Battle Droids attack Farpoint Valley!

Our readers may be familiar with a mad twi'lek named Kegana Rimos, who has threatened not just Holonews itself, but also the entire town of Farpoint Valley a week ago. While some may consider her a crazy nutcase, her ability to avoid the hunters seeking the bounty of 5 million credits on her head proved that she is not to be taken lightly. Even so, her threat of a droid army seemed more boast than substance - until last night.

Shortly before the regular IMC Convoy set off from the town, several shuttles landed, disgorging waves of battle droids of clone wars vintage - supported by Droidekas and even super battle droids!

The following footage was taken by a surveillance droid we placed in town as part of our increased security measures following last week's threats:



Fortunately, the citizens and visitors that had gathered in Jailbirds had their weapons and hand, and managed to defeat the attacking droids - although not without losses. Lord Marius Sanguine, governor of Talus, was wounded in the attack, as was captain Drake of the "Crimson Eclipse", veteran pilot. Both survived their injuries - and treatment - and are expected to be recovering fully.

Several employes of Coron Enterprises, a business new in town, were crucial in destroying the droids and the company's CEO, captain Ryian Coron, famous for piloting the "Spinning Cloud", was overheard planning to personally hunt down the mad twi'lek behind this.
