[The image above danced as an ad on almost every Holonet channel possible. When selected, it presents a message in the voice of a heavily accented Voss.]
To all outsiders,
It has come to the attention of the Voss that our people are perceived as xenophobic and close-minded. For this we apologize, and we hope that this message reaches all citizens of this great "holonetting" in good health. It is our desire to extend an invitation to the strange and numerous beings of the galaxy in friendship, and by the guiding of the Mystics that both Galactic Republic and Sith Empire will see the error of war for but only a day and act peacefully to one another in our great event known as Fal'aru.
Fal'aru is a celebration of life, the Mystics guidance, and the good fortune that graces the galaxy and all of it's creatures. Our traditional events will cater to the poor and wealthy alike, even the warriors of the universe will be able to test their mettle on our Arena of Strength which is open to all who wish to show their dominance of the martial arts. Those of you who wish corporeal sustenance will not be disappointed in the service we have attained who will craft galactic favorites as well as unique Voss cuisine which we wish to share with all freely.
To those who value culture and intellect, we Voss will provide outsiders a space in our Tower of Prophecy to weave past tales of excitement and intrigue. Those with the most well-formed tales will be rewarded, as we hope all outsiders will by participating in our unique, sacred culture.
May the Mystic's visions guide you.
[With the end of the transmission a number would be shown: a serial number for a diplomatic license to visit Voss-Ka at the second to last festival day of the month.]

Date: Februrary 25th, 2012.
Time: 7PM - 9PM Server Time.
Place: Voss-Ka, Voss. Map further below.
The Ninth feels that there's not enough events going on.. so we decided that with the help of the community we can all make something great. Fal'aru is the first of (hopefully) many 'festival' themed events that are placed on the neutral worlds of The Old Republic.
It's no normal event, though, and it will require participation from other guilded and unguilded people alike to be something truly memorable - and hopefully a monthly occurrence. If you or your guild wishes to help with any aspect or create another event that happens in Voss-Ka for this event, please feel free to contact Norredi in-game on Republic side or to PM me on Enjin and you'll be coordinated with!
- Events -
All events in Fal'aru will be starting at 7:00PM Server Time and will run as long as they need to, but our hopeful estimation is that it runs until at least 9:00PM Server Time.
- Event 1 - Arena of Strength: A tournament-style arena where combatants may test their mettle in physical, unarmed combat. A hard credit reward will be given to the victor of each individual bout as well as to those whomever wins the grand finale. Due to the inability to see the future, sentient outsiders will be allowed to bet on each individual fight.
Those who wish to bet on this event will have a mediator which will keep track of all bets placed, but there is a hard cap of ten thousand credits for each bet, and you may not bet twice on a single fight. The tournament will include both spots for 'roll' role-playing (which will be held by a trusted unbiased adviser) and duel role-playing for the level 50's who want to smack heads with one another for a credit prize.
- Event 2 - Voss Cuisine Extravaganza: The kindly Voss seek - above all - to spread their understanding and culture to the galaxy if they are to be the object of a tug-of-war between the Republic and Empire. This event is geared towards characters who wish to have a simple date while trying a new culture's food. Patrons will have choice of ordering their food from the cantina or being seated in one of the two restaurant locations where they will be given privacy for but the waiting staff.
Voss and other galactic foods alike will be tended freely without price, but tipping the faithful waitstaff would be a kindness that the universe will reward you with in the future.
- Event 3 - The Past Retold: Standard for any storytelling event, volunteers may take the floor in the Tower of Prophecy to retell a true or fictionalized tale of their past. Unbiased judges will vote for fiveoutsiders with the greatest story and they will be blessed with a diplomatic gift from the Voss-Ka Mystics.
