Fort Keen under Siege!

Date: 080410
Planet: Talus
Region: Fort Keen

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

Fort Keen, an imperial base on Talus, has come under attack by strong rebel forces two days ago. The main rebel attack was aimed at the trenches north of the city and losses on both sides are mounting. According to one leaked report the attackers keep pushing onward despite losing two armored fighting vehicles. Commanding officers on both sides have been reported killed in action as well, which is a testament of the ferocity of the battle.

Despite the presence of the vaunted 316th Regal Squadron only a single flight of TIE Fighters was launched, which could not gain air superiority, but managed to neutralize the rebel fighters. Rumors claim the squadron suffered from sabotage
in its docking system prior to the battle, preventing them from launching.

The fighting has since turned into a siege, with the base under constant if sporadic long-range artillery and mortar fire while the battle for air and space superiority is heating up.
