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

Landsend, a peaceful town in central Naboo, was levelled a few days ago by a massive explosion and completely destroyed. Rescuers rushing to the scene from the countryside and shuttled in with scrambled shuttles and spaceships found a field of rubble around a massive crater – and the remains of dead people everywhere. Among the victims are Ti'ana and Talic Annis, well known archaeologists with the university of Theed, recently returned from an expedition.

While desperate relatives and rescue workers dug through the rubble in an attempt to find survivors, RSF launched an investigation. It soon became clear that the freighter “Far Runner”, loaded with hyperdrive fuel, was responsible for the explosion. Comm contact with the freighter was lost shortly after it lifted off Keren and sent out a distress signal before crashing on the town and going up in a devastating fireball when the fuel ignited.

RSF investigators did not comment on whether this was an accident or a terrorist attack, stating that the investigation was still underway.
