Stories in Depth

Whatever Happened to Andy Longshot?
Year 15 Day 177 The following except is from the Holocron archive page on Pressure Pirates:
"Andy Longshot was conducting a routine trade with Xanxus Drol when several Defilers of Zann Consortium, Vice President of Dark Star Hellions Seth Haze and Ximaro Jix himself leader of Zann Consortium sprung a trap on Andy in the middle of the deal. The "Commodore" of Pressure Pirates was unable to pull his blaster weapon nor escape from the quickly shutting blaster doors. Shortly after being taken down by his old Nomad brother from when Andy himself was an active Nomad Hellion, Andy was executed by Defilers for reasons that can only be speculated. Not long afterwards Ximaro issued a statement via all holovids within the criminal collective which Zann resides over that Lilitu Ningaz and the remaining Pressure Pirates were to be given no quarter and pursued mercilessly."

RIP Commodore Longshot:


Diathim Stalker Gets His Due
Year 15 Day 201:: Martong Wese, the leader of GalEx was replaced today by Krant Tillen. I discovered that this is because Gellert von Falkenstein was informed by Khajan Prax of the many harassment crimes that Martong was bestowing upon so many FF and Tion citizens. Not long after "Fal" informed Mr. Wese that he was fired, Fal was eliciting offers for the sale of Martong's body. It is unknown if he is dead or alive. Last known sighting:


Alleged Con-Man-to-be Trusts Second-rate Pirate
Year 15 Day 208: Jonas Austin, leader of Austin Tech, a new shipbuilder just a few weeks old, claims on the Trader's Lounge holonet forum that his newly appointed 2ic, Kalen von Lorell, has looted his company's credits and made several false sales listings on CPM. Kalen is a known criminal with the kidnapping of an NR member, and now a known pirate with Dread. Dread admits their crimes, but says that that Jonas had schemed to scam buyers, so he should accept his own fate. Austin Tech company has now dissolved.

LBX Betrayal: Xel vs. Xio
On the Trader's Forum, Kraton Xel posted a warning that Impa Xio was a company looter:
"Following the untimely death of CEO, Rennoit LeBeau, Trading conglomerate LBX Holdings will be closing its doors permanently. Immediately after receiving word of LeBeau's death, board member Impa Xio funneled all of LBX's liquid assets to his personal accounts. Caution is recommended for all dealing with Mr. Xio in the future. Remaining assets have been secured and divided among remaining employees or marked for sale at a later date. Any inquiries regarding previous contacts with LBX Holdings can be directed to the former President of the now defunct organization, Kraton Xel. Sector Map sales will continue to be available through Mr. Xel indefinitely."
But on the Trader's Forum, he reports that after LeBeau's apparent suicide, Xio took 1 billion credits out and Xel inherited the faction and assets. Xel transferred ownership of Xio's personal ships, and then some, but Xio did not transfer back half the credits as he promised he would.
On Day 220, Xio fired back in his defense: "Rennoit LeBeau, Kraton, and I all worked together when we were still with a faction called The Exchange. Sometime in Year 14 after my departure from Ellipsis/before the formation of LBX Holdings, Rennoit and Kraton thieved the [company] of its credits (around 300mil at the time) and used that money to form LBX. Given the internal issues at the time, this credit theft along with the taking down of [company] forums (which I believe Rennoit had hosted) rendered the [company] stagnant for the foreseeable future. TXC was a group that treated them well and they turned without apology as soon as things went sour. I was soon after offered a position within LBX. I joined on and took every opportunity to return the favor. Overall, I'm happy with how things have proceeded - profits accrued are just icing."

Breviin Mandos vs Imperial Union vs Jedi
During the past month, a series of GNS articles and holo programs have circulated from all sources involved. Here is a timeline with summaries.
On Day 180, Jedi Medical reported a TSK crime. "Martijn Plagius, an officer of the Tresario Star Kingdom military, was arrested yesterday on suspicions of having conspired with the current de facto holders of Jedi Medical to smuggle assets out of Ossus."
On Day 193, "The Tresarian Crown issued a press release today regarding an unsuccessful operation aimed at capturing a pack of violent criminals associated with the Galactic Alliance in the employ of the Krath Dynasty."
Breviin replied on Day 196, touting their goal of liberation from Imperial Union oppression. "Orchestrated by the Sword of Krath, Aliit'buir Peter Max of Breviin and myself, we have made fools of 'King' Jude Vatz as we persuaded him to hand over hundreds of millions of credits along with a Modular Taskforce Cruiser in exchange for out of date intelligence and falsified documents."
Then on Day 199, Jedi Medical gave an update: " As some may recall, Jedi Medical had been used as a base of operations and bargaining chip by Sith Lord and infiltrator Dorian Tecto, called Darth Volentus during his time as Dark Lord in the Galactic Empire's Sith cult, and Darth Umbris while he led the independent Sith Order.
His nefarious plans were later thrown into disarray when an operation carried out by Grand Master Leodous Kyron and a team of commandos resulted in Tecto's defeat and capture, after a duel which saw two of the greatest warriors alive clash lightsabers. Following that, the imprisoned Sith was unable to nurture any further machinations, and so his plot was considered neutralized."
Soon after, Day 200, Breviin fired back. "Kuat System Engineering has been assaulted by Breviin Mandalorian revolutionaries; our crusader Bel Vossn stole several hundred thousand tons of Ardanium and Duracrete. Contrary to KSE's recent propaganda, the primary objective of this assault was to slow down the production of the AT-AT war machines."

Featured Event:
Jawa Swap Meet
(separate article that was not published, perhaps add in future).

Thank you very much for the submission, I will be reviewing it sometime this week and will get back to you with any edits I may find.

Since this is a work on evolving news, we should reflect on where and how to store it, and who would have access.
May be we could make a Year page on the Holocron, with appropriate links. If Calli is ok with that.

I believe that already exists.

I apologise being picky, but the title "Astrological Discoveries" should be "Astronomical Discoveries." They are not the same things.
