It is with sad news that I, Ellias Aubec, the current Grand Seneschal of The Krath Dynasty come before you. Around a day ago, the Krath were heinously betrayed by one of our own. Varro Belle, who has worked within the Krath for many years, decided to throw that all away for the chance at notoriety and possibly a quick payday. Through the actions of several Tresario Star Kingdom officers who snuck into our system under a blackout imposed by Varro several thousand fighters were stolen from their docks and shipped on board one of TSK's ships. Vehicles, droids and items were also taken and sequestered.

Of most concern to us however was the capture of several Krath, including high ranking Lazarus Kell who was awaiting Varro in order to test him to se if he was able to use the Force. This cowardly strike shows how low TSK and their sympathisers will go in order to strike at anyone that shakes their worldview. Our thoughts go out to these lost few and we wish them the best should their captors be cruel and unmerciful and execute them with no negotiation for their release. Although with rumors that they are already on their way to being shipped to the Galactic Empire, these hopes may be without substance.

It goes to show that in this galaxy it seems you cannot trust many people. At least we can console ourselves that the ships and vehicles and droids these criminals did manage to steal had their security codes wiped and they will be inaccessible to the thieves as it will take years if not longer to break through and gain access to the on board computers and put them to use. However, we continue and strive ever forwards. Our allies have already sent their well wishes and offers of aid. Those who consider The Krath Dynasty and the Galactic Alliance we are a member of as evil, take note - our enemies are captured in battle, not through backstabbing and kidnappings in the dark. If you cannot operate in the light, should you operate at all?
