TRADGEDY!
An entire Republic fleet has been destroyed near an undisclosed system. There are rumors circulating that a single separatist ship destroyed the entire fleet single handedly, and that it may be equipped with a new super weapon. The Jedi High Council has appointed Jedi Master Plo Koon to hunt down the super weapon, and destroy it if possible. Given the weapon has already detroyed an entire fleet, it is unlikely that the Jedi master could accomplish this task, espiecially given that the Force does little for the Jedi in space. This means that the Republic officers and troopers with the fleet will be left with only Master Plo Koon's judgment and military experiences for the coming battle. Let us hope they do not befall the same fate as their predecessors. Jedi Master Plo Koon has excellent officers in the Republic to lean on however, and they will without doubt support his hunt for the Separatist Secret Weapon.
In other news, the C.I.S. has opened a new front in the war with their first major offensive. They have attacked the planet of Christophsis along the Corellian Run. Sources say if the Republic cannot stop them here, they will likely get all the way to Corellia itself before encountering meaningfull resistance. If the Separatist can strike so deeply into the galaxy, the even Coruscant may be in danger of invasion. Chancellor Palapatine has appointed Senator Bail Organa of Alderaan to negotiate relief to Christophsis, as other military aid is tied up with the Jedi and their missions. This has left our venerable Chancellor Palpatine with few other options without further emergency powers, as he must work through all the bureaucracy in the Senate.
The Clone Wars drags on with no end in sight, can the Jedi stop the enemy? Can Chancellor Palpatine cut through the suffocating bureaucracy? Only time will tell.
