Imperial forces raid C.O.V.E.N facilities

Date: 150310
Planet: Dantooine
Region: C.O.V.E.N. Mining Facilities

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

Two days ago Imperial stormtroopers raided the C.O.V.E.N. Mining Facilities on Dantooine. Many employees of the corporation were detained and Lady Dionne Vao, famous for her cosmetics line, was seen being marched off in cuffs to a undisclosed location.

The reasons for this operation are not known at this point, but according to anonymous sources the troops raiding the mining facilities were attacked after a while by marauding pirates and driven out, which raises the possibility of those pirates having been the original target. The mining facilities have now been abandoned, if this was due to the imperial raid or due to the pirate attack is not known at this point.

Lady Dionne Vao was later seen at the Grand Opening of Tasceryn but did not comment on the raid. Given the circumstances of the raid, especially the attack by pirates, her presence was taken as meaning that there were no charges against her corporation. Rumors of C.O.V.E.N. being fined for indecent advertising for their "Lokian Love Yourself Lube" product line were proven to be unfounded.
