Attendees of the promotion ceremony for newly appointed Governor Rona Kordall were stunned when the evening turned violent and both the Governor and the newly appointed Outpost Director were viciously attacked.

Fortunately, three citizens present acted immediately. Medic Wynn, Dr. Breeza Hobb, and Jate’kara "Saberfist" Kal provided critical medical care and protection to Governor Kordall, Commander Anton Gravanc, and Captain Quintus Conrad.

Their quick and fearless response ensured that the brutal attack resulted in no casualties.

Governor Kordall wasted no time submitting nominations for all three citizens to receive the Selvarin Medal for Distinguished Civilian Service. The Council of Nine unanimously approved the honors, and Governor Kordall is expected to present the medals during a public ceremony in Corox Station at the next market weekend.

Governor Kordall commented on the decision, stating:

“In times of uncertainty and wanton violence, it is refreshing to see citizen heroes stand and help when needed most.”

Today, the gratitude of Selvaris rests with these brave citizens.

Corox Station witnessed one of the largest voter turnouts in its recorded history this week as citizens, merchants, and visiting residents gathered for a spirited and highly anticipated local election.

The event, widely described as both orderly and enthusiastic, was marked by strong participation and an atmosphere of cautious optimism about the station’s future.

The day was not without a measure of last-minute drama. Two candidates, Callon Korvell and Sch'mhamph'raeziwam'lek, were unexpectedly absent from the proceedings. Despite their absence, supporters ensured their voices were still represented. Wynnamir delivered a prepared statement on behalf of Sch'mhamph'raeziwam'lek, while a representative of the Merchants Guild addressed the crowd with remarks supporting Korvell’s candidacy.

The remaining candidates spoke in person, presenting their visions for the station’s future with passion and determination. Many emphasized cooperation between civic leaders, trade interests, and security forces as the path toward prosperity and stability for Corox Station.

Outgoing Mayor Niaidi Jab and Judge Nabrina Fortuna concluded the pre election speeches with remarks of appreciation for the community’s civic participation. Both leaders offered words of encouragement to those gathered, emphasizing that regardless of the election’s outcome, Corox Station’s future remained in capable hands.

As the final tallies were confirmed, the mood across Corox Station turned celebratory. Many citizens remained after the proceedings to congratulate the newly elected officials and discuss the opportunities ahead for their growing community.

In a moment that captured the spirit of the evening, residents and visitors gathered to raise glasses in a champagne toast welcoming the incoming council. The gesture symbolized both gratitude for the station’s civic spirit and optimism for the future.

With Mayor Zoya Eldo, Judge Dr. Ismal Manru, and Sheriff Cieran Tal assuming their duties, Corox Station appears poised for a promising new chapter. The Holonet News Network extends its congratulations to the incoming leadership and wishes them success as they begin the work of guiding the station toward continued prosperity, security, and cooperation for all who call Corox Station home.

Attention Citizens of Corox Station. As some of you are likely aware, on 20 Feb, during an Imperial promotion ceremony, some individuals attacked the Imperial contingent, resulting in the wounding of several Imperial officers including Governor Rona Kordall. At the behest of Provincial Security Chief Ianar Tanau, my office is conducting an investigation into this incident, and we are requesting witness statements and any information regarding this event, including the disposition of the suspects following the attack. Identifying information of the suspects is especially valuable. Any person with credible information about this attack is encouraged to contact Sheriff Cieran Tal directly via Holonet Comms.

Thank you for your cooperation.

A camp of nearly two dozen suspected Sidewinders was dismantled 21 February in a swift operation carried out by members of the local Hunters Guild with assistance from a civilian posse led by newly sworn-in Sheriff Cieran Tal.

The group had reportedly established a rustic homestead within an abandoned barn just outside Corox Station, using the structure as a temporary base of operations. Authorities believe the camp had only been active for a few days before locals identified the location and alerted the Hunters Guild.

According to initial reports, six of the individuals present at the camp were wanted on outstanding bounties connected to prior criminal activity within Caru Province. The remaining occupants are believed to have been loosely affiliated recruits or associates of the Sidewinder band.

Despite being well armed, the group offered little organized resistance. Members of the Hunters Guild, supported by Sheriff Tal’s posse, quickly overran the encampment.

Witnesses described the Sidewinders as poorly coordinated and lacking meaningful defensive preparations. The barn and surrounding area was secured without significant difficulty, and the operation concluded in a relatively short time.

This marks the third known Sidewinder encampment to be raided in Eastern Caru Province in recent weeks. Previous camps were dismantled near Perru Village and along the trade roads outside Siyani Station, suggesting that the organization has been attempting to establish temporary footholds throughout the region.

Provincial Security Chief Ianar Tanau offered a brief statement following the raid.

“These groups may be visible right now, but visibility is not the same as strength,” Tanau said. “What we are seeing are scattered individuals trying to organize themselves. When communities, local law enforcement, and licensed hunters work together, these camps simply do not last.”

Sheriff Cieran Tal, recently sworn into office, also emphasized that the operation represents the beginning of a broader effort to restore order.

“These arrests are only the first step,” Tal stated. “Over the coming months, this office will be making significant strides toward curtailing criminal activity in our town. Drug running, theft, assault, and lawless violence will not be tolerated. My office is making the Sidewinders our main focus, and we will not rest until we have uprooted this dangerous gang. The law will swiftly fall on those who violate it.”

Interestingly, while reports of Sidewinder sightings have increased across Eastern Caru Province, broader crime statistics tell a different story. Officials note that petty crime and incidents of violence in rural areas have declined overall, suggesting that many of these groups are struggling to gain a foothold rather than successfully expanding their operations.

Authorities continue to monitor the region, both the Hunters Guild and local officials are well prepared to respond quickly should additional camps appear.

Attendees of the promotion ceremony for newly appointed Governor Rona Kordall were stunned when the evening’s finale was not the raising of the Imperial flag, but a sudden and brazen attack on several of Selvaris’ senior officials.

As the ceremony concluded near the Corox Station central flagpole, Governor Kordall, newly promoted Quintus Conrad, and Imperial Fleet Commander Anton Gravanc were struck down in what witnesses described as a coordinated assault carried out by a well-trained team.

All three officers were left unconscious on the ground beside the station’s flagpole before the attackers fled the scene.

Fortunately for Governor Kordall, several citizens present possessed medical training and were able to respond quickly. Witnesses report that medic Wynn administered bacta treatment to the Governor, while Dr. Hobb treated Commander Gravanc. Jate’kara Kal reportedly helped secure Captain Conrad until further assistance arrived. Officials report that no lasting injuries have been identified as of this writing.

Most members of the strike team escaped without apprehension. However, one individual believed to be connected to the incident was detained and identified as Miria Russ. No formal charges have been announced at this time.

When asked for comment, Provincial Security Chief Ianar Tanau stated:

“This is an ongoing investigation. No one has claimed responsibility. We have no further information to provide the public at this time.”

Jurisdiction over the case remains somewhat unclear. Strana Lovac was the elected sheriff at the time of the attack but was not present in Corox Station. Meanwhile, Cieran Tal has since been elected to the position, though he had not yet been sworn in when the incident occurred.

Questions remain regarding which authority will ultimately lead the investigation.

Holonet News will continue to follow this developing story.

In a historic announcement that has already begun to echo across the plazas of Caru Province, it has been confirmed that Rona Kordall will become the first Selvarin elevated to the position of Governor.

The promotion marks a defining milestone for Selvaris, symbolizing both Imperial confidence and local achievement. For many citizens, the appointment represents continuity, stability, and recognition of long-standing service to this planet.

Rona Kordall has spent his life in service to Caru Province and Selvaris as a whole. He first came into prominence as a Fundraising Leader for the Caru Recovery Society, where he helped coordinate relief funding and community rebuilding efforts during a fragile period in the province’s history.

He later served as Judge for Caru Province, earning a reputation for procedural discipline and a firm respect for the rule of law. In 10 AFE, he was elected as the Caru Provincial Representative, where he became foundational in economic recovery programs.

Now, that lifetime of service culminates in his elevation to Imperial Governor.

The official promotion will take place in a formal and congruent ceremony in his hometown of Corox Station. In a moment of shared recognition for both civic and Imperial leadership, the event will also celebrate the promotion of Quintus Conrad, who will be elevated to the rank of Captain and assume full duties as Outpost Director.

The joint ceremony is expected to symbolize unity between Selvarin civil governance and Imperial command structure, an alignment many see as essential to continued stability across Caru Province and beyond.

Public reaction across Corox Station has been steady and cautiously optimistic. Many residents view the appointment of a native Selvarin to the governorship as a sign that local dedication and Imperial loyalty are not mutually exclusive, but complementary.

Governor-designate Kordall has not yet issued a comprehensive policy address, though sources indicate his early focus will include economic resilience, youth support initiatives, and enhanced security coordination.

The promotion ceremony honoring Governor-designate Rona Kordall and Captain-to-be Quintus Conrad will be held Friday, February 20th at 10:00 PM, at the Sector Zero Cantina in Corox Station. Citizens and officers alike are encouraged to attend and witness this historic moment for Selvaris.

In a further development to what has become Corox Station’s most closely watched contest, a last-minute candidate has entered the race for Sheriff.

Sch'mhamph'raeziwam'lek, a Senator from Iego, has formally declared their candidacy, expanding the field and adding an offworld legislative perspective to the role of local law enforcement.

In responses provided to Holonet News, Sch'mhamph'raeziwam'lek outlined a structured and security-focused approach beginning with personnel selection.

“My first step is to find and hire deputies that are proficient in combat and have proven to have good judgment in stressful situations.”

They emphasized diversity of background within the department as a stabilizing force for Corox’s factional landscape.

“I would like to try and hire a few of them from a variety of groups within the town, in an effort to promote cooperation between the factions and the residents.”

Beyond recruitment, the candidate described an administrative phase focused on review and preparedness.

“Following that, my next steps would involve reviewing the laws, setting up defense and emergency plans for the town, and working with previous enforcement to address issues that may have grown in the intervening months since the previous market weekend.”

On Imperial coordination, Sch'mhamph'raeziwam'lek pointed to an existing professional relationship with Quintus Conrad, who is expected to assume expanded leadership responsibilities at the Imperial Outpost.

“As Quintus Conrad and myself have had a previous working relationship, and especially with his upcoming promotion to Director of the Imperial Outpost, I will be working with him to solidify plans on how each of our strengths can benefit the other.”

The candidate’s stated priority blends enforcement with prevention.

“My priority, first and foremost, for all citizens - everyday or otherwise- is to create a safe and prosperous town.”

They further emphasized addressing the underlying pressures that contribute to lower-level offenses.

“My principles will be focused on amending the root causes of petty crime, and giving those who feel they have no other choice an option instead.”

At the same time, Sch'mhamph'raeziwam'lek made clear that enforcement remains central to the office.

“I will still apprehend those that commit crimes, but I will also be pushing to ease the burdens on everyday citizens so that they need not feel they have no options.”

With this declaration, the Sheriff’s race now includes multiple candidates representing markedly different backgrounds: a Mandalorian bounty hunter, an Imperial Inquisitor, and an offworld Senator.

Holonet News will continue to provide updates should additional developments arise as Corox Station voters prepare to decide who will be entrusted with the town’s security and order.

Holonet News concludes its candidate profile series with the most recent, and final, declaration in the race for Sheriff of Corox Station.

The newly declared candidate is Sixteenth Sibling, an Imperial Inquisitor currently stationed on Selvaris. Their entry into the race creates a contested field for the sheriff’s office and brings an explicitly Imperial perspective to the position.

In responses provided to Holonet News, Sixteenth Sibling outlined a two-part approach to public safety.

“Safety and security can be found through a two-part approach, focused on removing threats both from without and within.”

First, they emphasized recruitment and coordination in response to external dangers.

“I intend to recruit new deputies from among the people of Corox Station. I will make sure they are properly paid and equipped, from my own funds if necessary.”

They identified outside enemies, particularly the Heralds, as a primary historical threat to the settlement.

“In the past, the greatest physical threat to Corox Station has been from external enemies, mainly the Heralds. A coordinated response is the best way to deal with this threat. Communication and speed have proven vital, both of which I plan to facilitate.”

Second, Sixteenth Sibling described a structured approach to lesser offenses, focusing on controlled resolution rather than escalation.

“I intend to focus on rehabilitation when it comes to lesser crimes, such as possession of contraband. Those in possession of these items will be given an opportunity to have them purchased for up to half of their value, with no other consequences.”

They further stated that narcotics possession would be addressed with medical intervention when necessary.

“Possessors of narcotics will also be given medical care to treat withdrawal symptoms if necessary.”

On the question of Imperial coordination, Sixteenth Sibling was clear in defining jurisdictional boundaries.

“Imperial forces are best used to enforce Imperial law. When there are violations to Imperial law, Imperial security forces will be informed and Imperial procedures will be followed.”

Outside of strictly Imperial violations, they expressed support for coordinated but structured cooperation.

“Otherwise, I believe Imperial security forces should coordinate with deputies in situations that threaten the town’s safety, as these dangers threaten all of us and disorganized action will lead to failure.”

When asked what principles would guide enforcement decisions, Sixteenth Sibling emphasized objectivity and evidence.

“The first priority of any who enforce the law should be to discover and confirm the truth. Facts and evidence are the best way to prevent the innocent from being unnecessarily punished and the guilty from going free.”

They described an investigative philosophy grounded in detachment.

“I intend to view every investigation without emotional distractions or biases, only logic and reason. This is the best way to maintain order and minimize harm and inconvenience to everyday civilians.”

Holonet News presents each candidate’s words directly so that voters may evaluate them clearly and without distortion. With this final profile, coverage of declared candidates for Mayor, Sheriff, and Judge is complete.

Corox Station voters will now determine which vision of security, governance, and civic order will guide the settlement forward.
