Naboo Annexed by Trade Federation, Political Families Assassinated
[-Theed Royal News-] [URGENT NEWS BULLETIN] The view opens to a full fleet of Trade Federation capital ships opening fire on Naboo's orbital defense cruiser as viewed from the ground. Flashes of light come from both sides of the battle, but it is eerily silent thanks to the camera's position on the ground, zoomed in from great distance. A panicked reporter is then shown standing in front of one of Naboo's elegant plazas. A crowd of residents run by, nearly knocking her over, but she regains her composure and says shakily, "Naboo is under attack! I repeat, Naboo is under attack! Just moments ago, the Trade Federation appeared with a full fleet and announced the annexation of the planet! Local defense forces are coordinating a response, but we will have more on this situation as-" A large explosion is heard nearby, and the feed turns to static. ... A shaky camera shows a full battalion of Trade Federation battle droids marching in unison down Pergola Way on Theed from an angle overhead, perhaps from inside a building. At the head of the battalion are a Vurk, a Feeorin female, and a Gamorrean. A hushed voice whispers into the camera, "Here on the ground, Trade Federation forces have swiftly taken control of the city. They are marching for the palace as we speak. Defense forces have been overwhelmed and have fallen back to the palace where they will make their last stand against this sudden invasion." A commotion is heard behind the camera and the feed quickly cuts out. ... The same reporter's voice is heard, a growing sense of unease in it now. There is no video feed, only audio played to a rotating image of the planet Naboo. "Our queen, Jecid Dannaa, has been captured. The palace, overrun. One of our contacts saw the Viceroy of the Federation leading the Queen as her prisoner onto a vessel, then leaving the system. Other members of Naboo's elective aristocracy residing in Theed have been placed under house arrest, and citizens ordered to stay off the streets. It's been... I can't..." Abruptly, the feed cuts out again. ... Screams are heard in the distance. Shaky camera footage partially obscured by greenery shows a well-dressed young adult running out of a large home's foyer. A battle droid emerges from the foyer. "Roger roger. Executing execution orders," it states monotonically before opening fire. Whispering is heard, perhaps the same reporter as in previous broadcasts. "They've executed every member of every aristocratic house in Theed. Politicians, family members, children. Our entire system of government is... " The voice becomes quiet as a clanking noise grows louder. A single blaster shot is heard, the camera falls to the ground, and the transmission ends.

Ithor Accepted into Galactic Republic
Several days ago... [Ithorian News Agency] The great Ithorian Herdship Cities are returning from their positions across the galaxy to join their counterparts anchored on Ithor for the Time of Meeting. Held every three years and presided over by the current High Priestess Vonnuvi Tanaab, this gathering of the priests of each herd serves as a rare opportunity for the traditionally autonomous and self-sufficient city populations to discuss the status of the Ithorian people as a whole. The Great Meet is expected to last for several days, and the topics to be discussed are kept closely guarded by the priests until its conclusion. Yesterday, broadcast from Coruscant... Chancellor Azaro Darminiel stands with a pleasant smile in front of the planetary flags of the Galactic Republic. "Greetings to all my fellow citizensof the Republic, new and old alike. Times are dark, and the Galaxy has once again been thrown into conflict by the Sith. Through this darkness, I am honored to shine a glimmer of light. Yesterday, I met with High Priestess Vonnuvi of Ithor. During their Time of Meeting, they reaffirmed their belief that peace, knowledge, and the rights of individuals are worth protecting. This lesson was never more clear than when the cowardly pirate Lissia, a known agent of the Trade Federation, callously slew hundreds of our peaceful Ithorian friends. We of the Republic cannot accept such a strike against life, and have worked tirelessly to bring justice. From this day forward, the Ottega System is a protected member of the Republic. In the wake of this tragedy, we are happily reminded of the value of friendship and rebirth. We are bolstered by their courage and eager to share in their wisdom." Chancellor Azaro's face grows firm. "This war is not a question of fighting the Federation, but to save the whole galaxy from the plague of tyranny and thoughtless destruction demonstrated by the Sith Order for more than a century. It is this moral imperative that holds us steadfast. We will not be destroyed. We will continue rising in defense of our dear liberties, and welcome any world or being willing to do the same." The feed cuts to a grandmotherly Ithorian in scarlet ceremonial robes standing in the Senate's Great Hall. "Ithorians are a quiet, peaceful people, but our lack of self-sufficiency has been highlighted by the recent despicable terrorist act inflicted upon our world. As a result, we are honored to have been accepted as a member world of the Galactic Republic. This was not an easy decision in light of the current war, but we remain focused on a shared commitment to the giving of knowledge and the security of our own people and the Galaxy as a whole."

Recent Changes

Original Fighter Passenger Capacity
When setting up a new fighter, we realized that the original two fighters being manufactured this era could incorrectly fit an infinite number of people. This wasn't intended; fighters are meant to always be limited to a small number of passengers. This is important, among other reasons, to distinguish transports from fighters. All the existing fighters all been adjusted to fit two people.

Blockade Changes
After some extensive discussion in the #ideas channel and internal staff planning, we've made some changes to blockade. The biggest change is that you can now eject if you're closer to the planet than any ships blockading it. "Ships blockading it" here include any ship corvette or larger with a member of the clan who started the blockade onboard. For example, I am in a fighter 200 units from the planet. My opponent is blockading in a cruiser 500 units from the planet. I can still eject. If I drift to 500 units or more, I will no longer be able to eject. If the blockader is in orbit, it applies to all ships, since ties are given to the blockader. In practice, this has the biggest impact on "blockade sniping", a tactic where someone jumps in with a cruiser, blockades the planet, and then shoots down a target. Now, as long as that target is closer to the planet, autoeject will kick in. We understand this is an impactful change. It's something we put a lot of thought into and took player input into account when deciding on it. In fact, credit for this particular mechanic change goes to Nield. We think it improves gameplay to require someone trying to shoot someone down to put some skin in the game by, for example, getting into orbit of the planet they want to watch. If it's a planet guarded by enemy clan capital ships, this will be pretty difficult, making travel safer if you're sticking to your own clan's planets during a war. Other changes here are: - You can now eject from public taxis even when a threat isn't present. - When a blockade begins or ends, all ships in the system will get an immediate notification about it. - You can no longer begin a blockade with 'leadplanet blockade' when you have no clan members on applicable ships above it. - Added missing clan-wide notifications when blockades are started or ended with 'leadplanet blockade', or when they end after the last clan member leaves the system. - When trying to eject during a blockade, you'll now be told why you couldn't eject. - The applicable range of the blockade is now shown when looking in the system, like "Lorrd (Blockaded past 500 units)" - When looking on a landing pad of a blockaded planet, you'll see the list of ships blockading it.
