BREAKING NEWS

!!!!!!!!!!!!WAR DECLARED!!!!!!!!!!

In a landfall victory for War Supporters, the Jedi Council announced today in an official government holo-press release that it was declaring war on the European Empire. The announcment is really simply a technicallity, as both Empires have been on the brink of war for days; small skirmishes occuring frequently all over the Metaverse, though none ever developed into full out wars. Here is an exerpt from the release:
"The Council, voting 4 in favor and 9 abstaining, passed the War Declaration in their most recent sitting."

The name's of the Councilers who voted for the Declaration have not been released, however, insider's in the Temple report that the Head Council Member, Master Yoda himself was in favor of the War. Of course with this announcment comes a rise in Navy readiness from Level 5 (Hightened Readiness) to Level 1 (War-Time) where Generals and Battlefield Commanders are allowed to openly engage the enemy and attempt to gain ground into the opposing Empire's Space.

As we reported in our initial break of this story, the new Jedi Republic ship, alledgedly called the "eraser", will likely be unveiled during the course of this conflict.

Stay tuned to this and our sister station, the Metaverse Review for the latest in this developing story. We will report more on this and other events related to the new conflict as conditions warrant.
