Rebel fleet gaining strength – Empire defeated in Endor system

Date: 280807
Planet: Endor System

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

After a period of defeats, the rebel fleet is on the offensive again. In the ongoing struggle to control space mining sites, the Imperial fleet suffered a setback in the Endor system three days ago.

While no official statement has been released to the press yet, unconfirmed sources claim that a task force ordered to secure survey sites in the Endor system was attacked by large numbers of rebel starfighters and forced to withdraw after suffering heavy casualties.

It remains to be seen how the Empire will react to this growing menace. From what is known, a number of veteran imperial units are currently undergoing refits and home leaves, and the command structure of the sector fleet is in the process of changing. Experts are not sure whether or not any such changes will take effect before the rebels use the current opportunity to secure their position in space.
