After weeks of terrorizing FWA planets, and bombarding both Taanab and Commenor, the FWA announced today that the 5th Fleet is no more. A decisive fleet battle above the burning planet of Commenor resulted in the destruction of the Freedom and the entirety of the 5th Fleet. A combined response from Kashyyyk, Dosh, Kuat, and Fondor smashed the former Supreme Chancellor's personal fleet. The New Republic's involvement in the battle comes after the Senate removed Xerxes from office and moved to take the former Supreme Chancellor into custody.
"The FWA thanks the the New Republic planets who saw through the lies of the former Supreme Chancellor and stood with us today against the Joined 5th Fleet" Aezzairrfhowrrhudrrl said, in a statement delivered from the bridge of the Kashyyyk. "The safety and security of our planets and people continues to be our highest priority; especially where the Kiliks are concerned." The response from the war-weary FWA had been nothing short of enthusiastic, with ships from dozens of planets answering the Wookiee's call; making the operation a military and a PR success.
The battle was won, but the war was not over yet. "The events of these past few weeks- in which the highest office and mightiest fleet of the New Republic were Joined- clearly illustrate the critical need for the galaxy to come together again and eradicate the Kiliks" Aezzairrfhowrrhudrrl continued. With the uncertain direction of the Empire following the military coup there, the New Republic reeling from the fallout of the Chancellor's moves, the FWA mourning the bombardment of two planets, and the ISC facing a wave of secessionist fever, they could ill afford to allow the kiliks to regain their strength while the governments of the galaxy licked their wounds. The galaxy had already been distracted by petty squabbles before, but with the Sith's banishment from the Empire, perhaps a new opportunity had presented itself.
"I hereby call upon the galaxy to once again renew our treaty and commitment to defeating the Kiliks. We must combine our intelligence and resources in search of the Kilik leadership, and continue to work towards a safeguard against joining. Only our combined efforts will give us a chance to end the Kilik threat once and for all." It was not the first time that Aezzairrfhowrrhudrrl had made such a plea, but he hoped that it might be the last.
