Following their successful attack on a rebel supply base in Deep Space, the Imperial Fleet in the sector continues its offensive. In a search and destroy operation last night, a task force led by Commander Wezz hunted down another rebel supply station, this time in the notorious Lok system.

The task force was operating out of a temporary base in the Yavin system, for secrecy purposes. However, the base - a converted YE-4 gunboat - was compromised shortly after the operation was launched when a rebel A-Wing scout managed to find it and send its location to the waiting rebel fleet elements before getting dispatched by the task force.

In response to this, multiple rebel attacks by A-Wings, Vaksai fighters and Y-Wing bombers struck at the station, forcing the Imperial task force on the defensive. Despite the pressure, the imperials' own scouting elements managed to track down the rebel base, allowing the Imperial commander to send a strike unit at it.

Despite heavy rebel resistance by about a dozen X-Wings, the bombers got through and managed to destroy the rebel base. Meanwhile, a massive rebel attack at the imperial base was repulsed with severe losses for both sides.
