Reports across the galaxy are pulsating through the holonet after news of Commander-in-Chief Francine Ulgo's death near Selvaris. The New Republic Viscount flagship, Spirit of Alderaan, was obliterated along with a portion of the First Fleet. Thousands are reported dead and no survivors are expected to be recovered from the debris field.
Implicated in the surprise attack are the rogue Mandalorian faction Dor'to, a highly belligerent pirate sect based on a migrant fleet. This identification was formulated from intelligence reports and specific Mandalorian markings found in the wreckage. No demands or statements were issued by Dor'to; specialists agree the evidence of Dor'to involvement indicates that the attack was a form of territorial warning rather than an attempt at extortion.
Minister of the Galactic Union Borsk Fey'lya offered his condolences on behalf of the Ministerium, assuring the galaxy that the aggressors would be brought to justice by a joint task force.
This news comes as rumors of an explosion and assassination attempt continue to circulate from the Imperial capital world of Bastion. The Moff Council, the highest cabinet in the Empire, deny these reports, although fringe theorists postulate that perhaps the Dor'to Mandalorians are fueling a wider anti-Union initiative. Professional Imperial analysts in the Corellian Empire declare jointly that there is no reason to believe an attack on the Empire has occurred.
Ulgo, 45, was a survivor of Alderaan and had occupied the position of Commander-in-Chief for some years. Posthumously, she has been awarded the Medal of the Silver Phoenix, the third highest Republican honor. A replacement has not yet been announced.

Please note the attackers are in reality members of the True Empire, but only characters within the True Empire currently know this. All communication during the attack was jammed and no indication of the true attackers was sent back to the galaxy at large. _________________
