Jedi: Too Little Too Late

SULLUST - Moments ago Chairman Rajzar Raoub, chair of the Sullustan Planetary Council met as a secure, and undisclosed, location with a Republic delegation.  The delegation broached the subject of assisting Sullust and Sullust assisting the Republic with the Elrood situation.  Unfortunately, the Republic offered too little too late.

Chairman Raoub told the Jedi, "Sullust stands for Sullust. The Republic has forsaken us so we must look elsewhere for help...Why couldn't you have been more responsive sooner?...I'm sorry Jedi. My hand has been forced."

Mysterious Occurrences in Sullustan Fleet

SULON - High above the fertile moon of Sulon the Heavy Cruiser "Permeate" orbits. Inside its hull Captain Michael Benjamin Ebehe wrote a private memo/journal entry that has found its way to the HoloNetNews.

"The unexplained rash of sickness and equipment failure continues. Despite my best efforts there is a lack of forthcoming information to explain these circumstances. The crew is being rotated for infirmary checkups while we wait for investigators from the security force to question both officers and crew to determine if sabotage is the cause. The other captains speak of similar sickness and failures. We must find a resolution and soon before Eriadu strikes again.

Some of the officers have talked about us going alone to help the Republic. They say it is our duty. I have done my best to soothe their minds but I fear that if Chairman Raoub doesn't officially send reinforcements to the Republic a mutiny will be on his hands."

Sullust Prepares Defenses, Responds to Republic's Call for Help

SULLUST - Chairman Rajzar Raoub, chair of the Sullustan Planetary Council, spoke on a new direction for Sullust.

"In the past the people of Sullust have been peaceful despite the centuries of repression we suffered at the hands of Eriadu. Unfortunately, our desire for peaceful existence has been for naught. Eriadu forces have attacked Sullust, have murdered our citizens, and continue to spread falsehoods tarnishing our image. Sullust will not be caught unprotected again.

Sullust has begun preparations to more ably defend ourselves. As I give this announcement a new homeland defense fleet is already being constructed in conjunction with a new all volunteer homeland defense army. We assure our galactic neighbors that these means are to assure our continued existence. We will not use them offensively against those who peacefully coexist with us. To those who intend us harm, however, be warned that you shall not fool us into a sense of false security again. This Sand Cat has fangs and it will use them to defense itself."

Chairman Raoub linked this development to the Republic's open call for additional forces to deal with the Elrood situation. "It is clear to us," says Raoub, "that the Republic has forsaken Sullust to the tender less mercy of Eriadu. It is up to us to defend ourselves and we are unable to lend any of our forces to those who will not assist us in living peacefully. We need every ship we have to defend our people from the vile and oppressive government of Eriadu."

SoroSuub News Bulletin

SULLUST - At the regular SoroSuub Board of Directors and shareholders meeting Rasti Raoub, Chief Executive Officer, cited a decrease in share value due to the recent attacks by Eriadu and false information the leadership of Eriadu has conveyed.

"Eriadu's slander of the Sullustan people and thereby SoroSuub has caused stock prices to plummet. our planet's best economists have traced this directly to Eriadu's deadly attacks and volatile words. In response I ask the board to vote on a resolution that will stop shipments of SoroSuub goods to Eriadu and all planets aligned with those untrustworthy curs."

The board unanimously voted in favor of the resolution declaring an immediate moratorium on all shipments of SSC goods to Eriadu and its allies.

Outer Rim Violence Soars
Eriadu strikes hard.

SULLUST. In a story that is fast developing, Chairman Rajzar Raoub, chair of the Sullustan Planetary Council, announced that a fleet of Eriadu vessels has decimated the SoroSuub Corporation mining operations on Sullust's fourth moon. Raoub, who shared the press conference with SoroSuub Corporation Chief Executive Officer Rasti Raoub, indicated that significant damage was inflicted on the mining operation and that a significant loss of life was suffered.

The mining operation provided vital mineral resources for the growing Sullustan manufacturing industry. This attack is expected to delay production of new consumer goods on Sullust. It will additionally reduce SoroSuub's mining division by 20% in the region.

In his brief news conference, Raoub blamed Eriadu for the resurgence of a long line of repression inflicted on the Sullustan people. Raoub maintains that Eriadu's claims of this attack being in retribution for an alleged Sullustan attack on Eriadu vessels. Raoub states, "Sullust has not attacked Eriadu or any of its inhabitants. Despite Eriadu's centuries lasting repression of Sullust, we maintain a peaceful posture towards our neighbors. This is a flimsy pretense for Eriadu to strike deep attempting to prevent our economic recovery."

Raoub further denies any knowledge of or participation in the alleged attack on Eriadu vessels. Rasti Raoub concurred and expressed a similar sentiment when he declared that this is nothing but government sponsored corporate sabotage by the planet of Eriadu. Both Rajzar and Rasti have expressed outrage over the incident and demand satisfaction.

Fury in the Outer Rim
Eriadu and Sullust close to war.

ERIADU. In a story that is fast developing, Admiral Viktor Roon, Regent of Eriadu, announced that a convoy of Eriadu Manufacturing vessels has been destroyed. Roon indicated that the Baron Sempill, one of three vessels in the convoy, issued a distress call before it was destroyed. The message received indicated that the vessel identified the attacking craft as a Sullustan vessel.

The convoy included the Eriadu transports Baron Sempill, Netherlee, and Ortolan that were carrying spice from the Kessel system to the Eriadu system. Although rescue vessels have not yet arrived on the scene, Roon conceded that he believed the crews of all three transports perished in the attack. Twenty-seven were aboard the Baron Sempill, with another thirty-two aboard the Netherlee and forty-seven aboard the Ortolan for a total of 106 feared lost.

In his brief news conference, Roon lashed out at his Sullustan neighbors, "This act of unprovoked aggression is deplorable. For nearly a century, the worlds of Seswenna have maintained peaceful relations with the worlds of Sluis. My heart goes out to the families of those who lost their lives in this treacherous act. I promise swift retribution to the people of Eriadu and indeed all people who support our cause. This act will not go unpunished.


A History of Violence

At one time, the worlds of the modern day Mayagil and Sluis Sectors were ruled from Eriadu and brutally subjugated under the suzerainty of the House of Seswenna. As the Seswenna Sector neared collapse and defeat in the Great Trade War a century ago, the Galactic Senate intervened to negotiate a settled truce between the warring parties. Eriadu's centuries long repression of the Sullustan and Sluisi races was a main factor in the Senate's decision to eventually dissolve the Seswenna Sector altogether.

The brutal violence that erupted soon thereafter between the former worlds of the Seswenna Sector caused great alarm in the Senate, and Jedi Master Will Hija was dispatched to negotiate an end to the civil war. The resulting treaty created the present Mayagil and Sluis sectors under the direct protection of the Republic, and seriously curtailed Eriadu's dominance of the region. Since that time, the only damage has come in the form of a bruised ego for Eriadu.
