Imperial Navy sweeps Karthakk system

Date: 241108
Planet: Karthakk System

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

Two days ago, the Imperial Navy conducted a search and destroy operation in the Karthakk system as part of their increasing anti-piracy efforts. The Karthakk system was chosen since its main planet, Lok, is notorious for harboring pirates of all sorts.

A task force under the command of commander Tralek was ordered to sweep the system and clear any resistance to further efforts. After a short delay, the task force set out for the system, rallying at the jump point "Nym's Hovel". From there the fighters and bombers started their sweep of the system. They encountered stronger than expected resistance at the hyperspace point "Lurid Dawn", and it soon was discovered that instead of the expected pirates they were facing veteran rebel starfighters and converted freighters.

Despite heavy losses, the task force pressed on, first securing "Lurid Dawn" and then the hyperspace point "Voria's Ember". At this point the rebel forces were retreating to Deep Space, and the task force pursued. Further skirmishing followed in Deep Space.

The sector command did no comment on possible future operations in the Karthakk system.
