GEKTO III TAMED
Glo’tharius Smith (CPIN Anchor): Good evening, this is CPIN, and I’m Glo’tharius Smith. In a remarkable display of cooperation and achievement, the Chiss Ascendancy and the Galactic Empire have made significant strides in their mission to transform Gekto III into a thriving ecumenopolis. Operation Gold Giant, as it has been dubbed, has seen the successful clearing of bandits and dangerous creatures from the gas giant, alongside the laying of foundations for the planet’s city districts. Our reporter, Jael Thara, is on the ground to bring us the details.
Jael Thara (CPIN Local! Reporter): Thank you, Glo’tharius. It’s a momentous day here on Gekto III, where the collaboration between the Chiss Expeditionary Defense Fleet and the Imperial Emerald Task Force has culminated in a decisive victory. Over the past weeks, joint operations have not only eliminated threats from bandit activity but also established the groundwork for what is to become a massive urban environment. The commander of the Emerald Task Force, General Kara DuMonte, emphasized the importance of this mission.
General DuMonte: “We all know why we were here – We were called to assist our good allies in the Chiss Ascendancy help forge a new path for themselves after years of mishandling under the unsteady hand of the New Republic. With this stage of the Gas Giant now completed, they take another step towards forging their own destiny away from the hands of anyone else that would decide for them. We within Emerald are proud to have helped and aided them in this task and it is my personal desire to see that they flourish.
Jael Thara (CPIN Local! Reporter): The groundwork laid today marks the first step in a broader plan to reshape Gekto III into a bustling center of commerce and culture. As the sun sets on the horizon, we take you now to the ceremony to honor the heroic contributions of those involved in Operation Gold Giant. This event will include the presentation of the newly established Operational Valor Medal, recognizing the bravery exhibited by both Chiss and Imperial personnel throughout this mission. We now go live.
Grand Syndic Gliddon: “Warriors of the Chiss Ascendancy, esteemed guests from the Galactic Empire, and brave soldiers of the Emerald Task Force, today we stand united in triumph. On this day, Year 25 Day 336, we commemorate not just our accomplishments but the very spirit of cooperation that has driven us forward.
Four years ago, the Chiss emerged from the shadows of Republic terrorist oppression, and today we celebrate our growth and the fruits of our labor. The mission to transform Gekto III into an ecumenopolis is not merely about building cities; it’s about establishing a foundation for our economic security. With the unwavering support of Emperor Jai Meridian and the Imperial High Command, we are forging a path toward prosperity.
The Valor Medal given to those in service of Operation Gold Giant is a symbol of this progress, honoring those who have displayed exceptional commitment to our shared goals. Today, we will recognize the gallantry of our Chiss Warriors and the Imperial Emerald Task Force. As I call your name, please step forward.

With these medals, we acknowledge not just individual heroism but the shared commitment to a brighter future. Let us look forward to the days ahead with steadfast determination. Together, we will build more than cities, we will build a legacy. Thank you all for your hard work, your courage, and your unwavering dedication to our shared future.”
Jael Thara (CPIN Local! Reporter): The ceremony certainly was a demonstration of the growing strength of the Ascendancy and its strong relationship with the Empire. Gekto III is well on its way to becoming an economic driver for the Chiss people. Back to you, Glo’tharius.
