*Incoming live news feed from the Talus Governors Office.*

*Marius Sanguine stands with the Talus Military, Domestic, and Economic advisors behind him. His face is solemn as he reads from a prepared statement*

Hello to you all, I am Marius Sanguine. It is my unfortunate duty to report to everyone that last night, the Governor of Talus, Lord Revenant Blade was killed.

He was lured into a trap striving to insure the defense of Talus by a cult of Dark Force users. And was reported deceased due to a structural collapse caused by an explosion inside a grouping of ruins on Yavin IV.

This Dark Side terrorist group has been identified as a cult calling themselves simply, "Dread". And it is uncertain their exact plans in all of this, but I am sure of one thing...

I have been appointed via, Lord Blade's will and testament to assume command over all he held. And with the Empires approval I am now the acting Governor of Talus as well. And I can promise all Talus Citizens, as well as the Galaxy at large one thing...

Lord Blade Will Be Avenged. I am calling to all bounty hunters, and all of our allies to ready yourselves to be mobilized. This Dark Side threat which has recently emerged must be hunted down, and destroyed.

This is not only an act against us, the Talus Government. But against the Empire, and all peaceful citizens of the Galaxy. And this will not go unpunished.

I will be meeting with several of our allies, and supporters over the coming week to discuss a strategy, and for now I ask for the support of everyone. This is a dark time that has befallen us, but a bright dawn comes. That I promise.

We would like to wish, Aymeh'lee Blade our sincerest condolences on the loss of her father, and Lady Ski'bo Dosni on the loss of her fiancee. This affects all of us here, as it is something I know none of us ever expected.

For now, this is Marius Sanguine, Acting Governor of Talus, and CEO of Shadow Blade Enterprises thanking everyone in advance for their support.
