Officials from within the Resistance confirm the legitimacy of recent leaks from Mayor Chompins McLoggers’ office shed new light on the Tynna Unknown Signals incident.
Three private documents recently leaked to multiple galactic news agencies by an official inside the mayor’s office confirmed that King Jude Vatz of the Tresario Star Kingdom was physically present when the Invid Order, New Republic, and Resistance task force recovered the first Meridian frigate. Early into the rescue operation, allied pilots reported the presence of a lone A-wing interceptor registered to King Vatz, who ignored all hail and focus scans performed.
Records later recovered from the Meridian showed that King Vatz arrived two days before the Invid Order scouts, yet had offered no assistance to the distressed frigate and had even ignored the Tynnan's call for help sent directly to his ship. New Republic military analysts have suggested that Tresario's allegedly poor record of starship maintenance may have hindered some of the interceptor's systems, forcing the Tresarian King to remain hidden in the frigate's shadow for several days, desperate to remain undetected and avoid being taken prisoner by the bandits. While the task force's pilots were engaging the hostile starfighters and assisting the stranded Tynnan starship, King Vatz's A-wing parted from the frigate's position and fled the system.
An image recorded by the Tynnan frigate has also been verified, clearly showing King Vatz piloting the reported A-wing interceptor.
An after-action report, drafted by taskforce commander Gothar Elensar and presented to Mayor McLoggers upon the operation's conclusion, was also leaked to the press.
"When Invid Order scouts discovered the first stranded Meridian-class frigate in an asteroid field, a call for assistance was immediately dispatched through the joint task force at approximately 0950 on 18.149. A stream of allied starfighter squadrons continuously arrived throughout the next several hours, engaging the growing force of hostile gunboats and starfighters in an attempt to rescue the distressed frigate and its stranded survivors. At approximately 1330 of the same day, the hostile forces had been subdued and the Meridian frigate secured and provided with an escort back to the Tynnani system. This scenario played out two more times for the safe recovery of three frigates at the hands of the New Republic's joint task force, though the fourth Meridian was boarded and captured by the Exchange while the allied task force was occupied with rescuing the third."
The third document indicates the last known locations and owners of the Meridian-class frigates. As indicated in his galactic broadcast three months ago, Mayor Chompins McLoggers expressed the gratitude of all Tynnans by awarding four Meridian frigates to those who came to their assistance. The first and second Meridians were gifted to New Republic officers Vonar Passik and Arco Serle, who donated them to the Invid Order and New Republic, respectively, as a result of the joint task force's success. The third was awarded to Lahasa Fry, who uniquely opted to retain possession of the vessel and add it to his personal collection. Reportedly, he also left his position in the New Republic sometime after, though it is unknown whether this was due to the political pressure faced by his decision to keep the frigate. The fourth frigate, which was stationed at Tynna, was granted to Matt Solomon for discovering and revealing the Tynnani system to the galaxy. Reports of a fifth frigate taken by the Exchange were also considered true by all information agencies.
