, and full access to the Imperial war machine. However, Corrupt Governor Ru decided that it would be in his best interest to keep feeding on the criminal regime present in his territory.
Governor Ru consistently complained about not being granted access to Imperial technology. Correspondents at INB understand that the Empire has extremely high requirements for trustworthiness. The IORA has no moral superiority to pirates, thieves, or even the former Isoldor Storm. Even the Empire could not back them anymore after repeated attempts to quash their illicit ways. Ru will now be fighting a war on two fronts while plundering the goods of his people.
The Galactic Empire will offer amnesty to the true Imperials remaining in IORA for three days. After that point, all persons still in IORA will be declared enemies of the state.

Galactic Co-Operation :: Posted By Josef DeLaurel
Empress Teta (INB)-There have been many rumours circulating recently regarding the relationship change between the Galactic Empire and the well-known Trade Federation. These have varied in extremity from rumours of a political takeover by the Empire to proclamations that the Empire was, in fact, about to undertake a mass extermination of the Federation.
The truth is that the Trade Federation and Empire began working a lot more closely together in an informal manner, hoping to build more formal bridges between the two. These varied from more regular trading contracts and integration of Imperial and Federation civilian populations. These were always limited to ‘private’ ventures however to keep the publicity away from the governments.
This informal relationship has, however, taken it’s first tentative steps towards a formal relationship between the Empire and the Federation. This has come in the form of a joint training operation between the Imperial Navy's 4th Imperial Fleet and elements of the Federation's own Fleet. This operation consisted of the tracking and neutralizing of an ‘enemy’ contact within the confines of a star system. Naval Command chose the 4th because of it’s exemplary record of working together in close nit formations and hoped it would be the best choice in a ‘combined’ operation such as this.
It is hoped by Imperial planners that this operation is the start of a much more close relationship between the Empire and it's Federation partners bringing prosperity to the Federation and yet another ally of the Imperial throne. Only time will tell but more combined operations such as this can only lead to a friendlier atmosphere and a better future for both parties.
