Space Battle in the Naboo System

Date: 121007
Planet: Naboo System

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

After on going battles in the Corellia system, another trade hub, the Naboo system, saw intense fighting a week ago. From what is known, the focus of the battle was Rori’s orbit.

This is not surprising. Rori, more quite, more rural than sophisticated Naboo, has been rumored to be a hotbed of rebel activity even before the city of Restuss was reduced to rubble following a week-long battle between rebel and imperial forces, and while the exact location of suspected rebel bases may not have been known, their existence was not doubted in many circles – especially not seeing that even after the destruction of the city, ground forces kept clashing there.

So, in order to cut off the rebel supplies, the Imperial Navy was sent ahead to take control of the orbit of Rori. As was to be expected, strong rebel forces opposed them. A first clash occured when the two forces met halfway between Naboo and Rori, during which the rebel attackers were wiped. A second group of rebels, massing near an asteroid for a flank attack, was spotted later and dealt with, before a straight high-speed attack caught and destroyed rebel forces in the process of fleeing from Rori.

The Imperial Navy declared the system secure „for the moment“ in the aftermath of this battle.
