Story Spotlight
After Jedi @Clove Vanhoop and @Altair Din clashed on Dantooine, resulting in the latter's imprisonment after having felled while fighting Rebels, Altair was taken to a remote Jedi prison on New Alderaan. But that wasn't meant to last as angry Sith women (@Vex, @Tiamat, @Ashla Ti, @Aadya Rasheer, @Vahliri Kahtal) fought to release him against Jedi defenders (Clove Vanhoop, @Hlodovic Volsung, @Dimetri Unduli). Ultimately, the Jedi defenders were overwhelmed and Altair was released.
But the Sith weren't done with the green world...
Champion @Vahliri Kahtal and Acolyte @Soleil Altan launched the invasion against New Alderaan. The Sith brought their fleets and ground forces against the Jedi and Free Worlds aligned planet. The Sith duo fought Hloldovic and @Asena Zeev.
Meanwhile the Sith Master Assassin@Vizim had a gritty duel with Jedi Master @Crix Aran while attempting to sabotage the Jedi Temple. Elsewhere on New Alderaan, both sides fought hard to defeat the other.
The Sith were invading all over the world, although one battlefield stood out in their next major city, @Pedee lead Sith Droid forces in tadem with the Sith @Asher and @Ronan Carduel. Defenders would not go queitly, as in the way of the Sith's advance was the leader of the miltia forces was guardian class droid @X3R being supported by Jedi @Hailee Lightwood and @Eileen Van Alasdaire.
The Jedi Temple's defenders have fallen, Crix retreated against Vizim, leaving for Star Destroyers to wipe the Jedi temple from New Alderaan cleaning, leading for the Sith to impose control on the planet, although there is a resistance movement on the planet, fighters not wanting to submit with their Sith overlords.
Although @Fenyang at first showed that he was a capable Mand'alor, he disappeared quite some time ago. The Mandalorians on the rise wondered where he might have gone at first, but one person was determined not to let the Mandalorians stagnate again. One person would declare himself Mand'alor and have the deeds and skill to back it up.
His name was Clan Solus Alor @Nox Solus. On their war-torn ancestral homeland, Nox in a big rally declared himself to be leader of the Mandalorian people, Mand'alor.
"That is why I ask you to join me now, as your Mand'alor and take our fate into our own hands, rise on the spirit and legacy of our ancestors. No more moots, no more groveling, no more hiding! We rebuild all that has been laid to waste! We retake what has been stolen from us and we do so with such ferocity that they will hesitate upon the simple mention of a Mandalorian from this point on!"
The Mandalorians that have joined have collectively joined him. "Ner jibr par Mand'alor!" said by almost everyone else and has full support of everyone that joined. No naysayers, no challengers. Just total loyalty.

AMS continues to trend downward at phenomenal rate. Already in the minds of many galactic citizens AMS is no longer on anyone's thoughts or even a concern. There are still sizable pockets where the virus started spreading, but aside from that the galaxy has largely moved on.
Reminder: These hotspots are not the only traces of AMS in the galaxy but are the most notable ones. This is a reminder that AMS has spread through most of the galaxy from the Outer Rim to the Core Worlds.

The Jedi
The Jedi have many worlds that they have curried favor with even after they lost Dantooine. The Jedi still march strong, seeking to navigate the increasing chaotic galactic situation in their fight against the Sith. The Jedi aim to be a bulwark against the Sith, and have fended off a Sith invasion on the planet Ansion that was spearheaded by @Draugr, @Vex and @Vahliri Kahtal with the Jedi defenders @Caris Orlan, @Edaara Tonor, and @Tiberius Fenric beating the Sith back into a retreat. Right now, Jedi are negotiating with digintaries for the planet, looking to cash in their good will presumably.
Right now the Jedi are launching three large scale effort: First, the Jedi are looking to curry favor with Ithor, a planet that Jedi and Sith have clashed over quite some time ago.
The next two are driven by @Crix Aran. To build rapport with planets Ord Mantell and Corsin, both notable worlds especially in the case of the former being a renown trade world, and they are both situated in very strategic locations. The Jedi & Resistance are offering protection and they are aiming to back it up. The last of the three are a set of missions to facilitate the liberation of Ossus, a former Jedi world. No doubt a big and substantial task unto itself, they are expecting heavy resistance.

The Sith
After successfully debating against the Jedi Grandmaster, Sith Champion @Jaikus Altaris in his disguise as Wraith convinced Glee Anselm and Kril’Dor to diplomatically join with the Empire. This decision included allowing the Nautolans to assume political supremancy on the planet, and reports of a Holocaust against the land-dwelling Anselmi are flooding the Holonet.
In more festive news, a Sith gathering was hosted on Serenno.
Most notable and surpring of all, the Empress @Andruil retired from her throne of the Sith, and has placed Darth Anaris to take the reigns and throne as Sith Empress. This is shaking up the Sith Empire, people across the galaxy wonder what will onfold afterwards. Will Empress Anaris have a good reign, or will ambitious Sith seek to take her place?
Some Sith aren't wasting time taking initiative, as newly minted Sith Master @Vex has planned for the Rishi, Scariff, and what's left of Kamino to be brought into the fold and then another effort to get the Sith Fortress world of Thule and also Mirial.
In other gains, the SIth have obtained another foot hold into the Unknown Regions, the old homeworld of the Rakatans (Lehon or Rakata Prime). With it under Sith control, Castle Gaol was established with it being the foundation of the Imperial Detention Force with Vex as the warden.

Five Syndicates
Under the leadership of Ringleader @Terra Lanris, Crimson Dawn has made moves to annex Omega Station by taking control of the various local gangs and setting up fronts for legitimate business. Alongside @Astria Jerriko the Eclipse mercenary organization was brought into Crimson Dawn. Likewise @Juno Mars was instrumental in conquering the Blood Pack and the notorious assassin the Basilisk under his mercenary alter ego @Edin Frost assassinated the head of the Blue Stars in order to bring the final organization under Crimson Dawn's control.
The Syndicates have been quiet lately, although the Zann Consortium has faced a major setback as @Aden Archer led a mercenary starfighter wing notably includes @Helen Holcomb and @Zhaan Duran attacked the shipyards on Kowak despite the efforts of the defenders @Grace Zann, @Harleen, and @Tyr'din Selm. The end result were the defenders were defeated and driven to retreat while the mercenaries destroyed the shipyard with the payload of high explosive firepower they brought. Who put the raiders up to the task? It was an anonymous hit, but it's highly speculated it was a party that was wary of the Zann Consortium's growing empire.

The Mandalorians
The Mandalorians have been busy expanding their once more budding empire. The Mandalorians expansion strategy as of late is to take worlds of strategic value, namely ones that have some sort of industrial capabilities or other benifits instead of going for random systems.
They have successfully claimed some systems up in the galactic north in between the two clusters owned by the Sith, notably capturing the shadowport Borgo Prime along with some others.
Sullust has also been claimed by the Mandalorians, which will prove to be key in building up the Mandalorian fleet.
Nox Solus has also launched a Mid Rim campaign, aiming to take stragetic worlds that have fell from the Free Worlds, most notably Shu-Torun, the technocratic Verpine colony asteroids Roche, and the industrlialized planet Contruum. If this efforts pan out, this will be a huge boon for the Mandalorians.
In another event, Mandalorians lead by @Arthos Vizsla are now braving the AMS infested hellhole Utapau, completely and utterly ravaged by the virus. Most sentient beings would know not go there, but Mandalorians are up for the challenge. The mission to put it simply is to establish an outpost that would primarily be used as a training facility. Makes perfect senses because the infested planet has plenty of targets in the form of the infected.

Independent Systems Consortium
The Independent Systems Consortium has worked on increasing it's military power and succeeding spectacularly in that endeavor at that as the ISC has completed construction of it's first Dreadnaughts and new battlecruisers along with another deal with Blackwell Tech's CEO @Newton Arden that gives exclusive access to new cutting edge warships and droids all at a discount. ISC Secetary of Defense @Carrick is the man of the hour for the interview in which he spoke true and for negotiating with the Blackwell Executive. With the new ISC ships and the Blackwell deal, the ISC is now by far the most powerful of the three galactic senate governments, even stronger than the Republic. The ISC's naval power rivials the Sith's own, which is a huge accomplishment by itself.
In all the ISC continues to have a bright future ahead of it...
Free Worlds Alliance
To say the Free Worlds is in dire straights would be an understatement, with many members having left the coalition, it's now at a quarter of it's size. Not only that, with New Alderaan having been taken by the Sith the Free Worlds lost a major world put also it's shipyards the New Alderaanian Royal Engineers which had been supplying ships to Free Worlds.
Onderon is determined to fight the Sith as ever though, as it's Consul @Cassian Graves secretly enlisted the renown assassin @Basilisk to assassinate the Sith Warmaster Darth Staffros. As expected, Onderon got it's moneys worth as Staffros was assassinated and the Empress reacted to the announcement of the Warmaster's demise.
New Republic
With peace upon the New Republic and @Alexander Xerxes decisively having gotten their ships back from the Zann Consortium from 'shipgate' and leaving little room for manuevering in the matter, things are looking up in the Republic. Although not is all well, as during his meeting on Jakku with their representation and Queen-Mother of Hapes @Charlotte Le'Anna, instead it was interrupted when Imperial Remnant Star Destroyers rained fire on Jakku, killing many and even harming the Queen-Mother and the Chancellor.
The Chancellor didn't seem intent on let the Sith gathered power, despite exiling the Jedi from Republic space, he had a secret meeting with the Jedi Grandmaster @Alexandria Voran. The Chancellor offered a clandestine way for Jedi to get ships, although in the end it was refused.
