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.
