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

Lt. Colonel Welaspic just released the following statement:

Over the past week, I've seen a lot of speculation on what my goals are. As such, I've decided to clear things up before speculation turns to "facts". My goals are the same now as the ones stated in my first communique; to clean up the criminal elements plaguing Tatooine and make the planet safer for loyal citizens. And to those that might think that this is only temporay - rest assured that I wont be letting up my efforts anytime soon. If anything, efforts will be stepped up. The patrols are just a first step. Other measures are being planned in cooperation with other officers. Criminals on Tatooine shall no longer be allowed to carry out their illegal activities unopposed.

Long Live the Empire

- Lt. Colonel Welaspic

The statement reached us together with reports from further stormtrooper patrols, near such hotbeds of insurgents and criminals as Anchorhead and Wayfar. So far there's no information about the aforementioned "other measures".



Despite the obvious ressources at her disposal it remains to be seen if Lt. Colonel Welaspic can achieve her stated goals given the expected resistance of the various criminal organisations and gangs on Tatooine - or if she'll suffer an accident in the line of duty.
