Region: Mos Eisley
Story: by Tatooine Correspondent
In a small populated though unnamed area just southwest of Mos eisley an explosion caused by an unknown reason destroyed a house last night, setting it on fire. The Mos Eisley Police Department is looking into the incident and stated that the area was usually quiet and not known for what may have been the act of organized crime. First reports indicate that the remains of two individulas were found inside the residence after the blast, their bodies somewhat protected due to the armor they wore, though their features too badly burned to be recognised. A group of three heavily armed men and two female twi'lek's, one which appeared to be drugged, apparently has been been seen exiting the building just before the explosion.
Anyone with information concerning this incident is asked to contact the nearest representative of the Mos Eisley Police Department.

Pirates rob Charity Cruise!
Date: 291109
Planet: Talus/Naboo/Tatooine System
Region: Dearic/Kaadara
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
The Galactic Orphan's Charity Cruise laucnhed last night from Dearic, Talus. The charity cruise had the goal to raise money for the orphans of imperial soldiers and men that have lost their lives in the line of duty. All the raised money was to "go directly into maintaining and improving orphanages for the children, and finding them new families".
The cruise attracted several wealthy passengers, among them several members of the Holowood Galactic Studios and Talusian governor Cas-Ru Roben, who exited the cruise at the first stop at Kaadara, Naboo though. A wise decision, as became apparent when the yacht carrying the passengers was stopped in the Tatooine system by an unidentified Vigo-class gunboat and armed raiders appeared inside the yacht, relieving the passengers of their valuables at gunpoint.
During this one passenger quick-drew hidden blasters and a short firefight errupted, during which most passengers and one raider fled to the escape pods, landing safely on Tatooine afterwards. One lightly wounded - the man who had drawn the blasters - had to be treated at the Mos Entha Medical Center for a mild concussion. According to the staff there he was later threatened by the other passengers for having endangered them.
The yacht as well as the Vigo disappeared without a trace and when authorities tried to contact the organizers of the cruise they discovered faked adresses and contacts, leading them to the conclusion that this had been a scam all along, organized by the pirates themselves.

Rebel Forces save spice cargo in Deep Space
Date: 291109
Planet: Deep Space
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Last night massive rebel forces launched into Deep Space to assist a suspected spice smuggler that had suffered engine failure there and was on the verge of being arrested by an imperial patrol.
The small imperial force cosisting of units from several squadrons engaging the rebels was wiped out repeatedly during its attempts to prevent the numerically superiour rebel forces from transferring the spice cargo to their own transports. What motive the rebels had for assisting a smuggler carrying such poisenous cargo can only be guessed at but it's not too unlikely that the rebellion is heavily involved in the spice trade, given their massive forces used in this operation.
The following footage was released by the 42nd Fighter Wing HQ:

Mob drives Stromtroopers away - robbery follows
Date: 291109
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Mos Eisley
Story: by Tatooine Correspondent
An imperial patrol in Chalmun's lead by an imperial officer was interrupted by several patrons when they attempted to arrest an as of yet unidentified human man. As the crowd around the incident grew with both armored and unarmored patrons, the troopers apparently determined this was not the man they sought, and departed the premises.
Almost immediately after there was an altercation between the just saved man and his "saviours" when they began to argue over whether or not a reward was justified. The unknown man soon found himself surrounded again, though this time not by troopers. Witnesses indicated that several people, including two females and several males, had drawn weapons on the man, who now appeared to be alone. According to one witness, there were one sword wielding individual in padded armor and one in green armor who are believed to have been in several incidents over the past week, to include several run-ins with Imperial Patrols by the unknown sword bearer.

Corpse found floating on Corellia - suicide?
Date: 271109
Planet: Corellia
Region: Vreni Island
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Three days ago the body of a human male was found floating towards the shore of a beach of Vreni Island, Corellia. The body was wearing white pants and a white T-shirt, brown haired and looked in his mid-twenties. The dead was identified as "Osrame Zoye".
CorSec officers investigating the case stated that no wounds were found and that they were considering to file it as a suicide. Though according to an anonymous source from CorSec a journal found on the dead man showed he had had trouble with a man named Oelos Takushi. Apparently Takushi had been threatening him constantly to make him stay away from his wife.
It remains to be seen whether this case will be as quickly closed as CorSec seems to want it to be.

Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Two years ago, Malachae Solace was declared dead after his mutilated body was found in a ditch on Corellia. Yesterday a man claiming to be Malachae reappeared and announced he is 'The Arisen One'. The man claiming to be Malachae Solace told a gathered crowd of his former followers and others his return was the first step in the eventual triumph of his faith and offered sanctuary and comfort to all who wish to join his Temple.
Authorities were at a loss to explain the return of a man whose body they had identified through DNA, and an investigation has been opened according to the spokesman of CorSec, Coronet.

Busahab and TTC-Tencilia repel pirates
Date: 241109
Planet: Tatooine/Naboo System/Ord Mantell
Region: Farpoint Valley/Nova Orion Station
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Last night IMC sent another pair of freighters with ore cargo from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to the Nova Orion Station in the Ord Mantell system - the freshly repaired Nova Courier "Busahab" owned and captained by the wookiee Rasowaro, and the chartered YT-2400 class ship "TTC-Tencilia", flown by Falcun Nix.
The pair of freighters, expecting a pirate attack, were promptly jumped right after entering the Naboo system by a pirate ship - a ARC-170. The attacker was quickly shot down though by the prepared crews, a fate shared by another raider who showed up shortly afterwards, and the convoy reached Ord Mantell safely.
However according to our information the crew of the TTC-Tencilia, or at least one member of it, got drunk on the Nova Orion Station, and the drunk crew member - a wookiee - broke Falcun's arm on the way back to Tatooine and later rampaged in Farpoint Valley. He was apparently suffering from a split personality, but was considered dangerous and aggressive, and driven away with lethal force.
IMC shares rose 2 % at the Coronet Stock Exchange following the news.

More troubles at Chalmun's
Date: 241109
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Mos Eisley
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Chalmun's saw further violence a few days ago when two unknown males, one dressed as a tusken raider the other appearing to be a zabrak in dark robes were involved in a fight with two twil'lek women and one male human, one of the twi'leks possibly being involved in the attack on the imperial Patrol earlier.
The reasons for this fight are unknown, but when regulars of Chalmun's are involved, not much of a reason is usually needed for a fight to take place. As it happened the man in tattered tusken robes was last seen fleeing the scene while the Zabrak's limp body tossed over the countertop to be left, and ended up behind the bar, with the three other involved people remaining unscathed.
A day later a reinforced imperial patrol arrested a human male for questioning about reported rebel recruitment, but he was released later. It is not known if this is related to the earlier attacks and fights.

Two days ago a squad of stormtroopers tried to question a suspect - a twi'lek female, according to witnesses - at the bar in Chalmun's cantina in Mos Eisley when two unidentified sentients - one zabrak male, and a humanoid wearing a battle armor suit with face-concealing helmet - intervened. The troopers opened fire on the three people accosting them, but were wounded and driven off after a short firefight.
The local garrison is asking for eye witnesses and any information about the identities of those suspected rebels.

Smuggler caught and cargo recovered in Deep Space
Date: 221109
Planet: Deep Space
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Yesterday the Imperial Navy received information that a suspected smuggling vessel was left stranded in Deep Space. A task force built around the three Decimator-Class ships of the 42nd Fighter Wing "ISS Eviscerator", "ISS Thunderflare" and "ISS Extinguisher" and supported by the YT-1300 "Long Hard Violator" from Thunder Squadron was dispatched to Deep Space to recover the cargo of the suspected smuggling vessel.
The task force, escorted by two flight groups from various squadrons, started their sweep of the sector and met a rebel task force on the way, dispatching it without taking any losses before starting the recovery operation.
Docking attempts were difficult though when several rebel capital ships including two gunboats and numerous fighter and bombers attacked, often punching through the fighter screen to strike at the docking transports.
Despite the heavy fighting and the increasingly tenacious rebel attacks the cargo recovery under fire was successfully accomplished and the transports safely withdrawn from Deep Space.

Myxxie Eosad dead? Corpse identified as daughter of General Darkwalter Lotus
Date: 191109
Planet: Naboo
Region: Theed
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Recently a dead woman has been found by RSF forces on Naboo. The exact location has not been revealed yet in order to avoid jeopardizing the on-going investigation, or so RSF representatives said at a press conference in Theed today.
From what information was released it's known that the woman died to headwounds caused by a throwing knife - one made from stones found on Dantooine, to be exact. The body was identified thanks to DNA testing and a valid ID found on it as "Myxxie Eosad". Even more interesting is that the testing also revealed that the deceased General Therrid Darkwalker Lotus, and his deceased wife, were infact the biological parents of Myxxie's. The Mystery of Chrystiana's disappearance has been apparently solved.
Myxxie/Chrystiana is not known to have any children to continue her line, nor is it known if she has any other family to speak of. However it has been reported she has faked her own death a dozen times before, working as a career intelligence agent. She is said to have worked for both the Empire and Alliance, as well as the Federation of Double worlds and the Black Sun, so the RSF investigators are loathe to pronounce her dead at this point.
The reasons for the apparent death remain mysterious - the stone knife hints to an elaborate motive behind the killing, not a simple robbery or even an assassination, but so far there haven't been any leads accoridng to the RSF.

Ore transports robbed by pirate raiders
Date: 171109
Planet: Tatooine/Naboo System/Ord Mantell
Region: Farpoint Valley/Nova Orion Station
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Last night IMC sent two well-armed ships carrying ore from the Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to the Nova Orion Station in the Ord Mantell system. In addition to the "Crescent raven", Captain Ashen Katarna's X-4 class medium freighter, the Nova Courier "Busahab" owned and captained by the wookiee Rasowaro.
The convoy entered the Naboo System and soon had a suspect ship in sensor range, a Vaksai fighter. The "Busahab" turned to face it, and it withdrew. Soon afterwards though the Vaksai returned, and with it came another Vaksai as well as a TIE Advanced, likely a deserter.
The "Busahab" broke formation and engaged the three raiders, but was disabled after a fierce dogfight and was forced to surrender the cargo. Soon afterwards the raiders tracked down the "Crescent Raven", attacking the medium freighter from multiple angles, avoiding the turret fire for the most part, and disabled the ship as well, forcing it to jettison its cargo too before withdrawing with the loot.
IMC shares fell 6 % at the Coronet Stock Exchange following the news.

Imperial Task Force wiped out in Ord Mantell
Date: 161109
Planet: Deep Space/Ord Mantell System
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Two days ago the Imperial Navy launched an operation, supposedly to retake control of an Imperial Star Destroyer "Blackguard", which reportedly had gone rogue. Spearheaded by the ISS Mauler from Onyx Squadron the task force contained two flights of starfighters and bombers from the DFA, Onyx and Obsidian Dagger squadrons.
The small task force tracked down the "Blackguard" in Ord Mantell space but came under fire from both the capital ship as well as unidentified escorts as soon as it came into range. To compound this naval units from the Rebel Alliance joined the battle as well and despite losing their flagship to a bomber strike managed to wipe out the outnumbered Imperial task force before being driven off by the Blackguard's defnders themselves. Surviving imperial units were chased to Deep Space and decimated there by numerically superiour rebel forces.
Given the force disparity observed in recent battles it seems only a matter of time before the Rebel Alliance takes complete control of the sector - unless the Imperial Sector Fleet receives reinforcements.

Cruise ship raided - on Naboo's ocean
Date: 161109
Planet: Naboo System
Region: Ocean north of Kadara
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
While Naboo has seen its share and then some of space piracy lately, the soil of the planet itself was widely considered safe from the machinations of those criminals, at least in recent years.
An incident last week may have changed this thoug: A cruise ship was raided by pirates while sailing the waters north of Kadara. While the information concerning the robbery is in parts contradictory and at times confusing - involving a force user and a crashed TIE Fighter, according to some rumors - it seems confirmed that the pirates robbed several cases of luxury liquor as well as exotic expensive food.
RSF claimed that the Galactic Moon Festival in Moenia was requiring a lot of manpower when asked why this robbery had not been prevented.

Slavers work during and at Pharple Day Festival
Date: 161109
Planet: Lok
Region: New Dosha
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Four days ago Pharple Day was celebrated on Lok, in New Dosha - known as the headquarters of the slaver organization "Trandoshan Brotherhood", hosted a party in their base, serving freshly hunted Pharple - roasted for those species who did not eat raw meat - in accordance with their hunting tradtions.
The traditional meal attracted many vistors, among them Aak the Toydarian Slaver, and his crew - according to persistent rumors partners of the Brotherhood. Both organizations have a reputation - well-deserved - for brutally enslaving anyone and anything they could get away with.
When a female "near-human" visited the party she promptly got enslaved at the door - according to one source by Aak as tribute to Scirzzo the shaman of the Brotherhood, others claim she was sold to agents of Jabba the Hutt.
In any case everyone familiar with both Aak and the Brotherhood can only speculate why anyone fitting their target profile - i.e. anyone not 100% certified human, and even that seems not too solid - would visit a place crawling with slavers from either organization.

Four days ago Pharple Day was celebrated on Lok, in New Dosha - known as the headquarters of the slaver organization "Trandoshan Brotherhood", hosted a party in their base, serving freshly hunted Pharple - roasted for those species who did not eat raw meat - in accordance with their hunting tradtions.
The traditional meal attracted many vistors, among them Aak the Toydarian Slaver, and his crew - according to persistent rumors partners of the Brotherhood. Both organizations have a reputation - well-deserved - for brutally enslaving anyone and anything they could get away with.
When a female "near-human" visited the party she promptly got enslaved at the door - according to one source by Aak as tribute to Scirzzo the shaman of the Brotherhood, others claim she was sold to agents of Jabba the Hutt.
In any case everyone familiar with both Aak and the Brotherhood can only speculate why anyone fitting their target profile - i.e. anyone not 100% certified human, and even that seems not too solid - would visit a place crawling with slavers from either organization.

IMC Convoy repels boarders
Date: 101109
Planet: Tatooine/Naboo System/Ord Mantell
Region: Farpoint Valley/Nova Orion Station
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Last night the "Crescent raven", Captain Ashen Katarna's X-4 class medium freighter, once again transported ore for IMC from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to the Nova Orion Station in the Ord Mantell system. The freighter was escorted by a TIE Oppressor from the Obsidian Dagger Squadron.
The trip was uneventful untilt the transport was attacked in the Naboo System nearthe Rori station by an ARC-170, but the raider was shot down quickly. The escort had to leave before the jump to Ord Mantell was made though - and when the "Crescent Raven" entered the system it was ambushed by a Vigo-class gunboat.
The two ships exchanged fire at close range in a furious battle but the pirates managed to disable the "Crescent Raven" and launch a boarding action. The crew of the freighter rallied though and managed to beat the raiders back before they could grab more than half the cargo.
According to some rumors the pirates also suffered a mutiny in the middle of the boarding, but that remains unconfirmed so far. The Crescent Raven's engines were jury-rigged and it arrived at the Nova Orion Station, where the wounded among the crew were treated in the med center.
IMC shares fell 2 % at the Coronet Stock Exchange following the news.

Farpoint Valley under attack - bounty placed
Date: 101109
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Farpoint Valley
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Last night the guests inside Jailbirds in Farpoint Valley were enjoying the dance show by the Neutron Pixies when suddenly loud explosions interrupted the evening's entertainment.
As it turned out the square in front of the club was getting hit by a bomber strike, followed by an attack of a pair of battle droids. The droids were quickly taken care of by two visitors of the nightclub though.
According to our information a man named Sy'lor claimed responsibility for this attack, and threatened further and more violent attacks if his demands were not met - his demands being that the Neutron Pixie Senyka Darkeye be turned over to him.
In response to this an open bounty of 2'000'000 credits has been placed on Sy'lor. The man is to be delivered alive, but not neccessarily unharmed, to the Neutron Pixies.

Three days ago the Alliance to restore the Republic launched a major offensive in Deep Space, wiping out the imperial forces patrolling the sector in a series of engagements. Tactically and numerically superiour Rebel forces drove the Imperial fighters to the wall. Only quickly hired freelance mercenaries helped stabilize the frontlines before the entirety of the Imperial Task Force was wiped out.
DFA, Onyx Squadron as well as Obsidian Dagger Squadron and other units suffered heavy casualties during the fighting but were still operational according to the latest information from the Sector Fleet Command.

Club Aak attacked twice - gang war?
Date: 051109
Planet: Talus
Region: New Doros
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
According to recent reports the Club Aak, a nightclub owned and ran by the infamous Toydarian slaver Aak in New Doros, was attacked a few days ago, suffering extensive damages to furniture and building as well as multiple injuries among the staff.
The exact details are a bit murky still but from what is known two men thought to be in the employ of Borvo the Hutt detonated a bomb at the club. The blast did only minor damage to the club, but was reported as to have killed one of the bombers, the other escaping. According to a rumor a passer-by who had shot at the bombers in an attempt to stop them was arrested during the investigation, and held in prison.
Just a bit after this incident a brawl broke out inside the club, according to unconfirmed reports when a slave provoked some guests. The fight soon turned very violent, with the "guests" using explosives and weapons. The furniture and interiour of the club suffered, as did its employes. The "guests" escaped, leading to some speculation that this might have been a planned attack following the failed first bomb attack.
One cannot help but wonder if this is just the start of a gang war between Aak the Toydarian slaver's organisation and Borvo the Hutt.

Man shot by security - murder or vigilante justice?
Date: 051109
Planet: Talus
Region: New Doros
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
The violence related to Club Aak does not seem to stop. A not unusual situation - a drunk guest getting unruly and loud - escalated recently, leading to what even the Undersecretary of Internal Affairs, Inaa, calls a murder.
From what is known a yet to be identified man visited Club Aak at night. After he started to cause some troubl he was told to leave at gunpoint by the security staff. The man complied, but one security guard, Fingies, followed him outside - apparently angry.
Outside Fingies shot the man dead him dead. He was quickly arrested and charged with assault and murder and is currently in jail. According to our information he can expect a light sentence though, since he claims that the man drew a weapon and took aim at a trooper.

Pirates take out escort, rob ore cargo
Date: 041109
Planet: Tatooine/Naboo System/Ord Mantell
Region: Farpoint Valley/Nova Orion Station
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Two days ago IMC sent another freighter carrying ore from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to the Nova Orion Station in the Ord Mantell system. The freighter, Falcun Nix' "Dae Nunt's Revenge", a Nova Courier class ship, was escorted by a TIE Oppressor from the Obsidian Dagger Squadron, and a TIE Aggressor from Onyx Squadron.
When it entered the Naboo System at the Sea of Veruna hyperspace jump point it was attacked by an ARC-170, but the two escorts shot it down quickly. However right then a Dunelizard and a Scyk swooped in, disabling both escorts and then the "Dae Nunt's Revenge" in a quick dogfight. The crew of the "Dae Nunt's Revenge" used an escape pod while Captain Nix was forced to jettison his cargo.
Both the ship and the crew were recovered by RSF forces. The crew returned to Tatooine while the "Dae Nunt's Revenge" is undergoing repairs.
IMC shares fell 4 % at the Coronet Stock Exchange following the news.

New landing pad opens in Farpoint Valley
Date: 251009
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Farpoint Valley
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Farpoint Valley has boasted of a public landing pad for a while, next to the Pulsar Compound's hangar bay. Since some though the Pulsar Corporation has been in need of larger facilities to handle their traffic and business.
After careful planning by Pulsar Corporations CEO, H'oshi QaVam, a new structure was erected, in the center of Farpoint Valley. Boasting of two standard landing lapds for light freighters, three landing pads rated for starfighters, and a semi-enclosed shuttle bay, the new complex can handle far more traffic than its precedessor.
A bridge leads directly to the city hall from the landing pad, and two gates allow access to the shuttle bay and stores inside the complex.
Flanked by the Grinding House and Guilty Pleasures, the new landing pad complex is an impressive sight indeed.

Krayt Escape sees daring new fashion?
Date: 011109
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Mos Carova
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Two days ago the Krayt Escape, decorated in a festive if a bit creepy theme, opened its doors again in Mos Carova, Tatooine. Fortunately, none of the club's namesakes attended the event so all visitors were safe - from Krayts, that is. There were other dangers for the numerous visitors though.
One of such was the very daring fashion statement Poe'kunal made - his suit was an eye catcher, but might have scared a few people not used to such avant-garde fashion:
Entertainment was provided by Areta and Dia'ani, two skilled dancers in pirate costumes, while Daofi served as bartender, keeping the visitors well lubricated. The only violence seen happened when a bounty hunter came for the twi'lek Ki'mi - though the residents of Mos Carova took care of the hunter before he could reach her.
