Stormtroopers secure suburb of Mos Eisley

Date: 210909
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Mos Eisley

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

After a few more routine patrols a massive force of stormtroopers, supported by scoutwalkers, took control of a suburb of Mos Eisley. Lt. Colonel Welaspic, in charge of the operation as far as is known, did not release a statement yet on the goals of or reasons for the operation.



Since this was the most massive "patrol" so far - more like an invasion, as a resident was quoted - this lack of information is starting to unnerve some of the residents and concernened citizens of means of Tatooine. So far the troopers have not moved to cordon off the cities themselves, especially not Mos Eisley, where a lot of crimes are committed daily, and evne more credits are made illegally, but the presence of so many troopers is sure to have a number of underworld "Businessmen" on edge.

Cynics nevertheless claim that all the good Colonel really wants are heftier bribes from the local crimelords but so far no one has had found any evidence which would prove this - or was too afraid to present it.
