Stormtroopers staging?

Date: 020410
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Farpoint Valley and Mos Eisley

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

Two days ago about 200 stormtroopers were reported to have taken up positions west of Mos Eisley, followed by reports yesterday of 100 stormtroopers being sighted north of Mos Eisley and about 40 in Farpoint Valley. The troopers looked, according to eye witnesses, as if staging for a bigger operation, but so far no information concerning the possible objective of such an operation has been released.



Most observers and witnesses were of the opinion it was a raid on a suspected rebel or smuggler facility, but at this point this is pure conjuncture. Some speculated that it may be related to past, similar patrols.

Farpoint's Mayor, Kimisei Bythmi, stated that he was not aware of any Imperial operation in the city, and commented that the troopers most likely were just passing through.
