Welcome to the Galactic News Service
...intercepted fragment of a transmission from Serocco to the Czerka Corporation Media Center on Abraxas...
A burst of static, flickering light, and a deep voice breaks through: “Is the connection stable, Vai?”
A holoscreen flickers to life, but only a still image appears — the signal seems disrupted
"This is Ling Reen speaking. I'm sending this message in case the Rogue Frequency we've intercepted has managed to reach Abraxas. What you may have heard... it's true. All of it. But those pirates like to keep some information hidden"
"I'm currently in the Serocco system, having tracked a bounty target here. Elements of the Czerka Security Guard are accompanying me as escort. While conducting a routine system safety check, we engaged in a firefight with a fleet belonging to the Son-Tuul. We did, in fact, lose a few escort bombers. But Czerka's factories can replace those by breakfast. Thankfully, thanks to our brilliant scientists — many of whom previously worked with Golan Technologies — the ships were equipped with prototype autopilot software. No Czerkan lives were lost."
"I take full responsibility for this manageable loss. This is a private mission — no war fleet, no orders from the Endor Pact or the Czerka Executive Board. I underestimated the number of pirates in the region, and I must admit — somewhat surprisingly — that a few of these criminals brought some genuinely noteworthy combat skills to the table."
...a short moment of silence...
"It didn't help that Serah Hawk was, once again, flying under the influence of Vigihan Ale — but that’s a story for another time."
"Dear Czerkans, don’t believe too much of the propaganda out there. They conveniently omit their own aggressive intentions, their own losses, and the damage we inflicted on several of their corvettes. Summary: Everything’s fine. Ships can be rebuilt. No one really cares about tallying enemy losses... it’s just Meleenium."
...the transmission turns into a black screen and ends...
