Rebel push in Corellia System

Date: 020510
Planet: Karthakk, Dantooine and Yavin System

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

Last night the navy of the Alliance to restore the Republic followed up on their earlier offensive in the sector with another offensive operation. The rebel fleet swept through the Corellia system with massed forces including capital ships to take control of key points in the system.

The response of the Imperial Fleet was a scrambled task force about half the strength of the rebel forces, made up of ships from serveral units. Despite the numerical disadvantage and despite serious losses the imperial starfighters and patrol ships engaged the rebels constantly for over an hour before being forced to withdraw.

Strategy experts did comment on the numerical superiority the Rebel Fleet demonstrated repeatedly in recented battles in the local sector, and speculated whether or not the Imperial Navy would be able to bring in reinforcements to even the odds again.

The following footage was released by the Imperial sector command in Fort Keen, Talus, and shows part of the battle:
