Civil War spreads on Tatooine

Date: 190210
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Anchorhead/Bestine

Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).

The Galactic Civil War doesn't let up on Tatooine. Bestine remains under siege for all practical purposes, with regular attacks launched against the city by rebel troops. Two days ago a surprise raid by Imperial Stormtroopers on Anchorhead, a known hotbed of rebel sympathizers and famous rebel base during the early years of the civil war, was launche,d likely in an attempt to divert some of the rebel forces surrounding the planetary capital. The mission failed though when the soldiers sent on this mission were slaughtered by several lightsaber-using fighters.



A day after that a massive collumn of rebel troops spearheaded by attack walkers smashed their way into the heart of Bestine and was only stopped at the last moment by desperate trench fighting at the very heart of the city's defense command post, which was all but destroyed during the fighting. Imperial reinforcements did not manage to secure the city until after the rebel forces had withdrawn in good order.
