OOC: Broadcast on the secure Jedi Order network.
Alex stood alone against the cold backdrop of space. The twinkling lights of faraway systems blinking steadily behind her. The Republic had collapsed. The Free Worlds not far behind. Even the Empire was a shade of its former heights. The galaxy was changing…faster than she could ever have imagined. They had been at war for so long, she had forgotten what a semblance of peace felt like. How to start? She never knew how to start. “Coruscant was our home for centuries. A home that was poisoned…perhaps far longer than we knew.” Alex shook her head sadly. “A Darkside nexus…the most powerful I have ever felt beat beneath the Temple. Hidden away in sections from centuries ago. It seeded fear, anger, and hate across Coruscant. That nexus is gone.” The words hung for a moment. “The Darkside has been cleansed by my hand and that of Jedi Starwalk.” Already the riots that had spread across the planet had quelled. “But our work cannot be done. The toll it took has raged across generations and it will take time to heal those wounds.” A map of the galaxy flashed on the screen.
“The galaxy we know is gone. Now, more than ever, we must be builders…healers…a light for the galaxy to follow. Make no mistake, the Sith are not gone. Our fight with them goes on. We know too well the path that follows unchecked darkness and Raze still lurks in the hidden corners of the unknown. But we will no longer be soldiers in a bloody war.” The map faded to show her determined face. “We must remain committed to uniting the galaxy against the Killik threat. A threat now all the greater for the splintering of the Republic and Free Worlds.” A threat that never seemed to fade.
“And I would caution you all on the new constructs of the Empire. We would do well to remember it was not Jedi hands that finally expelled the Sith, but the Darkside comes in many forms.” The Imperial Knights were largely former Sith. Darksiders with uniforms. Finally, she stepped forward. “We must change as the galaxy has changed. We became and army to protect ourselves and our allies. We must be more. It is the only way to heal a shattered galaxy.” The feed cut out.
