Planet: Tatooine
Region: Bestine
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
The local garrison in Bestine has had problems enough to deal with, having come under repeated attacks by rebel forces almost every day this week. Now it seems there's a new trouble ahead - something different than large-scale battles, but disturbing nonetheless.
The garrison recently received, according to the local commander, a capsule containing the mortal remains of Major Jeru Comet. An autopsy revealed that the officer, which had been missing and presumed captured by the Rebel Alliance a few weeks ago, had been beaten to death with blunt instruments. With the body in the capsule was a rebel emblem, the authenticity of which is still being verified.
The Commander of the Bestine Garrison had the following statement being quoted.
"This cowardly murder is another clear proof of what kind of enemies the Empire is facing: Cruel, ruthless criminal filth with a blatant disregard for law, order, and lacking even a shred of honor. If those terrorists believe their heinous acts will make us falter they are wrong though - the more they reveal their true, ignoble nature, the harder each soldier will fight them, the more determineded each member of the New Order will oppose them to defend peace and prosperity of this Galaxy.
The best proof of this is the support by the civilian population of Bestine and beyond we receive daily in the face of repeated attacks by the rebel terrorists. As long as our craftsmen labor under fire, our entertainers brave batlte to support us and every able-bodied man and woman picks up a weapon to help fight the rebels we soldiers of the Empire know we cannot, will not give up until we have won peace for our Galaxy."

Bestine under attack!
Date: 270110
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Bestine
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Bestine on Tatooine is known for having seen more than its fair share of battles in the Galactic Civil War. For months it was the center for the Imperial troops on the planet, especially when there was a bloody frontline between Anchorhead and Bestine. The city kept suffering from occasional rebel raids for years as well as seeing several major battles, and was never fully pacified.
Last night saw another major battle when rebel troops started to mass in three camps around the town, fending of imperial skirmishers trying to disrupt their preparations for an assault on the city. Imperial troops and civilians alike hastily started to put up barricades and erect turrets while the rebels flew Clone Wars-vintage walkers in.
After a short, tense period the attack then began, and rebel troops and vehicles started to move in on the city. The reinforced imperial troopers however met them in the outskirts of the town and stopped their advance, counter attacking and checking incursions by special force teams, and destroying the few walkers who made it inside the city.
Even when the fighting turned into a chaotic mess, with soldiers not sure anymore where their position was, or what they were shooting at, the city held, with both the Starport and the defense HQ remaining under Imperial Control. When the rebel attack finally stopped the imperial troops, mercenaries and civilian volunteers launched a final counter attack that routed the rebel forces.
No one knows however when the rebels will be back - there have been reports of rebel troops gaining footholds in many locations on Tatooine.

Rebel assault on Dearic beaten back
Date: 270110
Planet: Talus
Region: Dearic
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Last night the town of Dearic on Talus came under attack by ground troops of the Rebel Alliance. Initially the rebels quickly gained a foorhold in the center of the city until arriving imperial troops forced them out of the town. While the rebels regrouped the imperial troopers as well as civilian volunteers began to fortify the city with barricades, expecting a major assault.
The rebel assault that took place exceeded the expectations though, with Clone Wars-era walkers leading the way from the edge of the city, followed by regular and irregular ground troops. At the same time a rebel strike group took control of the city's starport, allowing them to fly in additional troops. The defenders had some trouble dislodging the rebel troopers holed up in the starport, and ferocious, at times chaotic fighting took place all over the city until the last attackers were killed or driven away.
It's clear that the Rebel Alliance had been stockpiling supplies and massing troops and vehicles for this operation. The use of walkers, even if they were older models, came as a surprise to many, and according to some reports there even was a Hailfire tank sighted in the outskirts of the city.
Local experts fear that the fighting will go on in the days to come as both sides struggle for control of the city, which has become a strategic objective in the Galactic Civil War.

RSF prepared evacuation of Keren
Date: 260110
Planet: Naboo
Region: Keren
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Following repeated reports of increasing civil unrest as well as both the Empire and the rebel Alliance massing troops and materials in the area, the RSF has been preparing to evacuate the civilian population of Keren in case an open and large-scale battle breaks out.
RSF officials were quoted that they will do their utmost to avoid another Restuss, but that the safety of the civilian population was their priority. "Buildings can be rebuild, people can't." as one officer put it.
Rumors of a build-up of both armies have been around for weeks now, but so far the fighting in the Naboo system was still centered on the ruins of Restuss on Rori, with other areas and cities just suffering from the occasional skirmish.

Pirates board freighter and rob cargo
Date: 260110
Planet: Tatooine/Naboo System/Ord Mantell
Region: Farpoint Valley/Nova Orion Station
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Piracy has been on the rise since some time, the attacks of those criminals intensifying. This has been helped along with the Galactic Civil War requiring so many ships and troops which could patrol the spacelanes and defend planets otherwise. Last night's event indicates this perfectly.
The "SS Albatross" captained by Exile had been transporting ore for the Intergalactic Mining Corporation from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to the Nova Orion Station in Ord Mantell. Two imperial fighters from the Obsidian Dagger Squadron and a civilian mercenary in a Bellbulab-22 made up the escort for the freighter.
Despite this the convoy came under attack by two starfighters and two modified YT-1300 freighters shortly after leaving Tatooine's orbit, at the Desert Sands hyperpoint. All ships managed to safely hyper out though and reach the Naboo system, despite some damage taken by the "SS Albatross".
Things took a turn for the worse though while the freighter was getting repairs in Naboo's orbit when the pirates were detected again. A chase followed during which the convoy tried to lose the pursuit but without success. Finally forced to engage the pirates the escorts were quickly shot down and the freighter disabled, boarded, and robbed of its cargo.
IMC shares fell 2 % at the Coronet Stock Exchange following the news.

Imperial Forces defend civilian yacht
Date: 240110
Planet: Tatooine, Karthakk and Naboo systems
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Last night an Imperial Task force, headed by the 42nd Fighter Wing's Onyx and Obsidian Dagger Squadron as well as the DFA Squadron, escorted a civilian yacht through the Tatooine, Karthakk and Naboo system.
The yacht came under attack quickly in the Tatooine system near Jabba's Star and later Station Star-1. All attackers - flying typical pirate craft - were shot down by the numerically superiour defenders though before the convoy moved to the Karthakk system. There, in a notorious pirate system, the attacks intensified, but the raiders did not manage to stop, much less board the yacht.
A last attack took place in the Naboo system in an asteroid field, after heavy fighting at the Sea of Veruna Hyperspace Point, but once again the defending escorts came out on top, defeating the outnumbered attackers.

Count Lesap attacked in Lord Mierdrym's mansion
Date: 240110
Planet: Naboo
Region: Moenia
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Two days ago Lord Corvalis Mierdrym returned to Naboo after a long absence. The noble again took up residency in his ancestral home, Semberholm. The gorgeous mansion is located directly at the coast, south of Moenia.
The noble received a few visitors already, among them Count Simis Lesap, uncle of the late Count Lesap. However the return of Lord Mierdrym did not just attract legitimate visitors - one man broke in and attacked Count Lesap, and had to be stunned by Lord Mierdrym himself.
To make matters worse the attacker escaped afterwards - apparently the wookiee steward of Lord Mierdrym thought it was safe to place him on a couch instead of in a secure cell - and stole a speeder of another visitor. The RSF was notified and started a search for the suspect.

Convoy saved by Imperial patrol
Date: 190110
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 cargo convoy chartered and organized by the Intergalactic Mining Corporation which transported ore from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to the Nova Orion Station in Ord Mantell came under attack by pirates once again.
The convoy consisted of the YT-2400 class light freighter "TTC-Tencilia", piloted by Ramona, and the YT-1300 class ship "Ss Albatross", piloted by Captain Exile, as well as a TIE Escort from the 42nd Fighter Wing. The convoy ran into trouble even before leaving the Tatooine system when it was attacked by two raiders at the Desert Sands hyperpoint. While both freighters managed to jump out safely the escort was disabled.
Unfortunately the escape was short-lived - the raiders followed the freighters to the Naboo system and attacked them near Sea of Veruna. In the following fight a Y-Wing was shot down but the remaining pirate, flying a modified TIE Interceptor, likely the result of battelfield salvage, managed to disable both the "TTC-Tencilia" as well as the "Ss Albatross", and only the timely arrival of the decimator-class patrol ship "I.S.S. Extinguisher", which chased the raider away, saved the convoy.
The freighters managed to repair the damaged engines and reactors, and reached the hyperspace point "Penumbra Omen", where the battered ships linked up with the two Decimator-class patrol boats "I.S.S. Obliterator" and "I.S.S. Annihilator", who escorted the freighters safely to Ord mantell and the Nova Orion Station. Local authorities in the Ord Mantell system expressed concern over the use of Imperial starfighters by raiders.

Planet: Deep Space
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Two days ago the imperial forces suffered another defeat in Deep Space. Numerically superiour rebel forces hunted down the imperial command ships, then struck at the remaining escorts. The units of the Imperial Navy rallied several times and occasionally achieved local space superiority, but in the end were no match for the Alliance Fleet.
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:

Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Last night a transport shuttle miscalculated its approach to the landing pad in Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, and crashlanded when it missed its assigned spot, instead crashing into the nearby Grindhouse. Both the Grindhouse and the landing pad were lightly damaged while the shuttle suffered extensive damages and have to be written off altogether - salvage experts will be called in, as far as is known, but jawas already have been sighted in the area.
The shuttle was licensed to and operated by a rodian corporation and transported weapon upgrades for the "Ss Albatross", a YT-1300 light freighter owned and operated by Exile. Accoridng to the information known there were no deaths among the crew, but the a few wounded, and the cargo was damaged as well.
The reasons for the miscalculations are subject of an investigation.

Rebel task force sweeps through sector
Date: 150110
Planet: Tatooine System/Naboo System/Karthakk System
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Six days ago several witnesses reported multiple battles between rebel and imperial forces in three systems of the sector - the Tatooine, Naboo and Karthakk systems. The exact details are not known, but according to several of those acocunts a rebel task force centered on a Nebulon-B class frigate swept through the mentioned systems, engaging and destroying the imperial forces opposing the rebel ships.
Recently received information from an anonymous source claim that while the rebel lost several scouts and detatched escorts during the operation when those isolated elements were caught by imperial starfighter, the rebel main force considerably outnumbered any force the imperial sector fleet could bring to bear. A few attack runs on the rebel flagship by bombers took place, but failed to destroy the frigate.

While the exact details of the incident have not been released to the public yet it is known that after a firefight the attacker was taken down and a supsected acomplice dead, with the officer in critical condition. Subsequent investigations uncovered a weapon smuggling operation the suspects had been running by manipulating the databanks of the Nova Orion shipyards. The involved employee had been diverting materials and other ressources to covertly build ordnance and other military material.
A spokesperson from the Nova Orion Shipyards stated that the shipyard was shocked by te discovery of one of their employees being involved, and was taking measures to prevent similar actions in the future.

Tenacious Pirates beaten back
Date: 120110
Planet: Tatooine/Naboo System/Ord Mantell
Region: Farpoint Valley/Nova Orion Station
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Three days ago the Intergalactic Mining Corporation sent another cargo of ore from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to the Nova Orion Station in Ord Mantell. The ore was transported by Captain Falcun Nix' Nova Courier "Dae Nunt's Revenge", escorted by Ashen Katarna's V-Wing, an exiled twi'lek's Dunelizard and two TIE escorts.
One TIE had to leave the convoy at the hyperspace point "Miner Yards", but the rest continued to the Naboo system. There the convoy got attacked by an ARC-170, a TIE Advanced and an A-Wing. In the fight both the Dunelizard and the V-Wing, which had developped technical malfunctions, were disabled as was the freighter, but the remaining TIE Fighter managed to shoot down the last attacker. The "Dae Nunt's Revenge"'s crew managed to jury-rig emergency repairs and after a stop at the Rori station the freighter safely reached Ord Mantell, where it landed on the Nova Orion Station.
The following recording has been recovered from the remains of the astromech of the ARC-170:
According to some reports there was a knife fight on the Nova Orion Station during which Captain Nix got injured but no further information concerning this known.

TIE pilot responsible for loss of yacht?
Date: 080110
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Bestine
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
According to an anonymous source the explosion of the luxury yacht "Pearl of Mantiar" five days ago was not caused by the boarding pirates, but by the blaster fire from the TIE patrol that attacked the pirates. Apparently the TIE Fighter pilot in the lead misplaced a few shots during his attack run and hit the yacht.
ISB is said to be investigating the incident and has arrested a pilot, but they have neither confirmed nor denied this. A Storm Squadron representative announced that the investigation was still underway and that there was no result yet.

Last night the town of Mos Carova, in northern Tatooine, was attacked. Who exactly attacked, and what for, is as of yet unknown. Reports state both that imperial troops raided the town, and that imperial troops aided the town in repulsing trandoshan slavers - so far no clear picture has emerged.
What is known is that several residents and possibly visitors as well as a number of attackers were hurt and the town's medical facilities ended up taxed to the limits of their capacities. The fate of the captured raiders - according to rumors several high-ranking slavers from the Brotherhood of Dosh - remains unknown.

Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
In response to last week's attack, and the recent attack on a luxury yacht in the Tatooine system, the Intergalactic Mining Corporation's weekly ore convoy last night was under heavy guard - two interceptors as well as a the Decimator-class ship "Shadow's Eye" of captain Yescek Shadowlight protected Captain Ad'hemar Voltins YT-2400 light freighter "Peregrine".
As it turned out that was a good decision - the convoy was attacked soon after entering the Naboo system, and while Jolson Kell's Interceptor managed to quickly destroy a first raider, a second raider, flying - of all ships - an older N-1 fighter - hit the convoy hard, all but crippling the "Shadow's Eye" in repeated strafing runs and damaging Ashen Katarna's V-Wing before finally being shot down.

As it turned out that was a good decision - the convoy was attacked soon after entering the Naboo system, and while Jolson Kell's Interceptor managed to quickly destroy a first raider, a second raider, flying - of all ships - an older N-1 fighter - hit the convoy hard, all but crippling the "Shadow's Eye" in repeated strafing runs and damaging Ashen Katarna's V-Wing before finally being shot down.

Rogue scientist found dead near Farpoint Valley
Date: 040110
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Farpoint Valley
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Farpoint Valley has suffered from sporadic troubles with wild animals in the past, but they were usually native animals. It was therefore a big surprise when an Acklay was sighted today in the city, near the landing pad. Fortunately a few brave visitors of Jailbirds, among them experienced hunter Melkin Antross as well as Ashen Katarna and Falcun Nix, engaged the beast and killed it before it could hurt anyone.
The group followed the tracks of the animal back to where it came from and arrived at an abandonned house with a broken down door - and two more Acklays. In a short but viscious fight the two monsters were killed. Inside the house the group found a dead woman as well as the remains of what appeared to be a spice lab, smashed and looted, by tusken according to the traces found.
The dead body was later identified as "Denow Howa", a scientist which had been presumed dead over a year ago when human remains found in a stolen and shot down starfighter were identified by DNA scanning as belonging to her. She has been linked to the disappearance of several millions of credits from the accounts of her employer at the time, BT Inc. based in Kadara, Naboo.

As her personal journal revealed, she had been faking her death, and then taken on a new identity after murdering the plastic surgeon responsible for her new face. Apparently she was trying to complete her research by herself, but ran out of funds and started producing spice to acquire more funds for her genetic research - genetic research which used Acklays as test subject.

As it turned out she also was responsible for the murder of Lord Galendo Sirax during his visit to Farpoint Valley half a year ago.

With such damning evidence it's hard to feel sorry for the fate of this woman.

Luxury yacht boarded by pirates and blown up
Date: 040110
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Tatooine system
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Last night the luxry yacht "Pearl of Mantiar" sent out a distress call in the Tatooine system, alerting the authorities that it was under attack by an unidentified "Vigo"-Class gunboat. Communication with the yacht was lost soon afterwards.
An imperial patrol was immediately sent to the coordinates given but when the TIE fighter arrived it found the yacht in the process of being boarded. The starfighters engaged the gunboat at once, but could not prevent the pirate from undocking. During the undocking process the "Pearl of Mantiar" suddenly exploded for as of yet unknown reasons. The gunboat managed to escape afterwards.
The "Pearl of Mantiar" was the personal yacht of the Isariani Family, a noble house of Mantiar, and at the time of the incident Lady Isariani, second in line to the family fortune after her elder twin sister, was using it for a tour of the Outer Rim.
While the system authorities consider it very unlikely that Lady Isariani survived her family announced a reward of 1'000'000 credits for the safe return of her daughter.

Firefight at D'layne Estates
Date: 040110
Planet: Talus
Region: D'layne Estates
Story: By the Talus Correspondent
Last night D'layne Estates, just South of New Doros and North of Casablanca, was the site of a rather vicious fire fight between several unidentified personnel. Residents of the area had noted an increase in security around the estate throughout the day for an unknown reason. Several other cities in the area, to include Casablanca, and New Doros had reports of increased activity from bounty hunters and their droids. It would appear the hunters found their mark, or at least thought they did at the Estate.
Reports from local citizens say that blaster fire and explosions could be heard from inside and around the main manor for about 5 minutes before all went silent. Just prior to this three armored individuals, one with a giant lizard of some sort, had entered the compound stating they had tracked a wanted individual there. In the last two minutes of the apparent fighting some witness indicate that it sounded as if the droids in the estate had activated, and come to the defense of whoever was being attacked in the compound.
Only moments after the fighting ceased, A human male and an armored Twi'lek appearing to have a tail, were seen fleeing the scene on speeder bikes, the human male apparently had another armored figure draped over the front of his bike as the sped away to the east. Shortly after, their armor not looking as good as it did going in, the three armored individuals, suspected to be hunters, had been seen departing, with their pet being carried out.

A leaked Imperial report indicates that the suspect recently apprehended when found passed out in the entrance of Bestine Starport has escaped from the temporary detention center he had been moved to on Lok three days ago.
