Sneak attack on Bestine!

Date: 180510
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Bestine

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

Four days ago the city of Bestine on Tatooine came under attack by a small as of yet unidentified force. A number of sentries were killed by infiltrators using short triangular melee weapons before a partial blackout of the city was caused by sabotage.

Under cover of the blackout and using some rioting as a distraction the attackers moved into the city hall, looting and pilfering and killing several clerks and other civilians present as well as security guards.

Opinions on whether those attackers were terrorists in the employ of the Rebel Alliance, or criminals with a grudge or interest in the current legislature vary. Until it has been determinded what was stolen or destroyed, one might not know. The used weapons - mostly melee weapons and light blasters - did not give up clues either.
