[Tatoo News Service]: [*] Breaking News [*]
The image of a young man, dressed in a simple work suit appears. He is standing
in the middle of a street, with sandy winds blowing about him and his face
protected by a darkened visor, presumedly to keep the sand out. He begins
speaking in a deep, firm voice, attempting to shout over the wind, `Over the
last few days a heated debate over the bill of secession from the Republic has
been running in the Tatooine Parliament House, after Representative Franklin
Keyes of the Mos Espa District proposed the controversial bill.`


[Tatoo News Service]: [*] The shot changes to a view of the Parliament building
but the reporter continues speaking over the image [*] `It seems many of the
Parliament's inital concerns were well-founded however, when in a unprecedented
move, Chancellor Shademehr Shirak outcasted Senator Plog Magre, the appointed
Speaker of the Tatoo system from the Republic. The Tatooine Liberation Front
has taken this as an opportunity to gain more followers, as in recent days
there have been rumors of an upcoming strike by the revolutionary group.`

[Tatoo News Service]: The image returns once more to the man, `One citizen I
spoke to had this to say 'The Republic have been trying to protect us from
Fangs... But maybe he actually will go once they've left? ' Another was not so
optimistic 'If the Republic thinks the person we elected to represent us is not
good enough for them, then they're not good enough for US.' While the debate
rages on, armed mobs of vigilantes have been forming to combat the ever
increasing crime problems. Some of these groups appear to be affiliated with
the Liberation Front and are even challenging Republican forces in the region.
Other rumors persist of the involvement of a third party source of funds for
these mobs as well...` [*] The man nods his head promptly and smiles slightly
to the camera [*] `This is Gregory Alisto, reporting live from Tatooine for
the Tatoo News Service.`
