Featuring popular galactic games such as \u2018whack-a-stormtrooper\u2019 and \u2018pin the tail on the pit droid\u2019, the festival has already become a firm favorite with new residents, as well as tourists to the idyllic system which is under the safety and security of both alliance and neutral organizations. <\/p>\n<p>Unusually, the event has also found fame with some of the more unsavory characters in the Galaxy. Unpredictable as always, the so-called Shadow Dominion is said to have descended upon Arvala-6 en masse, quickly depleting the local supplies of \u2018jupoberry floss\u2019, a sweet cloud-like confectionary made using fruit native to Arvala-3.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/swc-the-resistance.com\/tools\/gnsgen\/images\/completed\/tr\/20240528173249_299.png\" alt=\"20240528173249_299.png\"><\/p>\n<p>Local residents report seeing none other than Ximaro Jix, \u2018giggling with glee\u2019 as he rode the largest carousel wheel in the southern Outer Rim. The impressive Sullust Strangler\u2019 is over 50 meters high and has recorded up to +1.2G exerted on the sentient body in transit. When pressed for comment, the inebriated Jix had this to say: <i>\u201cEverybody is fun, Zann just pretends to be otherwise.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>The first day\u2019s festivities concluded with a drone-shooting competition, with scuttled satellites being used as target practice for a variety of budding young pilots. A disappointment for many, critically acclaimed fan-favorites, Linkin Bark, were forced to pull out of a live show at the last minute due to recent events in Bright Jewel &#8211; instead being replaced by local cover band, Linkin Bork. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/swc-the-resistance.com\/tools\/gnsgen\/images\/completed\/tr\/20240528183650_299.png\" alt=\"20240528183650_299.png\"><\/p>\n<p>The show\u2019s climax was a spectacle to behold, with the crowd hanging on every word of the star-struck stand-ins.<\/p>\n<p><i>\u2019Zann tried so hard, and came so far\u2019<i><br \/>\n<i>\u2018In the end, they didn\u2019t even matter\u2026\u2019<\/i><\/p>\n<p><\/i><\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/center><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Resistance News Network (Arvala) \u2013 Residents of the newly colonized Arvala system gathered on Arvala-6 today to begin a weeklong&#8230; <\/p>\n<div class=\"art-el-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ordcantrell.com\/index.php\/2024\/05\/28\/welcome-to-arvala\/\" class=\"art-link art-color-link art-w-chevron\">Read more<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":258,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[38],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ordcantrell.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1364"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ordcantrell.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ordcantrell.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ordcantrell.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ordcantrell.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1364"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ordcantrell.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1364\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ordcantrell.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/258"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ordcantrell.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1364"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ordcantrell.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1364"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ordcantrell.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1364"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
