Three days ago, a firefight between the Shuttleport and Jailbirds shook up the peaceful town of Farpoint Valley. Information is sketchy, from what was gathered from citizens, the shuttleport had been under observation by a number of armed residents and visitors, probably expecting an attack for some time when two armed and armored men arrived and were confronted.

After an exchange of words for several minutes, the two opened fire on the people present and a short but intense blasterfight followed. The two attackers were taken down quickly by about ten "concerned citizens", and then medically treated before being sent away.

Half an hour later, a corpse was found at the place of the firefight. The man, identified as "Ehaefi", was shot dead after suffering previous wounds. According to some reports he had been attacked in Mos Eisley earlier.

While the authorities did not comment on the case - although the body was, for sanitary reasons, cremated - the imperial garrison in Mos Eisley announced that the man had been in the process of getting transferred into their custoy by a deptutised trandoshan citizen on imperial orders by General Bosk when the suspect was shot trying to escape.
