Planet: Dantooine
Region: Central Dantooine
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
An entire village of Janta - men, women and children - were found slaughtered by a local traveling merchant last night on Dantooine. Jantas are a humanoid sentient species native to the planet and generally live a simple, even primitive life in small villages. A few years ago many Jantas were killed en masse by ruthless hunters since their blood was a commodity very much sought after to create enhanced stims from it, but after advances in medicine made this obsolete the hunting stopped.
Investigations and obductions showed that the Jantas had been killed by what appears to have been a 5-clawed hand, with one of the victims hurled through a rock wall, landing several dozen feet away and killed on impact. The vast majority however were found as withered husks, including one vicitm that was found bound to a tree.
This "withering" shows remarkable similarities to a string of gang-related killings on Tatooine and Lok. It is still not clear whether those killings were committed by a sentient, or an animal, but with the death count rising, finding out who or what is behind this becomes more and more important.
