Imperial Fleet defeated in Naboo System

Date: 070310
Planet: Naboo System

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

Last night the Imperial Navy conducted scanning operations in the Naboo system to ferret out rebel smugglers and blockade runners supplying the Alliance troops on Rori and those involved in the fighting near Keren on Naboo.

The scanning ships, modified patrol boats of the Decimator Class, came under almost immediate attack by numerous rebel ships though, both heavy bombers as well as fast interceptors, and despite the presence of escort units including a gunboat the majority of the scanner ships were quickly destroyed.

Rebel losses were said to be severe, especially among bombers, but stacked up against the loss of the scanner ships and their specialized crew, and the defeat the Imperial Navy suffered in its attempt to hinder rebel movements in the Naboo System, that's a minor point.

The following footage from the fighting was released by the Imperial Sector Fleet HQ in New Doros, Talus:
