Rebels steal nerve gas?

Date: 300310
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Oasis

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

According to an anonymous source, supposedly an imperial officer or employee, twenty canisters of a type of toxic nerve gas, enough to wipe out a city, recently went missing from the Oasis shuttle base on Tatooine. Authorities are said to be doing all they can to find it, and setting up preventive measures in key cities to ward off against such attacks.

According to the source a small team using a sand-and-silver camo USV-5 speeder, a type often used by special forces teams on both sides of the Galactic Civil War for its ability to cross different terrains, and its quiet nature, drove into the oasis, killing any witnesses and guards present and breaking into multiple storage areas to find the toxin.

The circumstances of the operation hint at it being the result of leaked inside information or outright treason, but there are no suspect names being floated currently. However an internal investigation is underway. Officials refused to comment about the supposed theft, but stated that the use of such despiccable weapons was typical for terrorists in the employ of the Rebel Alliance.
