Lord Marius Sanguine rescued from kidnapping!

Date: 091008
Planet: Lok
Region: Eastern Lok

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

Lord Marius Sanguine, Acting Governor of Talus and CEO of Shadow Blade Enterprises after Lord Blade's death, was reported to have fallen victim to a kidnapping by unknown assailants a day or two ago. The imperial forces at the service of of the government of Talus reacted swiftly though and managed to track the kidnapped politician, with the help of civilians. The lord was being held captive in an underground complex on Lok, east of the infamous slaver camp "New Dosha".

While the rescuers, dropped on location by a shuttle and a YT-1300, worked on cracking the heavily fortified complex, other troops secured the area. This was needed, as was shown when they were attacked by several people and droids just as Lord Marius was led out of the installation. It is not sure if those attackers were the original kidnappers, or just one of the numerous mercenary bands of Lok, but they were no match for the rescue forces, which held them off until Lord Marius had been carried to safety.

Here's footage of the rescue operation taken from the helmet camera of a trooper:
