Planet: Corellia System
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Two days ago, imperial and rebel space forces clashed in the Corellia system. While there are numerous witnesses to the battles – mostly civilian freighters scrambling to escape – neither the Empire nor the Rebel Alliance claimed victory.
From what is known, the focus of the battles was the space lane Route ID-5N. Our strategy consultants analysed the battle reports we collected, and came to the conclusion that control of this area would have been the stepping stone to an assault on the CorSec Outpost and Corellia Orbital Station. Given Corellia’s known reluctance to take part in the galactic civil war, either side could have been tempted to try to take control of the system, a goal the other side would have been forced to counter. Neither CorSec nor the Corellian Government commented on the incident so far.
At the start of the hostilities, rebel forces took control of the route first by stationing two armed freighters there, but were driven out by a decisive imperial attack. Imperial ships secured the area for some time, but several attack waves of rebel starfighters supported by Nova Couriers and YT-1300s managed to disrupt their formation and destroy or cripple their flagship, forcing the task force to rally again near Corellia’s orbit.
While skirmishing and chase scenes took part all over the system, more attempts by either side to secure the route took place, but all were foiled by the opposing forces. Numbers were, due to the widespread area of the battle, and the lack of sources, difficult to determine, but according to estimates as many as 15 ships per side took part in individual battles.
It remains to be seen if this incident will ever be cleared up, and if so, if the Corellian government will change its policy towards the galactic civil war as a reaction.
