Criminal camp stormed by stormtroopers

Date: 030510
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Northeastern Tatooine

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

Yesterday stormtroopers under the command of Lt. Colonel Welaspic stormed a camp of criminals in the desert area between Mos Taike and Farpoint Valley, Tatooine. The operation was launched after receiving several reports of unregistered take-offs and landings of unidentified light freighters in the area. Subsequent investigations discovered a hidden landing site and camp, and tropops were gathered to apprehend the suspected smugglers respectively pirates.

When the stormtroopers attacked the camp several armed sentients were in the process of loading crates on speeders. A number of them had to be shot when they resisted arrest but one female zabrak was taken prisoner and the goods were secured.



The following bulletin was released to the press:

For too long now, pirates, smugglers and other criminals on this planet have gone unchecked. This will change. Yesterday, the first of several operations to rid Tatooine of this vermin was carried out, with an operation against a band of pirates. During the strike, one of the two leaders of that group was killed. The other one, who was captured at the same time, was brought to justice today.

Long Live the Empire

- Lt. Colonel Welaspic


A clip of the execution was provided as well, but deemed too violent to publish. A still was chosen instead:
