Across the Galaxy, billions of HoloNet feeds were interrupted from regularly scheduled programming - and instead cut into a live broadcast from the studio of the Imperial News Network. The footage revealed the azure banner of the network playing behind a correspondence desk, with two news anchored seated and facing the cameras. A human and Twi’lek, both wore solemn expressions on their faces - hinting at the underlying situation.
“Good evening.” The Human news anchor began, both of his hands knitted atop the table. “We are coming to you live with breaking news from our Imperial capital of Raxulon. It is our regret to report that the penthouse residence of Imperial Commander Levik Karn - along with multiple civilians - have been the target of a ruthless act of terror.” The footage cut instead to a live scene in the capital of Raxulon. Plumes of black smoke billowed from the lavish estate - while first responders worked to put the blaze out completely.
Law enforcement had blocked off nearby thoroughfares and swarmed the airways, providing increased security and monitoring of the Imperial capital.
While the footage continued to play, the voice of the Twi’lek anchor continued to explain the situation on the ground. “In the early hours of the morning, the residence of Commander Karn was attacked by a group of unknown assailants - assaulting the complex with explosives and engaging in direct combat with security personnel at the scene. While it is believed that Commander Karn was not present during the attack, I.N.N has already confirmed six troopers killed during the incident, with multiple servicemen rushed to the hospital with critical injuries. Additionally, over a dozen civilians closest to the blast zone have sustained moderate to severe injuries, though with no confirms casualties at this time.”
“Law enforcement has warned that the assailants are Force Sensitive and thus extremely dangerous.”
“Though we have yet to determine a motive for these attacks, eyewitnesses have reported several artifacts and memorabilia being removed from the residence of Commander Karn by those responsible.”
“I.N.N has received confirmation that the Emperor intends to provide a statement regarding these vicious attacks.” The footage quickly cut back to the pair of news anchors, their faces fixed onto stoicism just as before. “While the perpetrators remain at large, the public is encouraged to remain within your homes and businesses, and any suspicious activity should be reported to immediately to Raxulon Emergency Services.”
“We will continue to provide live coverage and updates as the situation evolves.”
