Rebel offensive in space

Date: 250410
Planet: Karthakk, Dantooine and Yavin System

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

Last night the Alliance to restore the Republic launched a major offensive in space. The rebel fleet had gathered a massive strike force numbering A-Wings, X-Wings, B-Wings as well as several Vaskai heavy fighters in order to achieve control of key systems and gain space superiority.

The Imperial Fleet scrambled a smaller task force centered around an interdictor ship from the Onyx Squadron and composed of fighters from the 316th, Onyx, Obsidian Dagger and DFA Sqadrons as well as AI, and met the rebel forces despite their numerical advantage head on.

In the Karthakk system the first clash took place, a short but furios engagement with losses on both sides mounting until the Rebel force hypered out. Other enggements with similar results were reported to have taken place in the Yavin aystem, centered around an Imperial Station there, and in the Dantooine system, near the planet's orbital station.

Despite their aggressive tactics and determination in the face of numerically superiour enemies the Imperial task force had to give ground in the struggle for control of the space lanes, even if it was less than expected.

The following footage was released by the Imperial sector command in Fort Keen, Talus, and shows part of last night's battles:
