Close battle for asteroids in Deep Space

Date: 300510
Planet: Deep Space

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

Last night Deep Space lit up with exploding ships and blaster fire again when the Imperial navy and the fleet of the Alliance to restore the Republic clashed in a bloody struggle for control of three ore-rich asteroids.

The Imperial task force split into three groups and raced ahead to take control of the asteroids at once, only to be struck by a rebel force who swept two of the asteroids clear of any Imperial presence in short order before barely getting stopped at the third asteroid.

Both sides rushed reinforcements in, and a lengthy struggle for the third asteroid ensued. Losses were replaced almost as soon as they were noticed, and even during lulls in the fighting rebel scouts and patrol ships kept skirting around the defending force or straing the asteroid.

During this time the Imperial forces sent out scouts and skirmishers to the other asteroids, but were pushed back again and again by the quickly reacting rebels. In the end the rebel offensive exhausted itself, and the force withdrew.

The following footage released by the Imperial HQ in Fort Keen, Talus, shows some of the battles in the Dathomir System and Deep Space:
