--------------------
[07:864 ABY] [GA] Fel for It
After being given KDY financial records by an anonymous source, Marshals grow suspicious of the shipyards on Xa Fel. Though disappearances aren’t uncommon on the planet due to poor working conditions and local crime, a rise in cases coupled with records that seem to be covering something set off alarms. The planet had recently agreed to merge into the Alliance, but all progress is halted until the case it dealt with. In the dead of night, the Marshals struck out, investigating the yards. The building had been quickly abandoned, and in the haste the criminals made, datapads were left behind. Recovered by the marshals, they had information linking back to a slaver’s ring on Zardross Strix, suggesting the crime is widespread and happening under the Alliance’s nose.
The senate met to discuss a bill to once again fund GADF, though this time, the bill suggests seeking contracts with businesses and governments that can assist in ship and hyperdrive manufacturing. Opposition was initially hesitant as the Defense Force was given an increase a short time ago to spend as they see fit, but ultimately, the bill passed unanimously as Senators recognized military expansion is warranted in time of strife.
[06:864ABY] [GA vs. TSE] Desecration of Jedha
Shortly after the Alliance’s strike against the Sith homeworld of Korriban, the Sith seek to retaliate. During the annual pilgrimage to the temple of Kyber, the New Jedi Order is ambushed by Sith forces, leading to a bloody battle between the dark and the light.
[05:864ABY] [GA&SJC] Stand With Me, Stand Against Me, or Stand Aside
The Jedi schism grows. Following the invasions of Dantooine, Korriban, and Byss, the New Jedi Order arrives on Commenor to speak before the Silver Jedi Council. NJO members seek answers as to why their fellows aligned with The Sith Empire, as well as justice for those who fell to the blades of Silvers at Dantooine. However, emotions ran high, and the meeting devolved into nothing more than an argument of who was right. Ultimately, Grandmaster Thurion Heavenshield and Sword of the Jedi Ryv Karis found common ground in their goals to unify the Jedi, but the two Orders have never seemed more divided.
[05:864ABY] [GA] Mind the Gap
Though expansion has slowed due to bureaucratic issues, Zardossa Strix becomes of utmost importance to the alliance following the Eternal Empire’s invasion of Byss, given it provides a strategic foothold to help ward off enemies in the west. In order to secure the desert moon, a small envoy meets with the port authority to discuss terms. Simultaneously, the New Jedi Order and GADF conduct evacuations on the planet surface- which leads some members to uncover a trafficking operation.
[04:864ABY] [EE&TSE vs. GA] Return the Favor
Seeking revenge for their Sith Empire allies, the Eternal empire launches an invasion against the Galactic Alliance, aiming to take Byss from our grip. However, rebels of the Eclipse Rebellion arrived early to inform us of the upcoming assault, giving our forces time to plan. Though we were ready when the Empire’s forces arrived, we simply did not have the manpower needed to hold off the charge, due to many of our own still deployed to Korriban and Felucia. The cavalry arrived soon, a team of a few mere Jedi. Some sought to help their brothers in the fight against the Sith; others headed for the nexus, intent on transforming it. The latter was successful. As the Sith and dark side users lost their concentrated power, their forces were forced to fall back, leaving the Alliance successful in holding the planet.
[04:864ABY] [GA] Of Mice and Men
Shortly after the authorization for the invasion of Korriban, the Senate is called into emergency session after receiving intel about an imminent invasion of the Eternal Empire. In response, the senate approved a bill outlining sanctions against EE.
[03:864ABY] [GA vs. TSE] Return of the Jedi
The Galactic Alliance seeks to strike out against the evil that festers in the shadows. The senate authorized GADF to liberate Felucia, while the New Jedi Order hit the Sith homeworld of Korriban.
Under command of Ryv and Auteme, the Jedi formed strike teams on Korriban to take the planet by storm. While Asmundr melded the group to protect them from the onslaught of darkness, each team headed to their objective, spread out across the world. Some took to the temple to battle the mightiest of dark lords, others to more strategic points to give the group an edge. On Felucia, Loske and Maynard led the wolf pack to take hold of the capital of the planet, whilst fighting off the savage wildlife that lurk in the vast jungles.
After a fierce battle, the Alliance was able to wrest control of the planets away from the Sith, leaving a tarnish upon their reputation as they were unable to defend the Sith homeworld.
[03:864ABY] [NIO&GA vs. TSE&CIS&SJC] No Quarter
The Galactic Alliance once again allied with the New Imperial Order to hit the The Sith Empire. Jedi under the command of NJO’s Ryv Karis partner with the Imperial Knights to reclaim a temple that was converted under the Sith. During the assault, our forces ran into many Silver Jedi who had aligned with TSE. While some Silvers saw reason offered by their New Jedi brethren, others were lost completely, striking our order members down in fierce attacks. Ultimately, the New Imperials and Alliance were forced to resign the battle and withdraw their forces, leaving Dantooine in the hands of The Sith Empire.
[02:864ABY] [GA&Jedi] Can't Say I Didn't Warn You, Huh?
Cotan Sandor, Jedi and Judge of the Outer Rim, invites NJO as well as other Jedi to his space station to brief on recent tensions. The Silver Jedi Concord had recently entered a mutual defense pact with The Sith Empire and Confederacy of Independent System known as the Elder Compact. Ryv, Sword of the Jedi, stood alongside the exiled grandmaster Coren Starchaser to discuss the matter. Tensions ran high as the Jedi or various Orders stated their thoughts on the morality of the situation. Ultimately, the NJO was left with more questions than answers. A schism was surely on the horizon.
[01:864ABY] [GA vs. NIO] In The Flesh
The Alliance continues to provide security support to the Yinchoor Council of Elders, and have established a garrison in the city of Tol Kachorn. Their traditional enemies of the warrior caste launch a major offensive of the planet, with their backers revealing themselves as the New Imperial Order - the Alliance’s former allies in the war against the Sith Empire. The two great militaries clash in the streets of Tol Kachorn, on the plains surrounding the city, and in orbit overhead. A fateful meeting of the two leaders in the skies over the planet brings about the ceasefire, and starts the two great nations on a path to reconciliation.
[10:863ABY] [GA] The Knife's Edge
Following the battle of Yinchorr, various sects of GA convene to decide how to go forward.Accounts have come to light claiming the otherwise unaffiliated base was actually that of our allies, the New Imperial Order. While members of the Senate and GADF with top-secret security clearance come together to discuss the matter or accountability, those who were combatants question everything after the horrors they experienced. Politicians were initially divided on how to proceed. While some wanted to pull troops out of every base with NIO forces, even those in Sith territory, others saw the opportunity to use the presence to investigate and gain more information on the New Imperial’s agenda. It was ultimately decided to pull Troops out of NIO territory only, under the guise of deployment to “high-priority missions”.
[09:863ABY] [GA vs
Tensions rise within the Galaxy. Imperialism encroaches on the Mid Rim from the galactic north and Yinchorr is caught in its path! A distressing communiqué from the Yinchorri leadership forces the Alliance to act as reports of foreign meddling in their politics are levelled against a local extremist group. To their horror, the Alliance finds evidence of foreign meddling and dispatches an investigation team to an unmarked compound suspected to be staffed by incognito New Imperial Black Ops in the process of training the warrior people of Yinchorr for a violent coup. The Alliance is successful in eliminating the outpost, but the true effect on the wyrming corruption of imperialist propaganda remains unknown. Nonetheless, the Alliance leaves behind a small force to oversee the peace on Yinchorr.
[07:863ABY] [GA&DW] Honor Among Thieves
With the mission to make the core whole again almost complete, the Chancellor and fellow politicians meet with the corrupted corporate authorities who rule over the world of Frego. Though the Alliance chose the diplomatic route, the consequences are clear in the case of a refusal. The treaty was signed- Frego was handed over to the GA, the Corporate Authorities gained free use of the Hydrian way and Corellian Trade Spine, and both factions would benefit from various trade deals. In the end, both Darkwire and the Alliance were left stronger than before the parties entered the room.
[05:863ABY] [GA&CIS] Haru No Yakusoku
Holding true to the promise to reunite the core, Chancellor Chandra and other diplomats meet with those from the Confederacy of Independent Systems upon Atrisia, bargaining for the system. Those visiting while the treaty is ratified struggle with locals, realizing the proud commonwealth is not as eager to join the Alliance as they thought. At the end of the day, they were still brought into the fold, and the Galactic Alliance entered a defensive pact with their Confederacy counterparts.
[02:863ABY] [GA] Embraced by Darkness
After nearly eight-hundred years of relative peace, the Yevethan people once again began to build a great fleet to expand their influence among the stars. Their neighbours were quick to recognize the threat and came to the Alliance for help, which dispatched a sizable fleet to bring construction of the Yevethan’s new Black Fleet to a halt. Simultaneously, Alliance ships at Thrantin also experienced a horrific intrusion by creatures from beyond the Stars. A desperate struggle for survival ensued as Starweirds appeared on ships without warning.
[09:862ABY] [GA] A New Dawn
Chancellor Emmen Tagge stepped down from official duties, and quickly a political battle ensued as to who would lead the alliance next. Defeating Gat Tambor by a landslide, Adhira Chandra was elected Chancellor, marking the beginnings of a new era. While most take the celebration as a chance to rest and recoup, others saw it as an opportunity to gain political foothold.
[07:862ABY] [GA] Justice Prevails
Plexis was overtaken by gang wars and police brutality. The criminals escalated, their government followed suit, and the planet was seized by violence and chaos. Crime families took control, but not before the marshals were able to send a message to the Alliance pleading for help. In response, GA sent members of the defense force on a peacekeeping mission to restore rightful governance and add another planet to the fold of the Galactic Alliance. While the problem is dealt with on the core planet, the senate sees a necessary question to ask in response: How do we stop this from happening again? The answer came in legislation allowing bounty hunters to act as third party enforcers with legal authority in Alliance space- with proper certification, of course.
[06:862ABY] [NIO&GA vs. TSE] Darkness Falls
The New Imperial Order sought to strike the heart of Darkness once more, and the Galactic Alliance stood beside them. The mission was risky, but it had ultimate gains: taking the Sith capital planet of Bastion. Members of the New Jedi Order and GADF alike joined the Imperials in a three point attack on the planet, giving way to a scene of total war between the galactic giants. However, mid battle, things took a turn no one could have seen. Jedi became confused as stormtroopers turned on their sith comrades and open fired- the execution of operation Kyber Dark. Some joined the purge, seeing the Sith for what they were. Others took objection, seeing these individuals as redeemable as they too had broken off and taken up arms against the Empire. Unbeknownst to those on the ground, GADF high command had knowledge of the orders before they were carried out. A dangerous precedent was set that day. Many were left wondering how long until the New Imperials turned on us, their other allies, for our differences in ideology.
[04:862ABY] [GA] Some by Virtue Fall
Tragedy befalls the senate! Not only is the senator of Duro found dead, assassinated by extra-judicial thugs with connections to the Antarian Rangers, in the process horrific details of his corruption are revealed, dealing a great blow to the integrity of the Alliance Senate. An emergency session is called to discuss the stance the Alliance is to take on the issue of what some call a Silver Jedi plot against the Senate! Quickly, the less noble political elements seize the opportunity to advocate for heightened security measures, going so far as to suggest the involvement of villainous Bounty Hunters in matters of Alliance Justice!
[02:862ABY] [NIO&GA vs. TSE] In the Undertow
Seeking to officially ally with the New Imperial Order against The Sith Empire, Galactic Alliances forces are dispatched to Dubrillion to help wrest the world from Sith control. While our fleet helped seize the Space above the planet, members of the New Jedi Order aided the Imperial Knights in taking an island that offered strategic value to the New Imperials.
[09:861ABY] [GA] The Velusian Solution
On a routine mission, the G.S.S. Ananke is violently pulled out of hyperspace above an ocean world and nearly destroyed by unidentified stealth fighters. Through the skill of her crew, the Ananke survives the crash landing and, to their surprise, find themselves contacted by the locals for their help in a corporate dispute which threatens the Velusian peoples’ very existence! Jedi and special investigation teams are dispatched by the Alliance to investigate the Velusian Queen’s claims of nefarious acts committed by the seafood group Oceanus Inc., as well as to find a way to lift the communications jam that affects the entire planet, while hired hands help the crew of the Ananke out of the shipwreck. At the same time, representatives of the Alliance who were aboard the Ananke met with the highest level executives of Oceanus Inc. to find out the truth about their legitimacy.
[07:861ABY] [GA] A Grave Mistake
A member of the New Jedi Order is believed to have made an attempt on Senator Kaito Kiyoshi’s life. Though unsuccessful, the senator calls out for justice, demanding the Jedi be held accountable. Though the senate is unable to reach a conclusion on how to proceed, the seeds of distrust have been sowed. Though accusations are being thrown at them, the New Jedi Order travels to Ragoon VI to hold a funeral for the renowned knight and their friend, Lanik Dawnstar.
[04:861ABY] [GA] Dream Sweet in Sea Major
During its expansion into the Galactic Southwest, the Alliance finds its hyperlanes threatened by supposed pirates operating out of the Doornik-628 system. The expeditionary fleet which arrives at the obscure fifth planet of the system, J’t’p’tan, finds very little trace of any outlaws, and instead discovers ancient ruins surrounded by mysterious force phenomena. Two away teams are sent to the surface to investigate, but they soon find themselves in the jaws of a trap set by the Bounty Hunter’s Guild!
On Eufornis a planet-wide celebration of their entry in the Galactic Alliance is in the works. The highest echelons of the Alliance are invited for a private pre-Celebration gathering with the queen herself, while elsewhere Alliance personnel race to stop the expansion of an insidious criminal spice cartel into this region of space.
[02:861ABY] [GA] Grass and Glass
Though Chandrila was once a beacon of democracy, it had fallen to an imperial warlord who ruled with an iron first. The people rose up, demanding better- the Galactic Alliance gave them a chance to establish a government where the people once again had a voice. Upon dismantlement of current leadership, a holotrain was dispatched with an escort to deliver much needed supplies for the agricultural center. The harvest festival took place shortly after, where Alliance members were welcomed to celebrate with the locals.
[10:860ABY] [GA] The Root of the Problem
Though expansion is becoming harder due to the funding that has been poured into Metellos and the New Jedi Order, Foerost becomes a priority due to the large shipyard. Corporate authorities are dispatched to secure the yard and make sure it is up to requirements, while other forces are sent to infiltrate a downed destroyer on the planet surface, where a Sith Holocron is recovered. The senate moves forward with further development of the GADF.
[07:860ABY] [GA] Guv’nor
The Alliance uncovered a lost hyperlane to the world of Liliac, ruled by imperial remnants. The planet was poverty stricken, only a single rundown settlement with a major population. The Galactic Alliance launched a relief mission on the surface to help the citizens who desperately needed it. Meanwhile, the senate convened to discuss the morality of cloning.
[06:860ABY] [GA] Family Feud
The planet of Thanicor had reached out to the Alliance for help after their leader fell mysteriously ill. The one who had stepped up to fill her place ruined all prospects of treaties, and the Alliance was able to uncover a plot to encourage a genocidal war by a cult of witches. While the Jedi and the military work together to bring down the conspirators, an envoy confronts the planet leaders. Ultimately, they are able to restore the rightful leadership and bring Thracior into the Alliance.
[06:860ABY] [GA] ILUM - I Love U Metellos
In a meeting of minds, the former chancellor and Jedi representatives discussed the importance of gaining foothold on Metellos. Though it serves but little strategic purpose, the straight jump to the sacred world of Ilum makes it a matter of utmost importance to the New Jedi Order. The senate was locked in stalemate for weeks, unable to come to an agreement regarding the financial aid needed for such a mission. With the help of a representative of the Order speaking before the senate, those in support of the measure are able to get it passed. On Metellos itself, the New Jedi Order was able to establish a safehouse and plot necessary courses needed to reach Ilum.
[06:860ABY] [GA] Bearing Down on Botor
The Galactic Alliance continues their work to reunite the core. For too long, minor leagues had desiccated Botor, pirates and raiders terrorizing the citizens. The Alliance organized a strategic three part assault: Destroy the enemy space station that was hidden away in a nearby nebula, investigate the whispers of sinister forces, and launch a full scale battle on the ground after all other options had been exhausted. In the end, the Alliance was able to wrest control from the scoundrels, another core planet brought into our fold.
[05:860ABY] [GA&NIO] Schism's Dawn
Shortly after their split from The Sith Empire, the New Imperial Order sought to strike against their previous overlords, launching attacks against Mygeeto and Muunilest. The Galactic Alliance took the chance to ally with the imperials, realizing that they needed to take the offensive against Sith tyranny. Seeking to free the ravaged planets from their evil rulers, Alliances forces stood beside NIO on Muunilest, eventually helping the imperials take the territory.
[05:860ABY] [GA] Mistwalker [CHAOS RISING Pt. 2]
Following the news of a sudden Netherworld Rift opening on Caamas, the Galactic Alliance and New Jedi Order learn that the plane it connects to -- the Field of Blades -- may be the current resting place of a fragment from the Dagger of Mortis. Determined to recover the relic to use against the rallying forces of Chaos, a task force is dispatched to cross over into the Mist-Beyond and recover it.

A new era of democracy begins under a star-spangled starbird banner.
[03:860ABY] [CA&TR] Valor on Vulpter
While the Core Alliance and Republic ramp up their cooperative effort to stabilize the Core Worlds, an old threat reemerges on Vulpter. During a meeting in Hpaq, High Admiral Cassius Callaesar and Corellian Senator Kaito Kiyoshi are taken captive by the resurgent Nationalist Vulptereen Front. A joint task force is dispatched to Viper Tower to rescue them and eliminate the terrorist threat before they can regain a footing on their homeworld.

[02:860ABY] [GI] Abaddon’s Gate [CHAOS RISING Pt 1]
A massive dimensional rift opens at the heart of the Brentaal system, revealing the source of the strange happenings on Brentaal IV; corruption from the depths of Chaos, a wretched realm of the Mist-Beyond. Horrors from beyond invade from the vortex, engaging the meager forces present on the planet. Desperate, the Alliance held off the emergence of a massive Leviathan and delayed the ground invasion at Vuultin City long enough to evacuation a large portion of the population.
[02:860ABY] [GI] Overture
Following the navlogs recovered from the Kantius, the Imperium’s team arrives at Brentaal IV to find it in a state of peril. Swarmed by hordes of the dead and stricken by a spatial anomaly restricting communications, the planet struggles to survive as the population succumbs to the unknown affliction.

With the situation over Kuat devolving, a terrorist organization calling themselves the Agents of Chaos reveal themselves on Alderaan, throwing the capital city into a frenzy. Despite their best efforts to maintain peace, both nations are forced to withdraw from the sector - establishing what would become unofficially known as the Neutral Zone.
[09:859ABY] [GI] The Shadow Over Kuat
The Lord-Imperator and other members of the Imperium’s aristocracy meet with Lady Elane Kuat, the Kuat of Kuat, to discuss the possibility of her allegiance.

The nobles and officials desperately flee from the violence and bloodshed as the Lord-Imperator and other Jedi Masters engage the Titan in combat.
