Battle focuses on asteroids in Deep Space

Date: 111009
Planet: Deep Space

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

Last night Deep Space saw another extended battle between the Imperial Navy and the space forces of the Alliance to restore the Republic. Both sides were intent on securing asteroids containing valuable ore in the sector, though contrary to other such missions this time neither side seemed to field any mining ships.

The battle was very fast paced by all accounts and quick scouts moved from asteroid to asteroid while the main forces of both faction clashed in brutal and extended combat around one or the other asteroid. In a remarkable contrast to other space battles both sides kept feeding ships, even capital ships, into those battles once they got started, unwilling to rally and regroup until they had been wiped out completely.

In the end the Empire claimed victory, though informed sources stated that it had been a very narrow affair, with the smallest factors such as a single ship missing an important order, making the difference. Despite the lengthy and bloody battles strategy more than brute force seemed crucial.

The following footage was released by the Obsidian Dagger Squadron Headquarters on Dantooine and shows ships from DFA, Obsidian Dagger Squadron and Onyx Squadron, among others:
