Fleet engagements intensify in Deep Space

Date: 050208
Planet: Deep Space

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

After a period of relative peace, the Galactic Civil War is in full swing again. According to unconfirmed but usually well-iformed reports, the Rebel Alliance and the Empire clashed in Deep Space three days ago, fielding gunships as well as starfighters and patrol ships. The battle went on for over an hour, and claimed four gunships on each side as far as known.

Neither side claimed victory, so experts agree that it was a draw. Given the sector’s history, it is not clear yet whether the use of gunships will favor the Empire or the Rebel Alliance. According to a naval officer who prefers to remain anonymus, their performance is still being evaluated. He did not comment when asked if there was lobbying from shipyards hoping for stronger sales.
