Rebels attack Imperial bases

Date: 090209
Planet: Dathomir and Naboo System

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

As was announced today two days ago the rebel alliance conducted offensive operations against Imperial bases in the Dathomir and Naboo system. The surprise attack on the Dathomir base - a small space station - was conducted by at least two waves of rebel ships, the first wave tying up the starfighters that defended the base, the second wave - mostly Y-Wing Longprobe bombers - destroying the base with concentrated torpedo strikes.

Immediately the Imperial sector forces sounded a general alert - just in time. When another rebel force attacked a similar base in the Naboo system the defenders were ready and annihilated both waves of the attackers.

But the rebels did not give up. For the next hour wave after wave, ship after ship attacked relentlessly despite suffering horrendous losses at the hands of the determinded defenders. In spite of the numbers of attackers and even though one or two bombers reached the inner line of defense the base did not suffer any damage other than superficial armor damage. The following footage was released by the Imperial Sector command, showing some of the fighting that took place:



Finally, the rebel forces gave up and withdrew, leaving the Imperial base intact and the Imperial Navy in control of the sector.
