"We interrupt you currently scheduled prgraming for his breaking news update from your local Holonet Affiliate"

*Once again a mundane news logo flashes across the screen, then fades away to reveal a polished middle aged human, and a well figured twi'lek female, each wearing a bussiness suit.*

"Hello, my name is Horace Higyt. And this is Filektcy Fillie. Thank you for staying tuned for this important new break. We have a follow up on a story we broke several days ago."

He paused for a moment then continued.

"We have recieved word from sources on Ison, in the Outter Rim Soveringty, and Sathora, in the Anthos Republic that a hostage situation is currently underway on both of the planets."

*A quick screen shot noted the location of Ison and Sathora on a holomap, then returned the screen to Horace*

"Details are sketchy at the moment, and w are still trying to contact the respective governments involved for comment. However, we do have an interesting note to be added to this story. For that, I'll turn this story over to Filektcy."

*The camera panns to the Twi'lek, wearign a revealing bussiness jacket closed with one button*

"Thanks Horace. We said at the begginning of this program that this newsbreak was a follow up of a previous story, and this is how.

*A picture of Brutus Nogoth is inserted at an inset at th top of the picutre.*

"This man, Brutus Nogoth, head of a terrorist organization known as the Galactic Liberation Front has sent out another holotape claiming responsibility for these hostage situations, as well as listing a series of demands.

We have been asked by seeral anti-terrorism officals to refrain from showing this tape, as it could be a signal to set off more attacks, however, we are at liberty to release the demands of Mr. Nogoth."

Another inset poped up, and Nogoth's persona faded.

To the ORS:

-Immediate soveringty for the planet Anoat.
-A referendum on free elections along the entire Ison Corridor
-Monetary Reparations of the familes of those killed in the capture of Anoat

To the Anthos Republic

-The withdrawl of any vessels operating outside Anthos space
-Immedate resignation of President Isjhe Kaant
-Destruction of any heavy ships of 1500 meters.

"We'll keep you up to date on all all new developments in this story as they become available."

GC Press Release

The Galactic Coalition condems any and all terrorist or criminal acts, taken inside it's borders, or outside it's borders. We view taking hostages as not only an act of terrorism, but also a criminal act. We respectfully request that the governments mentioned proceed in an intelligent manner, and do their best to make sure that no one is hurt.

We also request that anyone with knowledge of Brutus Nogorth, including his whereabouts, and any information on the so-called Galactic Liberation Front contact us immediately, as he and his followers are wanted for crimes of terror, including the terrorist events on Carida, Honoghr, Aargua, N'Zoth, Geonosis and Eriadu.

Citizens, fear not, we have been notified that the Empire has potentially discovered a routine to these attacks. CHANGE IS COMING. Using the first letter of all the planets attack so far, we have CHANGE IS. Therefore we have placed our troops on high alert, and are looking for suspected terrorists on all our planets, though extra attention has been paid to planets begining with the first letters spelling COMING, so if you live on Gernon, Mon Calamari, Mnedia 4, Cerea and Nkllon, you will definately be seeing lots of troops. We apologise to anyone who is delayed by these new procedures, but we feel that this is the best way to defend our citizens. If your property is somehow damaged, we will be more then willing to pay for the damage. As well we have sent this information to the Outer-Rim Sovereignty, and we have offered to send troops to their planets, if they so wish. We also extend this offer to any and all governments who we have friendly relations with, including the Empire.

Terrorists will not be allowed to prevail on our worlds, or the worlds of our friends. Anyone wishing for our help in protecting their worlds can ask for it, and will receive it.

As well, relief missions are being sent to all of the planets that have suffered terrorist attacks.
