Winner of Talus beauty contest enslaved?

Date: 100909
Planet: Talus
Region: New Doros

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

Most people are now aware of the risk many sentients - especially twi'lek women - run when visiting Tatooine, especially Mos Eisley, where slavers prowl around the clock, looking for new victims. Not as many may be aware that the practise of kidnapping sentients for enslavement has spread to even so-called civilized places such as the Corellia system, despite many slaving organisations having venues and bases there, such as Aak the Toydarian in New Doros on Talus.

But even those who are aware of the presence of slavers may be shocked at what happened four days ago, at the Talus Beauty Pageant in New Doros. According to our sources the female winner, a twi'lek beauty named Mallana, was captured and enslaved not even a day after the ceremony. By the same reports that blatant and crass act was not just ignored by the authorities but Governor Cas-Ru Roben himself even purchased the unfortunate woman.

Such treatment of a contestant, invited to take part in a pageant, would be shocking even in many of the near lawless parts of the Outer Rim, where this would be considered base treachery, but in the Corellia system, well-known for its citizens love of freedom?

If the reports are true then any sentient in danger of getting enslaved would do well to consider carefully whether or not to risk travelling to Talus - even as a guest.
