The Orian Frequency is a pirate broadcast station located at an unknown location in the Orian System. Run from a cramped, noisy studio in the system. The Host of the show, an individual who has referred to themselves only as "Chelch", does not appear to any particular political ideology, balking against any authority. The program, having started in 37 ABY, has actively snarked against the Collective peacekeeping forces in the system.

Some officials have even accused the station of inciting unnecessary rebellion within the system.

When this was brought to the host's attention, he chuckled.

The Program


"Do you like our program? Have you any suggestions for stories or segments to be featured on our broadcasts? We want to hear what you have to say, Orian! Let your voices be heard, over tyrants, gods or kings; but let it be heard on the Orian Frequency."
―The Host, on the Orian Frequency

Presentation

The earliest programs of the Orian Frequency were little more than simple opinion pieces on local politics or economics. The host was a slightly flat, and unenthusiastic broadcaster at first. It wasn't until the Collective started to enforce additional laws and structure down upon the populace that the program began to take a turn. The host, once bored, appeared to take some enjoyment out of the idea of stirring up trouble with the government. The Host and his staff worked to counteract the Collective's propaganda, and some even accused his people of leaking information to individuals who would pass the intelligence along to the wandering Sadowan fleet.

The Format

The typical format of an Orian Frequency is not uniform, but it can be guaranteed to include at least a few simple elements. For one, the local news and gossip are typically reviewed by the Host. If you didn't hear it on the Orian Frequency, chances are it isn't worth knowing. A review of any military operations the Host just might have noticed will also be shared with the listening public. The rest may cover a variety of subjects, covering known Dark Jedi Brotherhood's inter-Clan drama, celebrity dating, Life Day recipes, the winning lottery numbers for the evening, the losing lottery numbers for the evening, sports scores, local history, galactic history, obscure history, legends, tales, folklore or even just plain old opinion pieces on subjects both great and small.

The Host

The host is a mystery, wrapped in an enigma, wrapped in something even more cliche. What I can tell you, is that being is presumed a man or man-like being. I can tell you that the host has desires, and passions, and dreams just like any of you. Yet the Host sets aside his own desires in order that he might bring you all the truth, that is out there. Are we the architects of our own doom, or can we turn the fates around? Is the Force the only and greatest force out there? Are we alone in our galaxy? I know some speak of aliens from outside the galaxy, but can we trust those reports. And where do those crop circles on Dantooine come from? How many people have disappeared from Coruscant, being the victims of "murder" or other foul play? What else is there, that we do not see in our day to day lives?

Answer these questions, and perhaps the Host will show his own hand.

The HIstory of the Frequency

37 ABY; The Collective Take Root in Orian

Of course, the Host refuses to even acknowledge the possibility. He did caution his law enforcement interrogators that such an action would be terribly illegal, before refusing to cooperate without a legally issued warrant. The Host was not taken into police custody, but instead was detained until such time as a second officer could be sent to fetch the malcontent. This detainment was cut short when an explosion rocked the commercial district where the studio was located. The studio where the Host was being held collapsed in on itself. When the rubble was sorted through, the injured officer was found, but the Host's body was never retrieved.

38 ABY, Pirate Broadcasts Begin

The death of the broadcast was like honey to the politicians who had seized upon the Collective occupation as a path to power. Some, the host mused, had likely taken untold mirth in knowing that they had silenced the Host. The Host had other plans. When the time came to die, the Host simply took his leave of the place. Death was not to be argued with, but death was to be bargained with. After all, the Host figured, what is a couple decades or torment for a chance to stick it to the wicked?

Rumors abounded when the next iteration of the Orian Frequency came to light. Unlike the publicly accessible station used before, the earliest of the second studios was set upon an old, unmarked freighter. The presence of the Host was not enjoyable for the Collective masters, however. Though the majority of the Collective naval assets parked in the Orian system were pulled off to other positions or maneuvers, those who remained sought the end of the Frequency. It was a moment for the Host and his merry crew to hide away in the darkest recesses of the system. For that matter, the Host and his fellows had quite the laugh when they claimed to transmit by bouncing signals from Gamuslag and the Collective peacekeepers sent their own men to apprehend the Host.

This caused the Host to chuckle.

The New Orian Frequency Lives

Hidden away where the Collective will not find him, your oh-so-kind Host has been keeping abreast of all the happenings throughout our wonderful system. And see, the Host has also been using the Holonet transmitters to boost his own signal. This means that your kind Host has eyes throughout the system, throughout the sector and throughout the stars. The Host may or may not also possess some slicing skills of repute which make the job of spreading his message through the galaxy like a virus that much easier. Perhaps he has even taken to breaking into Brotherhood assets, like his own entry in the Holocron Library.

But who knows, dear listener? Though, you can be certain of one thing. You heard it first, on the Orian Frequency.

Subjects Covered

Current Events

The most current subjects of the Orian Frequency have covered the continued reign of the Clan Consul of the Orian System. Often, the program intends to give an expose on the truth behind the happenings in the system. The intent is that true liberty will eventually come to the citizenship and that a cult of '[starwars:Force Sensitive|Force-users]' won't lord their natural and unnatural talents against that of the common man. These subjects are not the only coverage of the program, but are most certainly the core focus of the production crew.

Past Subjects

Chaos In the Orian System (38 ABY)

'The Chaos in the Orian System (38 ABY)' --- The presence of Clan Naga Sadow could not go unseen forever during the events chronicled by Sadowan sources as Redemption and Honor. The Host of the Orian Frequency has taken a keen interest in seeing the Collective get their teeth kicked in by Sadowan guerrillas He also presents his theory about the dangers of leadership and by extension, pride. The fall of Exegol is also mentioned very briefly in that first broadcast of the year. This was also the first broadcast of the 'new' Orian Frequency.

Ghosts In the Ether (39 ABY)

'Ghosts In the Ether' (38 ABY' --- This broadcast touched upon the announcement that the Sadowans had been in control of the system all these years. Criticism was lobbed at Bentre Stahoes and the rule of the government and other issues that followed the competition 'Winter in Orian' and preceded the events of 'The Unchained Malady'. In this report things like new restrictions, the rise in the price of commodities and general unrest. Also notable in that it included the sighting of various members of Clan Naga Sadow in the streets of the system such as Muz Ashen, Kojiro Keibatsu, Tasha'Vel Versea and Malisane Sadow.
