A exposé produced by the Office of Public Broadcast across Coruscant.

[FADE IN]

Static. Flickering footage of Core Pride marches. Masked figures. Red banners. Salutes.

NARRATOR (calm, firm, female voice)

“They call themselves defenders of the Core. They wear symbols of pride. They march beneath the towers of power  but who are they really?”

[CUT TO: A shadowed meeting of  executives a silent image of champagne glasses clinking over blueprints.]

“Core Pride is no grassroots movement. It is a mask a violent arm of the Grand Companies. Multi Trillion credit industries are afraid of one thing: change.”

[Montage: Protests being suppressed. Teachers silenced. Students harassed. A Core Pride member throws a flare into a school reform center.]

“They spread fear. They tell you democracy is a weakness. That education is a threat. That helping the poor to rise is an insult to the powerful.”

[HARD CUT: A young worker in a metal shop, speaking to camera.]

YOUNG WORKER:
“I’m the first in my family to ever go to university. The Core Delegation gave me a future. Core Pride wants to take it away.”

[Overlay: Education Development Ukase and its titles Passed. Galactic social mobility increased 77%.]

[Grainy footage: Core Pride rally. A speaker screams into a microphone.]

CORE PRIDE SPEAKER (distorted):
“We don’t want their lowborn schools! The Core belongs to the strong!”

[CUT TO: Empty luxury school buildings funded by Grand Companies. Tuition: 900,000 credits/year.]

NARRATOR:
“To Core Pride, education is a privilege, not a right. To them, intelligence belongs to the elite  bought, not earned.”

[Cut: Footage of students on working-class worlds using EDU-funded tablets, attending virtual lectures, learning in alien languages.]

[Surveillance footage: Core Pride members in a weapons deal. Stamped crates: “Axis Front.”]

NARRATOR:
“While the Core Delegation secures peace through diplomacy, Core Pride wants war with the Axis. War that enriches weapons manufacturers. War that sends your children to die.”

[Music swells. Footage of the Republic Futures Program, young people boarding ships, going to internships, research labs, learning together.]

NARRATOR:
“They fear a Core where the child of a janitor becomes a senator. They fear a Core where a refugee becomes a physicist. They fear a Core that belongs to everyone.”

[CUT TO: A middle-aged teacher, looking directly at the camera.]

TEACHER:
“My students can read, write, and dream now. Not because Core Pride allowed it, but because they failed to stop us.”
”

[Supercut of Core Pride defacing schools, burning books, shouting down speakers.]

NARRATOR:
“They want the Education Development Ukase repealed. They want the Federal Higher Access Lending Bureau dismantled. They want the Republic Futures Program defunded. They want to silence the poor. Permanently.”

[CUT TO: Mar-Lene McFlie giving a speech. She raises her hand. The crowd cheers.]

MAR-LENE MCFLIE (voiceover):
“Social change is not a threat. It is the promise we made. And we will not let people break that promise.”

[Footage: Core Pride graffiti “NO POORS IN POWER.”]

NARRATOR:
“Core Pride is not protecting tradition. They are protecting power hoarded, inherited, and denied.”

[CUT TO: Rows of students in a massive public school. Flags of many planets hang above. The camera rises to show the skyline of Coruscant.]

NARRATOR (inspiring):
“The Core is changing. And they can’t stop it. Because pride  true pride is lifting others with you. Not pushing them down.”

[FADE OUT to text:]
EDUCATE. EMPOWER. RESIST.
Reject Core Pride. Embrace the Future.”
