MOSHED-2023-1-2-22-14-8.gif


“Welcome back to IMPNET; the Empire’s most reliable source of unbiased news! We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to provide you with a breaking news update from the border between our illustrious Empire & our rivals to the south - the Galactic Alliance.”

The holofeed pans out to a wide-view shot of a field correspondent wearing body armor, and a microphone popping out of the side of his helmet. Loud blaster fire echoes in the distance, but seemingly not distant enough as the correspondent ducks instinctively from the sound. “Beros here, on location as the famed 908th Legion has been successfully deployed to oversee the annexation of the latest planet into the Imperial fold - Neshtab.”

Nearly one week ago, several leading representatives of the Neshtab Collectives unanimously signed the historic writ of annexation, which resulted in Imperial peacekeeping forces being deployed to defend those calling for Imperial protection amidst countless reports of aggression by a renegade faction of former Sith Imperial fugitives - known as the Pariah Legion.”


Another flurry of blaster bolts rang through the air, seemingly punctuating the procession of nearly two score prisoners being escorted by stormtroopers across the camera's field of view - seemingly in the direction of the blaster fire...

To the correspondent’s credit, he continued: “I reached out to the office of Grand Moff Ignacious Korvan, who together with Moff Adera Vellas were reportedly instrumental in brokering this monumental milestone in Imperial foreign policy. We received the following statement from his office-” The reporter looked down at his notes, and began his reiteration of the statement:

“This will be a day long remembered by the citizens of Neshtab, as well as by the citizens of the greater Empire at large. We shall always stand as the bulwark against corruption and the political aggrandizing that... certain Alliances within the greater galaxy have decided to involve themselves within. Radicalized members of these regions of space engaged our forces, and were given no quarter as we moved in to protect the interests of all native Neshtabines and liberate them from one of the last vestiges of Sith influence. On behalf of the Imperial Central Government, I put the galaxy on notice - The Empire stands resolute in its commitment to cleanse the galaxy from darkness. You either stand with us, or against us.”

The reporter stood in silence for a moment, gazing at his datapad until he looked upward and gave the holocam a faint smile. “This has been a breaking news report from IMPNET - stay safe everyone.”
