MANDALORE--We are live on the scene as a freighter full of Emryc Thorne fangirls are to touch down on Mandalore. This move comes in the shadow of the latest act of war in a series of dramas surrounding Emryc Thorne's Fan Club. After a Mandalorian bounty hunter stunned the President of the Fan Club, Pootina Thorne, the fans have rallied under their banner, and their ship is just now reaching Mandalorian space so that they may exercise their protest.

1300 local time: The freighter has landed, and the doors are slowly sliding open. Tensions are high here, with a considerable crowd of armored Mandalorians gathered. Some have set off flares and shot blasters into the air.
1310 local time: A tense first encounter lead to outright chaos as the Mandalorian counter protestors clashed with the Fan Club. Local police have moved in, but they seem relatively uninterested in restoring order.
1330 local time: After a great ridiculing and much insulting, they have managed to slither their way out of combat and are slowly but surely limping to their hotel. Unbeknownst to them, another group of Mandalorians are waiting outside the hotel to dish out some more judgement. More on this story as it develops.
