Corporate News Network- Breaking News: Explosive Trial Leak Exposes Chancellor Alde's Dirty Dealings  

Coruscant, Galactic Core - In what is being called the most explosive record leak, insider sources from the legal defense team of Shady, Cheatham & Howe have revealed damning evidence in the ongoing Trial of the Century against Senator Levin Ty-lax and the now-dead Senator Valentinian Olingar. Among the revelations are audio recordings of the Chancellor, classified documents, and a shocking revelation about the alleged murder victim, Senator Dondurk Ardurk.

With Olinger dead, a massive trove of documents has been leaked to Corporate News Network… supposedly as part of his final Will and Testament!

Ardurk a Clone? The Secret Shaking the Republic  

Among the leaked records is evidence that suggests the body identified as Senator Ardurk was not the real Ardurk, but instead a genetically engineered clone. The records allegedly prove that both former Chancellor Solo and current Chancellor Genevieve Alde were aware of this fact long before the trial began in memos from the closed disclosure from Solo to Alde. Questions now arise: If Ardurk’s murder isn’t even real what is this show trial? Why was it brought to trial long after Chancellor Solo resigned? Is it part of a larger conspiracy?*

Leaked Audio: Chancellor Alde Caught Extorting Grand Companies, Threatening AXIS and Brentaal

In a shocking turn of events, a leaked recording from a private meeting between Chancellor Alde and The defendants has surfaced, revealing blatant extortion attempts, veiled threats against AXIS, and economic warfare against Brentaal. The transcript, filled with menacing insinuations, suggests that Alde attempted to coerce Senator Ty-lax into compliance in exchange for making the trial disappear:

[Voice of Chancellor Alde]

> *"For someone that loves their credits, you must be spending a fortune of it on these lawyers who seemed to not have advised you very well. Whether you come out of this unscathed or not is up to you and solely you... and I'll tell you the truth, Levin... [static]… I don't think you have the balls to kill anyone. Especially in that lounge of yours. Far too much money has been spent on that carpet for you to kill someone on it…."*

> *"Off the record, right? You are sorely mistaken, Senator. Let me tell you about the Axis... one snap of the fingers on my right hand and they cease to exist. One snap of the fingers on my left hand and Curovao has their worthless planets blocked in for years, begging me to undo what I've done. You think you pulled one over on me buying my wine, Senator? You think I didn't allow House Ulgo to sell that to you?"*

> *(Muffled paper shuffling)*

> *"Think again. Senator, if you want to go to court, by all means, let's go. But you have a chance to come out of this seen as a diplomat, someone able to work with both sides. If this goes to trial? I assure you, whether guilty or not, the hit pieces against you will not stop and there will never be a mother-in-law in your life to hurt you…"*

> *(More static)*

> *“Shall we talk sanctions? Here is a rough draft of some ideas.”*

Proposed Sanctions Targeting Grand Companies & Ty-lax Personally

Among the leaked documents is a list of extorted sanctions allegedly drafted by the Chancellor’s office in exchange for squashing the trial. They seem to serve the singular purpose of crippling the Grand Companies ability to do trade and defend themselves:

• Grand Companies-aligned ships will be banned from entering Corellian Hegemony space.
• Grand Companies-aligned ships will be banned from entering ARA-controlled space without express written approval from said planets.
• Denon is prohibited from purchasing, owning, or modifying military vessels for a period of two years. 
• Senator Ty-lax must issue a formal apology for defying orders during the Coruscant Crisis and not withdrawing Grand Company mercenary ships from the system immediately.
• Senator Ty-lax must apologise personally to Trell Ferring for the 'misunderstanding' that led to him being thrown out of a window.

The Death of Senator Olinger: A Convenient Coincidence?

The timing of the leaks is even more suspicious given the sudden death of Valentinian Olinger, who was co-defendant in the case alongside Ty-lax. Olinger, a shrewd operator with extensive knowledge of Senate backroom dealings, was found dead under mysterious circumstances, allegedly from poison. 

Given the revelations about Ardurk’s clone status and Alde’s apparent willingness to manipulate the courts, questions are now swirling about whether Olinger’s death was truly a coincidence—or the original assassins finally finding their mark.

Where Does This Leave the Trial?

With these leaks, the case's legitimacy is now in severe jeopardy. If Ardurk was but a clone, if Alde was engaged in blatant extortion, and if Olinger was clearly the target of assassins —what, exactly, is left of this so-called “Trial of the Century”?

Legal experts suggest this could result in a mistrial, dismissals, or even criminal charges for those involved in fabricating evidence or pushing the false version that the victim was the Coruscanti interim Senator. But one thing is clear: this case which had been dragging on is heating up on what is going on surrounding it!

We’re still working our way through these leaked documents so stay tuned to Corporate News Network for further updates as this unprecedented scandal unfolds.
