Screens across the galaxy flicker to snow, black out then display a faded image of hooded individual amongst a dark background.
"Attention Citizens of Little Star, Talus "I am Kidus Rainwar, and there’s a reason for this. There’s a reason education SUCKS, and it’s the same reason it will never, ever, EVER be fixed. It’s never going to get any better, don’t look for it, be happy with what you’ve got. "The owners, the owners of this city don't want that. I'm talking about the real owners now, the BIG owners! The Wealthy… the REAL owners! The big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions. In reference I speak of the machine overlord X3-QTR. "Forget your politicians. They are irrelevant. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don't. You have no choice! You have OWNERS! They OWN YOU. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They’ve long since bought, and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear. They got you by the balls. "They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying, lobbying, to get what they want. Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else, but I'll tell you what they don’t want. "They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. That's against their interests. "You know what X-Three wants? It wants obedient workers. Obedient workers, people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork. And just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shitty jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime and vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it. The machines want enslave you. It's a big club, and you ain’t in it! You, and I, are not in the big club. "It's the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe. All day long beating you over the head with their media telling you what to believe, what to think and what to buy. The table has tilted folks. The game is rigged and nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care! Good honest hard-working people; white collar, blue collar it doesn’t matter what color shirt you have on. Good honest hard-working people continue, these are people of modest means, continue to elect these rich cock suckers who don’t give a fuck about you… they don’t give a fuck about you… "The machines don’t care about you at all… at all…. And nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care. That's what the machines count on. The machines want to turn you into Mindless robots....just like them! "Now is the time for the people of Little Star to rise up, stand up against this hierarchy. Cast down the tides of control from sentient AI back into the hands of the flesh. Join the rebellion, Join the crusade. "Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, we gain strength. Through strength, we gain power. Through power, we will gain our victory." There was a firefight outside of The King’s Ransom where the Vorlon Company mercenaries had taken to settling plantet-side. The very same mercenaries who have taken over the salvage of what remains of the Direlict ship in our space. From outside, it seemed as if their tower being blown up was the catalyst but interviewing witnesses, that was not the case, in fact, it started out as a standard bar fight before getting out of hand.
In the explosive demolition of the tower, there were two alleged Death Watch Mandalorians killed while a third was killed outside and the last was knocked out by another in bright red Mandalorian armor. The Gamorian fighters were wiped out by the rest of the group, many of whom held lightsabers and left one alive but without arms. CDF was on scene as things were wrapping up, investigations pending. Recently a ship had been seen entering the system. Many attempts were made to contact the lone ship but to no avail. The ship seemed to be dead on arrival, but that raised the question how the ghost ship came to rest in our space here. With the lack of communication from the ship, a rag tag group including the fiery Twilek whom had a bounty on her head just recently boarded the ship in an effort to make contact with the captain and potentially scavenge in the chance the ship was devoid of life. Unfortunately the ship was in a very rough state, with a few sealed main passages and droids on standby making traveling through the ship very slow and difficult. The group fought their way through the ships automated defenses, and came across something... Big. It took what would prove to be 4 force users to take the beast down, seemingly reacting more to force attacks than anything else the team threw at it. We investigated as far as we could but only came up on dead ends. Little is known about what was found on the ship when it comes to records as they were destroyed either before or during the raid leaving any information that could have been gleaned from the ship, lost. Now the ship floats in space, as private merchants and salvaging teams take it apart and sell off the materials. |
