Armed assault on Jailbirds

Date: 160909
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Farpoint Valley

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

Armed and armored men are not very unusual sight in Farpoint Valley given the town's location near Mos Eisley. When close to half a dozen such individuals gathered at the shuttleport last night this alone was no cause for undue concern among the residents.

When said group moved to Jailbirds, which was closed, and started to shoot at the doors when refused entry that was cause for concern. Fortunately the doors had been reinforced years ago, after an unknown assailant had blown them away with a rocket launcher, and so withstood blaster fire quite well, delaying the attackers long enough two allow the inhabitants of the building - Ramona and Ashley, both members of the Neutron Pixies - to call for help.



By the time the attackers had used disruptors to break through the - also reinforced - walls and had been met by security droids laying down suppressive fire a sizable relief force made up by friends of the dancing troupe, among them captain Ashen' Katarna, Wesleys, Randal and Wranik, had turned up. The manager of the Neutron Pixies, Clarissa Wrenchturner, arrived as well, together with fellow member Tal'Shiva, and confronted the attackers.



For some time a fight seemed imminent while weapons were pointed at each other and people tried to sort out the goal of the attackers - identified as members of a slaving organisation - and tempers started to rise. When Poe'kunal arrived with more reinforcements from Mos Carova the attackers, faced with the threat of getting caught in a crossfire by numerically superiour forces, withdrew.

Repairs were started at once on the breached walls of the nightclub. Clarissa Wrenchturner expressed the Neutron Pixies' profund gratitude for the help provided to them by their friends. Mayor Kimisei Bythmi was quoted in stating that this incident was a private matter and did not concern the town, and that the affected venue's security had been handling it anyway.
