Greetings again for the eighth month in a row, fellow SWRPers! This months newsletter includes a few rule updates, large advances in the story and so much more!

▵Site Changes & Updates
As a reminder, we want to encourage members to DM more for plots. Don't rely strictly on the plot mods unless you absolutely have to (for canon NPCs, for instance). Feel free to step up and DM for other people, that way the plot mods are not overstretched with the amount of work they need to do. To make up for this, though, we will more aggressively review plots to catch any cheating that may be going on.
We have two new mods the Staff would like to introduce.
First, @Cazar joined the Lore team as a Lore Mod! He will be assisting Malon with looking over lore articles, as well as handling the planet and species article submissions!
Secondly, @Dread took on a new job as a Community Mod! Her job is overseeing the production of our monthly newsletter, as well as continuing to help out in her capacity as a New Member's Mod.
In addition, SWRP Staff have decided to bring back a rule we had introduced last timeline but that got lost in translation during the move:
You may only have one character in a Main Faction council or above position. This means if you have a Sith Lord on the Dark Council, you may not have a Jedi on the Jedi Council, Hutt or Republic at the same capacity. You may also not attempt to become Faction Leader of multiple factions.
For indie factions, you may have a character that operates as a second in command or assistant Faction Leader, but you may not be the Faction Leader of an indie faction while also on the council of a main faction.
This rule is posted in Subsection K of Character Creation.

▵Important IC News
State of the Jedi Order
Even under the looming threat of the Sith Empire, the Jedi have marched on valiantly. They've rebuilt the temple on Tython and after it's construction voted Wyck to Grand Master of the order.
The Jedi have flourished under Wyck's leadership. He set out and successfully forged an alliance with Burnin Konn. Striking a deal to have their shipyards reactivated for the Jedi Order. On top of that, the Jedi Order gained access to three Ashla-class corvettes and the Konn-class cruiser was put into development
While they kept busy there was a small and sudden attack on the Iktotch temple. One that was snuffed out quickly when Wyck, Jon and many others arrived on the scene. The Jedi took no losses, obtaining a total victory.
However, their temple on Jedha was destroyed in a devastating bombardment from the Will of the Empress. An attack prompted by a wayward meeting between the Empress and Master Jon. Unfortunately, not too long after, Master Jon met his death during an attack on Spintir leaving another seat vacant on the Jedi High Council.
State of the Sith Empire
The Empresses young Empire expands rapidly. Many planets have fallen under it's control, committing men and resources to continue it's expansion and influence. From the shadows the Black Hand assassinated competition for a Sith friendly Manaan leader and aided Spectre in the assassination of the count of House Harlow.
In the midst of the feverish expansion, the Republic gained a new Supreme Chancellor. Andraste made time to speak with the man. At the end of the conversation she left the Republic with a warning about aiding the Jedi.
In order to reward and keep her people busy, Andraste started a Grand Imperial Gauntlet which gained much buzz and excitement. Though the event was successful the hunger among her Sith continued to grow. The Empire saw two challenges for seats on the council. One that resulted in Kalladrrl taking the War Masters seat. The other resulted in the deaths of both Darth Malos and Master Nayeli Aeron.
The unrest seemed to spread as a fight broke out between Sith in the Korriban Temple. A fight blessed by members of the council itself, though one that did not result in any deaths. Andraste summoned those involved that held higher ranks to put her foot down on infighting.
State of the Hutt Cartel
War has begun.
The Hutts officially attacked the Republic on Chandrilla. Though it resulted in a loss for them, it sent a decisive message to the Republic: the Hutts are coming.
Spectre, with the help of the Black Hand, assassinated the count of House Harlow, Albrecht Harlow. A retaliation for what happened to Queen Lucille.
Unfortunately the assassination resulted in Spectre's capture and interrogation.
State of the Republic
In light of Mori Valorum stepping down, the Republic voted a new Supreme Chancellor: Admiral Vincent Deryck. His passion for protecting the people of the Republic and his willingness to work with Senators, coupled with the overwhelming support from the military, propelled him to the spot. His discussions with the Empress after his election were rocky, but resulted in no hostile actions taking place.
With the ascension of the Admiral also came the defection and ascension of Senator Sarlo; taking his place as junior moff of Saleucami by order of the Sith Empress. An event that sent an uneasy message to the Republic peoples.
More unease spread when Queen Lucille was found to be the culprit behind the death of her mother and the last Queen of Alderaan, in addition to a testimony that indicated her relationship with the Cartel. The Republic acted on the news swiftly, launching an attack on the wayward Queen.
In addition to these shocking events, the Hutts officially attacked the Republic. This prompted a senate meeting resulting in a vote to go to war with the Hutt Cartel.
With strife on their own worlds and war on the horizon, the Republic has continued to bolster their army.
