After clearing his school with middling grades in all but english[/SIZE][SIZE=11pt] Arthur joined an entrance program to the University of Coruscant and spent the next six years studying for a masters degree in common linguistics and literature. Whilst at the university Arthur had continued his passion for writing however with the increase in military activity and political radicalism his attention turned to that of common events and inter-faction relations.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Whilst at the University of Coruscant Arthur worked his way to become president of the university journalistic society and chief editor of the [/SIZE][SIZE=11pt]institutions newspaper. From this point the paper excelled with various articles even making their way to the eyes of the more desirable within political positions and across other Academic circles.

[SIZE=11pt]With the fall of democracy and rise of autocracy, Arthur’s ability to stick to morals of truth and honesty became impaired as his senior team [/SIZE][SIZE=11pt]were replaced or threatened into compliance with the autocratic government's official line. After his position of editor was threatened for writing a scathing article against the Sith military action against civilian[/SIZE][SIZE=11pt] population in place of law enforcement, Arthur quit with his dignity before fleeing to the up and coming space of the Galactic Alliance where he helped increase news flow in areas of propaganda and isolation.

After starting with a small team in a small office the team has now grown traction to be known as a neutral arbiter in the news world within republic space, however[/SIZE][SIZE=11pt] his sights have now turned to the wider galaxy.
