## Story

### POLITICS/GOVERNMENT

**4.5.29 "Ambassador Ulmner Murdered"**

IBC Skyhook-9, MUUNILINST

The Muunilinst-hosted Intergalactic Business Summit came to a violent end yesterday afternoon. The summit members had just adjourned for lunch, when a yet unidentified assailant shot Republic Ambassador Yungo Ulmner in the head. Local security rushed to the scene, only to find the assassin had already fled the scene.

The other summit leaders were immediately flown out, as security searched the Skyhook for the assassin. So far the assassin remains at large.

"This terrible act demands an immediate and high priority investigation." announced Muun Security Force Captain, Warad Teb, during the news conference earlier. "The Jedi Council has already sanctioned a Jedi investigation into the case and so we believe this criminal will be quickly brought to justice."

**4.5.12 "Senator Devbog of Kaseja Resigns"**

Government District, CORUSCANT

Yesterday Senator Devbog of Kaseja made his resignation speech outside the Courthouse. The senator was found guilty of accepting several large bribes from an illegal organization throughout his term; a sum total of nearly 500,000 credits.

The matter was brought to the public eye seven months ago, when the senator's former secretary released bank transactions showing the payments. An investigation was then launched and it wasn't long before the truth came out.

The trial, headed by Judge Laaskes, was short. The evidence against Senator Devbog was extensive and he pleaded guilty to the charges. His full punishment has yet to be decided, although the Prosecutor in the case, Abond Iklaz, was announced that it will involve jail time.

### SPORTS

**4.4.9 "Zone Ball Player Suspended for Possession"**

Verad'harr Sports Arena, KINTAN

Kadas'sa'Nikto Zone Ball player of the Werraki Team, Aserr Nui, was discovered to be in the possession of illicit substances yesterday following their win during the big game against the Sluur Heralds (Final Score 23-9).

Neither Nui, nor the Werraki Team's head coach Akh-Ode, have yet to say anything in relation. Although as little surprise to fans, since Akh-Ode has a history of illegal measures and business deals throughout his coaching career.

### JEDI NEWS

**4.6.28 "Alleged Conspirator in the Ulmner Murder Arrested"**

Mariunhus, MUUNILINST

Out of Muunilinst comes a new lead in the investigation of Ambassador Yungo Ulmner's assassination nearly three weeks ago. Jedi Master Gabrian Damodred, who is heading the investigation, apprehended a yet unnamed Muun in the city of Mariunhus, who is thought to have conspired in the murder.

Very little information was been released, but it is believed that the suspect is cooperating.

### COMMUNITY

**4.4.14 "Naboo Soldier Honors Fallen Comrades"**

Theed, NABOO

Today marks the one year anniversary of the Battle of Naboo; a day that Naboo soldier Mikal Sarb will not soon forget. The Trade Federation had been taking advantage of Naboo's lack of interstellar commercial experience and sold the planet's major export of plasma for greatly marked up prices.

The Naboo, under Queen Amidala, attempted to negotiate with the Trade Federation, who were already upset with a Senate tax on interstellar trade. The Trade Federation responded with a military blockade of Naboo, with the aim of forcing Naboo into subservience and to hopefully intimidate the Senate into repealing the taxation measure.

In suit, a war ultimately broke out between the peaceful people of Theed and the mechanical armies of the Trade Federation. Sarb recalls, "It was a slaughter. They [Trade Federation] had a massive landing force and we had a group of barely capable security troopers...I lost many good friends that day."

Mikal Sarb remembered those who fought beside him during the Naboo Remembrance Procession earlier today. The procession was started by several veterans, including Sarb and Captain Panaka of the Royal Security Force.
