BREAKING NEWS - Galactic News Service, Adbatar: The following Release has been received from the Alliance High Command, and Supreme Commander Avatar Voidrunner:

"A short while ago, the Alliance learned about Imperial incursions into the Thrax sector, and more specifically, into the area near the Gand system, Avatar's home. As a member of the Alliance, Avatar is dedicated to fighting the oppression of the Empire, and to protect the innocent citizens of the Galaxy from it's predations. In addition to this, as a Jedi, Avatar is sworn to aid those who cannot protect themselves from the predations of the Sith, the Empire, and any others who would become tyrannical dictators. A few months ago Avatar was named as a Janwuine by Hal Breden, the Kaalif'taa of Ara, a position all Gand strive for, but few attain. This action helped to reinforce Avatar's sense of duty towards his people. And when it was discovered that Imperial Grand Moff Kirov Quel-Droma was moving about the Thrax sector and near the Gand system investigating areas of possible colonization, and establishing Stormtrooper garrisons, the Alliance had to act to prevent another sector from falling under the Imperial jackboot.

However, Alissma is a neutral religious group in the galactic struggle, and this presented a moral dilemma, as they would not agree to an Operation near their space in the Gand system, even if it was aimed to protect them and their neutrality. So Alliance agents contacted another, middle level member of Allissma, and arranged to purchase several Alissma facilities directly from them. Avatar personally apologizes to Hal at this time for acting without his permission, and the Alliance has already returned all facilities.

Earlier today, CRI Agents then located, cornered, and captured Moff Kirov Quel-Droma. A High Command Tribunal was established, and Kirov's case was heard. Kirov Quel-Droma, long time Imperial Moff, member of Imperial High Command, a man who has for years willingly served the evil of the Empire and the Sith, and perpetrated many crimes against sentience, was sentenced to execution by Alliance High Command. The sentence was carried out by the CRI Agents."
