Clash in Deep Space

Date: 211107
Planet: Deep Space

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

Today the sector command of the Imperial Fleet confirmed reports stating that four days ago there were extensive combat in Deep Space. While the statement did not go into details, it also named units involved - the 121st Onyx Squadron, Claw Squadron, and elements from RID.

Since the press release did not contain any information about the outcome of the fighting, and no claims of victory have come forth from the usual channels with ties to the Rebel Alliance, the consensus among experts is that the battles ended inconclusive. Some speculate that this may be the start of further, similar operations designed to bring the Rebel Alliance down through atrition, but so far there's nothing known to support this. Others point out that Deep Space remains one of the most contested sectors in space, where rebel and imperial ships clash daily, so the operation four days ago could have just been the result of unplanned escalation of a skirmish.
