"Good morning viewers, I'm Mira Dross and this is OmniMedia. At midnight, Senator Cutler Oji and the administrative system board sent an all hands on deck to both the planetary defensive force as well as all chapters of the fleet. We have a recording of a short address made by Senator Oji and the military commanders.\*

-The scene cuts to Oji standing at a podium, flanked on each side by troops and generals. The various media outlets are snapping pictures of the lightsaber clearly visible on his hip.-

"Good morning, everyone. I just came from a Senate hearing discussing the possibility of war with the New Empire. As everyone is aware by now, we lost many of our own troops when Imperial remnants took over Joondah. We fought side by side with Corellian forces to bring the leaders to justice. It was one in a long list of recent activity by the Empire in their desire to bring the galaxy back under their thumb. Whether the vote succeeds or not, I refuse to stand by any longer and allow the New Empire to carry on with no consequences to their actions. Effective immediately, All military assets will be activated and we will be pushing all efforts into production and logistics. I ask that all citizens do their part to ensure the swift victory that is needed and to remember the words that have been echoed for generations; 'This galaxy is vast. If we don't stand together, we will never earn our place amongst the stars.'. It is not the strength of the Republic or any other body that will save us; only WE can save ourselves."

-The scene cuts back to Dross at her desk-

"Oji and the commanders declined questions and swiftly exited the stage. Many outlets, including ourselves at OmniMedia have attempted to contact the Senator in regards to the recent revelation of his Force abilities revealed during the battle of Joondah, yet neither he or the board of Oji Corp have given any comment. We will update you as soon as we can. In the meantime, please stay safe and keep an eye for alerts."
