Each group was quick cut off any attempt at responding that Jason made and it was beginning to irk him. All the questions they asked, well, some of them at least, he was still puzzling out in his head, but those aimed at what he knew and why he wasn't wrong he simply couldn't cut in fast enough to answer. Right as he was about ready to reach for his blaster pistol and fire a shot into the air to get them all to slow down, the topic changed again as data parcels were received by new communications officer on the bridge, though he wasn't sure how much of the data the [i]Resurgence[/i]'s processors could translate quickly. Sighing, he leans towards Hammer. "Contact Head Engineer Kham Rho, have him transmit the basics on the [i]Resurgence[/i] to the datapads up here and then we'll distribute them."

First he addressed the orange armored person once he received confirmation it would be done. "I didn't do this, nor do I know how to send you all home. To be frank, we made a jump into hyperspace to return to the capitol world of the New Republic, but we exited here. If my teams find anything that can help you all, you'll know." Jerus stepped forwards while Jason turned to tinker with the holo-display in the middle of the table.

"You've all asked and," he looked pointedly at the four jawed alien who'd last spoken, "pointed out, they aren't even necessarily at war with you all. Well, this Empire isn't at war with us either, since we're from at least a different time period. However, they're still the same Galactic Empire the Rebellion fought in our time." Stepping back again, the holoprojector in the middle of the table lit up with footage being played all across the galaxy on the holonet.

The projection shows Phase 2 clones gunning down struggling creatures who are tall and wide, obviously wielding great strength as one of them creature's sends a clone trooper sailing no less than fifty meters through the air with a punch. Jerus continues speaking while the footage plays a little longer before shifting to another scene, this one of an energy blade wielding figure defending a group of young Twi'leks against a squad of clones. "The Galactic Empire squashed all the resistance they could in their formative years, finishing off the Separatist movement that was the enemy of the Republic during the Clone Wars. From there, they solidified their rule over the sectors that had Clone Legions in them, but..." Jason steps forwards, waving Jerus back.

"What Lieutenant Jerus is trying to say is that the Jedi were the sworn defenders of the Republic and keepers of the peace. They served as generals during the Clone Wars and were rewarded with betrayal. Sheev Palpatine, later Emperor, had implanted the Clones with a biological control chip with a series of pre-programmed orders that would be carried out upon command from a high ranking government official or Jedi. He initiated Order 66, which marked the Jedi as traitors." He let the silence sit a moment before continuing. "With the history lesson out of the way, the holonet transmissions we're receiving began cycling here in this galaxy before we arrived, and we're slowly working our way to the most recent, but nothing has changed from the events that took place for us so far. The Wookies were defeated and enslaved two days before our arrival here and already there are signs that the signature oppression the Empire became known for is showing it's ugly head."

Commander Hammer began handing out datapads to everyone, which would contain the ordered basics on the ship. He started with the Broodmother first and went from there. "However, an important difference is, they took Kashyyk in a week or so local time. According to our records, Kashyyk was a campaign of MONTHS local time. Now, you are all right, they aren't at war with any of you, as Jerus said, but they aren't above trying to take what they want by force, including foreign technology. So what you deem as not your problem now will quickly change if and when they locate us."
