Welcome to TriNebulon News Presents: The Weekly Happenstance Episode 3. I'm Chester Mansled with the happenings of yesterday, for the people of today!

KRATH EMPIRE'S VALIDITY CALLED INTO QUESTION AS ALLIES CONDEMN MURDERS! Early day 75 of year 18, The Krath Empire, formerly known as The Krath Dynasty, announced their transition from Dynasty to Empire alongside the anointment of Emperor Lazuras Kell. The ceremony quickly took a dark turn, however, shaking the Galactic Alliance's trust in the newly formed Krath Empire and leading many to question the sanity of its newly anointed Emperor.

The event began much like any other religious ceremony and imperial coronation, but took a dark turn even for Dark siders like the Krath within minutes of Emperor Kell's appearance. Shortly after Emperor Kell stepped off of his ATR-6 Attack Shuttle, a man bound and gagged was dragged from the vessel by one Lord Imperator - which I must say is the most awesome of titles - Talak Kasra and one mister Tobias Frost of Nightcloud lineage. The prisoner in question was none other than Belle Varro, a disgraced former member of the Krath and an individual who lead to the murder of multiple Krathian warriors and leaders, including Tobias Frost's own grandfather.

While we at first assumed that this was to show that they captured the perpetrator and were preparing to take him through a proper trial, it quickly became apparent that no such plans were formulated. Instead, Emperor Kell murdered the man in cold blood in front of millions of horrified and screaming citizens of the Krath Empire. Although the Krath attempted to play this screaming and horror off as the citizens shaming and slurring the deceased Varro, it's clear that this was a reaction of fear toward the newly formed Empire's Emperor. What sort of citizens would condone the murder of a captive individual? None but the most fascistic and nationalistic - a description that does not encompass the entirety of Krath's populace - That's who.

We managed to reach multiple sapient individuals within the upper echelon of the Galactic Alliance shortly after the event. It seems that the Krath attempted to hide this broadcast from their fellow allies. Many of these allies weren't aware that the broadcast was ever made! HOWEVER, we learned that the Jedi Order, feeling the loss of life and the fear the murder caused for the millions of Krath citizens in attendance at the event, had taken notice. Consul Jon Darkstorm of the Jedi Order, upon contact, had this to say about the broadcast: "In light of the recent Krath Empire broadcast, we, the Jedi Order, extend our deepest empathy for the losses [of life and property] of our fellow Alliance member-state; however, we cannot condone the murder of defenseless prisoners. The Jedi Order has always stood for the preserving of life when at all possible. We wish peace for the Galaxy at large and for this senseless violence to stop. By behaving in this way, [Krath has made themselves] no better than the Galactic Empire nor its Sith Order. Please reflect upon this, Emperor Kell. Do not allow the Dark side to take your sanity and your humanity."

We attempted to contact Jedi Master Hal Grevant to confirm what Consul Darkstorm had said was the opinion of the entire Order, HOWEVER, these attempts were futile but a low-level member of the order stated that they overheard him saying "Right now I'm mostly in revulsion at Krath's broadcast. These [are] troubling times." Troubling times indeed, Hal Grevant, troubling times indeed.

It appears these Dark side actions of Krath Dynasty have shaken the Galactic Alliance's trust in the Krath Empire. In addition, these actions call into question Emperor Kell's stability and sanity. While we wish the newly formed Empire well and glory in their future conquests, we do also ask that they perhaps take a more subtle approach to their evilness, lest they are left behind by their only allies.

TRADEGY STRIKES TRINEBULON NEWS! It is with a heavy heart that I, Chester Manfellow, need to announce the passing of Kate Franksword. She was murdered today just outside of our coporate headquarters by none other than our "sick" work-skipping former investigator. The man is currently being hunted by law enforcement, but alas we fear that he may not be caught. Also, I promise that I didn't do it. I swear. I saw it happen, though. I was the only person that saw it happen. Anyway, we're hoping to introduce a new anchor next week! If you feel like you have what it takes to be an anchor of the Weekly Happenstance, please send your holonet applications over to our holomail box at TriNebulonNews dot holo! We'll announce the winner on next week's episode of... THE WEEKLY HAPPENSTANCE!

That's all for tonight's broadcast of TriNebulon News Presents: The Weekly Happenstance. We thank you for tuning in and we wish you all a happy week!
