1.1: A PLAGUE RETURNED
By Serena Lorall, T.I.P. Correspondent

KARBALA CITY, KALAAN--Terror struck today at the former capital when the Ministry of Science discovered that the Weeping Plague had returned to the empire. For three years the pathogen had thought to be eradicated after the Ministry of Secrets cleansing. Her Imperial Majesty has ordered that Karbala, along with the rest of the Reclamation District, be placed under quarantine enforced by the new Minister of War, Moff Holcomb. Mentions of the Plague were to be suppressed as to not generate panic. However our sources have stated that, "The [Weeping] Plague has returned, yes. We are not sure how or when it got here, but we are working vigilantly to keep things under control over here."

The Empress later confirmed during an Assembly of the People that rumours were true, and the plague had indeed returned. She allowed citizens to participate in an open forum to discuss what they believed should be done.

Glory to the Empress.

1.2: REVOLUTIONARIES AMONG THE NATIVES

THE IMPERIAL PALACE, KALAAN--Tensions were growing among the Kalaanites this week as the Ministry of War increased security at the Karbala Quarantine Zone. Verkahj, a Kalaanite native, has been working alongside the poorer humans and other aliens to form a resistance movement against the Throne. Darth Anryus, the former Minister of War, and his brother Darth Jaggus, formed a strike team with the grace of the Empress to shut down the revolutionaries.

The movement was swiftly crushed, being that the strike team was lead by the two top generals in the Ministry of War. T.I.P. interviewed a Lieutenant serving at one of the outposts about the engagement. He said, "I could not believe how they did it. They were in and out with lightning speed, my chrono marked an hour, tops."

Elsewhere, The Prophet Darth Rayahk returned from her trek in Wild Space and returned with grave news. She had discovered the lightsaber of Darth Vilus, a decades-long rival of Darth Miritis who had sought the destruction of the Order, found on the jungle planet of Kaeshun. Grim times are ahead for the Order.

Glory to the Empress.
