Earlier today, the Republic Central Command released a statement regarding the capture of Hutt Grand Admiral Poknor Tiwsferum. Through a combined effort of three Jedi and a squad of Special Forces, who will not be named to protect their safety, the Grand Admiral was cornered and captured on an unspecified world outside of Republic Space.

Utilizing a pair of old but highly capable Sviet-class gunships, provided by Mohatu Transport Services, our Special Forces were able to surround and swiftly defeat the Grand Admiral's personal guards without any considerable difficulty. No Republic casualties have been reported, while the death toll on the Hutt Side is over a dozen of their so-called 'elite guard', whom one of the Jedi, a Cathar Female, described as 'elite roadbumps.'

Admiral Tiwsferum has been transported to an unspecified ultramax security compound deep within Republic Space. The Grand Admiral has, reportedly, provided a considerable amount of valuable intelligence on Hutt naval forces and their strengths and weaknesses. However, his willingness to co-operate has done him little good - CENCOM has stated that he is a war criminal and will stand trial for dozens of assorted crimes. While they are being vague about many of these charges, they did make it clear that he is being charged with mass murder, and thus it is likely that Admiral Tiwsferum will be executed by hanging at the conclusion of his trial.

In other news, CENCOM wishes to remind all Republic Citizens to be wary, to be suspicious, and to report all potential Hutt activity to the nearest security station. Remember, silence kills - your information could save lives. Speak up, speak out; it could be the difference between victory or enslavement by the Hutts!


[Discuss. And yes, Viggy's char was in a thread where Rep. SpecOps was poised to capture him. He has given permission for us to assume that we were able to successfully capture his character, along with a list of valuable information that Poknor would have given up.]

We'll have a better idea of what kind of Forces the Hutts can bring to bear, what types of ships/fighters they have, location and distribution of fleets, etc etc. Basically all the stuff they don't want us to know. >:3

Excellent Work!

Sidenote: Isn't a hanging a bit barbaric and primitive for both Star Wars and the Republic?

I could go back to option A, which was 'Burn at the stake'. :CHappy

This is an era where hanging for the Republic isn't that out of the question. I like to think of this era as being where the idealistic and utopian notions of the Republic's founders slipped away a bit and the galaxy grew a bit darker because of it.

Can't we just stick to a blaster fire squad so that it isn't so out of date?

Your primary char is a 20-something year old with hair whiter than my 70 year old grandpa. You don't qualify to have an opinion, so shush or I burn you too.

What exactly did Poknor do as a war crime? Unless he was involved in any atrocities on Bothawui or involved in the planning of the terrorist attacks, I can't recall him doing anything particularly atrocious aside from simply opposing the Republic.

He tortured at least one of Jiang's characters, which I imagine implies that he enjoyed torturing most of the prisoners he took personal interest in.
