Scientist dies in stolen starfighter

Date: 221108
Planet: Naboo
Region: Theed

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

Yesterday, BT Inc., a biotech firm located in Kadara, Naboo, alerted the RSF authorities because several millions of credits had disappeared from their R&D accounts. A bit earlier to this dicsovery one of their researchers, Doctor Denow Howa, had gone missing as well.



While the investigation by RSF operatives had just started, Naboo space traffic control alerted Imperial patrols of an unauthorised launch of a Y-Wing starfighter from an orbital station. The Starfighter, which was reported stolen soon afterwards, was immediately pursued by an imperial patrol that happened to be on site.

When the pilot of the starfighter ignored orders to stop and prepare for an inspection, the pursuing craft opened fire, destroying the ship with several volleys of blaster fire.



Subsequent investigation of the debris uncovered human remains, identified by DNA scanning as belonging to the missing Denow Howa.

The RSF has not yet closed the investigation, but according to rumors, BT Inc. had recently canceled doctor Howa's research project, and representatives of the firm let slip that the doctor had not taken well to this decision. They refused to elaborate on the nature of the cancelled research project.
