Rebel couriers interdicted and intercepted

Last night the Imperial Navy cinducted an interdiction and interception operation - a seek and destroy operation using interdictor vessels in several systems. Formed around the Corellian Sector Fleet, and augmented with units from the Bright Jewel Sector Fleet, notably the famous Onyx Squadron and the Eviscerator, sent to close down smaller systems and out of the way hyperspace points with smaller vessels while the interdictor cruisers controlled the hyperlanes. Ship crews were augmented by ground soldiers where needed,

The smaller interdictor vessels - YE-4s and Decimators - soon came under attack by strong rebel forces, trying to disable or destroy them - likely to allow some valuable cargo or courier to pass through. Escorts and gunners of the vessels engaged them, and while a few vessels were destroyed over the course of more than an hour, the price the rebel forces paid for it was high.

At the same time imperial fighter groups were searching the interdicted systems, seeking and destroying rebel ships of all types. Several suspect ships were encountered, and chased down and destroyed if they did not submit to inspection.

While the sector fleet command did not comment on what exactly was the reason for the interdiction operation, they expressed their pleasure with the way it went, indicating that whatever they wanted they caught.

The following footage was released by the Imperial sector command in Fort Keen, Talus, and shows some combats that took place during the operation:
