Date: Mon, 10 Mar 1997 18:07:23 -0500 (EST) From: Mike Gagne Subject: [SW-RPG] HOLONEWS: Pro-Slavery March Beaten to Death ________________________________________________________________________________ The Galactic - CROSS/SECTOR - ******************************************************************************** A HoloNews subsidiary serving the Outer Rim Territories and BEYOND -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Galactic Date: 14:5:05 (2 months after the destruction of the first Death Star and 4 months before Hoth) A pro-alien slavery march in Imperial City on Coruscant was beaten and killed by pro-freedom demonstrators just recently. We have received this holo from what is known as the No Holds Barred Holo Industry in the Minos Cluster. [Screen flickers and finally locks into focus] About 12 demonstrators leave the gates of Imperial Palace and parade around the square, guarded by 6 Arakyd Viper Probe Droids. The probot on the middle left all of sudden goes nuts, opens its laser cannon and blows the other probots to pieces. The demostrators turn to the droid and several large, aliens: Wookiees, Seer(Think Pitt from the comic series) and other large alien species, run into the crowd. The Seer are carrying what seem to be planks of Dreadnaught hull armor and hitting the pro-slavery protestors. Stormtroopers come running out of Imperial Palace and the malfunctioning probot guns them down. This riot continues for several minutes until all the protestors, wearing Mon Cal-skin shoes and Wookiee-fur coats, are beaten nearly to death. The vid goes to black with a white emblem on it. The emblem is of one large white creature, apparently very dangerous, lunging at the viewer with 11 smaller white animals of the same kind walking in a circle with a white "12" in the middle. [Screen returns to reporter] This holo is now in wide circulation throughout the galaxy and the little known "Army of the 12 Wampas" have claimed responsibility for this act of terror. The Empire released an altered vid not much later showing Stormtroopers calimg down the crowd. The aliens shown in the vid are known slave species in the Empire and apparently are fighting for freedom. This has been Raf Jenkins reporting for the Cross/Sector... _____________________________________________________________________________ "Banned by the Empire & loving every minute of it!!" ***************************************************************************** ***************************************************************************** GM Scoop: This takes place a few months after Yavin. My PCs were leaving their crime boss' hideout on Coruscant(Army of the 12 Wampas) and saw this on their way to the spaceport. The Seer is a rather large race of tough, strong and gentle minded aliens. For a good picture, check out your local comic shop and look for an Image Comics book called "Pitt". This was to show how much the 12 Wampas hated slavery. For more info on the 12 Wampas, Seer and other parts of my campaign, email me privately. Mike
