Planet: Lok/Naboo
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Korby Pascal, head of a construction company, was the victim of the latest excess of the Galactic Civil War when his wife Pyper was kidnapped. What at first appeared as a simple criminal act turned out to be the work of rebel agents when the demand for ransom turned out to be two bombers built to the specs of the latest designs of the Rebel Alliance.
The kidnapping took place on Lok, but the ships were delivered to Naboo, which recently saw heavy fighting in orbit when the Empire’s navy was driven back from its assault on Rori. According to Mr. Pascal, the one responsible for this heinous act is one Widdor Stormcrow, notorious pirate, rebel officer and general troublemaker.
It seems that some elements of the Rebel Alliance are now deviating from the ideals they are said to support, and turning to crime to finance their war. How this will effect their support among the populace, and possible internal troubles, is not yet clear. What is clear is that the war just became even more harmful to the civilian population.
The local garrison leaders on Lok had no comment on the incident, but we’re sure that they do what they can to stop this latest menace.

Pirates hijack ship, leave without booty
Date: 311207
Planet: Tatooine System
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Four days ago, a strange pirate attack took place in Tatooine’s orbit. The TTC-Sunbeam, of a routine round trip from Tatooine to Naboo and then to Corellia before returning to Tatooine had just lifted off from Mos Eisley and reached orbit when it reported reactor trouble to its escorts. Shortly afterwards, the ship lost power and started to drift.
While it was not clear at the time, at this point the ship had been taken over by a gang of pirates who had infiltrated the ship posing as passengers. While they were searching the ship and subduing the crew and other passengers, the escort, an interceptor piloted by Atheu, was engaged by some unidentified ships, possibly rebel-aligned, who may have msitaken it for an attacker.
When an X-Wing starfighter started to shoot at the freighter to disable it, the pirates on board, who, accordiging to witnesses, were still searching for some disc containing data, restored the powerlines they had interrupted, and returned fire, destroying the starfighter – and then, possibly in a panic caused by plasma leak reports, abandonned ship.
The TTC-Sunbeam, with its power restored, was able to limp into port at the orbital station for much needed repairs, escorted by Atheu:
What exactly the pirates were looking for is not known. All crew members and passengers professed ignorance with regards to this topic when questioned.

Crashed pilot rescued from Dathomir
Date: 231207
Planet: Dathomir
Region: Western Dathomir
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Two days ago, Afafan, captain of “The Red Blade”, sent out a distress call before crashlanding on Dathomir. Despite the danger of this planet, a rescue operation led by Captain Rajha Al’Rajhiim of the “Abysmal Dream”, a YT-2400 class modified freighter, set out immediately.
While the planet was reached without incident, once on the ground the rescue operation ran into some difficulties. The escape pod captain Afafan had taken was found, but the captain was not there – a droid revealed he had been kidnapped by natives, so-called “Nightsisters”, and taken to a nearby settlement. Despite the risk, the rescue party, after calling for reinforcements, entered the village – which was under attack by a number of mercenaries and stormtroopers, providing a distraction – and searched for the missing spacer. Again, they did not find him, but got his datapad, which had recordings on it that showed that Afafan had been taken to a cave to be sacrificed.
Pressed for time, the group rushed to the cave and managed to save the seriously wounded captain before he ended up as a meal for some of the local wildlife. He was stabilised, and brought back to Tatooine on board the “Abysmal Dream”. The return was not without trouble though, and the ship came under attack by unknown, possibly pirate, forces, but managed to deal with them.
Afafan’s wounds and amnesia were treated at the med center in Mos Entha. He is expected to make a full recovery.

Blockade around Tatooine broken
Date: 201207
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Tatooine Orbit
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Four days ago, ship claiming to be acting in Jabba’s name blockaded Tatooine’s orbit, stopping and searching ships arriving in the system as well as those leaving the system. True to the reputation of the Rim’s pilots, not every spacer complied with the orders though, and in several cases, fighting was reported.
The following scenes were taken by a patrol craft shortly before the freighter – the "Spinning Cloud" from what is known – refused to hand over her cargo (reported to have been bantha meat) and broke through the blockade at high speeds, distancing pursuing fighters as well as modified freighters:
From some reports, the blockading ships may have been searching for something specific, although other reports claim they were just out to plunder. The Empire did not comment on the incident yet.

Life Day Party Sports Big Fireworks

Planet: Tatooine
Region: Mos Eisley
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Jiwarii, famous wookiee chef and caterer, and her brother Leafbacca, noted bounty hunter, threw a life day party near Mos Eisley four days ago. The food was as excellent as has come to be expected from Jiwarri, and the guests served themselves accordingly. Among them were K’yna Mont’yr, Ramona, Nhadala and Syrehna from the Neutron Pixies, Mul-Bi and Ki’misha, Mekabukk the wookiee armorsmith, Irys and Pelique, Saj’ah the famous tailor, in the company of Ryian Coron, Tylera of the Vixens, and Dordrius, Blackthawne and Selene – who seemed to have some confuion about who was who’s date. Despite some reported tension, no violence broke out, so Leafbacca’s lightning rifle did not have to be used. Leafbacca, a well-known creature trainer, also showed his faithful companion, the Sludge Panther “Junior”.
A great firework display that illuminated the night sky for miles was the crowning conclusion of the party:

Wild Party on Talus
Date: 201207
Planet: Talus
Region: Zanarkand
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
The Twilight’s Vigil Cantina in Zanarkand, Talus, opened a week ago with a wild life day party hosted by the cantina’s owner, noted Mon Calamari musician Htrah. The “Vixens”, a dancing troupe of the sector, performed for the guests, displaying their skill at dancing as well as their toned bodies in life day costumes that shrunk more and more the longer they danced.
The crowd – a big part of them visiting pilots of all kinds as well as Clarissa Goldear, mayor of Farpoint Valley and manager of the Neutron Pixies, whose member Ramona joined the Vixens later on stage – went wilder the longer the party went on, and the more liquor flowed, and not even rain could dampen the spirits. A big firework was the conclusion of the event.
From what we heard more such parties are planned in the “Twilight’s Vigil”, so keep an eye and ear out for invitations, folks!

Life Day festivities started on Theed
Date: 201207
Planet: Naboo
Region: Theed
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
This year’s life day festivities in Theed sport the biggest life day tree in years. Planted near the spaceport, and supported by a band, the tree is the latest attraction of Naboo’s jewel. Many visitors are not attracted by the band or the tree itself though, but by the gifts found under the tree, and the special life day treats sold there. A noted wookiee scholar complained in an interview that the spirit of the holiday was done an injustice by the materialistic focus on gifts. Nevertheless, the holiday has been embraced all over the sector, by many races and communities.
The sponsor of the gifts is not known, but rumored to be a lamp and home decor corpoation.

IMC Convoy breaks through despite attacks
Date: 201207
Planet: Tatooine/Karthakk System
Region: Farpoint Valley
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
One week ago, the latest IMC Convoy, before a life day festivity break of two weeks, reached Corellia despite massive pirate attacks in the Karthakk system, mainly thanks to its Imperial escort, courtesy of Claw Squadron and Oada.
Both freighters undertaking the trip – captain Coolo’s YT-1300, "Zephyr", and the “Eopie Runner”. A YT-2400 piloted by K’yna Mont’yr – took heavy damage, but managed in-flight repairs under fighter cover. Several attacking pirate ships were disabled, driven off, or outright destroyed. The “Zephyr”, who lost two crew members to reasons unknown, was almost crippled, and deemed a safety hazard after inspection by CorSec officials on Corellia, but managed to land safely in Coronet, and underwent repairs there.
IMC stock went up 5% following this news.

Smuggling Ships Reach Rebel Station
Date: 201207
Planet: Deep Space
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Eight days ago, two vessels suspected of carrying contraband reached a rebel station in Deep Space despite Imperial patrols. From what was pieced together in the time since the trip was made, the ships – a YT-1300 and a Y-8 – took a lengthy route to Deep Space, encountering some harassing pirates, before meeting up with rebel escort crafts who cleared the final approach to the Deep Space Station.
After dropping off their cargo – in all likelyhood crucial supplies, the ships, even though damaged, ran past an approaching Imperial Star Destroyer, and escaped to hyperspace. Their identity is so far unknown.

Rebels drive Imperials from Naboo Orbit
Date: 201207
Planet: Naboo System
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Twelve days ago, the Naboo system saw heavy fighting. An imperial push to secure the entire Naboo system was foiled when rebel resistance turned out to be heavier than expected. While the Imperial Navy did not comment, witnesses saw rebel ships engange and strike at several Imperial forces, and managing to cripple or kill a key ship in the planned operation.
With the alleged failure of the Imeprial ships to disrupt the rebel communication net by destroying a key relay ship, the whole operation ended in a defeat, and the imperial task force was forced to regroup after a retreat. Currently, the status of the Naboo is unclear, but in all likelyhood the grip of the Empire has lessened, and the system is more open for much-needed supply convoys to Rori, where the battle in Restuss still rages on.
