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

Mos Carova's Pub is, despite the somewhat shady reputation of a number of the town's residents, usually a peaceful place - compared to say Chalmun's. However even so it sees its share of violence.

Two days ago Traycn proved this. The man had a very high bounty on his head, placed by the Talusian Government according to some sources, and he was presumably hiding in the cantina in Mos Carova from those on his trail. A smart decision given his relationship to the town's mayor, Te'he - the two have been a couple for some time according to the latest gossip.

When he was advised to disguise himself though Te'he objected, stating she liked his looks, at which point the bartender called her shallow for risking her lover's life for mere appearances. Traycn took offense to this though, drew his blaster and shot the bartender twice at point blank range.

Even on Tatooine such behaviour is not likely to be tolerated - provided the victim has friends - and so Traycn was quickly overwhelmed by the bystanders and taken away while the doctor of the town struggled to save the wounded twi'lek's life - she's currently in a coma, but expected to recover according to the latest information.

Traycn apparently was drugged and dumped in New Doros as a punishment, and was said to have been promptly arrested as well, though a day or two later he was seen on Tatooine again. According to a rumor Te'he paid his bail. How the rest of the resdients reacted to his return can only be speculated about, but anyone visiting would be well-advised to ce careful around the man so as to avoid another violent blow-up.
