Reydovan Chancellor Joshua Underwood was arrested by the Emperor himself on March 23 and taken prisoner aboard the Imperial flagship Absolution IV. He entered the Council chambers covered in blood almost a month later, having killed the guards and escaped to the shuttlebay. Reydovan Prime itself is in a state of war as Imperial and Republic troops are going head to head across the planet. The Emperor currently has the upper hand at the moment, but the Republic may manage to win in the end.
