Rumors that have been circulation for several days on a change in military leadership at the highest of levels of the Galactic Coalition have just been confirmed today by AGP. A copy of a letter, written and signed by the General Joren Logan of the Onyxian Commonwealth was obtained by AGP today confirming Logan's resignation.

Logan's leaving marks a huge shift in leadership in the Coalition and leaves a noticeable void. Several contenders for the position include Logan's own son, Captain Caleb Logan, Admiral Ferus Neychev, and several others.







My fellow citizens,

I am hereby announcing that I am resigning my position as a military commander in the Galactic Coalition.

I have many reasons for this, but the first most is that I feel very, very old. I have been warring for many different governments for close to forty years now, and I am tired. I am tired of war, and tired of battle. I am tired of the many deaths of those at my command, and by my command. I have split blood in every corner of this galaxy and to tell the truth, I cannot continue to do so.

Recent events have caused me to question my role in this government, which I now consider to be corrupt. The Galactic Coalition started off as a single idea, something so fragile that it could shatter if mishandled. That dream, one of hope and freedom, has now been taken and twisted into the personal dictatorship of several select individuals, one of whom is the Prime Minister himself.

I always tried to do my duty, when asked of me. And I did it the very best I could. But now, I have reason to question my orders, to question my duty, and when a soldier is forced to choose his orders over morality, then he should no longer be a soldier. I no longer believe I have the right or skill to lead these fine young soldiers in battle.

In closing, I want to state my whole belief that the Galactic Coalition has become an ineffectual government, and without some change in leadership, it will continue to falter as it has since it's inception. My repeated warnings have fell on deaf ears, and in turn, I believe the Coalition has begun it's slow decline into obscurity.

My the Force be with you.

Signed,

General Joren Logan, Onyxian Commonwealth Defense Force




Logan also resigned his status today as Pro-Consul of the Onyxian Commonwealth in a private speech. Some of the transcript of that speech was also obtained:



"I hereby resign my position as Pro-Consul of the Onyxian Commonwealth...

...To the people of the Onyxian Commonwealth, your support and trust has always been invaluable to me, and I hope that you will continue to support the government of Onyx as you have me. I leave a core group of excellent men to lead the Commonwealth, and I ask you to put your full trust in them...."



Logan leaves behind two major positions of leadership, one as a major military commander of a sizable chunk of the Coalition's fleet, and the other as head of an entire government. His loss will soon be felt by all members of the Onyxian Commonwealth, and upper echelons of Coalition leadership.

When asked, Minister Jan Dondana had this statement:

"It was my unfortunate duty today to accept the resignation of General Joren Logan. Over the years General Logan has served the causes he believes in with honor and distinction. I was the one who traveled to Onyx to recruit him to the banner of the Coalition and it is sad for me personally to see him go. It is also a sad day for the Coalition to see someone who has fought so valiantly over the years for our cause to retire, however I understand his reasons. I too have been fighting for many years and I can sympathize with him as I feel the same strains and tiredness that no doubt led to his resignation. No further questions..."


Calls place to Prime Minister Regrad's office went unreturned.
