In a sweeping and controversial move, the ISC President has halted all bacta and kolto trade from going into Imperial space. With the ISC having control of both Thyferra and Manaan, this is a critical blow to the Empire that will cause a massive crisis across their worlds as their soldiers are thrown into war. The blockade over Bespin has also denied the Sith critical tibanna access.

While Imperials are in uproar, much of the galaxy favors the move. Several worlds have begun to hunker down on their sanctions against the Sith, a motion passed by the Galactic Senate that has since become optional. Because enforcing sanctions does not violate ceasefires, Alliance and New Republic worlds alike are free to deny trade and assets to Imperial space.

The kolto and bacta crisis is one that will not only impact Imperial soldiers, but also their citizens. There will be major protests and public outcry from the populations that seek to defect from the Sith or call for a surrender.

In Sith territory, all HoloNet news — even "live" HoloNet news — ran on a slightly delay to give the ISB time to review its content. The recent announcements were no different. Monitoring the channels from her office, Val saw the reports come in.

Her brow raised.

President Emryc Thorne was a better game player than she had anticipated. A worthy foe. If this news were to leak out to the masses, it would be chaos on recently conquered worlds. And chaos was something Val Vartha could not abide. So, she did what she was trained to do.

She blocked the signal to the recent announcements, preventing them from airing on HoloNet channels and dataphones across the Empire. "Make sure we're blocking reposts of any articles reporting this content, as well," she commanded the agents under her. "And get a recommendation out to headquarters on Serenno that it is advisable that we increase military presence on recently conquered worlds while providing counter programming with internal news sources. Arrests and discrediting are recommended for anyone who disseminates this information to the public." She crossed her hands behind her back. "We are the ISB. We are the firewall that insures the continued stability of the Empire. Nothing slips through."
