Toydaria - “…to interrupt your regularly scheduled Tresario News Network programming, but we have some breaking news. To analyze this, we go to our chief political correspondent, Chotch Rodriguez. Chotch, what can you tell us about today’s momentous events?”

The camera pans to a handsome Trandoshan wearing an expensive suit with slicked down Wookie pelt toupee sitting behind a news desk. He shuffles his papers before beginning his report in a silky baritone.

“While the galaxy continues to be a tumultuous maelstrom plagued by pirates and rebels, there are many reasons that citizens who crave stability and order can celebrate. This week, we are happy to add another to that long list. Tresario Star Kingdom and Black Sun, two of the pillars of the Imperial Union for nearly a decade, have reached an arrangement to deepen security ties. In a move designed to optimize territorial consolidation and improve production synergies Tresario will take over the stewardship of the Iego system, giving the group control of the entire Ash Worlds sector. In exchange, Black Sun will receive an economic stimulus package, additional wartime material, and technological considerations. I was fortunate enough to interview several of the principles involved in signing of this historic arrangement.

Wedge Cornely, Premier of the Tresario Star Kingdom, proudly stated 'I've known the Dark Prince for years, and I'm pleased that our relations are stronger than ever, and thank him and Black Sun for this deal. I look forward to continuing to strengthen our bond not only with Black Sun, but with the Imperial Union as a whole.'

Shawn Veldn, Field Marshal for the Tresario Military touted the previous military cooperation between the governments, indicating that time in Serrocco helped forge close ties. 'Working with Black Sun and Dark Prince Lothbrok through combined operations in Serrocco showed me the quality of our Black Sun allies. We hold them in the highest regard, and look forward to this cooperative agreement strengthening our ties, both militarily and politically.'

For his part, Dark Prince Thrall Lothbrok stated 'I’ve been fortunate to know many friends within the Kingdom over the years, and consistently they have proven within the fires of Serroco, the forges of Malicar, or the occasional heated chambers of Politics. That true allies are not forged through empty agreements and promises, but consistent action and support. This agreement heralds that the bonds between our great nations can grow stronger still. And I look forward to ensuring that through Military, Economic, and Political cooperation both our futures are brighter than ever.'

We will continue to provide updates as they become available, but from where this Trandoshan sits, I think the galaxy will sleep just a little bit better tonight. Rodriguez out, back to you Rusty”
