I’m Gyro Nein reporting for HNN.
A few hours ago an official report was released confirming the assassination of Supreme Chancellor Aiden Baoont. He was due to make a live announcement regarding the attacks on the Outer Rim earlier today but it was postponed for undisclosed reasons. According to the statements from the Senatorial department and preliminary investigative reports he was killed briefly before he was due to make his announcement.
It is a sad day for the Republic, with the recent losses on the Outer Rim many were looking to the Supreme Chancellor in this time of need, and whilst no statement has been made regarding the motive for this killing, many believe that it is linked with the recent attacks from the Sith Empire, who have declined any knowledge regarding this attack. In fact, no group has stepped forward in relation to this attack.
A little while ago we received reports from a number of anonymous sources along with a security recording. The video shows what appears to be a Jedi Knight leaving the Chancellor’s office before deactivating his lightsaber. Witnesses have confirmed that a ‘man dressed in brown robes who carried a blue glowing blade’ could be seen leaving the office. They have also stated that the injuries upon the Supreme Chancellor were consistent with a lightsaber, although confirmation or denial of this fact have yet to be given by any official source.
Whilst none of this is as of yet confirmed we will make sure to update you in regards to this latest report as soon as we can.
Aiden Baoont was one of the youngest recorded Supreme Chancellors in the Republic records. Loved by the people for his hard work and dedication in these tough times we are led to wonder why someone would kill the man who swore to bring everlasting peace and prosperity to the Republic. Our condolences go out to his family and friends. The Republic will mourn this day as the loss of an inspiring leader.
