Planet: Deep Space
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Three days ago, Deep Space once again was the location of a battle between the growing rebel forces in the sector and the task force of the Imperial Navy assigned to pacify the systems and restore law and order.
At first the two fleets battled for control of staging areas in the system, with the Imperial starfighters pushing the rebel units quickly back. Soon capital ships were brought in by both sides, and the fighting became even fiercer. A first rebel offensive was beaten back with the rebel losing multiple gunboats. When the Imperial task force tried to use the momentum however, the rebels split them up and dealt heavy losses to the imperial gunboats. But the Imperial forces rallied, and met the rebels on even terms, searching for their flagship. The fighting quickly became a chaotic mass of individual dogfights and small actions. Finally, the rebel main ships were discovered and destroyed, driving the rebel fleet into retreat.
The Imperial Navy's press released cited Commander Octus of RID for going above and beyond the call of duty. When his personal yacht had engine troubles and blocked the docks of the imperial gunboats about to head out to join the battle, he personally blew it up, opening the way for the gunboats, sacrificing a large part of his personal fortune in the process.
