Planet: Corellia System
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Last night the Corellia system was the site of one of the longest and most brutal space battles in the sector. An Imperial Base situated at an asteroid was discovered to be the target of a massive rebel offensive and Imperial ships were scrambled to defend it from all over the sector. Led by the YE-4-class gunboat "Onyx Mauler" the ad-hoc defense forces consisted of about a dozen starfighters of various types gathered from several units.
The defenders were soon pressed hard as wave after wave of rebel ships attacked, from squadrons of Nova Courier missile boats to swarms of X-Wings and A-Wings, Y-Wings and B-Wing bombers augmented with Vaksais and ARC-170s, as well as several gunboats it seemed as if the entire rebel fleet of the sector was involved in the battle.
Despite being outnumbered massively the defenders held the line for hours, beating back attack after attack and inflicting heavy losses on the rebels, who were at times attacking the base heedless of their own safety or survival. After more than two and a half hours the evacuation order was finally given, and the base abandonned.
Unfortunately the ship transporting the case crew was shot down shortly before reaching safety.
