By way of the recently rebranded and relaunched [The Wroona Times] it was announced today that Sorosuub Transport Systems has developed a brand new hyperspace engine capable of powering a Corvette-class ship with a weapons layout not seen before on non-military classed ship. Marketed as the Free Virgillia-class Bunkerbuster this ship is a direction change for the weapons and ship manufacturing company with the company opting to focus on power output verses their hallmark ship speed breakthroughs. Early field test footage has shown it capable of carring an impressive weapons loadout capable of destroying a small moon. When reached out for comment STS Engineer Nellusha of Kashyyyk had the following to say, "[translation from Shyriiwook unavailable]" &d In related news both Sorosuub Corporation and STS have jointly announced they would be closing a few shared subsidiaries. Firstly circuit board company Brandis Tech and what remains of the holonet presence of the once popular The Wroona Observer. The business relationship between Royal Naboo Engineers and STS has also appeared to have ended despite the previously reported success of the joint N-1 Starfighter co-development. Rumors of rising planetary atmospheric anomolies being the primary source behind the soured relationship and the heated legal battle between the two firms which was filed just two weeks ago. The case is expected to be heard in the courts sometime in the next five years.&d
Alethia Zitan, Senator of Coruscant, Retires
After a very lengthy service to the Republic, both as Scientist, Senator of Coruscant and finally Vice Chancellor, it is with the utmost sadness that the office of Alethia Ziton has announced her abrupt and sudden retirement, citing a severe incapacitating health condition. Aide's to Alethia have confirmed that she may return to the galactic scene in time, but that time is needed to focus on healing and that she cannot devote the necessary time to the Republic and citizens that she so loves. When holo'd for questioning, this is the Senator's response "I'd like to thank you all for working with me, for loving me and loving this Republic with me. I've developed a severe condition of the stomach and will be retiring, effective immediately. My doctor requires me to take some time off working so that I can attempt to recover. It breaks my heart to leave like this, but it's the only way I can for now. May the Force be with you."
