Imperial counter offensive in Deep Space a success

Date: 030808
Planet: Deep Space

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

Recently, the Imperial Navy released to the press that one week ago, another Star Destroyer, the ISS "Punisher" was brought to Deep Space as flag ship of a counter offensive in response to the loss of the ISD "Vindicator" two weeks ago. Since then, skirmishing has gone on daily in the sector, and therefore most pilots taking part in the operation were well acquainted with the system.

The objective of the counter offensive was the destruction of the rebel supply station in Deep Space, with the goal of crippling rebel operations. As expected, the rebel fleet, morale high with their recent victory, started an attack on the Punisher, trying to cripple or destroy it. The rebel attackers - bombers and gunboats - were confronted with a solid defense, however, and the escorting fighters and patrol craft kept them from doing the Punisher serious harm.

Meanwhile, attack units led by Onyx Squadron's flagship struck repeated severe blows at the rebel station, finally destroying it despite heavy resistance from defenders.
