Imperial Navy captures rebel corvette

Date: 180410
Planet: Yavin System

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

Last night the Imperial Navy managed to disable a corvette in the service of the Rebel Alliance in the Yavin system. At once the commander of the operation ordered gunboats carrying marines and stormtroopers brought in to board and capture the corvette, or at least secure the information in the ship's computer systems.

As expected the Rebel Alliance scrambled to prevent this, their bombers attacking the Imperial troop transports while heavily armed transports brought in troops of their own to rescue and repair the corvette. After some initial success they were pushed back though, despite spirited and determinded attacks, and ultimately driven off and the corvette secured by an Imperial task force formed from units from the Onyx and 316th Regal Squadron as well as DFA and AI, who brought in substantial ground troops on their transports.

The following footage was released by the Imperial sector command in Fort Keen, Talus, and shows part of the final battles of the operation:
