Region: Bestine
Story: By the Tatooine Correspondent
A currently unidentified male with blonde hair cut into a mohawk was found passed out in the entrance to Bestine Spaceport several days ago. Initially, two individuals in civilian attempted to move the man, but were interrupted by an Imperial patrol. Witnesses are unsure of what took place as the patrols quickly secured the area to determine what was going on. Though one witness stated that they overheard one of the individuals in civilian attire comment that they believed this man was invovled in an altercation with imperials some time ago, but that they had found him in his condition.
In the end, the Imperial patrol took control of the unconscious individual, and was last seen dragging him onto a shuttle that landed at the starport a short time later.
Rumor claims the man was a wanted man, but no rumor could agree on what he might have been wanted for - so far.

Date: 301209
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Farpoint Valley
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Last evening Farpoint Valley held a Life Day Party which included a town meeting and a swoop and open race. The town meeting started in the City Hall, where mayor Kimisei Bythmi greeted the residents and visitors who attended, giving a short speech before adressing various questions and concerns by the audience.
Afterwards the crowd moved over to the Racing Lounge of Meansa, who had been insturmental in getting the event together, enjoying a few more drinks before the races started.
Smero had picked a long course for the Swoop and Open Race, which was tackled by Falcun Nix, Otaua Ladira, Ichi Senshi, Nee'ki Starr and Jar'ek Cax. After a close race Otaua won the surprize prize.
The open competion where all kinds of vehicles were allowed was undertaken by Ashen Katarna, Otaua Ladira and Smero himself. Ashen Katarna, on a special "One of a kind" speeder bike, won while Smero suffered a crash and had to return on the back of a dewback.
The event ended in the Grindhouse Bar, where more drinks were served - too much for some guests, Falcun Nix even had to be moved to the med center for a quick detoxification.

Radioactive ore lost in Ord Mantell
Date: 291209
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 Intergalactic Mining Corporation sent a cargo of enriched radioactive ore from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to the Nova Orion Station in the Ord Mantell system. The "TTC-Encilia", a YT-2400 chartered from the Tatooine Trading Company, was flown by Azraiel DeShade, escorted by Falcun Nix and Batair Highlander, both in interceptors. Tav'la, Nee'ki Starr and Ramona crewed on the freighter.
The Naboo system was passed without troubles, but upon entering the Ord Mantell System the convoy was beset by an unidentified Vigo-class Gunboat blocking the approach to the Nova Orion Station.
In the following battle Batair Highlander's interceptor suffered crippling damage while the TTC-Encilia was damaged so badly that both the engine and most of the cargo was lost before the ship received halp from the nearby station. Falcun Nix managed to drive the Vigo off, but in turn was shot down by other raiders.
Local authorities claim that there's no danger for the population of Ord Mantell from the radioactive ore lost in space.
IMC shares fell 2 % at the Coronet Stock Exchange following the news.

Casino Owner found killed inside asteroid mine
Date: 291209
Planet: Ord Mantell
Region: Worlport
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Cuthach Sodo, nicknamed "Cutter", the owner of the Black Rasp Casino in Worlport, Ord Mantell, went missing a few days ago, after he closed the casino for "personal reasons". Contrary to expectations the casino did not reopen the day after, a cause for concern among some of the regular patrons of the venue.
Two days ago the missing casino owner was found - dead. His body was discovered in the "X22" asteroid mine. From what is known his chest was blown out by a powerful energy weapon, then his throat and neck were cut.
The authorities investigating did not comment on possible suspects, but since Sodo's precedessor at the Black Rasp Casino had been arrested for funneling money to the Rebel Alliance, a revenge killing by rebels cannot be ruled out - Sodo's role in the arrest of his precedessor was never fully cleared.
However there are other possilbe suspects since the casino seems to be going though serious financial difficulties as well, having trouble with paying its creditors. Rumors also claim that Sodo may have been killed for losing or stealing money given to him for laundering. Security chief Sjenor Rak was not availale for comment.

Body snatchers in Mos Carova?
Date: 291209
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Mos Carova
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
While Tatooine has a reputation as a haven for criminals of all sorts, thieves and murderers prominently among them, such that many claim that any visitor should expect to be killed, robbed, and fed to the local fauna - sometimes not in that order. Most regular visitors state that if one does know how to act around criminal scum - and how to defend oneself - one would not be bothered much by criminals, since most would be rather predictable.
However sometimes there are cases which disprove that, like the still not solved "burning claw murder spree". One of those has happened recently in Mos Carova, when Areta, her sister Rinna'tan and Ikasu Wolf suddenly died. Before the more jaded readers wave this off as the usual fate on a planet populated by pirates, smugglers and giant reptiles who like to dine on sentients, the sudden death in this case was not related to any violence - the three just died. No trace of poison was found either, at least as far as the investigation by the locals - justly afraid it might be catching - went.
The investigation did not go very far though since the bodies were stolen by a man claiming to be Ikasu's brother. From what is known he took the medical professional handling the bodies by surprise and knocked him out, then vanished with all three bodies.

Celox Scorpio - womanizer without peer?
Date: 291209
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Farpoint Valley
Story: (Written by the Social Correspondent, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Celox Scorpio, well-known rodian sabacc player and lawyer for the famous Holowood Galactic Studios, has come a long way from his humble beginnings years ago. Some even claim he is now all but humble, basking in his reputation as a card shark and corporate lawyer, surrounded by holoactresses.
They may very well be right on the money, seeing as Mr. Scorpio was overheard boasting about his love life last night on a visit to Tatooine, telling the other guests of Jailbirds about the seven girlfriends he had, "one for each day", allegedly each more beautiful than the other.
While this may just be empty boasting from the average entient, Celox Scorpio does have the diplomatic skills, lawyer's guile and sabacc face to pull this off - and he is not living in a bachelor's dream home with famous playboy Chiggs Chiggli for nothing!
Now the socialities all over the Galaxy wonder if we'll ever get a more detailed glimpse of Celox' harem - maybe as a holoshow straight from his Love Mansion?

Fierce fighting over ore transport near Penumbra Omen
Date: 221209
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 Intergalactic Mining Corporation's weekly ore transport took off again from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to make the trip to the Nova Orion Station in the Ord Mantell system.
The convoy consisted of Captain Ashen Katarna's "Crescent Raven", an X-4 medium freighter, escorted by Cris-Om in his Clone Wars vintage ARC-170, Stlian Nix in a Bellubab-22, Sagardon-Kahn in an Ixiyen fast attack craft and Ramona in a Scyk. Kobus, Ahijah. Nu'ro, Batair, Or'dino and Zinaida served as gunners on the "Crescent Raven" and the ARC-170.
The convoy left Tatooine's orbit and reached the Outer Rim hyperspace point without incident, jumping to Penumbra Omen in the Naboo system. They ships had barely arrived though when a number of suspicious starfighters showed up on the scanners, and soon were on an attack vector - two X-Wings, one Rhikxyrk and a TIE Interceptor, likely a deserter gone pirate.
In the following fight the convoy's Ixiyen was heavily damaged and had to be towed to the Naboo Station but all four attackers were shot down and the convoy reached the Nova Orion Station safely.
IMC shares rose 2 % at the Coronet Stock Exchange following the news.

Cas-Ru Roben Kidnapped!
Date: 211209
Planet: Talus
Region: New Doros/Dearic
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Two days ago Cas-Ru Roben, Governor of Talus, was kidnapped by unknown assailants. According to a press release by the Talusian Government the politician was saved in extremis in the Spaceport of Dearic by a detachment of storm troopers and the kidnappers were killed.
Anonymous sources however claim that Governor Roben was kidnapped by the infamous pirate Juroden Halcyon, for purposes unknown, and then released at the Dearic starport. Other rumors state that the storm trooper unit actually shot at innocent bystanders and passerbys, not any kidnappers, the Halcyon borthers having disappeared long before the troopers arrivedon the scene. What is known is that Governor Roben was safely brought back to New Doros.
Until there is further information available the whole affair remains shrouded in mystery.

Aak arrested for Tax Fraud!
Date: 201209
Planet: Talus
Region: New Doros
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Aak the toydrian slaver has been accused of many crimes, but hasn't been convicted of even one - either his acts had been legal, or someone else had been responsible, or so the authorities claim. Anonymous sources claim it was all thanks to bribes paid to the authorities.
Whatever the reasons Aak kept his freedom, contrary to the countless slaves he had captured, beaten and sold. His business recently encountered troubles though when he was maimed by Opal Lycanus and had to spend considerable time in a bacta tank. The costs for his treatment must have been greater than expected, and his confinement must have hampered his business further since he started to sell most or all of his slaves in an attempt to quickly get cash.
It was all in vain though - two days ago Aak was arrested by the authorities, for tax fraud! It seems Aak's greed got the better of him, and made him try to shortcharge the Empire itself.
It is widely known that there are just two things that one can count on: Death and Taxes. Therefore one wonders what fate will befall Aak, who was last seen boarding a transport to Dearic, surrounded by a jeering crowd of Talusians all too happy to see him getting his just desserts.
Aak's current location as well as his fate are unknown, but most believe he was either executed or sent to Kessel. Most also agree he earned either fate twice over.

Santa Wook Concert a success
Date: 201209
Planet: Corellia
Region: Central Corellia
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Two days ago the Santa Wook Workshop near Slater Slums, Corellia, held a Life Day Concert. To facilitate travel a road had been built from the Shuttleport of Slater Slums to the Workshop, where a giant Life Day Tree had been put up.
Organized by Kallabeccani the concert featured several famous artists and bands:
The Red Bocatts started with "Red Bocatts Theme", "Across the Galaxy", and "Life Day Zone".
Lazo Firbyne followed with "Chestnuts on an open fire" and "Let it Snow" and "It's Life Day Now".
The Neutron Pixies then went on stage with Dee'lin and The Dirty Little Smugglers, performing "Six Years of War", "Bounty Hunters" and "Freelancer in Deep Space"
Raiyna was the last act with "Watch the younglings play", "Swoop Race" and "Keeper's of the Fallen".
However, there were a few incidents during the concert and the following speeder race, which was won by Arzesaeth, and the pod race, which was won by Tadpo.
A flock of agressive birds had to be shot by some of the visitors, causing some protests by a few sentients. More disturbing however was the second incident.
Unknown culprits apparently used the opportunity of the race after the concert to make off with one of the YT-2400 that was parked near the event. No one was witnessed boarding the ship, and the first indication that something was wrong was when the ship began to power up, scattering parts of the audience when the engines ignited and the ship took off. As far is known he thieves made off unhindered, though a male human with a mohawk was mentioned as a suspect.

Firefight in Mos Carova
Date: 181209
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Mos Carova
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Mos Carova is a rough town, as many can attest - close to the Krayt Graveyard, most sane people carry blasters with them if they leave their house. Some are even said to sleep with blasters on or under their pillows - or both. It stands to reason that disputes in town can escalate from verbal to deadly violence very quickly.
Two days ago this happened in the local pub. An exchange of words between a man and a woman - the exact reasons are not known, possibly a domestic dispute - turned violent when the woman attacked the man physically, and in short order blasters were drawn, and more people joined the fight on both sides.
As far as is know the two losing sentients managed to escape though they were seriously wounded and their status remains unknown.

Pirate Invasion of Black Sands meets droid army
Date: 171209
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Black Sands
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
According to several reports two days ago Black Sands, a small town in western Tatooine, wheren the Headquarters of the Remahr Corporation as well as a small Imperial garrison are located, was attacked by a small army of pirates.
Due to conflicting reports the exact events are not known, but all agree that a massive army of well-equipped pirates attacked the town, which was defended by a small squad of stormtroopers, mercenaries in the employ of and members of Remahr Corporation, and a large number of battle droids of clone wars vintage - an astonishing number of droids, in fact, so high one wonders what the Remahr corporation was planning to do with them, apart from defending the town against an invasion.
As it was the two armies clashed at the walls of the town, where the defenders had gathered, and one of the largest battles Tatooine has ever seen since the Tusken Invasion broke out.
Things were further complicated when the Trandoshan Brotherhood as well as other mercenaries joined the fighting on the side of the defenders and a ship crashlanded in town, releasing a horde of what eye witnesses described as "bunch of rabid wookiees that attacked everyone".
What is known that in a tragic twist of fate several visitors of the town, among them a number of entertainers such as Amu'lette from the Holowood galactic Studios as well as Cepill, latest recruit of the Neutron Pixies, were surprised by the attack, and ended up hurt during the fighting. Other reports speak of the pirates deliberatedly shooting unarmed civlians begging to be spared.
Despite the ferocious fighting the town still stands, though the damage from the battle remains, as do the surviving droids. The hospital, which has been fought over at a point itself, is taxed to its limits with all the wounded though.
The reasons for the attack are unknown, though the town has had troubles with Jabba the Hutt in the past - violent troubles, in fact. To launch such a massive attack though Jabba would have had to have a more compelling reason than settling old accounts - or so we think. Unconfirmed reports of several pirate groups among the attackers as well as the Trandoshan Brotherhood reinforcing the defenders lead some people to assume that this is part of a larger power struggle among the gangs and syndicates of Tatooine's underworld - maybe even the start of an all-out gang war.

Koruni Hischot rescued, Scirzzo captured!
Date: 171209
Planet: Lok
Region: New Dosha
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
According to a leaked imperial report from Medical Officer Ichi Senshi, who was called in for medical assistance, a few days ago a large force of unknown origin made an assault on New Dosha, a slaver base on Lok, to rescue Koruni Hischot, which had been kidnapped at an imperial ball some time before by the slavers from the Trandoshan Brotherhood.
The attackers suffered minor casualties in the fighting and managed to save Koruni Hischot, which had been tortured by the trandoshans for hours and was gravely injured, but was still alive when he was broken out and was last said to be in stable conditions at an undisclosed medical facility.
Scirzzo himself, the shaman of the Brotherhood, was captured by the rescue force and according to the report his bounty was cashed in. His current status is unknown. Equally unknown is what triggered this conflict, but given the forces involved - Koruni Hischott is a known member of Jabba the Hutt's Desilijic Cartel - further violence has to be expected.
Planet: Lok
Region: New Dosha
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
According to a leaked imperial report from Medical Officer Ichi Senshi, who was called in for medical assistance, a few days ago a large force of unknown origin made an assault on New Dosha, a slaver base on Lok, to rescue Koruni Hischot, which had been kidnapped at an imperial ball some time before by the slavers from the Trandoshan Brotherhood.

Koruni Hischot kidnapped by the Trandoshan Brotherhood!
Date: 171209
Planet: Talus
Region: New Doros
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Five days ago, at a ball held at the Imperial League of New Doros, located right next to the New doros city hall, a group of trandoshans assaulted Koruni Hischot, a man allegedly a ranking member of Jabba the Hutt's Desilijic Cartel, when he was trying to enter the building.
Although this happened right under the eyes of Governor Cas-Ru Roben, who had been on the steps leading to the entrance, greeting new arrivals, only a single security droid and a male guest with a mohawk tried to intervene. Their attempts did not succeed and the trandoshans, later identfied as members of the Trandoshan Brotherhood, a Lok-based slaving organization, escaped with their victim.
According to some reports a twi'lek was overrun by a speeder during their escape, and the male guest, which got wounded, loudly blamed Cas-Ru for the lack of security at the ball.

Man murdered on Nova Orion Station

Planet: Ord Mantell
Region: Nova Orion Station
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Two days ago Adul Fenare, 34 years old, was killed on the Nova Orion Station in Ord Mantell. Fenare was said to have had ties to organzied crime, specifically Black Sun, so the authorities suspect that the death was part of a gang war, or a revenge killing.
An armored man had been overheard shortly before the murder, saying that he had a killing to do, but the authorities were tied up in the inspection of recently arrived weekly ore transport from IMC.

Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Two days ago the Intergalactic Mining Corporation's sent another ore transport from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to the Nova Orion Station in the Ord Mantell system, despite the recent fighting around and inside the station.
The ore was tranported in Captain Sarnor Takrome's YT-1300-class light freighter "Swiftshot", escorted by Sagardon-Kahn in his Krayt Gunship "Sovereign" and Ifourq in his Vaksai heavy fighter "Raven-7". Falcun Nix, Ramona and Batair Highlander served as crew. Several pirates attacked in the Naboo system, but were shot down quickly before the freighter was held up by an imperial inspection in Ord Mantell, where an unidentified Vigo almost crashed into the "Swiftshot".
IMC shares rose 2,5 % at the Coronet Stock Exchange following the news.

Nova Orion Station under attack!
Date: 131209
Planet: Ord Mantell System/Deep Space
Region: Nova Orion Station
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Last night the Nova Orion Station came under attack by both rebel and Imperial forces. Both faction sent ground forces escorted by fighters through Deep Space to the Ord Mantell system, boarding the station and engaging in battle. Most of the civilians caught on the station barely managed to evacuate before the hallways and elevators turned into slaughterhouses. Soldiers fought at extreme close range for most of the fights, only spreading out when they managed to break through choke points.
Meanwhile the battle raged on in Deep Space, where the fleets clashed trying to prevent reinforcments from arriving. The 42nd Fighter Wing's Onyx and Obsidian Dagger Squadron as well as DFA and other units took the brunt of this fighting. The following footage was released from the HQ of the 42nd Fighter Wing and shows part of the battle that took place there:
While the Empire held the station for most of the batlte in the end numerically superiour rebel forces overwhelmed the remaining imperials. There were numerous reports of atrocities committed by attacking rebel forces during and after the fight, some confirmed by civilian survivors.

Aak disemboweled by Opal Lycanus - noxious fumes released
Date: 131209
Planet: Talus
Region: New Doros
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Aak the toydrian slaver has often been called a windbag or floating gasbag. Not everyone might have known that this was a literal description - until a few days ago, when the toydarian was attacked in his own club in New Doros by Opal Lycanus, a well-known violent slaver that was or had been in his employ.
The reasons of the attack may be related to Opal having been enslaved earlier, and abused by Aak, but that's conjecture at this point. What is know is that Opal attacked Aak brutally, and sliced his belly open - releasing a cloud of noxious gas that rapidly filled Club Aak while Aak himself fell to the floor, unable to float anymore.
Opal escaped both the gas cloud as well as pursuit to the roof of the club, where she proceeded to brutalize the slaver until the slaver's security managed to catch up and drive her away. Aak, missing a wing and probably other body parts, received first aid by a veterinarian and was confined to a bacta tank for the time being.

Massive fight in Chalmun's
Date: 121209
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Mos Eisley
Story: Tatooine Correspondent
Once again, trouble happened in Chalmun's when an unidentified human male had an altercation with three Trandoshans and lost. As the Doshan's attempted to leave with the unconscious male they were stopped just outside the back door. Reports of what followed vary depending upon the witness relaying the information, but what seemed like a typical barfight quickly spiraled out of control into a veritable gangfight.
Apparently there ended up being several groups involved in the fight, with more arriving as the altercation proceeded. On onlooker explained it as "A pile of human, Dosh, and Twi'lek bodies". What is agreed on, however, is that the Doshan's ultimately fled the scene, taking with them one human and Twi'lek who had apparently been assisting them. Several of the Doshan's had to be carried.
The other side, though keeping the male human from being taken, had fared little better, appearing to suffer several more casualties, including the human male and Twi'lek female who are reported to be regulars of Chalmun's, and possibly involved in several recent and not so recent altercations at the club.

Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Two and three days ago, Deep Space again saw large-scale battles between Imperial and Rebel forces, though without any clear objective other than both sides trying to destroy the other side in what has become a war of atrition.
The 42nd Fighter Wing's Onyx and Obsidian Dagger Squadron featured prominently in this fight, together with elements from DFA. The following footage was released from the HQ of the 42nd Fighter Wing and shows part of the battle that took place two days ago:

Explosive cantina opening on Rori
Date: 071209
Planet: Rori
Region: Free
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Last night the "Slippy Fishy" cantina opened in the village of Free, near Shadow Falls in southern Rori. Visitors were a bit taken aback by reports of a Krayt Dragon sighting, though those could not be verified, and by an apparent ewok gathering near the cantina, but ince inside the cantina, owned by 'Tina, offered a well-stacked stage and bar.
Dee'lin, a talented musician, was entertaining the audience with her songs on stage during the opening, supported by several dancers such as Cepill. Her performance was hampered somewhat by an individual abusing the stage controller to set off pyrotechnic explosions in rapid succession, driving some of the more delicate visitors out of the cantina until steps were taken to prevent further abuse and Dee'lin could continue her gig uninterrupted.

Jeric Varrit is back - and already in trouble
Date: 071209
Planet: Talus
Region: New Doros
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Jeric varrit, troublemaker extraordinaire, has returned to the sector after a lengthy absence - which some speculate was related either to legal troubles, troubles with a patrimony suit, or both - and true to his reputation did not lose time getting into trouble.
From what we heard he had barely stepped off the shuttle three days ago when he managed to become persona non grata in New Doros, Talus - given some of the residents and regular visitors there this is no mean feat, but setting fire to a cantina likely will result in some repercussions even there.
Jeric Varrit maintains it was a very small fire, but small or not, the trouble he found himself in is as big as had to be expected.

Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
According to rumors three nights ago there was a prisoner break-out in the Imperial HQ in Mos Eisley. Details are sketchy, but it is beleived an unknown male in padded armor was seen fleeing the HQ with two human females, one of whom was limping and needed to be assisted in leaving the area as she was carried by the male.
While the identity of the man is not known the armor worn points at an individual who was involved in several fights and confrotnations with imperial troopers in the past, around Chalmun's in Mos Eisley.

Minister thrown out of nightclub
Date: 061209
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Farpoint Valley
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
New Doros has a colorful reputation, as the town is quite violent and scandal-ridden, despite the imperial presence on Talus. Though this may be related to the people in charge there, as an episode two days ago on Tatooine seems to indicate.
Zaviour the minister of health who runs all medical business in New Doros, visited Jailbirds, a nightclub in Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, for the first time, in the company of his second-in-command.
However the eccentric minister soon behaved more like a drunk spicehead than a member of the Talusian Government, and had to be asked several times to stop when he was loudly insulting the people and staff present. When he did not heed this he was told to leave - which he ignored as well, until he was finally thrown out - literally. Even outside the club he kept shouting for some time.
One cannot help but wonder why Governor Cas-Ru Roben tolerates the man, which has been nicknamed "Mad Doc" by others.

Last night, right when the usual guests were leaving Jailbirds in Farpoint Valley to head over for the briefing for the IMC Convoy, a firefight broke out in front of the nightclub between two armored men, sending the other leaving patrons scrambling for cover. Blaster fire was exchanged, leaving one of the shooters in need of medical assistance.
While the exact details of the fight are still unclear, according to some witnesses the fight was over a beautiful twi'lek dancer. Unconfirmed reports also claim that another firefight broke out hours later near the Lucky Despot in Mos Eisley, involving the same persons.
The management of Jailbirds did not comment on the incident, stating that it happened outside the club.

IMC Convoy beats pirates back
Date: 011209
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 weekly ore convoy of the Intergalactic Mining Corporation from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to the Nova Orion Station in the Ord Mantell system encountered pirates again. The freighetr carrying the ore, a YE-4 variant captained by Leaw, was escorted by a Ashen' Katarna in a Y-Wing Longprobe, Falcun Nix in an X-Wing and Ramona in a Scyk.
Shortly after reaching the Naboo system they were attacked by a Vaksai, which tore into the freighter despite its crew's fire from the turrets, and the escorts had some trouble stopping the attacker, but managed it before the freighetr was disabled. The freighter had taken considerable damage though, and one crew member - Tamar' Darkmist from the Red Bocatts - suffered burns helping the ship engineer Jenfre fixing a plasma leak.
The freighter continued into the Ord Mantell system, where the escorts covered the damaged freighter's docking, shooting down an attacking A-Wing in the process.
IMC shares rose 2 % at the Coronet Stock Exchange following the news.
