TRAVESTY vs. TRAGEDY
        -the destruction of Alderaan & the Death Star-

   In good faith, as a journalist I couldnot sway to one side in the
great debate of the destructions of two colonies, one a peaceful
world of the core & the other the Galactic Empire's greatest triumph-
a space station the size of a moon that has been dubbed the "Death
Star".  This begins a mini-series of posts I will prepare a little
out of standard Cross-Sector style, these articles *WILL* be biased
toward the views of the two parties involved: the survivers of the Old
Republic that struggle to usurp the Galactic Empire & that strong
tradition that the Old Republic blossomed into under its former
president, then self proclaimed Emperor... Palpatine.

   Please understand these articles are NOT the expressed views of
the Cross-Sector or its supporters.  The Cross-Sector holds to its
original statement:  "We're anti-Empire,
                        we're anti-Republic
                          we're anti-everybody!"
Please enjoy this retrospect in the fashion it was ment, a tribute to
each life lost & a boon for the future of the galaxy...

     "...time will tell & so will we...
This has been Arriot Fuches reporting for the Cross/Sector..."

    Campaign Timeline: 7.0 - 10.4 ASW4  (seven to ten yrs after ANH)
    Campaign InBrief: Rebel/Smugglers based on the DarkStryder
                      Campaign Boxed set in the OuterRims.
    About the Article: Josh asked me if I would write posts on the
destruction of Alderaan & then the destruction of the 1st Death Star
in both Imperial/Alliance views.  Since my campaign is set 10 years
after the tragic turning points & he needs them for a campaign set
during the time, I thought I would have Arry write sort of retrospect
articles with no definate time period in the writing so anyone could
use them.  It seems kind of appropriate for my time period to have
these resurface in HoloNews since it is the 10th year aniversery &
the Empire has just reclaimed 75% of the known galaxy.  I figured the
Cross-Sector would reprint these to remind people, soooo... thanks
for the idea Josh.

This series will be numbered 18-a thru 18-e then I will continue with
article post issue 19.

BTW-  I haven't forgotten the idea to write a Wookiee bigotry
post, it'll come.

     If you have questions or suggestions mail me.
