"Let us remove the stain of the Jedi from this place .... We are the Fire."
Words spoken by @Darth Caelestis himself as he launched the invasion of Ossus at the Jedi Temple there. Caelestis was supported by @Bir Vuul and @Ben Haradanwith the Avillion Royal Fleet in tow. The Jedi were the ardent defenders with the then-Jedi Councilor @Alexandria Voran taking the fight directly to the big man himself while @Vinry Forge @Drow Venn, @Drastus Drahr and @Crix Aran also stood in opposition against the Sith. Not only that, the Ossein Kowkian Devil Fleet's protection deal with the Jedi for Ossus was also put to the test as they stood against the Royal Fleet.
In the end, Darth Caelestis was captured by the Jedi.
Kidnapping of President Thorne
A group of pirates @Rav Haskeen, @Drussk, and @Davik Lorso kidnapped the ISC President @Emryc Thorne by chance and transported him to Kafrene to await ransom payments from the Intergalactic Systems Consortium. In the meantime, a large number of people from the main Sector Rangers, the ISC Rangers, the Jedi, and independents, and members of the President's own fan-club attempted to investigate his whereabouts where he was kidnapped to.
After the first of two payments the Sith Empire attacked Kafrene headed spearheaded by Empress @Darth Andruil herself supported by many others in what looked like a random strike on Syndicates space. The pirates dispersed as a result and they were unaware of what happened with the President until they saw him on the HoloNet announcing his war against the Five Syndicates.
This there were some unforeseen incidents that happened. After ISC President Emryc Thorne was kidnapped, a crew was put together on Coruscant to investigate the circumstances. One of the members, a Mandalorian, Emryc Thorne Fanclub President Pootalina Thorne, believing her to be a Jedi weapon of war due to her unnatural stench. As a result, a group of members of the Fan Club flew to Mandalore to protest but they were shot down by a Mandalorian pretending to be a pirate. During an investigation, he was found out and now the Galactic Senate is moving to investigate what happened and how to action it.

Despite governments and organizations doing everything they can do to minimize the spread and toll of the virus, the virus continues to spread and take co-sign more lives to zombification. But the hope everyone has been waiting for years has now made it on the market: the AMS vacinne made by @Dr Ilana Morata with her company MorataCorp. A big boon for the galaxy, which can protect people against the virus.
Now all that remains is to distribute the vaccine. It's a big galaxy so it will be a big challenge.
*These hotspots are not the only traces of AMS in the galaxy but are the most notable one. This is a reminder that AMS has spread through most of the galaxy from the Outer Rim to the Core Worlds.
The Jedi Order pushes forward in a concerted effort to shift public perception and united the galaxy. Recent efforts have lead to friendlier relations between the New Republic, Free Worlds Alliance and Jedi Order. The Jedi attempt to walk a careful line given the growing tensions between the New Republic and FWA.
In an effort to thaw frosty feelings with the ISC, Councilor @Alexandria Voran contacted ISC Secretary of Defense @Carrick to lend aid in the search for President @Emryc Thorne. While the search party did not find President Thorne, this may be an important step in further diplomatic relations. Young Jedi Knight @Crix Aran is in the middle of banding the Jedi together to a fleet graveyard to search for ancient and lost artifacts.
Finally, Sith Lord @Darth Caelestis launched an attack on Ossus. Unbeknownest to the Sith, the Jedi maintained a hidden Jedi Temple on the world. The Jedi and Ossien fleet banded together to repel the Sith forces leading to the capture of the Sith Lord and portions of his mighty fleet.
Also, @Drow Venn and @Taldorak Trenessar launched another of their false flag operations to sow Sith distrust in the Five Syndicates. Dressed as Pykes, the team made their way to Eiatu and sprang the Princess, causing several riots and killing several Imperial guards before escaping.
In the wake of their amalgamation as a full Empire, the Sith Order has been at full activity. @Darth Caelestis arranged for a great tournament. Different Sith, and even outsiders interested in potential prizes, duke it out to test their might before crowds of onlookers!
Formation of the Imperial Armed Forces was formalized, with warships and droids built in secret at Exegol expanding their arms. The Sith Kingdom of Avillion stands around it, growing in size and power at the behest of its king. Shipyards and factories within Avillion and main Sith space work tirelessly to produce items of destruction and war.
Tortured and twisted in the depths of darkness, @Tiamat accepted the true Mask of the Eternal. She has joined a long line of others who worn the it, for better or ill.
Slighted by the Efforts of the Jedi on Ossus, the Sith Order mounts a Reprisal Attack in the Outer Rim. A mix of military forces lead by @Gideon Millemm and various acolytes invade the neutral system of Kabal to take it for the Sith Empire and gain glory for themselves. @Darth Asminys himself is at the head of the attack, his lander crashed but the man himself still marching ever onward.
Five Syndicates
There is a bit of bad news for the Syndicates. When @Preef Callo and Empress @Darth Andruil had talks to discuss potential deals to further their loose informal alliance with each other. Andruil had good offers and Preef had good counterpoints. But in the end, the negotiations broke down and ended in a fight. At the end of the struggle Preef fell to his death, thereby meeting his end...
Or so he would have everyone believe. Although no one found his trademark Peacemaker, his boots were recovered and he was presumed dead. Now the Crymorah has no Crime Lord, leaving the power vacuum open while he retires to be a rancher with everyone else none-the-wiser.
That's not the end of the Five Syndicates problems as...
The Galactic Senate
Things in the Galactic Senate have been heating up as tensions run high in the galaxy still in the wake of Denon. The Senate Convened and the two topics of Supreme Chancello @Emil Ro actions and @Cal Starros's proposal for sanctions against the Sith were discussed. There was passion and outrage coming from from the Senators both from the FWA and New Republic. The topic was still not resolved. It would continue in another secession.
Next is the proposed sanctions by Senator Starros of Lothal. There was much discussion, much debate, much passion coming from all three of the big governments that comprise the Galactic Senate but there could be only one result. The sanctions passed.
Just the announcement of this would send shockwaves through the galactic community as newsletters (1) (2) (3) wasted no time picking it apart.
Truly are all the politicians under a microscope with tensions running high as many tabloids have been following them.
Lastly, the FWA Prime Minster @Naeva Rue has been ousted in a vote of no confidence. Although she has served well in a time of peace, the current FWA climate feels she can't continue. The Hard working and intelligent Senator @Korre Belasi has been voted Prime Minister in a snap election.
