Corellian News Briefs (8/5/19)
CORONET CITY - Newly installed Prime Minister Victoria Scatter was sighted spending several hours gambling in the notorious Blue Sector last week! "I just got lucky is all " she said walking away at the end of the night winning a HyperGem Ring. Admiral Mus'pell Vharos of the Eyttyrmin Corsairs, demolished in record time took home 800 credits from the tournament joking, "Guess I should have let my Monkey play!" A good time was had by all and free drinks almost led to one cat-fight among the players, but some questioned if the Prime Minister should be partying hard with all of the problems of the city and planet these days, while others defended her "Some people don't like anything."
SELONIAN TUNNEL NETWORK, CORONET - We still have very little information on what is going on below the ground of Coronet City but sources continue to send in footage. If you have information on what is it that is transpiring contact us. It is alarming to say the least, all we know as this point is it’s all somehow connected to this “Golden Mask” cult and involved this “Klora the Hutt” who is suspected of murdering several people by consuming them.
VRENI ISLAND - In a shocking turn of events it has been found out through sources on the Island itself that CorSec Commandant Vakira Crane has been seen aiding the Scourge now. Had they been with them all along or converted? Deeply troubling that one of the highest ranked officials in CorSec seems to be aiding this terrorist organization. Sources also inform us that Scourge Warlord Sk’ar has held off executions for now after a negotiation with Councilor Turq, still some deaths have been reported among those who tried to escape. We estimate 1300-1400 hostages remain on the Island after acts on the Island by the Councilor Zwee and off by Councilor Turq have reduced the number.
RHEN VAR - It has been said that the Jedi returned to Rhen Var to follow up some leads from a couple months back about the location of the troublesome Darth Rancorous, the apprentice of the infamous Darth Hex who died during the Phobis War. They were joined by some forces out of the Fel Empire including the Empress herself. Rancorous is said to have developed a powerful version of force stasis in which he was able to hold back most of the Jedi and Fel members. It is said that Rancorous greatly underestimated the Jedi and Fel forces and his tactical error lead to his defeat by Jedi Master Taaj, some force experts theorize the Darth exerted too much energy in keeping up the stasis to be able to dispatch the Jedi Master as he had hoped. Perhaps the strangest part of this story is that they are said to have found an Echani woman there who bears an uncanny resemblance to the former leader of the One Sith; Darth Vrana. It is unknown if this is of any significance as we were unable to get any official comments on this or who this Echani may be.
NAL HUTTA - It is said Gor’gon he HUTTler is on a business trip back to his Clan holdings on Nal Hutta. There is a lot of speculation about what Gor’gon may be up to.
((Having some PC issues, has not left! will hopefully be back soon))
PRAKITH - Rumor is that the One Sith have made this ancient world their primary outpost within the Core. With the proximity to Corellia as well as the Fel Empire, Byss, Republic, and even the Tetan Empire it does seem that the organization may be a looming threat. For now the Confederation does not seem inclined to further pursue them after what seemed to be their exit from Corellia.

To Jashin; was the primary builder on most of Prakith, has been very generous with his time and effort. Do consider supporting his work https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/63424 you’ll have a hard time finding a better cyberpunk/starwars city build kit then the one he made which we used for the Blue Sector.
