Planet: Corellia System
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
The Imperial Navy announced tonight in a press release that a task force from the sector fleet had completed a sweep of the Corellia system today. Units from Claw, Omega, and Crimson Squadron as well as Dark Flight and Onyx Squadron were ordered to clear the system of any pirates, rebels or other threats to space lanes and shipping after several incidents as well as a major battle against rebel forces had occurred there.
Starting from CorSec Wing, the task force first secured the hyperspace jump point Trifecta Star, destroying about a dozen enemy ships and suffering minimal losses. A surprise attack at the staging area set the operation back a bit, and caused serious losses as well as allowed some pirate or insurgent ships to escape through Corellia’s Own while that point was not secured. The imperial counter attack cleared the area around Corsec Wing though, as well as Binayre Razorcat.
After this, Corellia’s orbital station came under attack by fast rebel interceptors, and the remaining ships of the task force headed there, taking slower moving rebel strike fighters in the flank before finishing the rebel interceptor crafts around the station. Again, minimal losses were suffered by the Imperial ships, but the station suffered some damage by blaster bolts that missed the target. It is expected that repairs will not take long.
The Diktat has not yet commented on the operation, but according to anonymous sources, Imperial pressure on the Corellian government to take more action against insurgent and pirate forces may increase.
