Hundreds of years ago, Kiros was a remote colony in the expansion region. Togrutans had settled on the planet to produce art and culture, to be away from the war, and to enjoy a peace that they hoped to create. During the Clone Wars, its colonists were kidnapped and forced into slavery. Thankfully, they were rescued and continued to foster. Now under the Galactic Alliance, the Kirosians have maintained their identity. They honor the memory of the abduction the togrutans faced and the pain that it caused, peace, freedom, and restoration have became the core values of the people of Kiros with more settlers moved to the world. In addition, there were lush green lands, soft breezes, and moderate weather year round. The synergy of stable political infrastructure and natural aesthetic endorsed further Recently, the colony of Yona, one of the planet's settlements is also regarded for its high living standards. Within the main settlement, citizens access free healthcare to handle their physical and mental well-being. Clinics can also be seen near the rural settlements attached to Yona. Art festivals are held annually to showcase planetary and interplanetary artists. Access to other necessities such as food, water, housing, and education are also provided to ensure everyone has a high standard of living. Yona became a symbol of hope for those looking to start over.
But Kiros was on the border separating the Galactic Alliance and Dark Empire, facing threats of invasion so military presence increased on the planet. The regiment had split the planet into sectors assigned to adjutants to defend. Ysennia was designated the appropriately named Yona Sector. Her quarters was in the main settlement's security headquarters where she coordinated with local security forces. She had a direct line to the mayor of the settlement in case of an emergency in her office. Small outposts were littered across the sector running patrols between the rural settlements. Overall one of the best assignments to have in the Alliance. There wasn't a large predator population on the planet, no violent crime, and rarely any minor crimes. Even if there were minor crimes, it was usually handled by settlement security.
Ysennia was in her office going through the reports on her data pad. They were nothing to concern over which was annoying because the reports she were getting could be summed up to, "Nothing's happening." So the reports she sent to her CO were no different than what she was getting. She took a sip of her tea, locally grown and gifted from the settlement chief of security. Floral, sweet, and herbal. A very satisfying flavor profile. It took her out of the monotony of her routine, but was immediately startled by the holocommunicator beeping at her desk. She pressed the button to answer the call, one of the outposts was calling in.
"This is Outpost Resolute to Command. Come in command."
"This is Command, go ahead Resolute."
"A passenger liner was shot over the Neeran Valleys. Please advise."
She was shocked to her core, they'd been here for months and something was starting to go wrong. "Is it the empire?"
"We're unsure ma'am, but the projectile's source coming from the surface southeast of our position."
"Tell your squads to return to stay on high alert. I'll head over as soon as I can."
"Yes ma'am."
Just as the call ended, Ysennia made the call to other outpost commanders in the sector and informed them what happened. She set up a call between her commanding officer, a middle aged kel dor and the mayor of the settlement, an elderly togrutan.
"Major Lee. You have something to report?"
"Colonel Dorra, Mayor Yarish, one of my lieutenants reported that a passenger liner had just been by surface-to-air weaponry by the Neeran Valleys. I've already put the sector on high alert"
"Is it the empire?" The mayor asked concerningly.
"Not sure, I'll be going to investigate so I need to make sure we keep the settlement locked down and ground all air transportation. Yona Sector is a no-fly zone."
"Very well, I'll send the news to the other sectors. Should you need support we can dispatch reinforcements to your location."
"Yes, and you shall have my full support major. If there's anything you need me to do. I'll be sure to help however I can."
"I'll leave my XO to assist in defense of the settlement, send out a PSA and tell your people to stay out of the sky and out of the Neeran Valleys. I'll head out and check the crashed ship."
"It will be done major, may the force be with us."
Ysennia was preparing to set out to Outpost Resolute while the mayor had sent out a live broadcast from his office.
"Citizens of Yona, the settlement and the surrounding area is on lockdown. Remain in your homes and please cooperate with security and Galactic Alliance military personnel. Do not wander alone, make sure your doors are locked, and make sure your loved ones and neighbors are safe. A curfew will be set between 19:00 and 06:00 hours, to not wander outside your settlement bounds. We will post with updates when possible, in the meantime, follow all safety protocols and may the force be with us."
