Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Despite the defeat of the Imperial Navy in the "Talus Gauntlet" battle in the Corellian system the rebel siege of Fort Keen has been lifted. According to recent reports the rebel troops pushed on despite increasing losses and being faced with determinded stormtroopers dug in in defensive position.
When the rebels kept charging into heavy blaster fire, even going as far as climbing over their own dead, the battle became a massacre, and when three siege tanks detonated, their cores breached, and ripped massive holes into the rebel ranks, it became a rout. Rebel casualties were estimated to number about 3000.
According to an unconfirmed report a rebel officer, Captain Cloudrunner, approached the Imperial line sunder a flag of truce, to negotiate a surrender or retreat, but was arrested, tortured and summarly executed instead. So far this report has not been confirmed, the captain being merely listed as missing in action instead.
