Two sides to every story

Last night at approximately 20:45 local time on the planet Tollagoth in the Aline system, Mandalore mercenaries moved in under the cover of darkness towards a B'omarr-run children's orphanage carved into the rocks of Tollagoth. Although an official number has not been released by the Intergalactic B'omarr Monastary, casualties are thought to near 5 dozen children and caretakers massacred in a space of approximately twenty minutes.

The original inquiry by Tollagoth authorities is expected to condemn those behind the attack that immolated dozens of children and caretakers, as infringing on crucial issues such as the nation-state sovereignty of Arakki and the long-time relationship between the B'omarr charities and Tollagoth government. A formal complaint had been lodged early this morning by a representative of Arakkian Orphanages who was not in the facility at the time of the assault.

Despite a storm of public controversy, General Drayer has defended his group's actions, claiming that there were sufficient intelligence reports to link Arakkian Orphanages with the Eidola pirate band operating in the deep core. As there has been no public evidence that Arakkian Orphanages had any hand in the recent raids against Imperial-held planets in the deep Core, many are claiming that Mandalore's employers had reasons they refuse to discuss, for wanting to see the B'omarr infrastructure demolished.
