Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).

The local Sector Command of the Imperial Fleet released a press bulletin according to which last night rebel forces attacked a mining operation in Deep Space. A task force led by commander Ibeti was scrambled immediately and sent to intercept the rebel ships, then counter attack and secure the area. Commander Kalien, from the veteran 101st "Onyx" decimator squadron, took command of the mining operation personally, to reduce the risk of civilian personell, while TIE fighters destroyed a rebel base in the area.

Despite a setback when rebel forces damaged the mining ship to the point of forcing it to retreat for repairs, the imperial pilots – a combined force of Claw and Crimson Squadron and RID naval personell, with members of other units attached – held the line and forced the rebels into defensive operations, foiling their attempts to mine themselves.

The reasons fort he operations are not yet known, although rumors circulate that claim there was ore to be mined from asteroids which was crucial for future ship development.
