• [SIZE=11pt]One article per writer = one invitation (transferable)[/SIZE]
• [SIZE=11pt]Two articles or more per writer = one invitation (transferable), plus one guest invitation[/SIZE]
• [SIZE=11pt]Between 1/1 and 1/15, Watto and Sebulba each wrote for The Inquest. Watto wrote a single article, and received an invitation to the upcoming Opportunity. He gave it to his friend Boba, who then participated in the Opportunity on his behalf. Sebulba wrote five articles; he attended the Opportunity with his lovely guest, Leia. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]Write each news story (250-400 words) from an IC perspective. The story should focus on things that actually took place IC on Chaos. Explain context, use lots of hyperlinks, don’t be afraid to delve into infotainment, and try to remain at least modestly impartial. Most importantly, stick to material that could plausibly be known by your character or a random source. Nobody wants to read a story about Ra Vizsla’s pillow talk preferences.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]An exclusive Opportunity can wind up being anything - a treasure hunt, a heist, a covert operation, an elite social function concealing secrets. Consider this a continuation of almost thirty Weekend Treasure Hunt threads.[/SIZE]

Falleen Throne, Falleen.

Glamour and entertainment sweep Falleen Throne at the Starlight Festival!
(Er'in Tenel, CIS)

Efforts on the part of the Confederacy of Independent Systems bought the best and brighest from across the Rim to the city of Falleen Throne, where numerous individuals made a memorable impression on the annals of galactic fashion. While complete reports are still coming in, we would like to bring you some of the hottest couture to grace the sector.

A pleasant impression indeed was made by a gentleman who graced the affair in local fashion but who was also seen to arriving bearing a most splenid array of off-world flora. While points for declaritive style were given to Captain Quinn of the Areta who came well attired but was noted have gone shoeless minutes into the party. But you know what they say about heels on grass! Charming summer numbers were displayed both by guests who chose to sing and were also in evidence gracing no less than the companion of the handsomely dressed Viceroy himself, who was seen wearing a sharp but casual black and silver affair. The informal but stylish look continued to be carried off by another attendee who was noticable for their grace and their fascinating eyes. But ladies, he does appear to be taken! Formality was also in fashion, with one visitor from offworld displaying a casual formality that stood out well with the night time lighting.

With reports (and hololiths) coming in rapidly, we feel confident that the Confederacy of Independent Systems will be able to call the Starlight Festival a success!

(OOC: Fashion reporting is hard to do well, but talking up the effort people put in is good. I've tried hard not to talk anyone down ICly or OCly as that's uncool as well as not to miss anyone who described themselves as standing out. If you feel I've OOCly missed you off or offended, please don't hestitate to PM for corrections. IC omissions are IC omissions as are mistakes.)
