Freighter transporting Rancors crashes west of Farpoint Valley

Planet: Tatooine
Region: Farpoint Valley

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

Three days ago, a YT-2400 class freighter later identified as the "Serpent Strike" crashlanded west of Farpoint Valley. As it turned out the freighter carried several live rancors from Dathomir, one of which wandered into the town threatening the population until he was shot by an ad-hoc posse made up of visitors of Jailbirds, the local night club.



The people present - many of them members of the Talus garrison on leave, with the governor, Lord Sanguine himself present - quickly investigated the strange occurance, and following the tracks of the dead animal they arrived at the site of the crash landing, where they found more of the ferocious beasts. They attacked the large animals before they could threaten more civilians.



During the attack on the animals, however, they were attacked themselves by unidentified force users - presumed to be witches of Dathomir. Despite the surprise attack, the animals and their probable handlers were dealt with - permanently.

Then the freighter was searched, and the crew was found dead inside - electrocuted according to the first results from the coroner of the town. Investigations are continuing, even though the freighter was towed off the are soon after being secured. So far, the destiantion of the freighter was not released yet, nor the circumstances behind the strange cargo.
