Galactic News:
Battle At Kalee: In a stunning act of warmongering a rogue group of Separatist ships lead by the feared Admiral Trench attempted to assault the Kaleesh homeworld of Kalee, failing only due to staunch resistance from Council forces. Despite repeated assurances from the Separatist leadership that Trench was acting on his own initiative, many in the galaxy are skeptical due to the large amount of materiel Trench had access to during the assault.
Scandals Rock Republic Intelligence Alongside Assassination of Its Director: Recent evidence of Covert Ops troopers firing upon clone troopers has rocked Republic Intelligence, with many calling for massive audits and vastly increased transparency within the organization. The branch has been sluggish to respond as it has also been dealing with the fallout of the sudden assassination of its director Armand Isard, with unconfirmed reports indicating a rogue Covert Ops trooper may have been responsible.
Silver Cross Begins Relief Efforts on Honoghr: While the Separatists have continued to deny responsibility for the destruction on Honoghr, relief efforts have now been formally organized by the venerated Silver Cross organization. They have been leading a team of independent researchers and specialists to help combat the spread of the bioweapon, which has been seeing slow but steady success.
Underworld News:
The Hunt for Galen Erso Continues: While the bounties on Galen Erso are still standing, the fall of Republic Intelligence has forced the client in question to inadvertently reveal himself as Orson Krennic, as his clear inexperience with dealing with the underworld has left a noticeable trail back to him. While news of this has deterred some would-be hunters, others are still continuing their search for the man.
Mysterious Contracts Spreading Among Paramilitary Groups: Recently word has been spreading that various paramilitary groups have been more closely aligning themselves with the CNS, with the Lok Revenants notably participating in the Battle of Kalee. For now the reasons behind this remain quiet, however those who are more "in the know" suspect that the Abyss Watchers are attempting to marshal an army similar to Maul and Savage for some yet-unknown purpose.
Organization News:
The Jebble Box is Opened: While heavily classified, news that the legendary Jebble Box not only contained a powerful Sith artifact but a living, breathing woman from over 4000 years ago has made considerable waves. While the woman in question, Celeste Morne, is currently attempting to readjust to the new timeframe, the researchers aware of her existence have been frequently asking her questions and running tests with her permission, wanting to know more about this ancient warrior.
Mysterious Disappearances Tied to COMPOR Rallies: Abysswalker Olie has reported an alarming trend in recent missing persons reports on Coruscant; namely that many of these people were either last seen or recently seen at COMPOR rallies, and were noted to be fervent supporters of the organization's ideals. While normally this would not be be newsworthy in and of itself, the location of the disappearances and corroborations from other locations with a notable COMPOR presence indicate this may be a matter worth looking into.
The Return of Qymaen jai Sheelal: To the shock of many amongst the organization, especially those who have been familiar with the man since becoming aware of him during the Huk-Kaleesh War, the former Grievous has announced that his title no longer suits him and has respectfully requested that he be referred to by his actual name: Qymaen jai Sheelal, or Qymaen for short. Many Kaleesh members have openly suggested that "Grievous" has already ascended to the ranks of the Kaleesh pantheon, leaving behind Qymaen as his still-living body. The man himself has refused to comment on the matter.
The Hunt for Ancient Knowledge: While the reasons are heavily classified, archaeology teams across the galaxy have been ordered to focus their searches on lost information, especially on Force anomalies. An expedition to Ossus' archives is currently pending due to highly successful interactions with the local populace, while other teams have simply shifted their efforts accordingly.
ADDENDUM: Archaeology teams on Yavin IV have been exempt from this order due to [REDACTED]

AN: And we are just about back! You'll probably be seeing more changes to the front pages as I sweep out the cobwebs, but everything should be ready to go by the time we get properly back into the swing of things. For now, rejoice that it doesn't take you a full minute to scroll down it now that I've had the
genius idea of using collapseables for it. (Past Me, why didn't you do that sooner!?)
But now is the time for the return of a thread tradition: for you all to flood me with potential actions and for me to nearly lose my mind as I try to parse all of them
If anything was suggested before/during the hiatus I would politely ask that they are either quoted at me or reposted so I don't have to go searching for them.
