Piecemeal reports of an explosion at Centerpoint Station within the Coreliian system are coming in. We know that the system has been put on alert, and there is also a rumor that a Star Destoryer has been hijacked. Unconfirm....
*the screen changes to show a holonet news report live from Corellia showing the President of the Five Worlds addressing his people.*
"Citizens, it is with sad news I must report on this tragedy. One of our esteemed comrades, Talvan Kells my long-time friend and right hand was one of the people killed in this most shameful attack on us. It is with further sadness I report that amongst the number of those presumed dead is Lord Zairon of the RGE, the two had been in a summit to ensure continued peace and prosperity of our two peoples when the attack occured, it is likely this summit and themselves were the specific targets. At this time, I am not placing the blame on any individual or organization, we have only just confirmed it was not an accident, and we will not rush blindly into false accusations that could set us on a irreversible course of conflict. Our galaxy has been cursed with enough war and strife for more generations than are currently alive, and we will not rush to add to another pointless war.
The crowd of people press forward yelling and making all sorts of speculative threats, agents of the news media raise their hands and wave them to try and ask questions, and the President covers the microphone and talks with one of his advisors or security, it is difficult to tell the difference. He turns back, and gestures for the crowd to settle down, which takes several moments and his continued gesturing.
It takes him several false starts for the crowd to quiet enough for him to continue, "We... We... Corellia will not however sit by and roll over for such an affront to our people. We will find the ones responsible for this, and they will be punished for this crime, on that you have my word. We shall not rest until the truth is found!"
In the general chaos that erupts, the president takes his leave and the screen returns to the GNN broadcast booth.
The anchorbeing sits there stunned for several moments until they cut to different coverage of people discussing the incident. It is quite clear that even the news media is not keeping up fully on the events unfolding and have been caught flat-footed
