KILLIK CURE CHAOS: Scientist ‘drunk on air’ as cure called into question.

Scientist Mikk Zappal, allegedly the brains behind the ‘cure’ for the Killik joiner serum, has been roundly mocked after he appeared drunk on air this week. In a bizarre interview, Mr. Zappal denied his involvement in the creation of the serum, rambling on about

The interview, which was conducted by the Galaxy News Network, lasted an entire segment, during which time the 'famed scientist' rambled incoherently, seemingly distancing himself from the recent killik cure news.

Experts have been quick to slam the scientist, with Professor Halfrunt saying the scientist 'has undermined the entire cure. How can we be sure of its effects now?'. And he’s not the only medical professional to take up arms against the ‘cure’, with Dr. M. Pootla stating ‘The actions of this one rogue scientist undermine a whole swathe of our profession.’

The question remains: Does the cure work?

Here at the Herald we’ll continue to hold the torch to that question, as we dig deeper into whether or not the so-called Killik cure is safe for public use.



Knights in shining armour? Imperials leap to the rescue.

  • Disaster strikes at a popular festival when the 'Tower of Terror’ ride collapses.
  • Figures later confirmed to be ‘Imperial Knights’ step in, saving many lives.
  • Jedi ‘nowhere to be seen’, as the Empire has to step up in their absence.

A large annual festival was the site of an averted tragedy this week, when the popular ‘Tower of Terror’ ride collapsed.

Large numbers of holiday makers, many of whom were children, could have lost their lives had it not been for mysterious figures, which the Herald can now reveal where members of the ‘Imperial Knights’.
Double Whammy! Knights save the day again, as corrupt official falls.

In what has been a busy period for the new kids on the block, the Imperial Knights leapt to the rescue of the innocent again, this time saving locals from a corrupt government official.

Was this a case of ‘right place, right time’ or are the Imperial Knights on a bit of a winning streak?

This time around, rather than saving innocents from a disaster not of peoples making, the Imperial Knights stepped in to stop a corrupt Government official taking our an elected City Council.

Here at the Herald we were tipped off that the Knights, having uncovered evidence of corruption, then had to leap into action to save the local council, after the guilty party sought to knock them off kilter for his own crimes.

Stepping in to save the collapsing ride from complete failure, the Imperial Knights used their mystical arts to prevent the loss of many innocent lives.

Meanwhile, the Jedi were nowhere to be seen.

Onlookers feared the Jedi had been the ones to respond, when the mysterious figures first arrived stating she ‘feared for the safety of [her] children’ and was worried the ‘jedi would take [her] son away’.
However, her fears were quickly laid to rest when it transpired that it was actually the Imperial Knights, a relatively new faction to the galactic force-user scene.

Without the considerable baggage of the Jedi Order, onlookers could rest safe in the knowledge that the Knights were, truly, here to help.

Are the Imperial Knights filling the void left by the once-peaceful Jedi? Could it be possible that the Imperial Knights will fill the gap in the market crested by the Jedis move away from a peacekeeping force, for a religious fanatic organisation?

Well, we'll keep you informed.

Imperial Commander Arrested on Serreno as Power Struggle Escalates

In a rare occurrence of imperial disputes erupting into the public domain, a senior imperial officer has been detained in the key world of Serenno. The planet, which shares strong ties to the Imperial political establishment, saw one of its senior nobles take the unprecedented action to order the officere to be arrested earlier this week.

It comes after numerous upsets in the Imperial establishment, starting with the attack in the Imperial Knights fortress on Raxus, and the subsequent disappearance of their Lord-Commander.

Imperial authorities did not offer comment on the ongoing allegations of power struggles in the Empire.

Commander Karn, who has been identified as the man detained by Serenno police, has not been able to comment for this paper. The illusive man, who is believed to be a senior figure within the Imperial peacekeeper force, is understood to be being charged for the murder of a local Noble.
