Mayor of SandStorm City disappears after Imperial Inspection

Date: 100909
Planet: Tatooine
Region: SandStorm City

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

Our readers may recall the recent report about Lt. Colonel Welaspic's visit to Farpoint Valley, and her plans to crack down on crime and criminals on Tatooine. From what we heard since then the good officer is driving what troops she has hard to make her plans reality.



Patrols of stormtroopers showed up near Mos Eisley, Mos Entha and Bestine - and near Wayfar. While they encountered little resistance from the local population so far - some reports claim animals were a bigger danger - their visit to Wayfar's neighboring town Sandstorm City may have had surprising consequences.

Shortly after the stormtroopers started their patrol - other units had started to put up bases - the mayor of SandStorm City, Aseanie Winfield, disappeared. According to rumors there was talk of an investigation regarding suspicions of political corruption - with the city's closeness and ties to Jabba the Hutt, only a fool would not expect some give and take having taken place - but no confirmed information regarding those charges, or Mayor Aseanie Winfield's current location has come forth.

Aseanie Winfield is best known as a business woman. Lately, however, some rumors claim that she had been involved with local criminals, but most politicians on Tatooine are rumored to be involved with criminals of all sorts, especially Jabba the Hutt and Lady Valarian.

One can only hope the by now former mayor did not get disappeared by others - Jabba the Hutt is not known to be squeamish when he needs his tracks covered.
