Planet: Tatooine
Region: Farpoint Valley
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Tatooine is a dangerous planet for the unprepared - many unwary traveler die from exposure or lack of water in the desert, fall prey to the sand people raiding the dunes and hills or disappear down the maw of a ferocious Krayt Dragon. Even residents and frequent visitors can be caught unaware by a danger and suffer the consequences.
Last night a small group of free climbers scaling a cliff near Farpoint Valley was surprised by a Sandstorm and while not literally blown off the cliff, came close when their descent ended up being quicker than planned.
Fortunately they had not been as high up as to suffer fatal wounds from the fall, but even so all were badly beaten up and had some difficulties reaching nearby Farpoint Valley. There they were taken to Jailbirds while a medic from the 1st Imperial Marine Expeditionary Force, which was in the area on operations, was called in to render them first aid before taking the most seriously wounded, twi'lek dancer Nizzali, to the Mos Entha Medical Center for further treatment.
According to our information all members of the group of free climbers are expected to fully recover from their ordeal. We can only hope they'll plan their next trip a bit more carefully - and watch the local sandstorm reports before starting out. Our thanks go out to the Imperial Marine Expeditionary Force for their quick and effective help.
