Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Rumors of trouble between Jabba the Hutt and a new town named Black Sands on Tatooine, allegedly run by a "Remahr Company", circulate since some time on the desert planet.
Twelve days ago, things escalated when Jabba's men attempted to stop all cargo heading to Black Sands by installing a "quarantine" in Tatooine's orbit. Multiple ships were searched, but several freighters were reported to break through the blockade, and land safely at the town. With a possible gang war spilling into space, regular trade is in danger as well, since the line between "blockade forces" and outright piracy is thin indeed on Tatooine. The Tatooine Trading Company and IMC both released statements to the extent that regular cargo business was not affected, but rumors persist that both corporations are looking for additional escorting crafts.
Bestine's garrison was not available for comments, citing increasing pressure by rebel forces in the sector as a reason for their absence during this event.
