Rebel Blockade Runner intercepted in the Yavin system

Date: 030907
Planet: Yavin System

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

The sector command of the Imperial Fleet announced today that two days ago, a rebel blockade runner identified as „Pride of Starcider“, a corellian corvette, was disabled and boarded in the Yavin System. The Imperial Fleet sent in a task force consisting of elements from Claw, Omega and Crimson Squadron, as well as Dark Flight and RID flew cover for the 101st "Onyx" decimator squadron as the later led the boarding of the rebel vessel.

Rebel relief forces attacked, and managed to stall the boarding operations for some time, but were ultimately driven back in defeat. The press release did not go into details about the cargo the „Pride of Starcider“ carried, but according to unconfirmed rumors it was valuable data concerning rebel mining and processing facilities.

So far it is not yet known how this recent setback will affect the operations of the rebel fleet in the sector, which had been taking the offensive lately.
