Rebels break Imperial blockade in Naboo system

Date: 010210
Planet: Naboo system

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

Two days ago the Imperial blockade around Rori - a moon notorious for harboring rebels - was challenged by a sizeable rebel force reportedly escorting supply freighters. The blockading forces were formed by elements from the 42nd Fighter Wing's Onyx and Obsidian Dagger Squadrons as well as the DFA Squadron and other units and were led by Commander Wezz Jansson.

From what is known the convoy had, at the time it reached Naboo, already passed through several patrolled systems, the rebels sacrificing several escorts to protect the freighters - a tactic they used again in the Naboo system by diverting the imperial forces and forcing openings for the convoy to Rori.

How the supplies and troops those freighters carried will influence the on-going ground and space war in the systme is as of yet unclear, but Keren is expected to remain under rebel control for the foreseeable future not least thanks to the continuing support it receives.
