Increased Imperial patrols on Tatooine?

Date: 040909
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Farpoint Valley

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

After the visit to Farpoint Valley by Lt. Colonel Welaspic the town received anotehr imperial visit today - an even more heavy-handed visit. Dozens of troopers patrolled the town.



Lt. Colonel Welaspic later released a press communique:

After reading the article about me the other day, I've decided to make a public announcement:

For far too long, the Imperial management of this sector has been way too lax, making it a breeding ground for pirates, smugglers, rebels and other enemies of the Empire; a place where loyal citizens can no longer feel safe. This is going to change. No longer will only the major cities be the ones with Imperial protection. Effective immediately, Imperial troopers will be patrolling several more locations at random intervals in an effort to weed out the criminal elements plaguing this planet and restore peace and stability.

Long Live the Empire.

- Lt. Colonel Welaspic





Judging by this commuinique it looks like other regions of Tatooine can expect similar patrols. While this may be a boon for loyal citizens of the Galactic Empire other, more free-thinking and free-trading people of the Rim might be less than pleased.
