===BESPIN: Charity Scam===
Author: Divak Tan
Reports come from Cloud City that one Oldus Javar has come under scrutiny for holding a charity event under false pretenses. According to eyewitness accounts, the event, held at the Wayfarer's Guzzle, was interrupted by Gavon Hawk, a known criminal. While the details are fuzzy, it appears that Mr. Javar held a debt to Hawk of over 100,000 credits. Reportedly, the two men came to an agreement as to how the debt will be repaid.
Civilians attending the charity ball were refunded their money.

===Sho'lar Vreeth Is Alive!===
Author: Sho'lar
After disappearing nearly two months ago, Sho'lar Vreeth, former senator of Bothawui, chairman of the Bothan trading company, and esteemed Chancellor of the Republic, the world of Bothawui was thrown into upheaval. Recently, Mr. Vreeth has returned to Bothawui. The following is a press conference held by the Bothan in his Castle in Bothawui.
"Ladies and Gentlebeings of the galaxy, thank you for gathering so quickly on Bothawui to meet with me." Sho'lar says with a tired looking gaze, evident even through the thick black fur that encompasses his entire form. "Recently I was kidnapped from Coruscant by a group that claimed to be wanting the best for the Republic. By a group that hated aliens. After being tortured and beaten repeadedly by this group that wanted me to be out of the light, as it were, I managed to bargain for my return to Bothawui. It cost me what I had with me and a promise not to reveal who they were. I intend to keep that promise as I am a man of my word." Sho'lar flashes a bit of a smile, however it is guarded.
"Now that I have returned to Bothawui and found out that someone else has taken the liberty of challenging my position as chief executive officer of the Bothan trading company, and that I was removed as a Senator, I must admit that I am most pleased to see that things went on without me. However, now that I have returned I intend to retake my position as the chairman of the BTC and senator to the Republic Senator. I also wish to re-attain my position of Chancellor of the Republic." Sho'lar takes time to sip some fluid while flashes go off and hands go up.
"Until I meet with the current leader of Bothawui, I reserve comment on the future of the planet, it's leadership and it's solidarity. I do know that the Republic is in need of a solid leader now that it is apparant that Supreme Justice Palpatine is no longer in the position he was. I will speak again when Bothawui is returned to me and the current leader is reassigned to a new position within the top tiers of the government." 
Sho'lar stands, with the aid of a bodyguard, and proceeds to walk weakly out of the room and up to his private bedroom.

===Corellian Security===
Author: GNN
This just in:
CorSec, in Coronet, has evacuated Coronet's main banking complex. No reason has been given to the general public as of yet. They have also cleared the entire surrounding area and commercial district. Wait, this is just coming over the lines... It would appear that CorSec has announced there is...was...a bomb within the banking complex. There are reports that it has been successfully diffused, but I suspect a Corellian Official to make further announcements soon...
===BESPIN: Javar Comes Clean===
Author: Divak Tan
Sources report today that Oldus Javar had a press conference during which he came clean regarding the recent charges of embezzlement against him:
"I apologize for any hurt I may have caused. My problems with gambling are now in the public arena. I assure you, I have paid those debts now and no others, including my family, will be hurt. I also assure you that this has not affected my business sense, and my importing/exporting business has never been stronger. Thank you."
Sources report that Javar was able to pay off his gambling debts to one Gavon Hawk by assisting the man in an incredibly lucrative shipping contract.
OOC: Thanks to all who participated. A very fun RP that moved in a good pace and showed off how fun space can be (and how crafty pirates can be when they play with their heads and not with their guns!) Not a bad paycheck for a day's work...

===Engagement Confirmed===
Author: Aldog
GNN reports that the rumors circulating around Aldog's defection to the Republic involved several factors. One rumor was that his conscience finally got the better of him. Another rumor was that he was broke and needed steady income. 
These two rumors have not been confirmed and my be deemed unreliable until confirmation is obtained.
One rumor that has been proven true is that Alvin Dogma and Karin Morrow have confirmed their engagement to be wed. No date for the marriage ceremony has been set, but reports on the street report that the couple are madly in love with each other and are looking forward to tying the knot. 
Mr. Dogma, meanwhile is awaiting assignment from the Republic. This is, admittedly, an ambiguous statement, so speculation is rampant as to what exactly this means. 
Stay tuned to GNN for the latest breaking news regarding Mr. Dogma.

===ORD MANTELL: Independence===
Author: Ariennye Tei
The Lady Admiral released the following statement from orbit of Ord Mantell:
"If the Super Ingrate Vordo the Hutt continues his temper tantrum I will burn down his holdings with the fire of a thousand stars. If he makes any effort to touch my personal property, or the Fortress Zergata on that world I will remove him from power by force." 
"I follow this by declaring independence from Ord Mantell from the tyranny of the Great Hutt Nation and will begin measures to prepare the planet to stand alone until another power can prove their worthiness."
"I also urge the citizens of Tatooine to follow suit and pledge my entire Navy to defend them should they also wish to sever their ties to the neglect they have suffered under the Great Hutt Nation."
"Further -- I will make no effort to defend the Supreme Ingrate and any individual who wishes to invade the world will suffer no consequence from the Brood unless they touch my two personal properties there. Do so at your own peril."
