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.
