Planet: Tatooine
Region: Farpoint Valley

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

Farpoint Valley saw another firefight last night when the home of local businessman Ikoogy Retoodi was attacked by several thugs. The merchant's droid guards were quickly dispatched, and just the quick intervention of a group of people which had been visiting the club "Jailbirds" in town and had noticed the attack saved the rodian from getting robbed - or worse.

Here's footage from the attack, saved from a droid which was destroyed during the fight:



Neither Ikoogy nor his pet kusak were hurt during the attack, but the property damage was not neglible, and all attackers were shot during the battle.

It is not yet sure if this attack has any connection to another attack over a week ago, but the authorities are looking into this possibility. Mayor Clarissa Wrenchturner was overheard pondering the placement of a substantial bounty on the suspected backers of those attacks, if there is a connection.
